By Barry Walters
Veteran music critic Barry Walters tells the story of queer music from Stonewall to the turn of the century.
From disco floors to arena rock, Walters shows how LGBTQ artists, industry insiders and fans shaped pop, rock, soul and beyond — Sylvester, David Bowie, Grace Jones, Prince, the Indigo Girls and many more — and decodes the queer messages hidden in earlier songs. Part history, part memoir, it is a love letter to the music and a reminder of what is still left to win.
