The Golden Boy is a song recorded by Queen frontman Freddie Mercury together with Catalan operatic soprano Montserrat Caballé.
Originally included in the 1988 album Barcelona, the song was released as a 45 rpm two weeks after its appearance in the main album, with another excerpt from the LP, "The Fallen Priest", as the B-side. An instrumental version of the song was included in both the 12" vinyl and the 5" CD single releases. The single reached #83 in the UK Singles Chart.
The song's music video is footage of the artists' performance at the open air "La Nit" festival in Barcelona on 8 October 1988 (Mercury's last live performance before his illness got worse), where the song was performed along with "Barcelona" and "How Can I Go On". The video was first released as part of a 5" CD video single.
