Sorry if this has already been posted

I was at work yesterday when The Invisible Man came on the stero system, but it wasn't Freddie! It was originally done in the 50's by "Platters". Im surprised I never knew before!

It's funny cause I heard the Platters version for the first time a few days ago. I like Freddie's version better though, I do think he did a great job on it.

I barely EVER like covers better than originals, But Freddie's version of "The Great Pretender" is one of the few exceptions. However, I LOVE the original version! I am a fan of the whole 'do-wop' scene.
