The Village People is an American disco group formed in 1977, known for their on-stage costumes depicting American cultural stereotypes as well as their catchy tunes and suggestive lyrics. The band's lineup has changed over the years, but it originally included lead singer Victor Willis and performers Felipe Rose, Alex Briley, David Hodo, Glenn Hughes, and Randy Jones. They achieved significant popularity in the late 1970s with hits such as "Y.M.C.A.," "Macho Man," and "In the Navy." Their music, a blend of disco, R&B, and pop, has had a lasting influence on the dance music genre.
