Although I couldn't have cared less about his singing career (but, he could sing), I was rather smitten by Shaun Cassidy.

Also his brother, but I was more into blondes back then.

Also Leif Garrett. I loved watching him in things. But, again, did not care for his music.

(Growing up gay in the south was such a bitch at times, but so was I... at times... LOL!)
