THE VILLAGE
PEOPLE
One of the Most Famous Disco era
Groups of ALL TIME!
The Village People from New York City
USA, were a concept before they were a group. The brainchild of French record
producer Jacques (d. 15 November 1991, Paris, France), the troupe was assembled
in 1977, who had been enjoying great success on the disco charts with theRitchie Family, intended to create a camp rock 'n' roll/dance act that
would flaunt homosexual stereotypes yet appeal to gays. Before even constructing
his dream group, secured a recording contract with Casablanca Records, then
riding high with a string of smash disco hits byDonna Summer.
Morali's first recruit was Felipe Rose, a go-go dancer who was dressed in
an American Indian costume when spotted by the entrepreneur and business partner
Henri Belolo then hired songwriters Phil Hurtt and
Peter to compose songs hinting at gay themes before filling out the group with
Alexander (b. Harlem, New York City, New York, USA), Randy Jones (b. 13
September 1952), David Hodo (b. San Andreas, California, USA), Glenn Hughes (b.
18 July 1950, New York City, New York, USA, d. 4 March 2001, USA) and lead
singer Victor Willis.
Each member of the group was outfitted to cash in
on the homosexual "macho" stereotyping; in addition to the American Indian
(Rose) there was a cowboy (Jones), a policeman (Willis), a hard-hat construction
worker (Hodo), a biker (Hughes) and a G.I.. The group
first charted in the UK with
the Top 50 single, San Francisco (You've Got Me)" in 1977, but their first major
US hit was the Top 30 "Macho Man" in 1978, followed by two international hits,
"Y.M.C.A." UK number 1/US number 2) and "In The Navy UK number 2/US number
3). Although homosexuals did embrace the group at first, they tired of it
as the mainstream audience picked up on the Village People. In the
UK their success continued with the
Top 20 singles, "Go West" (1979) and "Can't Stop The Music" (1980). The latter
was the theme song to an ill-timed film excursion. Willis had quit the group two
days before filming began and was replaced by Ray Simpson (b. the Bronx,
New York City, New York, USA). With anti-disco fever prevalent
in the USA, the failure of the critically
panned movie virtually killed off the group's chart
career.
Attempts to resurface with new personnel (Miles
Jaye and Jeff Olson replacing Simpson and Jones) and
new styles (including a stint as Spandau Ballet did not aid their sagging
fortunes. They briefly graced the charts in 1985 with the lewd "Sex Over The
Phone". was subsequently signed to Teddy Pendergrass Top Priority label as a
solo artist, before achieving success with Island Records on the US R&B
singles chart in the late 80s. Simpson, Rose, Hodo, Hughes, Briley and Olson re-formed the group in the late 80s,
establishing Sixuvus Ltd. to control their own
interests and continuing to earn a tidy living on the live circuit. They also
enjoyed a surprise hit in Australia in 1990 with the single
"Living In The Wildlife". Their former Morali died of
an AIDS-related illness in 1991. In 1995, an ill Hughes dropped out of
performing, but was present to help the group celebrate their 20th anniversary
two years later. He was replaced by Eric Anzalone (b.
Dayton, Ohio, USA), and died of lung cancer in
March 2001.
