You don't fool me (Queen)

[Karen Vipan]

Can anyone tell me who actually "sings" this? Is it Freddie Mercury as it
was released after his death, or was it one of the other members of the
group?

"Not a posthumous collection of odds and ends but an album
actually recorded in the final months of Freddie Mercury's
struggle with AIDS, MADE IN HEAVEN is full-force Queen. Their
dynamic theatrics charge the album, as Mercury's unrivaled
voice and the band's grand production aesthetic resound clearer
than ever before. MADE IN HEAVEN captures all the explosiveness
that made Queen one of the most magical big-rock bands of the
'70s and '80s. Mercury's powerful voice soars to heights that
mere pop singers simply aren't able to grasp. On "It's A
Beautiful Day," and particularly on the song's refrain, his
regal vocal prowess reminds the listener that this is a man
who could sing opera but still rock harder than most heavy
metal screamers. The rest of the band is equally brutal in
its precision: Brian May's sophisticated guitar work, and the
eloquent, sympathetic rhythm section of bassist John Deacon
and drummer Roger Taylor make this collection of rock music a
moving affair. Throughout their career, Queen beckoned the
acceptance of a broader range of pop-rock. Mercury's vocals
soared beyond the rock idiom, and May's dignified guitar
arrangements may never be equaled. Freddie Mercury will be
forever missed, but the unrestrained beauty of MADE IN HEAVEN
captures him in a loving portrait."
