In his new book "Breaking Down the Walls of Heartache: How Music Came Out", music journalist Martin Aston chronicles the largely forgotten history of pop music's gay and lesbian pioneers. Here he gives Dan Damon a brief tour of the twentieth century's most significant queer music moments, starting with a song by 1920s singer Helen Kane. (Photo: book jacket. Credit: Mat Clum)
