Connie McLean recorded something of a landmark blues song in 1936, titled "Sissy Man Blues," which had the lines "Lord, if you can''t bring me no woman, bring me a sissy man." Blues songs had always been filled with sexual themes, but McLean''s was probably the first "out of the closet" blues song.
