Steven Grossman (musician)

Steven D Grossman (September 1, 1951, in Brooklyn, New York – June 23, 1991, in San Francisco, California) was a singer-songwriter from the early 1970s whose debut (and until 2011 only) album Caravan Tonight (1974) is distinguished as being the first album dealing with openly gay themes and subject matter to be released on a major label (Mercury Records).

"[2] Grossman was heavily influenced by Joni Mitchell[3] and the album is very much in the style of singer-songwriter Cat Stevens, as opposed to the then-current glam Bowiesque fashion of openly gay artists such as Jobriath.

[4][5] Caravan Tonight has yet to be released on CD although a cover version of the title track by model and occasional singer Twiggy has.

Grossman recorded a second album shortly before his death and this was finally released on CD in 2011 entitled Something in the Moonlight.
