As with many a night when I made it to the end of the evening on a dance floor, the DJ would send us all off with this Donna Summer classic.
Donna Summer – Last Dance – 1978
Back in this day Fearsome was living in Seattle and was hidden behind a temporarily clean shaven face. This tune was and will always be described simply as fabulous.
Deee-Lite – Groove Is In The Heart – Club MTV – 1990
Taking a twirl across the Dance Floor at The Copa Key West to this tune was an out of body experience. Wow, what a charmed life I’ve lived.
Communards – Never Can Say Goodbye – 1987
Because we Proud!
Cazwell / Peppermint – Blend – 2018
We post this one again ‘cause it’s that Fabulous. Happy Pride Y’all!
Why Pride?
This song pretty much sums up why.
Bronski Beat – Jimmy Sommerville – Smalltown Boy – 1984
We are here, let’s dance!
I was literally brought out of the closet and into a fully gay life with this 12 inch single permanently on the turntable in the first house I shared with my first lover, and a night on a gay club’s dance floor in the early 1980s wasn’t complete with a twirl to this fabulous number.
Festival – Don’t Cry For Me Argentina – 1979
This was always my favorite Erasure tune.
Erasure – Chains of Love – 1988
I was so born this way it ain’t funny. The earliest of my memories was that of desire of affection from men.
Lady Gaga – Born This Way – 2011
What Pride without a circuit party?
Sam Smith – I Feel Love (VJ Zenman Circuit Festival Mix) – 2019
Fearsome can never listen to or watch this one enough. He loves it!
Taylor Swift – You Need To Calm Down – 2019
Sylvester was a trailblazer. Little did he know what would come shortly after we lost him.
Sylvester – Someone Like You – 1986
No memory tied to this tune ‘cause Todrick just dropped it yesterday.
It’s Fabulous!
Todrick – Rainin’ Fellas – 2021
Time to make some new memories.
Way back when he was but a wee beard, Fearsome remembers this tune from one of the very first drag shows he ever attended, if not the first. Carolyn Sue Wilson could tear this one up. Even Ms. Ross herself would have been envious.
Diana Ross – The Boss (Dimitri from Paris Remix) – 1979
It’s Sunday morning and time for a little soccer practice.
Jonny McGovern – Soccer Practice – 2003
It’s Pride month and this little diddy is from way back in the early days when Fearsome was but a wee beard.
Josie Cotton – Johnny Are You Queer – 1981
Orville?
…oh yes he went there and he covered it good!
Orville Peck – Fancy – 8/13/2020
They want you as a new recruit!
In The Navy – Village People – 1979
It has now been just over 50 years since the raid of The Stonewall Inn.
We’ve come a long way.
Now isn’t the time to turn back.
Live, love, hope and vote like your life depends on it. Because? Because your life and freedoms actually do depend on your participation, on your vote.
Happy San Diego Pride Y’all!
Fearsome Beard
