[edit] Did One Vision inspire Michael Jackson's Black or White?
I have not read anything about this on the net, but I think think there's a noteworthy similarity between the riff Brian May plays at 1:25 in One Vision, and the main riff of Michael Jackson's Black or White. Now, the thing what makes it seem like more than mere coincidence, is the line that Freddie Mercury sings just before Brian plays this riff; "I'm gonna tell you there's no black and no white".
I know that MJ and Queen were good friends, so is it possible that MJ put this riff in his song as a small homage to Queen? It can't be the other way around, since One Vision was released in 1985. Any thoughts on this? (I posted a similar comment on the song Black or White's talk page as well) Lappado 12:37, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Added a line to show song is used in the film Iron Eagle but realised that I hadn't logged in. Un-did the edit and re-did it after logging in. Gopez (talk) 20:18, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
