Queen will celebrate what would have the 65th birthday of their late frontman Freddie Mercury on Monday by streaming their concert film Live at Wembley Stadium for free on YouTube. The concert movie, which documents the highlights of two concerts at the massive venue in London in 1986, features many of the band's best-known hits, such as "Bohemian Rhapsody," "We Will Rock You," "We Are the Champions," "Another One Bites the Dust" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." The concerts filmed for the movie were among the last the quartet ever played together.

“Too Close”

Next | 1998

Next was formed in Minneapolis when the uncle of Terry "T-Low" and Raphael "Tweety" Brown, who was a gospel choir director, introduced the brothers to Robert Lavelle "R.L." Huggar. Sounds of Blackness singer Ann Nesby groomed the R&B group before handing them over to Naughty by Nature's KayGee, who wrote and produced "Too Close." The idea for the song was sparked "from a conversation we had with several girls at a nightclub," explained T-Low. "It's talking about the club scene, with guys getting out of hand and the female telling him to back up, asking, 'What are you doing?'"
