The thing about The Village People, is that the band actually made music videos.

I remember Gabe!❤️

Definitely deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.

America, if you do not consider this man a national treasure there is something wrong with you. 🤠

What a great interview... I remember the Lovin' Spoonful , and how they were so good in the mid to late '60s... So many epic songs they made... My personal favorite is 'Full Measure' , and there were so many more awesome songs they made... What a pleasure it is to see this interview from 2009.... Their music is absolutely timeless, and it magically brings back some very happy times during those years...

Definitely clouding the truth to say Zal “left the band”.

A great humanitarian being a rare celebrity

Great interview of Steve Boone. The interviewer is annoying when he doesn't let Steve finish his sentences.

Great band. Original members Steve, John, Joe and Zal. That is the only members of 'The Lovin SpoonfuI' i care to hear.

That's wonderful!

No dull moment watching Randy Jones really, whether he is just talking like in this interview or performing. He is really good. God bless you with longer and happier life Randy☺️💞🙏

Happy to see Randy is still alive, and very much looking great & lively as ever. He seems to be a natural. Love watching him perform in their videos coz not only did he sing and dance well but he always put a big smile whenever he performs. Long live Randy, I hope you are still here with us its already January 25,2022 today. Would be so great to have his book "Macho Man."

Cool dude

Full Measure, 6 O'Clock, Mask of Contentment......my LS favorites

I thought Fritz Richmond came up with the name "Lovin' Spoonful" and the goofy glasses too...

Too bad about the obnoxius interterviewer

We don't talk about Jerry anymore.

Surprised how there is not even a, single comment here!!!!

WHY IS THE OTHER GUY TALKING .

I was into the Village People when I was three. I'm 45. Randy was my favourite and still is. I always dressed up as a cowboy (not a cowgirl as most people mistakenly thought I would want to dress up as) when I did dress ups - I wanted to be him. They were huge in Australia.

LOVE THE VILLAGE PEOPLE .Rest in peace Glenn Hughes

The first group I ever saw in concert. About '67 at a college in NJ.

Nossa! Ele está muito bem, aparência ótima.

in the 60's and 70's it was all about drugs, cocain and stuff, thank goodness all anyone does in the 2020's is orange juice and 7-up.

É O TIRINGA BRANCO AI

God Bless You Randy, You are a Beautiful Soul🙏

Randy is a big gay

RANDY NEVER GAVE "VICTOR WILLIS" HIS DUE CREDIT HERE. @ 0:28 SECS. "VICTOR WILLIS", WROTE THE HITS. NUFF SAID!

FELIPE ROSE WAS THE FIRST TO BE DISCOVERED BY JACQUE MORALI, IN A WEST VILLAGE BAR. FELIPE ROSE IS TRULY THE ONLY FOUNDING MEMBER, BEFORE THE REST OF THE GUYS WERE BROUGHT IN. LOOK AT THE ALBUM COVER OF THE FIRST RECORD AND YOU CAN SEE THAT FOR YOURSELF.

Such a cool guy Steve. I grew up listening to you guys back in the 60’s. Thanks for your music 🎵

They fired Zal.

Hahaha this was the 70's drug taking was rampent. Hello 2020 its hellish 😂 😂 😂 😂

🤣🤣🤣

Oh he is wearing a ring...

Lonely- Amy’s Theme was used in a potato chip advertisement on tv. Cry and eat potato chips. What’s Up Tiger Lily was an album with some good cuts. They playing in a Woody Allen movie.

Great interview,Steve Boone always is uplifting to listen to. The Music of my youth and not a week goes by where you can't walk into my shop and catch me listening to those great tunes,Yup Steve Good time Music for sure. Thanks for the tunes all of you guys.

Classy gentleman. Seemed like he might have had a cold -- sounded kinda congested.

I had no idea any of the VP were actually involved in the group's management but it sounds like he was. He sought a career on Broadway and stumbled into a gold mine called the Village People; good for him! The Indian (Felipe) will be in the group until his feathers fall off, lol ! YMCA was the record that propelled them into the big time, but if you ever want to hear an album that really nails the gay spirit of the '70s it would have to be their debut album "Village People" from 1977. It comes across as a concept album of the prototypical young gay man fleeing rejection and parental disapproval, going to the big cities, and then discovering there are hundreds of others like himself. "San Francisco, You Got Me" encapsulates this theme as did "Hollywood (Everybody is a Star"). They later expanded upon this theme with more substantial songs like "Go West". It was all about finding your identity and celebrating yourself despite the negativity and hate. The music was well-executed disco formula for the most part, light and superficial, but the underlying themes were closer to the heart and a near documentary-like commentary on an oppressed minority seeking liberation. Sadly, we all know what came next and the party was over. But WHAT A PARTY it was! Criticize the "decadence" and sexual indulgence all you wish but if you had been there like me and survived you would look fondly back at the magic and the "menergy" of that time. As for our current scene in 2020? Utterly depressing. Criticize us all you wish but we were "never being boring".

Watched all 3 parts Steve comes across as a nice literate man full of interesting and nostalgic stories. Very enjoyable.

Polly Holiday was my favorite .

She is a "Mainiac" someone from Maine in case you did not know.

Linda was great as Alice, but I also loved her as Officer Wentworth in early "Barney Miller" episodes.
