Members DRW50 Posted June 26, 2012 Members Share Posted June 26, 2012 That is my favorite Lesley Gore song. It doesn't sound as good on Youtube as it does if you hear it on the radio, but it's still great. For all the talk of "You Don't Own Me" (not a fan of that song), many of Lesley's songs are very sexist, but as with Dusty, she sings them so stylishly you just don't care. Also love this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OgV6o8NjcU and for another contribution to gay cinema, there's the song she wrote with her brother, in the version of Fame that wasn't ashamed of those icky queers. I just love this song. What a mess of a movie this was, but characters like Coco and Bruno will stay with me always. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY4O0b32uhQ&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Max Posted June 27, 2012 Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 "Maybe I Know" (which Alphanguy posted) is my favorite song of Gore's. It deserved to go far higher than #14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 Tonight we have the very talented soul artist and keyboard genius Billy Preston. Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 One of the most successful British bands of the late 1980s and early 1990s was synthpop duo Erasure, consisting of Vince Clarke (a founder member of Depeche Mode), and singer Andy Bell, who's never hidden his homosexuality. Between 1986 and 1997 they had 24 consecutive top 20 hits in the UK. This song was not one of them, only reaching #85 in the UK in early 1986, but it is my favourite song by them. Please register in order to view this content In 1992 they scored their only #1 in the UK when they recorded several ABBA songs on an EP called ABBA-esque. This was one of the things which led to the renewed interest in ABBA's music during that period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 I didn't know Billy Preston was gay. Erasure did so much to bring ABBA back, which you have to appreciate. I also enjoy this video, mostly for the hilarious dancing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gynvBs-bvJQ&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2012 You know what is odd, and totally unexpected about their video of the Abba cover, is that Vince makes the FAR prettier woman! I always liked Erasure, they were a big part of the last good era in music, "Love To Hate You" is one of my favorites. Last but certainly not least is whom many consider to be the greatest female singer that ever lived. Dusty: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90xl8zN8Aw8 Those close to her said that she always dressed like a drag queen because she feared being percieved as "butch". She did have a temper and like to throw things. Martha said that she used to go to a thrift store and buy old, cheap glassware so she would ahve soemthing to throw against the walls and break if she got mad.

Members quartermainefan Posted July 2, 2012 Members Share Posted July 2, 2012 Freddie Mercury was one of a kind <iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/IHRd0R-uKHc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I believe this a lip synched performance tho. At least that is was the description says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
