Let Me Live is a song by Queen, from the album Made in Heaven. Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor and Brian May share lead vocals, with Mercury singing the first verse, Taylor the second and May singing the last one. During the choruses, all of the band members sing, as well as a background choir, giving it quite a gospel sound.

[edit] History

This track was originally recorded with Rod Stewart in 1983, and was intended to be on Queen's The Works album in 1984[citation needed]. The original "Made in Heaven" version had to be changed due to copyright problems because it resembled the song "Piece of My Heart".

[edit] Additional musicians

Rebecca Leigh-White, Gary Martin, Catherine Porter and Miriam Stockley (Backing Vocals)
