• Neneh Cherry
  A mother and rap singer who has talked openly and positively about her bisexuality in interview.
• Ani DiFranco
  Ani DiFranco has built a rabid cult following of old folkies and young punks, men and women, gays and straights by recording fiercely personal music on her own label.
• Judy Garland
  Although for many people she will always be the naïve 17-year-old explorer named Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, Garland maintained a substantial second career outside the movies as a singer.
• Janis Joplin
  Joplin exploded all over the crowd at the historic 1967 Monterey Pop Festival; in a single show she established her reputation.

• Traci Lords
• Courtney Love

• Jennifer Moore, is Single Bass Gig
  Acclaimed bisexual solo singer / songwriter / electric bass guitarist.
• Pet Shop Boys
  Euro-disco and pop, they found a successful formula for their music--sardonic lyrics with hypnotic synthesizer melodies and infectious beats.

  As much as anyone Ma Rainey was responsible for popularizing the blues when she made the music a part of her traveling tent shows in the early 1900s.
• Lou Reed, of Velvet Underground
  Now married to Sylvia, Lou had to endure 'shock therapy' as a youth, when his parents tried to 'remove' his homosexual urges. Lou has brought us with his solo work and with the Velvet Underground, songs celebrating alternative sexualities such as 'Walk on the Wild Side' and 'Venus In Furs.'
