Spexxy is the warmest, but still not correct. A hint:

One of the artist's songs played during Billy Ray Valentine's party in Trading Places

No...here are more hints:

The artist was a drag queen and performed at Studio 54.

He's not Ru Paul.

He went by one name, e.g. Madonna, Cher, Yanni.

He died of AIDS in the late '80s.

The name of his song in Trading Places is "Do You Wanna Funk?"

That's a very interesting guess, but no...Divine did not sing "Do You Wanna Funk" nor did he/she die of AIDS.

Should I just give up the name? It seems like I went way too obscure on this one.

Someone will get this one right away, I just know it.

What Washington, DC punk band got its name from a Ramones song?
