Jimmy Sommerville was a member of two bands - Bronski Beat and The Communards - who were known for having an energetic lead vocalist who was at least supportive of the LGBTQ+ community and had a hell of a faslsetto.
So, when he went solo, it's no surprise he turned Sylvester's enduring classic into a big hit song around the world in his own right.
Sommerville, who is gay, recorded that pride anthem in the 1980s - and it fit in with the enduring theme of LGBTQ+ activism he carried throughout all his musical projects.
This recording is from 2019 and it's like it was recorded the same day. Jimmy is a fantastic talent. Also, horns.
