Greetings friends !
There's a clip of Roger Taylor, I think in a recent-ish documentary, where he says something of this ilk:
"When you heard Freddie sing one of your songs, it helped you realize how limited of a singer you are."
Any recollection of where this is from !?

Maybe the MTV recent reworked songs series?
Cheers,

i recall that too. I think it is referenced in the excellent ‘Bollocks with Bob’ radio special on Roger. Roger was discussing recording and releasing Heaven for Everyone with the Cross. |

According to In Their Own Words section in this forum, under the entry of Heaven For Everyone: Roger Taylor (Absolute Greatest, 11.11.2009): ‘I was making a solo album, I think it was actually an album with my band The Cross, and Freddie came down to visit in the studio and he loved the song and he said, “oh God, you’ve got to let me sing that.” So he sang it and we got through a bottle of vodka, I think. And then eventually I think we, Brian and I, we replaced a lot of it and we re-recorded it so it had rather a long birth – a long and difficult birth. Freddie does an amazing job on the vocal, I think. Originally, I had sung this and when you then get Freddie Mercury to sing something you’ve sung you just realise your limits and how much further he could take something vocally.’ |

A missed opportunity for this one, but I've got another project I may well use the clip for.
Thanks everyone !
