37. Chris Willis

Chris Willis initially began his career as a gospel singer, but received international fame for his collaborations with French music producer David Guetta on tracks such as “Love is Gone” “Getting’ Over” and “Love Don’t Let Me Go.” In the mid-1990’s Willis released his self-titled gospel album and went on tour with Christian singer Twila Paris and comedianMark Lowry. Toward the end of the ‘90s Willis finally made peace with his sexuality and transitioned out of gospel music. While doing publicity in Paris, Willis met Guetta and the two co-wrote and recorded “Just a Little More Love” that same day, which went on to be a smash hit across Europe. Willis has since been featured on five of Guetta’s albums; most recently with the successful single “Gettin’ Over” off Guetta’s Grammy-nominated 2009 release One Love. In Oct 2010 Willis released his solo single “Louder (Put Your Hands Up).”
