This man was the only person who rivaled Prince's energy. Freddie Mercury owned the stage in every venue Queen played in. Freddie built the compositions for Queen to entirely revolve around his passion for showmanship. He was a performer of a different caliber, both physically and emotionally. He caused fans to weep with happiness and they worshipped the ground he walked on.
Curtis Mayfield
Mayfield demanded a level of perfection that was unparalleled by other musicians of his caliber. He would command entire orchestras only with his own ear and his tweedy, open guitar tones. His voice was meek, but his presence powerful.
