"Somebody To Love"
Oh, Lord
Somebody (somebody), somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
(Can anybody find me someone to love)
Thanks to shadyfan, Luke Bridges, Julia Brown, Jake, Šnikurš for correcting these lyrics.
Writer(s): Freddie Mercury
This song was written by Freddie Mercury at the piano. A major influence for the writing was
Mercury's fascination and admiration for Aretha Franklin.
The sound of a 100-voice gospel choir was made from only three voices: Freddie Mercury, Brian
May and Roger Taylor, through voice-layering techniques. John Deacon did not sing backing
vocals on the recorded album.
This single reached number 2 in the UK and number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US.
George Michael sung lead vocals on this song when it was played live during The Freddie
Mercury Tribute Concert on the 20th of April 1992. The song was later re-released as the lead
track of an EP called "Five Live" (1993).
This song is featured in the film "Ella Enchanted" (2004). Anne Hathaway sang it in her role as
Ella.
