Meet the 2 men helping to power RuPaul's astronomical success for almost 40 years
Anyone who's watched"RuPaul's Drag Race" will have seen the names Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato flash on-screen in the opening credits.
"Everyone can relate to the feeling of being an outsider. Drag is ultimately a universally relatable thing," Bailey said of the popularity of"Drag Race" and the stars it has helped create. They recorded two albums featuring guest stars like Lady Miss Kier, the singer for Deee-Lite, the band behind the infectious '90s classic"
Bailey and Barbato also directed the 2000 documentary"The Eyes of Tammy Faye," which told the story of the rise and fall of the televangelist couple Tammy Faye and Jim Bakker, with RuPaul narrating. "Ru speaks TV fluently and has a very specific point of view that's a combination of comedy and wit and heart and sass and spirituality," Barbato said."So even though those early seasons were a bit raw and rough around the edges, the format really hasn't changed."
