GAYS AND LESBIANS IN DISCO

[paul]

OK, let's name 'em and try and have a little fun with this :lol:

[Marcio**]

maybe Dan Hartmann (Instant Replay)
maybe Jermaine Jackson (Let's Be Young Toninght)
maybe Elton John's friend Neil Sedaka (Laughter in the Rain)
maybe Theo Vaness (Sentimentally It's You)




:)

[Marcio**]

maybe Charles Aznavour (Dance In The Old Fashioned Way )

[paul]

Maybe Sylvester
Maybe DiscoTex & The Sexolettes
Maybe Johnny Mathis

[Zef]

Maybe Nona Hendryx

[Disco Funk]

I think most of the Jackson family men probably are gay.

I've heard Mathis, Monti Rock (Disco Tex) are. Sylvester definitely.

Members of the Village People. Hard to say if Victor Willis was, even if he was married to Phyllcia Allen.

Lead singer for the Dynamic Superiors (Nowhere To Run) definitely.

Members of Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes, after I saw a clip of them dancing to Bad Luck - totally gay. Teddy P has had the strongest rumors of being gay (or at least bi) attached to him.

I've wondered if Melvin Franklin/David English of The Temptations was. Or even Eddie Kendricks.

Alicia Bridges - probably.

Phillip Bailey? Theodore Mills (Blue Magic)? Russell Thompkins (Stylistics)?

He was (and is) not.

I had a feeling a feeling Alicia Bridges was lesbian.

[Videoskooter]

Well in the Disco I visited mostly, Patrick and Bob were gay and Nathalie was a Lesbian. And... I was pretty popular with the guyz too

But, whatchawant, I am a hunk, you know! Still sexy after all those years!

Add:

PAUL PARKER
DENNIS PARKER
D.C. LARUE
PAUL JABARA
FRANK LOVERDE

SHARON REDD
JOCELYN BROWN (SHAW)
DUSTY SPRINGFIELD
LESLEY GORE (she has a disco record in mid-'76)

[markydefad]

don't forget PATRICK COWLEY.

there must be many more---remember that DEATH LIST we once did? We had pages of dead disco people--many of them GAY.

[Disco Funk]

I guess we should add Walter Gibbons to the list. If you've heard him on 12" remix of It's Good For The Soul by Salsoul Orchestra ("sing it girls!") it's pretty obvious. I think Larry Levan was gay as well (I must have read it somewhere). He played on some of his remixes.

Disco Funk

[NickNack]

I think Larry Levan was gay as well (I must have read it somewhere).

:) You think correctly, along with at least 95 of the other 100 DJs in our Record Pool. I'm probably being generous because we used to joke around: Two of us are straight. One of us is a twin. Be careful who you kiss. :D

[Marcio**]

Peter Allen (I Go To Rio)








:)

[discopsycho]

Alicia Bridges came out a few years ago.

Carl Bean ("I Was Born This Way")

Elton John ("Victim of Love")

You wouldn't remember if Quinny was in that record pool would ya?

[nrgbeat]

Luther Vandross

[nrgbeat]

So when Lesley sang "Judy's Turn To Cry". Judy was really crying because Lesley wouldn't be her bitch??????

[discorecordplayer]

I own a very very gay Boys Town Gang record that is actually quite obscene.

[Marcio**]

I've heard Lou Rawls was. Rod Stewart isn't gay, but he sang a gay song called "The Killing of Georgie, Part 1 & 2" :) .

[markydefad]

As a gay myself, I'm really stunned to hear the suppositions that Lou Rawls and members of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes & The Temptations, etc. are considered "gay."

"Wut chu talkin' bout, Willis?" :roll:

I've heard the Teddy P. rumor...but I have no proof. I always heard it was a tranny thang...like Eddie Murphy.

Is Eddie Kendricks suspect because he sang in a falsetto????:roll:

Oh, and Jermaine Jackson??? wut?

[paul]

Marky, you're gay. Surprise, surprise (in my best Gomer imitation) :lol:

Anyway, I hear ya bro. I thought it was because I was a breeder that I didn't notice that Lou Rawls, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes & The Temptations, and Eddie Kendricks were gay.
Marky, do you know anything else about the Eddie Murphy story? I found this very intriguing when it was discussed a few years ago.
I'm also fascinated by the tranny thing. Why not just go for a man or a woman?

[BrunoRepublic]

Oh, and Jermaine Jackson??? wut?

Perhaps there is confusion between him and Jermaine Stewart, who was gay.

[Videoskooter]

Patrick Juvet has a song, titled "Le Gay Paris".

Could he be outing miss Hilton???? Mmmmmmh, :o

Was he a visionary? :o
