Product Description

God Save Us Nelly Queens An LGBTQ Anthem To Drag Queens Everywhere:
José Julio Sarria (1922-2013), the 1st openly gay candidate for political office in the United States, and leading San Francisco diva drag queen cabaret performer extraordinaire at the Black Cat Bar, (or The best gay bar in America so said poet Allen Ginsberg), would, at the end of each of his/hers (Sarrias) performances, ask the audience to make a circle and join hands and sing God Save Us Nelly Queens (to the then tune of God Save the Queen or now God Save the King). This arrangement for solo voice and piano celebrates Sarrias intention of inclusion and unification with an apt, yet somewhat-over-the-top piano accompaniment, of his anthem. Additional lyrics have been updated to include the many diversities of the community. Also a simplified piano accompaniment is included. Performance time: 1:05+-
