History of the World: Bathhouse Culture

Things get steamy as The Blessed Madonna reflects on the importance of the gay bathhouses

Bathhouses have helped to launch the musical careers of electronic music legends such as Frankie Knuckles & Larry Levan and subsequently creating the blueprint for New York鈥檚 disco and house scenes. Bathhouses also acted as early performances from future legends within the wider mainstream music scene - playing host to the likes of Melba Moore, Bette Midler, and Barry Manilow.
