A Queen song for sure. Queen songs have always had a certain quality and this has quality by the bucket load. I'm sure it was destined to be a Brian solo effort and Roger convinced him to record it as Queen.

To my mind, the last proper Queen song.
No Freddie No Queen

Those (as far as I recall) don't feature Freddie when they could have done.
Actually, does John play on Fight Fom The Inside either???)[/QUOTE]i agree with you..for those who say no Freddie no Queen, well, there you go, Good Company is just perfect example of QUEEN SONG without Freddie, just like C-Lebrity :)

No, not a full-blooded Queen song.
It's a tribute song written to intentionally stick out from the rest of the album it was released on.

I very much consider it a proper queen song and is actually one of my favourites. I bought the Queen Rocks album back in the late 1990’s just because it featured the single, even though I had practically every other song on there already!

There are plenty of Queen songs that didn't feature all four members. The only difference with No-One But You is that one of the members had died.
So, absolutely, it's a Queen song.

Some other data points... "Don't Lose Your Head" has Joan Armatrading on vocals. And "Good Old Fashioned Loverboy" likewise. And "Innuendo" has guitar from Steve Howe. Are these then "Queen" songs?
I'd argue they (perhaps loosely) ARE. But then I'm IN FAVOUR of QPR - simply because Brian and Roger have found a new way to make music and have fun.

...And if we expand this same definition with just the tiniest bit, the same applies to How Can I Go On and Love Lies Bleeding.
Just like the question "who is Queen" can be answered differently depending on your personal bias, so does this question have several answers.
Personally I think that to be considered a "Queen song", all four members must have had the opportunity to take part in the recording sessions at the same time.
Modern Times Rock 'n' Roll is a Queen song because Freddie had the opportunity to perform the vocals himself, and agree that Roger's was better.
Mother Love is a Queen song because Freddie had the opportunity to sing and play during the recording sessions.
Made in Heaven isn't a proper Queen song. It's a good song improved by the additional work of the other Queen members, but it wasn't meant to be a Queen song when the vocals were recorded.
No-One But You isn't a Queen song because there never was the opportunity to veto the Roger/Brian vocals in case Freddie sounded better. It's a nice tribute song, but hardly a Queen song.
C-Lebrity is a Roger Taylor song with a bit of Brian May guitar on top. It definitely lacks another perspective to improve it.
So, absolutely, it's a Queen song.
