In this blog I love to honor songs of our GLBT history, and in this case the song itself is doing the honoring, and I think it does is exquisitely. The song “History Remembers” is the title track from a 1997 album by John Whitley-Gibson and Peter Saxe. John expertly handles the vocals and Peter…

The song “Glory Glory,” recorded by Leah Zicari in 1990, was one of our early anthems, and has been used in the past as the opening theme songs for several GLBT radio shows. Finding the song, even just to listen to, at this point would be quite difficult, as it was only released on a…

  Fans of oldies but goodies radio will likely remember the huge #1 hit Jimmy Dean had with “Big Bad John,” in 1961. Such a song was ripe for parody and those that did went directly for the opposite of the big super-butch John. They came up, mostly in the 1960’s and early 1970’s, with…

Sometimes it takes just one song to make you a fan. And I am just nuts over Chris Salvatore’s song “Broke Another Heart.” I’ve already played it several times on OutRadio. It’s from his 2010 EP “Dirty Love,” though the title track may have gotten more attention. Another stand out track from that EP, at…

Okay, how many of you knew there was a secret gay language in England in the 50s and 60s. Raise your hands. Hmm, not too many. It was a slang language called polari, sometimes polare. In those days gay men used it as a form of protection and secrecy. Outsiders would not be able to…

Eli Lieb garnered over a million Youtube hits on his series of covers of songs by Adele, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and others, and that became an EP, now available on iTunes. But I noticed him for his first video from his debut album, “Place of Paradise.” Yes, he’s damn good looking, but damn, this…

In 2008 Canadian Anna Gutmanis released an anthem. Now, that’s a pretty bold statement, but it’s been over three years and it’s still riding high on the Outvoice charts. The song is “I Am Who I Am,” and the lyrics proclaim just what you think they do. I’ve played it a number of times on…

These are not new videos, nor are they the usual GLBT artist fare I generally mention in this blog. But both of them made an impact on me and certainly merit a revisit. In 2005 a video of a then-eleven year old Dutch boy, Terence Uphoff, singing on a Netherlands television show Kinderen voor Kinderen…

I had heard the name Spencer Day a while ago, but didn’t really explore his music until I put together my six-hour Jazz Music Specialfor my QMH show. And he was one of those artists I much needed to explore further. I now have his 2004 debut album, “Introducing Spencer Day,” his EP from 2005,…

Swiss jazz artist Gallavin closed my January 6-hour QMH Jazz Music Special, and in it I could not fail to brag about the terrific video for the title track of his CD “Mad About the Boy.” Well, now he has another terrific video, the second from that album, for “My Baby Just Cares For Me.”…
