Queen Deep Dive: Baby, you and me got "Staying Power"

What this episode covers

Leave it to Freddie Mercury to bring the heat with "Staying Power"; the funky Hot Space opener that leaves nothing to the imagination. Our composer contributes not just all vocals (delivered in driving staccato fashion) but also a groovy synth bass. A surprise appearance of energized brass bounces off of Freddie's playful vocals. Guitar contributions from both Brian and John create a balance of bright and gritty riffs, and Roger's programmed drums still have his magic touch. But live, this song was another animal entirely, and its heavier, rockier jive is right up my alley.
