Rupert Holmes is still active and healthy (and presumably heterosexual). The Partners in Crime album was a monster hit back in 1979-1980 and still yields enough royalties for him to be kicking back on some Caribbean beach with all the Pina Coladas he can possibly consume.

Personally I prefer margaritas on the beach and I mix them up at home with 100% agave tequila, real lime juice and Cointreau. I then put them in empty Gatorade bottles so that the pesky police patrolling the beaches in their silly buggies never hassle me.

But I digress...

After his big success in 1980, Holmes went on to become a semi-successful playright, notably adapting the bland John Grisham novel "A Time to Kill" to the stage to mostly favorable reviews. He did other music besides the "Partners In Crime" album but they pretty much amounted to nothing.

Still, it is better to be a star for a short period of time than to never have been a star at all. Bill Danoff of the Starland Vocal Band can tell you something about that. Presumably, he is a heterosexual as well.

Thanks for the info on Rupert Holmes. I often wonder about one hit wonders, or singers who are big for a while but then seem to disappear.
