THE PANSY CRAZE!
Lots of fun pics & info @ Queer Music Heritage
In the late 1920’s and early 1930’s in the nightclubs in the country’s major cities, openly gay performers experienced a surge in popularity, so much so that the phenomenon became known as The Pansy Craze. This show will not only give an overview of the forces of history that enabled, and later, destroyed The Pansy Craze, but also I’ll share with you the rare music of the performers involved. Part 1 will cover the history and the major artists, and Part 2 will provide more by the main players and also music related to that time in our culture.
