I'll be honest, I only knew of Klaus Nomi for the fashion/drag references and wasn't even aware he was a singer.

But I've just discovered his cover of 'You Don't Own Me' - via a Pitchfork review of one of his reissued albums - and HOLY SHIT :D



What a rendition!
 
His cover of Chubby Checker's The Twist (:D) is deeply fabulous:


As for his original songs, you can't go wrong with a bit of Total Eclipse:
 
I think there's been some stuff happening behind the scenes because I see there's now an official YouTube account that's been adding high quality versions of his videos over the past month or so, and the albums are FINALLY available on streaming now :disco:



 
Having so much fun with these albums tonight, especially Simple Man... he really was ahead of his time.
