If Made In Heaven was the closing chapter of Freddie Mercury's life and work, it was not to be the end for Queen. 1997 saw the release of the Queen Rocks compilation - sixteen of the band's harder classics. The album also contained two exclusives to tempt the diehard fans into buying it. The first of these was a rocked up re-take of 1991's I Can't Live With You, using Freddie's original vocal but all new, heavier accompaniment by Brian and Roger. The second was No One But You (Only The Good Die Young), a brand new song written by Brian May and dedicated to Freddie Mercury, Princess Diana, and anyone else who has died before their time.

Filmed at the legendary Bray Studios, the home of Hammer Horror in the 1960s, and also where the infamous Rocky Horror Picture Show was shot, the video was directed once again by the Torpedo Twins. Shot in monochrome, the video is a basic performance video, lifted by excellent lighting and a high-class sheen on the finished article. Used to promote the Top 20 single No One But You / Tie Your Mother Down, there are two versions of the video: the monochrome promo shown across the world, and a completely different edit with a new ending and sepia tinted footage of Freddie, which featured on the Greatest Flix III VHS in 1999.
