"Under Pressure" is a song performed by Queen and David Bowie in 1981. It was Queen's first release with another recording artist, and is featured on their 1982 album Hot Space. The song reached #1 in the U.K. The song known for John Deacon’s distinct Bassline that is played throughout the song, which was sampled in 1990 by Vanilla Ice in his one hit wonder, "Ice Ice Baby". This landed Vanilla Ice in court with Bowie for copyright infringement. This song is a great example of the late Freddie Mercury’s tremendous vocal presence. Hope you enjoy.
