BLACK HISTORY MONTH 2023 TRIBUTES, VOLUME 1 Research & Presentation Sponsored by Miko Evans for Meak Productions, Inc.

FRANKIE KNUCKLES

Francis Warren Knuckles, Jr., AKA Frankie Knuckles (January 18, 1955 - March 31, 2014), was a beloved DJ, record producer, and innovative remixer who played an essential role in developing and popularizing house music in the 1980s and 1990s. He made history as the first House Music DJ to win the Grammy Award for Remixer of the Year, Non-Classical in 1997, and he was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame in 2005.

Known as the “Godfather of House Music,” Knuckles was born in the New York City borough of the Bronx. While still a student, Knuckles began working as a DJ, playing soul, disco, and R&B at two of the most important early discos, The Continental Baths and The Gallery, where he worked with his childhood friend and fellow DJ, Larry Levan. He went on to study textile design at the State University of New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology.

In the late 1970s, Knuckles moved from New York City to Chicago, where Robert Williams launched what became known as the Warehouse, a legendary gay club staple. When the club opened in 1977, Knuckles was invited to play regularly, which enabled him to hone his skills and style. The style evolved into a mixture of disco classics, unusual indie-label soul, the occasional rock track, European synth-disco, and all manner of rarities, which would all eventually become blended under Frankie Knuckles’ skillful remixing into house music, deriving its name from a shortened version of the Warehouse.

Knuckles was so popular that the Warehouse from 1977 to 1982 had to cancel its members-only policy and began welcoming a straighter and whiter audience. Knuckles continued at the Warehouse until November of 1982 when he started his own club in Chicago, The Power Plant. Knuckles’ sets typically featured his extended edits of a wide selection of tracks from disco to post-punk, R&B to synth-heavy Eurodisco. What he created every night laid the groundwork for electronic dance music and culture and mapped its future.

TS MADISON s Madison Hinton (born October 22, 1977), also known as Maddie, is an American reality television personality, actress, and LGBT activist. With the reality show The Ts Madison Experience, she became the first black trans woman to star in, and executive produce her own reality series. She has appeared in films such as Zola and Bros. She has been a member of the regular judging panel on RuPaul’s Drag Race since the show’s fifteenth season, following several previous appearances as a guest judge.

Madison rose to fame in 2013 after going viral following the release of a Vine clip titled “New Weave 22 Inches”. The video features her exposing her nude body. Madison was starring in adult films and running a successful production company during this time. On the LGBTQ&A podcast, Madison said she started doing sex work after being fired from multiple jobs for being trans. “I was hell-bent on me not being broke anymore in life. Me not having to worry about where I’m going to live, how I’m going to pay my bills because I came from that time of me having to really worry. And this was a place of security for me.”

After becoming a viral sensation, Madison signed a recording and media contract with Pink Money Records in 2014 and released her first single “Feeling My Fish” shortly after. In 2016, Madison released her debut album, The New Supreme,[6] and appeared with Ellis Miah and RuPaul on the song “Drop.” In 2021, she collaborated with Todrick Hall on the song “DICK THIS BIG.” With World of Wonder, she starred in two web series, Wait a Minute and Lemme Pick You Up. In 2015, she released her memoir, A Light Through the Shade: An Autobiography of a Queen.

Madison has had roles in the movie Zola, and the upcoming romantic comedy, The Perfect Find, on Netflix. Janicza Bravo, the director of Zola, told The New York Times that she discovered Madison through her viral Vine video, watching it “maybe 20 times in a row...I became kind of obsessed with her.”

Madison appeared in Bros, “the first gay romantic comedy from a major studio.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie has a “historic all-LGBTQ principal cast.”

No man in your life? No problem! With so many shows and series to binge on, there are plenty of hunky eye candy to feast your eyes on. Luckily, Mr. Man – the most extensive online library of online celeb nudity – has compiled a list of 2022’s best nude scenes!

Hollywood took viewers to some surprisingly new-d places this year, venturing deep into the explicit in some of the year’s top pictures. Among the most talked about was HBO’s The White Lotus. Its second season featured multiple sex scenes with British newcomer Leo Woodall, including a steamy role in the hay with his character’s gal pal Haley Lu Richardson. However, the scene that rattled the country for weeks was the one between Woodall and the man who plays his uncle in the series, Tom Hollander. It appears at #8 on the year’s Top Ten. Theo James starred in White Lotus, and he, too, had memorable nude scenes in the series, but it is his fullfrontal scenes in The Time Traveler’s Wife that lands James on Mr. Man’s Top Ten Nude list. Playing a time traveling Chicago librarian who can only time travel while naked, James strips down an incredible eighteen times throughout the season, including an unforgettable head over heels tumble down a staircase in the buff. It is another scene in the same episode, where James crashes on the floor and exposes every inch of his chiseled body, that is the third top nude scene of the year.

HBO’s breakout hit Euphoria also managed to set the Twitterverse ablaze with multiple nude scenes. The one that makes the list features Elias Kacavas, playing a young, closeted Cal, who comes face to face with his best friendturned gay lover Henry Eikenberry in the boys’ locker room. Their gay romance is cut tragically short, but not before viewers are treated to a stunning full frontal shot of Eikenberry.

Winner of the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for Drama

From the creator of P-Valley comes a fierce new comedy about the risks and rewards of celebrating who you are.

Written & Directed by KATORI HALL

Producer Ryan Murphy appears on the year’s Top Ten for a second year in a row. He made last year’s list with Halston, his Netflix series about the rise and fall of the iconic couture designer. It depicted Ewan McGregor and Sullivan Jones engaging in much eye-popping intimacy. This year, Murphy enters the list at #5 with Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, starring Evan Peters as Jeffrey Dahmer. It includes a steamy scene with Dahmer getting arrested and being subjected to a very revealing strip search. Fans of Evan Peters’ enjoyed seeing another side of him – his back side.

“Hollywood is boldly going where it has never gone before when it comes to male nudity and sex, and we are here for it,” says Jack Davis of Mr. Man, the world’s leading online library of every male nude scene in the history of film and television. “Many of the scenes we saw play out on screen this year simply would not have happened in previous years.”

That includes the top scene of the year that stars one of the biggest pop singers in the world right now, Harry Styles. Styles plays a closeted policeman who strikes up a romance with a gay museum curator (David Dawson) in the 1950s. Their passionate affair cumulates in a nearly pornographic gay sex scene that depicts both men nude while moaning and groaning with excitement.

“When a huge pop music star like Harry Styles is comfortable starring in a hardcore gay sex scene, that shows real progress in the world,” Mr. Davis continues. “We’re excited to see where Hollywood takes us next!”

Mr. Man’s Top 10 Nude Scenes of the year were chosen

by Mr. Man’s editorial, production and marketing teams.

All ten scenes are viewable in their entirety at MrMan.com.

Dear

Q

DAVID

I am 25 years old, and I quite honestly have a lot of anxiety when it comes to dating. With all the apps and the rampant hook-up culture in the gay community, it is so difficult to find out if a guy is just trying to hook up or if he wants to date and get to know you. Plus, many couples are opening up their relationship, which makes it even harder to figure out what they are into or not. I really want a deeper connection with someone, but I am both outraged and a nervous wreck at the same time–are there really no genuine guys left out there anymore? How do I break this negative way of thinking? And how do I ultimately find love?

A

No matter what, it is always difficult to put yourself out there. The first step for you (and for soooo many others in the dating pool) is to admit that you are indeed anxious about dating! Anxiety is normal and should honestly be expected, but the moment you let go of your judgment of having anxiety, you will also relax a little bit more–maybe in yourself or perhaps even on a date. Another thing you can assess is if the hook-up and dating apps are actually hurting or helping you. If you’ve had it with biased preferences and rudeness from strangers, then take a break–apps are not the only way to meet guys! If you do feel the need for an app in your life, stay clear of the sex apps and go for one catered more towards dating. Create a profile that is honest and realistic, which is the best basis for an online conversation either way.

Regardless of how you meet someone, start by communicating and get to know the person even before you meet up in person for a date. A good indicator is how good a communicator the other person is and how well, for instance, texts are responded to. Down the line, once the connection has been made, it is okay for you to voice your concerns and even fears. You don’t want to be needy but being open and honest about feelings and expectations will also create the basis for a deeper connection. Yes, dating can be time-consuming and even anxiety-inducing but if you put in the effort, it will eventually pay off.
