Paul Jabara
Paul Jabara was an American singer, songwriter and actor who took over the role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter at The Roxy Theatre when Tim Curry left to film The Rocky Horror Picture Show in October 1974.
Like many early Rocky Horror actors, Jabara had previously appeared in stage versions of Hair and the Jim Sharman production of Jesus Christ Superstar.
Jabara appeared in the film Thank God It’s Friday, and wrote the film's hit song "Last Dance", performed by Donna Summer. He also wrote the Barbra Streisand/Donna Summer duet "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)". A few years later, Jabara co-wrote disco anthem "It’s Raining Men" with Paul Schaffer.
Jabara died on September 29, 1992 at age 44 following a long illness caused by complications from the AIDS virus.
