The BAFTA and Academy Award-winning screenplay, "a drama of surpassing beauty" (Wall Street Journal)

From Sia to Elton John, from Billie Holiday to David Bowie, LGBT musicians have changed the course of modern music. But before their music--and the messages behind it--gained understanding and a place in the mainstream, how did the queer musicians of yesteryear fight to build foundations for those who would follow them? This is the first book to cover the breadth of history of recorded music by and for the LGBT community.
