 Village People were a novelty disco band of the late 1970s. The group were as well known for their outrageous on-stage costumes (the members dressing up as a police officer, an American Indian chief, a construction worker, a soldier, a leatherman (biker) and a cowboy) as for their catchy tunes and suggestive lyrics. The band was assembled in 1977 and managed by two French musicians, Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo, specifically to showcase and perform their disco music creations. Much like Frank Farian’s Boney M. or Spice Girls, the group was manufactured. Despite the French song writers, the songs were all in English.
