Jose Roberto

Artist: José Roberto
LP: José Roberto
Song: "Cambios"
[ listen ]

José Roberto would appear to be a perfectly normal (for the mid-'80s anyway) Mexican crooner/heartthrob... until you take a closer look:

as probably the first male singer ever to sport both extremely hairy arms and a diamond-flower pinky ring on the cover of one of his albums, José Roberto, we learn, was actually a trail-blazing activist fighting for gay rights and the deconstruction of gender stereotypes throughout the civilized world.
