This “Cover Girl” has been working it for decades as a singer, songwriter, and pioneer of drag performance. In all his big-haired fabulousness, RuPaul has successfully turned mass audiences on to the drag-queen lifestyle, starting with his 1992 debut single, “Supermodel (You Better Work),” a slick slice of bouncy Eurodance that even made a fan out of Kurt Cobain. Since, he's kept up with dance-pop and house trends, mocking tradition every step of the way—just see his Christmas albums. As RuPaul continues to rule TVs and dance floors worldwide, he's also remained a steadfast champion of fellow LGBTQ artists, like bounce queen Big Freedia.
