Divine is one of the biggest cult stars of the 80s. The transvestite was discovered by cult director John Waters, and later the famous producer Bobby O made Divine a hit celebrity with masterful disco tunes like Native Love (Step By Step), Shoot Your Shot and Love Reaction (which is actually a blueprint New Order’s Blue Monday).
Later Divine worked with the producer trio Stock Aitken Waterman, which resulted in hits such as You Think You're a Man or Walk Like A Man, until the artist died in 1988. All the hits of Divine are now compiled on one CD: Shoot Your Shot - The Divine Anthology and is released by Cherry Red Records.

Divine is ongetwijfeld één van de grootste cultsterren uit de jaren 80. Deze travestiet werd opgemerkt door cultregisseur John Waters, en het was de befaamde producer Bobby O die van deze travestiet een beroemdheid maakte.
De muziek van Divine bevindt zich tussen heerlijke kitsch en meesterlijke disco. De eerste singles van Divine zijn zonder twijfel de beste: Native Love (Step By Step), Shoot Your Shot en Love Reaction (wat eigenlijk een blauwdruk New Orders Blue Monday is).
Nadien werd Divine opgevist door het producerstrio Stock, Aitken & Waterman, wat resulteerde in hits zoals You Think You’re a Man of Walk Like A Man, tot Divine overleed in 1988.
Alle hits van Divine zijn nu verzameld op één cd: Shoot Your Shot – The Divine Anthology en uitgebracht door Cherry Red Records.
