"One Year of Love is sort of a soulful ballad and not necessarily a typical Queen tune, so John must have pitched the idea of me playing to Freddie who then grabbed it with both hands."  Steve Gregory

Best known for his legendary solo on George Michael's Careless Whisper, during an illustrious career spanning over 50 years saxophonist Steve Gregory recorded and played with a who's who of top acts… including Queen. In an exclusive interview with Dave Fordham that originally appeared in the winter 2023 Official International Queen Fan Club magazine, Steve detailed the path from playing with Gonzalez, one of John Deacon’s favourite 1970s bands, to contributing saxophone to One Year of Love.
