Even Michael Jackson co-stars with Village People in LA’s Palladium. Madonna and Joan Rivers are among artists who have appeared as opening acts for Village People in Las Vegas, Madison Square Garden, Japan’s Budokan, Sidney’s Hordern Pavilion and Hollywood’s Greek Theatre. Selling more than 65 million recordings (1987 Dance Music Report), Village People are an instant phenomenom with hits San Francisco/In Hollywood, Macho Man, YMCA, In the Navy, Go West and more. With partner Henri Belolo, Morali held auditions for 3 more performers and Village People was formed. Soon after, Morali saw Victor Willis in Broadway’s The Wiz and Victor brought along Alex Briley to play a G.I. Felipe’s special visual attraction brought the idea to mind to put together a group of Village icons from various American social groups. Producer/Composer Jacques Morali found Felipe dancing in his Indian costume in a crowd in NY’s Greenwich Village. "We will never be the same" - Village People While he has not performed with Village People since 1996, he has remained a part of the group behind Village People dedicate this site to their friend and the original Leatherman Glenn Hughes who passed away this year. Check out their CONCERT dates, join their FAN CLUB, buy their MUSIC, go SHOPPING for fun stuff. Village People are now in their 23rd year bumping and grinding and singing to audiences around the world. Macho Man, or Can't Stop The Music with their heavy beat are such uppers! My toes just start tapping and I just have to smile and get up to dance!Ĭirca 2001 WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL HOME OF THE FACES OF DISCO I also selected some Village People music on YouTube to lift my spirits. Once I had chilled out playing numerous pokie games and winning more than a few fivers I called the moving company to reschedule. I, like many Aussies, have been spending a lot of time playing pokies and other casino games online while in lockdown. They are a hidden gem as far as I am concerned with a page dedicated to friendly Aussie player casinos. I threw up my hands in dspair and turned on my computer to check out the pokie promos that week at Online Casino Party, a casino affiliate website. Just as we were finalizing my move this past summer Australia's Queensland state extended a COVID-19 lockdown in Brisbane, while soldiers began patrolling Sydney to enforce stay-at-home rules as Australia struggles to stop the highly contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus spreading. Over the past 2 years Melbourne has experienced numerous lockdowns. It's been rough planning the move because of the Covid pandemic. Yelp reviews and the representative I spoke to cemented the deal. I knew they were the right moving company for me when I found them on the internet, since the music station I was listening to on the radio started playing Y.M.C.A.! Seriously! But that wasn't the real reason I selected them as my moving company. One of their people has been assisting me through the budgeting, planning, preparation, packing, and entire relocation process. As a full-service moving company, they provide packing, unpacking, moving, and storage (which obviously I won't need). It is a family owned and whose employees include fifth-generation family members. After much searching I found a local residential mover who seemed perfect for my needs. My daughter wanted me to move closer to her in Brisbane so now I am in the midst of planning a move. I am now retired and am living in Melbourne, Australia. The song reached Number 2 on the US charts in early 1979 and you would hear it everywhere. I had been out of college for almost ten years and living in NYC at the time of its release. and remember when you first heard it, it probably means you are of the Baby Boomer generation. Straight, gay, it doesn't really matter, if you can hum the music to Y.M.C.A. The group quickly became popular and moved into the mainstream, scoring several disco and dance hits internationally, including the hit singles "Macho Man", "In the Navy", "Go West" and their biggest hit, "Y.M.C.A.".ĭuring the end of the disco music themed era, the group adapted to a more electronic and soulful music style with their later releases. Its members were a symbolic group of fantasy stereotypes in attire often worn by gay men of Greenwich Village. The group's name refers to New York City's Greenwich Village, at the time known for its large gay population. The group was originally conceived by Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo to target disco's gay audience. Village People is an American disco group well-known for their on-stage costumes, catchy tunes and suggestive lyrics.
