Iconic bombast champions QUEEN, led by the greatest rock entertainer in
music history with the late theatrical Freddie Mercury, released their debut
single KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE 52 years ago today, on 6 July 1973.
It was written by guitarist Brian May and was
the opener of their self-titled debut LP.
It didn’t chart until it was re-released in 1975.
In 2008, Rolling Stone Magazine rated the song 31st
on its list of ‘The 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time‘.
Keep yourself alive, Freddy.
