Freddie Mercury, singer-songwriter and musician

“This thing called love I just can’t handle it / This thing called love I must get round to it / I ain’t ready / Crazy little thing called love / This thing (this thing) called love (called love) / It cries (like a baby) / In a cradle all night / It swings / It jives / It shakes all over like a jellyfish / I kinda like it / Crazy little thing called love.” (“Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” by Queen, 1979)

Sept. 5, 1946-Nov. 24, 1991
