Gay musicians Michael Ely And Spider (James) Taylor
Take a few minutes to enjoy a 40th anniversary photographic journey of gay musicians Michael and Spider’s professional career and personal life, set to the song “French Sailors” from their album Iridescent Garden.
Together as a couple for four decades, few still remember the hardships faced by gay couples, especially gay musicians, almost a half century ago.
While many other gay musicians of that era succumbed to addictions, died from aids or disappeared into oblivion, somehow Michael and Spider not only survived, they thrived.
