Diva house or handbag house is an anthemic sub-genre of house music that became most popular in gay clubs during the second half of the 1980s. It is known for booming unisex vocals sometimes sampled from other recordings. Such samples come from 1970s soul disco gospel recordings and even show tunes sung by people including Bette Midler Natasha Richardson Judy Garland Liza Minnelli and other gay icons.
