It Swings, It Jives

Not too many lead singers I know could pull of the black leather pants with white knee pads look. But that's not the case today for a 1980 song that has been remade a million times over the years, but not any better than the original done by Freddie Mercury and the boys of Queen who wrote and recorded the song back in 1979. Released on their 1980 album "The Game," "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" was a tribute song to Elvis Presley, and became the first #1 hit for the band Queen...
