I love me some Little Richard. I remember vividly from when I was very, very young my mother pointing him out when he was on TV as a "homosexual." She did an impersonation of either him or a stereotypical gay man (I can't really remember which). That's one of my first recollections of queer issues, and it happened because he thrust gender-bending into America's living rooms. What gets lost in just...

Hidden on the outskirts of town is a nether region, a place where mystery resides, a location so obscure and strange that one is tempted to call it the Twilight Zone. The area is tucked away within a seedy section of town best left unexplored. However, cars race by with their excited cinematic travelers, eager to drive through the Gates of Movie Hell. We dig a little deeper into the shadows, ponder...

This first roundup will be restricted to songs that are titled only by a name: no compounds like "Help Me Rhonda." I'll put my selections in chronological order, starting with Chuck Berry, a master of girl name songs, with his 1955 #5 pop, #1 R&B hit, "Maybellene": Chuck had another girl name #18 pop, #9 R&B hit in 1958 with "(Oh) Carol" and again in 1964 with a #23 pop, #7 R&B hit, "Nadine."
