Freddie Mercury

Autograph manuscript working lyrics for the song 'All God's People

Fragmentary drafts of the first verse of the song, 2 pages, with 3 pages of harmonies; altogether 5 pages, in black ballpoint and pencil, on 3 leaves of A4 paper, c.1990

"That was originally something Freddie was going to do on a solo album (Barcelona), and gradually we all played on it. I went in and played guitar and it seemed to work very well. John went in and played bass, Roger put the drums in, so it became a Queen track. I love it. Not many people have spoken to me about it, but I think it's great. It's got a lot of depth to it" (Brian May, interview for Guitar World, August 1991).

'All God's People' was included on Innuendo and as the b-side to 'Headlong'. The lyrics were co-written with Mike Moran.
