Barry Walters – Mighty Real : A History of LGBTQ Music, 1969-2000 – Hardback

The definitive history of LGBTQ music from Stonewall to RuPaul, and its impact on culture and American life

From the underground dancefloors of the 70s to the global charts of the 90s, LGBTQ artists and audiences shaped music’s sound, style, and spirit.

In Mighty Real, veteran journalist Barry Walters chronicles its LGBTQ history from the Velvet Underground to the 21st century’s dawn as he honours the artists who redefined gender, defied tradition, and dared to challenge sexual norms with the help of a record business that wasn’t as straight as commonly believed.
