I was just going over my parent’s music list and found some really cool videos of artists that I heard when I was growing up like Queen, Pink Floyd and others. Can we have a music thread here for all to enjoy this music as well as current songs? I have found a fantastic one of Queen in remembrance of Freddie Mercury that I would like to share.

This is....
One of my favorite Rock anthems - I'm not sure when the embedded video is from, but if you compare it to the video at the bottom link (embedding is disabled on that one) it seems like Bruce is just walking through the one version.

His wife, Susan Lanier-Bramlett, said he died on Saturday after "seven hard months" of ill health.
"I held him and he held on up until the last breath with which he went in peace to the light and on into eternity," she said in a statement.
Wow, that is the most potent and heart warming statement that I have ever heard about the intense experience one has with someone's death.
I have never heard of him. Thank you for posting this about his history. It was very interesting about him teaching Paul McCartney how to play the slide guitar. I absolutely love that song "My sweet Lord"! One of the best songs ever.

Jamaica songwriter Ford dies; penned Marley tunes
KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) -- Vincent Ford, a songwriter credited with composing the Bob Marley reggae classic "No Woman, No Cry," has died in Jamaica. He was 68.
Ford died Sunday at a hospital of complications from diabetes, said Paul Kelly, a spokesman for the Kingston-based Bob Marley Foundation.
The song, which appeared on Marley's 1974 "Natty Dread" album, was inspired by the Kingston ghetto of Trench Town where Marley and Ford lived in the 1960s.
Ford is credited with the tune. However, some critics contend that Marley wrote it himself but gave Ford the credit to help his friend support himself with the royalties.
Ford, who ran a soup kitchen and lost both his legs to diabetes, is also credited with three songs on Marley's 1976 album "Rastaman Vibration."
Marley died of cancer in Miami in 1981 at age 36 and remains one of this Caribbean island's most beloved national heroes.
