On April 1, 1984, in his parents Los Angeles home, Marvin physically attacked his father for verbally abusing his mother.

Starting in the early seventies and throughout the eighties, Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon have written hit after hit. Queen has over 51 hit songs to their credit. Sadly, Freddie Mercury died in 1991 of complications due to AIDS. Queen, in my opinion, is the greatest rock group ever.

Some of their other hits are "We Will Rock You" and "Another One Bites The Dust".
