How many musicians from the 50’s or earlier were queer that we you know of?

The first that comes to mind for me is Sister Rosetta Tharpe, one of the progenitors of rock music. She played gospel music with an electric guitar, and was an excellent artist. There is also a great deal of evidence that she was lesbian, or at least bisexual.

Any others out there? Any genre is great.
