Glad to see the blues reference. I think there were others from the 20s etc and I will be surprised if the era of decadence in Germany didn't produce candidates. I think I remember vaguely a UK radio prog a couple of years ago dealing with lesbian songs of the 20s.30s etc. I don't think it was Charlie Gillett or Paul Gambaccini but they would probably remember. I'm almost sure it was on one of the London local FM stations. This ought to be dug into more deeply because it is a socially important thread.

BTW why has no-one mentioned Donovan's "The Gipsy Boy and I"?
