Initially released in the Autumn of 1979, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” was Queen's first US Billboard No. 1 hit, where it stayed for a month, and it also reached the top spot in Australia, the Netherlands and Canada.
Composed by Freddie Mercury in just ten minutes and also recorded at breakneck speed, the song has gone on to become one of the band's most beloved tracks and was famously part of the band's set for the 1985 Live Aid performance. It's since been covered by artists as diverse as Michael Buble, Diana Ross and Maroon 5.
Sony Music Vision presents “Queen Budapest,” the first Western stadium rock show to take place behind the Iron Curtain, and the final filmed Queen live performance.
