Village People is one of the most iconic music groups in the world.
Their music has become part of the international songbook. The group’s hits are featured in dozens of major motion-pictures, on Broadway, in commercials and in “Village People Party” slot machines.
Of course, Y.M.C.A (along with its dance) is played at almost every parties and sporting event in the universe.
It began in 1977 when producer Jacques Morali and his partner Henri Belolo, known collectively as Can’t Stop Productions, were recording a new album for their hit group the The Ritchie Family, and needed background singers. Horace Ott, suggested Victor Willis, a singer he was recording who also was performing in the Broadway musical The Wiz.
After Willis completed background on the album, Morali approached him about another musical project he and Belolo were planning which turned out to be Village People.
“I had a dream that you sang lead vocals on an album I produced, and it went very, very big,” Morali told Willis. “I have four tracks. I can’t pay you much right now but if you agree, I’ll make you a star.” Willis agreed and the rest is history.
With hits like San Francisco (You've Got Me), In Hollywood (Everybody is a Star) Macho Man Macho Man In the Navy - Original Version 1979 and Go West - Original Version 1979 the group has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and continues to break records to this day.
