Working with Michael Jackson
Freddie Mercury and pop star Michael Jackson recorded a song together called There Must Be More to Life Than This. It was released only years later. Jackson once said that the song they did together was an important influence for his album Thriller. They also recorded together State of Shock and Victory (1981-1983). There Must Be More to Life Than This was released by Queen on their best hits album Queen Forever in 2014. Although Freddie’s speaking voice was more in the baritone range, he sang usually in the tenor range in those songs and in many others.
