Part cagy concept, part overstated camp represent, the Village People were world-wide sensations during disco's flower and prevent revitalising like the capital of Arizona. Producer Jacques Morali in 1977 assembled a group intentional to attract merry audiences spell parodying (some claimed exploiting) that same constituency's stereotypes. Songwriters Phil Hurtt and Peter Whitehead were tabbed to compose songs with gay underpinnings, and roles and costumes were cautiously selected; among them were a cowboy, biker, soldier, police officer, and twist worker nail with tough hat. The group clicked start in England with the individual "San Francisco (You Got Me)" in 1977, then reaped stateside honors with "Macho Man" in 1978. "Y.M.C.A." and "In the Navy" were planetary smashes, both peaking at number deuce on the crop up charts. After iI more than successful singles, "Go West" and "Can't Stop the Music," the group's fortunes plummeted, in big piece due to their involution in the ill-fated photographic film besides coroneted Can't Stop the Music.
