We Will Rock You, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We are the Champions and the legendary Bohemian Rhapsody, are songs that just scratch the surface of Queen’s legacy. There was only one Freddie Mercury. His unique vocals have made it near impossible to perform his music as he did. Finally, we are able to present Marc Martel and One Vision of Queen performing Freddie’s music as it should be. Legendary Queen drummer Roger Taylor remarked to the Daily Record: “That voice. You listen, close your eyes and you think it’s Freddie. It’s really uncanny.” You may have already heard Marc as he performed vocals on the Bohemian Rhapsody, the recent Queen/Freddie Mercury biopic.
