One of Queen's best pop singles, "A Kind of Magic" started life as a mashup in "A Kind of Vision" and was elevated to grand energy in Roger's original version (featured in the Highlander film credits); before Freddie injected a commercialized streak, creating the final take that would be released as a single. This lively song features everyone at their best, whether restrained or unleashed. Isolated vocals showcase the brilliance of subtle and effective production. And the boy's live performances have brought my love and affection for this song to a ridiculous level.
