House Of Love
Back To My Roots
Ask somebody to name a drag queen and there's a good chance they will say RuPaul. Ask somebody to name a RuPaul song then they may struggle.
It turns out RuPaul has quite an extensive discography with many singles and albums over the years, but not much of it has troubled the charts.
His Top 40 debut came earlier on in 1993 with "Supermodel (You Better Work)" which made number 39. This double a-side was the follow up. All 3 records were co-written with Jimmy Harry and Larry Tee.
Jimmy Harry would have his biggest chart success as songwriter the following year as composer of "Put Yourself In My Place" by Kylie Minogue. Larry Tee would go on to be a pioneer of the electroclash scene in the 21st century.
It was the end of RuPauls Top 40 career by himself. He did however have a Top 10 duet with Elton John the following year with a re-recording of "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" and in 1998 he would make the Top 40 again in a duet with Martha Wash with a re-recording of "It's Raining Men".
