Sail away Sweet Sister vocals

I love this beautiful song sung so well by Brian but all the high notes I hear in this are they actually sung by Freddie? Or does Brian sing some too...I'm confused? I always thought it sounded as though Brian sung it all but then soemone said that Freddie sung the :"Hot child that you know you're young you got your whole life ahead of you but IIII" (High note)bit. I always thought it was Brian but when I listenrd to it closeley it did sound a bit like Freddie. Could you please help me on finding out who sings what parts exactly in this song please cos I am really confused?

The "Hot child" is Freddie. Brian sings the rest.

It always amazes me when I hear stuff like that! Not being able to tell Freddie sings on that track!? Whoa...

Many many people used to think Brian did the falsetto part just because Brian sang falsetto the "anytime" of Killer Queen on stage. And in that part Roger was doing the high voice and Brian the "low" part (around A3).

Inclusive I remember people telling me that Brian sang the intro of '39 and screamed in 'Lap Of The Gods' based just in the fact that the camera focused on him during 'anytime' at the concert for the people of Kampuchea

eh?

What I mean is that I met many people who thought Brian was the "soprano" of the band just because they had downloaded some parts of the kampuchea concert (from here I think) and during Killer Queen the camera focused on Brian during 'anytime'.

During the first months of my site I received mails from fans telling me that Brian was the one who sang the intro of ITLOTG and '39 and the middle eight of SASS

Sail Away Sweet Sister is such a good song! One of my favorites.

Ahh, i understand. It's the same old story with John singing backing vocals, because he opens his mouth in the videos

> It's the same old story with John singing backing vocals, because he opens his mouth in the videos

That's a very good point. I understand people who think John sang ocassionally in the albums (because I'm one of them), but I don't get why most of them (us) think John sings the bassnotes of 'Somebody To Love' and 'Bicycle'

This is a great song of Brian's. Probablly my favorite of all the tracks he took the lead vocal on. But freddie sounds amazing on the middle eight here. That high note he hits has to be one the highest he ever recorded. The "Why" in UP is another great one as well.
On Brian's "Live from Hamburg, 98" he performs this song during the encores. Neither he nor his back up singers attempt to sing the middle eight. They only come in on "Way too soon, Ah..."

I think that John (!) did backing vocals in Radio Ga Ga live. It's either him or Spike. There's definately a 4th voice.

"John, on Wembley, actually sings NUMEROUS times! Ga-Ga, Tear it Up, Lap of the Gods! GO, johnny, GO!!"

Thats Spike, not John

He did sing on stage, according to what he said in a Japanese magazine "In the studio it's mostly Roger, Freddie and Brian doing all the harmonies. I barely participate. On stage I sing little backing vocals but I can't call myself a singer"

Well- we all know that he was singing on stage... One thing though- his mic was off...

It wasn't off, but the volume was minimal compared to the guitars, piano, drums, bass and Fred's & Roger's voices. Note that in the 80s Brian's mic was also very quiet
