Why Gay Men Love Judy Garland?
By Ramon Johnson, About.com
Gay mag The Advocate refers to gay icon Judy Garland as the "Elvis of homosexuals." Even though Judy Garland (June 10, 1922 – June 22, 1969) had numerous gay friends and a gay father it is believed that her true connection with gay men was rooted in her ability to overcome the inner conflict, instability and loneliness that defined her life even during stardom.

Britain's greatest pop diva, Dusty Springfield was also the finest white soul singer of her era, a performer of remarkable emotional resonance whose body of work spans the decades and their attendant musical transformations with a consistency and purity unmatched by any of her contemporaries.  Ms. Springfield had one of the longest recording careers of any contemporary pop star, beginning in 1961 and ending with her 1995 album, ''A Very Fine Love.''
Ms. Springfield died at the age of 59, on March 2, 1999
Connie Francis Although she'd become one of history's most popular vocalists, Concetta Franconero made her first splash as an accordion player, filling a gap on the NBC Ford Startime variety specials in the mid-Fifties.

But despite a recording contract with MGM, she wasn't having real national success -- that is, until the end of her very last session, when she reluctantly covered a song from 1923, "Who's Sorry Now," at the insistance of her father, who'd become convinced all it needed was a newer, more modern arrangement.
Ms. Francis, an icon to the gay community for her ability to bear tragedy both on record and in life.
