I remember the exact moment when I first heard that song. I had just got in my car and turned on the radio. I knew that it was going to be a hit as soon as it ended.
I don’t actually recall the plane crash. I would have been 12 but was not in to music at the time.
Remember when I too heard this the first time. (This was the first album I ever I bought! and 40 years later I still know all the words. Lol.)
Also remember when I first heard Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. Best group ever! Amazing vocals.
