 In 1970, the newly formed Queen featuring Freddie Mercury on vocals, guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor, and Mike Gross on bass played their first gig in England. They were billed as Smile, which is the name of the band May and Taylor were previously in. And that was for whom the booking had originally been made. Queen, one of the world's best-selling artists of all time, they are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
