Klaus Nomi is peerless. Bringing a classically-trained operatic voice to NYC’s burgeoning new wave scene in the late 1970s, the German-born vocalist and synthesizer artist acts as an inspiration to many today, most notably Antony and the Johnsons. See Andrew Horn’s wonderful documentary The Nomi Song for a more in-depth look into his life & career.
