Divine

Divine (Harris Glenn Milstead) was an actor, singer, and drag queen who originally appeared in movies such as Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Polyester, and Hairspray plus various avant-garde performances alongside San Fransisco drag collective, The Cockettes.

In the early 1980s, Divine recorded several Hi-NRG singles including, amongst others, Native Love, Shoot Your Shot, and Love Reaction produced by Bobby Orlando before gaining global success courtesy of the Barry Evangeli and Stock, Aitken & Waterman produced singles, You Think You’re A Man and I’m So Beautiful.

In 1984, the production duo of Danny Weiss (The Players Association) and Bobby Orlando aimed for the hip hop/electro market with Divine Madness. Rather than a stand-alone release, the track featured vocal samples from Divine’s previous releases and was a favourite for the b-boys at the time.

Sadly, Divine passed away in 1988, just before an appearance on the US sitcom, Married With Children.
