Village People

Village People is one of the most iconic music groups in the world. For the group’s 40th anniversary, lead singer and songwriter Victor Willis (Cop/Admiral) returned and is back at the helm.  Backed by a live band (no pre-recorded tracks!), Village People continues to thrill concert-goers around the world — as they did back in the day.

Village People is: Victor Willis (Cop/Admiral), Angel Morales (Native American), James Kwong (Construction Worker), Chad Freeman (Cowboy), Sonny Earl (G.I.), and James J.J. Lippold (Leatherman)

For 40 years, the music of Village People has been putting smiles on the faces of fans all around the world.  Their hits have become part of the international songbook – and heard in commercials from Pepsi to Wonderful Pistachios.  In fact, the iconic “YMCA” (along with its dance) is featured at almost every party, wedding, bar mitzvah, and sporting event.

Village People become an international phenomenon with the release of their second album, Macho Man. Following the release of their third album, Cruisin, they embarked on a worldwide tour.  Cher, Madonna and Joan Rivers are among artists who appeared on the bill with Village People everywhere from Las Vegas to Madison Square Garden to Hollywood’s Greek Theatre.  Even Michael Jackson shared billing with the group.

With hits like “San Francisco/In Hollywood”, “Macho Man”, “YMCA”, “In the Navy” and “Go West”, the group sold more than 100 million records worldwide and earned many awards including the American Music Award-Favorite Musical Group 1979.  Village People was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone.  Television appearances included a “Bob Hope Special”, “20/20”, “American Bandstand”, “Solid Gold”, “Soul Train”, “Midnight Special”, and “Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert”.

Village People hits are featured in dozens of major motion pictures, including Wayne’s World II, Adams Family Values, The Nutty Professor, and Despicable Me 2.  The Broadway hit Priscilla: Queen of the Desert features the Village People tune “Go West”.  The songs are also heard in casinos around the world in “Village People Party” slot machines.  In September 2008, the group received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
