Five Best Queen Songs (Not Sung by Freddie)

Dismiss Foster Sylvers as little more than a poor man's Michael Jackson if you must, but damn, the smash "Misdemeanor" lays to waste everything MJ recorded solo until "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough." A sinuous, loping evocation of street-smart puppy love, it's one of the most underrated funk jams ever. While Sylvers was just 11 years old when he cut this preternaturally accomplished solo effort, he is such an ebullient and charming singer that the positives far outweigh the negatives.

Delta Spirit
