Taylor has had a productive solo career, releasing five albums. His first single was his 1977 “I Wanna Testify”. He recorded it during Queen’s sessions for the News of the Worldalbum. The A-side, although a cover of The Parliaments song of the same name, was completely different from the original. The B-side was a self-penned song “Turn on the TV”.
His first solo album, Fun in Space, was released in 1981. Taylor performed all vocals and played all instruments aside of about half of the keyboards, which were done by engineer David Richards. With Queen still touring heavily and recording at the time of release, Taylor was unable to promote the album to its fullest extent, so he appeared on some European TV shows to promote the single, “Future Management”, including Top of the Pops. The only other single to come from the album was “My Country”. The only US single released from the album was “Let’s Get Crazy”.
