Prince Rogers Nelson (June 7, 1958 – April 21, 2016)
“Part of Prince’s appeal were his very direct lyrics about sex and desire, as well as flashy costumes, which included items more often worn by his female contemporaries like Madonna: bikini bottoms, crop tops, chaps, and high heels. In the 1980s and early ‘90s, the artist was very comfortable sexualizing his own male image and upending how male artists could look and act. On his 1981 album Controversy, Prince sang, “Am I black or white, am I straight or gay?” — Neal Broverman and Dawn Ennis for The Advocate
