Village People - In Hollywood (Everybody Is A Star) • TopPop

Village People is an American disco group well known for their on-stage costumes depicting American masculine cultural stereotypes such as native Indians, cowboys, policemen, and Navy soldiers, as well as their catchy tunes and suggestive lyrics. Originally created by Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo to target disco's gay audience by featuring popular gay fantasy personae, the band quickly became popular and moved into the mainstream.

When I was watching this i was thinking his contribution to the group is underrated. He really understood his "character " and really was a great performer.

I had a crush on the leather man back then as I was only 19yrs at the time. Such talent even back then. Glad I lived back in that era.... Thanks for the upload.

Its a double single, the full version includes San Francisco, which is also really good

I just recently discovered this song; I'm surprised it wasn't a bigger hit, as indicated by less than 500k views in almost a decade, whereas YMCA has a 1/3rd of a billion.

Ironically, this original studio track sang by original Village People's lead singer late Victor Willis, is recorded with back vocals other than the cast shown here! This record, which truly launched the Village People project was not meant to serve live performances at all!

@@JoxBoxProductions "late Victor Willis" umm... you might want to check your facts considering Victor Willis is alive and well and touring with the Village People right now...

[@tomc8617]

They were great. Too bad they were fruits who tried to push their weirdness onto others. Nearly every one of their songs promoted the gay lifestyle. In any case, they were definitely one of the best groups of the disco era. My favorite songs of theirs were this one (Hollywood), San Fransisco, Fire Island, Key West, and Just a Gigolo. Didn't care much for YMCA and In The Navy, as they were too over-the-top weird in their messages.

[@marisagarcia1022]

It's ok to promote a gay lifestyle if you're gay,just like heteros promote their lifestyle.There's room for everyone. It was fun dance music,no one got hurt.

@@destineydevereux4722 - Typical fruitcake response. You weirdos want us to believe that everyone is sick like you are. Lots of great music over the decades was performed by gay people, going back to Little Richard. One doesn't have to be gay to appreciate their music.
