| Freddie Mercury belts out "Time Waits For No One" in a previously unreleased song and video. Proves why he was such a vocal powerhouse. |
Believe it or not, there's a "new" tune out there by Freddie Mercury called "Time Waits For No One." and it is a gem. According to USA Today, singer and producer Dave Cark recorded Mercury performing a version of the song called "Time" for a sci-fi rock musical.
The song had all kinds of production, some would save over production, with big percussions ad all kinds of backup vocals. That song was released and peaked at number 32 on the UK music charts in 1985.
However, Clark had Mercury record a different version of the song accompanied only by piano. That's what's being released now as "Time Waits For No One."
Clark re-discovered "Time Waits For No One" last year, but decided to wait to release it. He'd been looking for the master and video for more than a decade, but searches of recording studio failed to turn the up, says NPR. Then, miraculously they were found in 2017.
By then, the Mercury biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody" was coming out, and Clark didn't want to compete with that, reports USA Today.
So he waited to release it
As you can see and hear in the video below, you don't need any big production values when it comes to Mercury. Just let him sing. You can also see is familiar, unique mannerisms as he performs.
And what a performance!
Here's the song and video:
