Documentary on Archbishop Carl Bean to Premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival
I am proud to serve as a contributing producer to this documentary on the life of Archbishop Carl Bean. In 1977, Archbishop Carl Bean made history by recording his disco hit “I Was Born this Way,” celebrated as the world’s first gay anthem, and setting the stage for a revolution in queer music. All-star interviews with Lady Gaga, Questlove, Billy Porter, and Dionne Warwick paint a portrait of a larger-than-life figure who left an indelible mark on the genre and paved the way for future generations of LGBTQ+ artists to find their voice in mainstream music.

“What Is This I Got? Holy Ghost” proves that although it has new personnel, the sound of the New C Lord Cs is consistent with its roots in traditional gospel quartet going back to 1954.
