Johnny Rodriguez[edit]

I removed the statement in the lead that the song had "a re-recording in 1995 by country singer Johnny Rodriguez". While Billboard did indicate that there was a recording of the song in 1995 by someone named Johnny Rodriguez, the magazine referred to him as "newcomer Johnny Rodriguez" which would not make sense in referring to the country singer who had been a major-label artist for 20+ years. In addition, the recording is in a disco style and gives no indication of any country music background. And the country singer's personal life as described in his Wikipedia article indicates that he has been married to four different women, which makes it unlikely that he would record a gay anthem (granted, not impossible). If any information can be found about the success of the "other" Rodriguez's recording of this song, the information can be re-added to the article albeit not necessarily in the lead. But for now, an apparently non-charting recording by an apparently non-notable artist should probably not be included in the article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:20, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
