Klaus Nomi sung about being a “Simple Man,” yet he was anything but
RuPaul’s days as a “sex freak” to Hi-NRG daddy Patrick Cowley and contemporary Paul Parker—Klaus Nomi was truly a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma in New York City. And that was only a peek of what audiences got to see of him on stage.To weigh the songs in Nomi’s music catalog as a “hit” or miss would be doing him a disservice. A countertenor, Nomi’s performance and music style was also of the counterculture—mashing up classical, rock and opera with disco while baking theatrics, camp and kitsch into his live shows.
