Michael Cohen (musician)
Michael Cohen (January 24, 1951 – November 28, 1997) was an American singer-songwriter from New York City.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=This Day in Gay History - November 28 )〕 He released three albums in the 1970s which were among the first to deal with explicitly gay themes. Cohen was licensed as a cab driver in New York City in 1972.〔Liner notes to ''What Did You Expect...? Songs about the Experience of Being Gay'' (New York: Folkways Records FS 8582, LP, 1973), http://media.smithsonianfolkways.org/liner_notes/folkways/FW08582.pdf, accessed January 2014〕
==Work and Influences==
Cohen self-released his first album, eponymously titled ''Mike Cohen'', in 1972. This was followed by two albums on Folkways Records, "What Did You Expect?" (Folkways Records FS 8582, 1973) and "Some of Us Had to Live" (Folkways Records FS 8582, 1976).〔What Did You Expect...? Songs about the Experience of Being Gay.

New York, New York: Folkways Records (originally FS 8583, LP released 1976) http://www.folkways.si.edu/michael-cohen/some-of-us-had-to-live/american-folk-struggle-protest/music/album/smithsonian〕 The latter two are available from Smithsonian Folkways. Cohen was influenced by James Taylor and Leonard Cohen and his music is very much in the folk rock style. "The Last Angry Young Man", which opens ''What did You Expect?'', deals with the misconceptions around homosexuality of the older generation while "Gone", from the same album, deals sensitively with the death of a gay friend. ''Frieze Magazine'' describes Cohen's "Bitterfeast" from the same album as a "raw and chokingly emotional" ballad based on a poem by Leonard Cohen. After releasing a third album on a small label, Cohen "dropped off the radar" until his death in 1997.〔
