Klaus Nomi - Digipak - CD

The first full length album from the bizarre German singer who moved to New York city seeking his fame and fortune. David Bowie had caught his nightclub act and offered Nomi a job as a backup singer, an opportunity which changed his life. Bowie's appearance on "Saturday Night Live" (in a skirt, no less) with Nomi is one of the more memorable performances of the era. Nomi's own music was rock n roll fused with opera and everything in between... and that's a lot of spectrum! He would even sing songs in his own language! His versions of Lou Christie's "Lightning Strikes" and Chubby Checker's "The Twist" are irresistible and his own "Total Eclipse" takes "Bohemian Rhapsody" to further heights! This disc will simply take your breath away!
