When Queen Met David Bowie On October 26, 1981, Queen and David Bowie released “Under Pressure” in the UK. It began with an unexpected meeting at a studio in Switzerland. Bowie joined Queen, and a spontaneous jam turned into one of rock’s most memorable collaborations. Listen to John Deacon’s bass line. Just a few repeating notes hold the whole song together, while Freddie Mercury and Bowie move from intimate phrases to soaring vocals. It’s a beautiful reminder that sometimes the best music happens when musicians stop planning and simply play together. What’s your favorite unexpected musical collaboration? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a01QQZyl-_I
