TIL David Bowie's Heroes was recorded with one microphone 22cm (9 inches) away from him, another one 6m (20 feet) away, and the last one 15m (50 feet) away, so that he'd have to adjust his tone in different parts of the song (in the 6 minute album version, link in comments)

TIL that when recording "Heroes", David Bowie used three microphones. One 9 inches away, one 20 feet away, and one just beyond that. Each microphone was muted as the next activated, forcing him to sing at increasing volume to be heard.

TIL that although Freddie Mercury was known for his large vocal range, he was actually a baritone. He didn’t believe that his fans would recognize his voice unless he sang as a tenor.
