1958 Jools Holland, British musician & TV presenter

1944 Klaus Nomi, German singer d 1983

His very small, but very devoted following say he didn't die, but in fact, melted back into his native universe. Rush Limbaugh used this Leslie Gore cover song as his 'Gay News Update" theme for many years.

Klaus Nomi is so deliciously avant-garde.
