291 Tab Hunter (1931- ) “Young Love” 1956

Jazz critic Ted Gioia noted that in 1957, “the closeted gay crooner Tab Hunter was bigger than Jerry Lee Lewis and Fats Domino, ‘but critics and music historians hate sentimental love songs. They’ve constructed a perspective that emphasizes the rise of rock and pushes everything else into the background’” (Klosterman, The New York Times Magazine, 5/29/16).
