In 1986 during the Magic Tour in Spain, Freddie said on an interview that he wanted to sing one day with Caballe. The diva saw the interview on TV and she called Freddie and asked him if he wanted to do a duet with her. Inmediatly, Freddie went to Barcelona where he met Monserrat Caballe and that was the start of a nice Friendship. It was the first time an Opera artist recorded with a pop performer. The song was supossed to become official anthem of the Olympic Games in Barcelona '92, but it was replaced for the song 'Amigos para siempre' (Friends Forever) performed by the spanish tenor, Jose Carreras.
