@@Kaye-v2p Replacing a lead singer can be a daunting task for any group and doesn't always work out but in this case it did . Ray Sampson was terrific and filled the void and allowed the VP to continue.
The funny thing about the Village People is that most people that think about them remember them for the gimmick - a cop, a native American, a construction worker, etc. - and the song YMCA, but what a lot of people tend to forget is just how talented they were. Their music is so well-done, well-performed, and gets your heart pounding, and yet at the same time there's a longing and an emotion behind the lyrics - especially in this song - that make their performances unforgettable. They truly were artists.
So well said so well performed omg go west they really put their heart and soul my 23 year old nephew mario .just passed tragically 5 21 21 this makes me happy for him in. Heaven.go west mario straight in heaven. Rip. Hope nobody thinks im .corhy

A lot of people couldn't see beyond the costumes which was seen as a "gay gimmick". However they represented "universal equality". Look deeper the vocal delivery & harmony work is highly impressive.
Use to blast their 8 tracks in my brand new 1979 firebird formula. I was 21. Dating my girlfriend of 1 year now married to her for 41 years. Time flies. Great times
@@danielbrown6112 Watching this is so surreal!!! Did you notice that there are no close-ups of the sailor? His dancing is also off. Watch around 2:24 in slow motion. He has the turn wrong. I'm a dancer, I can tell. Interestingly, in Macho Man there are no close-ups of that guy either. I think the scene where Forrest Gump meets JFK looks more real than this, but I guess I have been wearing my tin foil hat too long, time for a break. 😉😅
"Go West" is one of the happiest and most joyful sing-along songs I've ever known. Truly a favorite. FYI. This video is a Village People performance on The Merv Griffin Show. I will never forget watching this episode. It featured The Ritchie Family and Dennis Parker as well as the VPs.
No. Kidding. I. Heard of the. Ritchie show. Really. Fantastic they can all dance and sing. I remember this. Song playing this is on. The radio. In the car. Love it. Love it. A true masterpiece. Happy happy new year 2024
Its hard to find a song these days that can cause such deep emotional movement. The meaning behind this song is beautiful. Regardless of your orientation you have to love these guys.
Lol. I found out this today xddd I was watching the PSB video and in the coments somebody said something bout the original song. Me: what do you mean the original song? O_O 😂😂😂
The construction worker (David Hodo) was by far the best dancer of the group. He was professionally trained in NYC and did many shows on Broadway. He also contributed original material and choreography to the group. As you can see by this video, he always gave 100%. Great stuff !!
Lots of good memories. They performed in my club in the late 80's. I was the DJ in the club. I remember a member of their team mentioned "This is the smallest club we've ever worked in" Howard Avenue Station Tampa, FL
I know a little bit about the history of The Village People. They were highly underrated, and all about just having a little fun. Nobody at all as entertaining as they were, around today for sure .
Очень знакомая песня!!!Сила,мужество,отвага,непокорность и победа добра над злом.Была бы счастлива узнать больше о талантливых парнях,их солисте,как сложилась его судьба?????Потому боюсь,что там могли быть запрещенные средства.Их смелость вдохновляет и пугает.Чернокожий парень-солист талантлив.Каждая его песня-боль сердца.Спасибо многокоатно!!!!💖💕💖💕💞💓💖
What a tune! If I was in that crowd I wouldn't have been able to control myself, I'd have been up dancing and having a damn good time along with them haha!
I swear if you watch this video and just concentrate on the guy second from the left and no one else you will find a new enthusiasm for this song - he is brilliant - made us laugh big time but with him and not at him - excellent, so funny, even with the sound off - he goes for it big time in this and myself and my daughter cant thank him enough, in times of sadness he has made us smile and laugh at just how much he went for it and it was great to watch.
I don't think it's funny, he's fabulous! :) Such an amazing performer. He always gave a little more than the others. He had his start on Broadway, so, no wonder. :)
This song was tied with..."God save the Queen" by the Sex Pistols. God Save the Queen was debated as a poosible Source of Treason by the Monarchy.....and also caused the band mates to be threatened and Johnny stabbed. So yes both songs were tied.
This song means so much to me. I was literally in the the New Orleans airport deciding which city to go to to start my new life, then I put this song on and now I live in Denver! I literally went west! 🤠❤️
It happened the same to me. I was sick of the weather, the stress and the bad life in Ontario. I just moved to Vancouver and I am so happy here. Even the food is so good.
I lived in Fort Collins, Colorado, in my young adult years. I was about 60 miles away from the Mile Hi City, to the north. What's more, I went with my grandmother to Denver at the time of "Go West'" 's popularity (Spring 1979). So there's my connection!
This song is more than you going west though, they're talking about the original populating of the USA and the movement into the Mid West from the New England region where America was founded. You still haven't technically gone "west" enough to be part of the Mid West.
Village People the best: Victor Willis (police man) David Hodo ( construction worker) Felipe Rose (indian)Glenn Hughes (bicker) Alex Briley (soldier) Randy Jones (cowboy) . I love Village People so much
@@jasonbertalotto2355 , I think Ray Simpson was alot better than Victor Willis, when Victor Willis returned after being in prison, he screwed over all the original guys, except for Alex Briley, and replaced them with guys that couldn't dance. Actually Victor Willis should be replaced because he's so fat now that he can't dance at all and his voice is terrible now. I seen him and the replacements on video and they were terrible,. We should just remember Ray Simpson and the original Village People guys.
The boy dressed as an Indian is spectacular in everything, his body is beautiful and his choreography is perfect ... when they were in fashion I was 14 years old ... I remember them as if it were yesterday

I remember this song as a young gay 14 year old boy. It was full of hope and optimism of what the 80's would bring, I couldn't wait to grow up and be part of it. No one could have guessed what the 80's would bring and how it would shape our lives for years to come. When I hear this song I'm reminded of that young boy full of hope.
Fantastic song! Happy upbeat songs and talented singers. Excellent raunchy dance moves, too! Especially David Hodo. We need to bring back those happy tunes.
I totally understand you, Salfordio! Their music is just timeless and addictive. Whether you like it or hate it, you can't get the tune out of your head!
The section early on where Willis sings 'your hand in my hand' and then pulls a determined face as he puts his two hands together - POWERFUL STUFF. I mean the whole thing is just phenomenal but that moment for me is 👌
They are always convey such positive energy whenever they perform. Sigh, such things eventually come to an end. Loved the Village People. The singer can actually sing unlike some of these new generation of singers.
@@tabloidefast5890 sim más os originais dessa linda música são esse grupo aí . claro com pet ficou mais inclementada . más só dás antigas eu curte muito com eles aí e curto muito hoje os dois
I remember this when it first came out in England. I’d always like Village People since I was 13 (in 1978) and fancied David Hodo the construction worker the most! 😀
@@fifilamour3859 I’m so sorry I accidentally miskeyed an “I” rather than “o” (they are next to each other on a QWERTY keyboard). You seem extremely intolerant!
I love this so much. Honestly, Filipe Rose’s costume and dancing is very sexy. He really knows how to move. They are all awesome but Filipe really stands out!
This is the first song I ever got truly drunk on. Highschool party I came with a water bottle filled with a concoction of different liquors taken from my parents' basement. I called it the concoction of the gods, and it was a first timers mistake (vodka, whisky, gin, so on all mixed together). I ended up running down the road singing this song with all my heart. I ended up getting very sick and it followed me for several years with a negative stigma and I regretted it but now I look back at it with fond memories and have come to accept it as simply a moment in my life I can remember and laugh about. It was a freeing moment as a teenager, running down the road belting this song with my entire soul. Thank you, Village People, I will continue moving forward together with my friends going my way flying so high to begin life new I will do just fine with the skies of blue I will learn and reach. I love you I know you love me I want to have the earth kept free, so I have no protest. There are many ways to live under the sun or shade together. Go west (whatever your direction is) to do just fine under skies of blue!
When the video first started, I was sporting denim jeans and a hooded top. Now it has finished, I appear to be wearing nothing but a leather jock strap. This isn't a complaint. Merely an observation.
I love this song. I originally thought it was by the petshop boys.😅. On a different note, I suggest you listen to 'I ran' by a flock of seagulls. Hope you enjoy it!
When I retired in 2018, I didn't "Go West", but I did go south - to Florida. No matter where you decide to live, this is such an upbeat and happy song. It is also encouraging. I enjoy this song so much.
That's the spirit!!!!!! This song and looking at them always lift my spirit!!! Please, listen to this song whenever you are down, it will take you up right away!!!! So much enthusiasm!!!!
Memories what's better than that.... Happy memories of when I was there listening and watching live in NYC with the love of my life who she is long gone but, nothing can't change that moment in time ⌚😢💖
I’m now 50, and I still remember going to the movies to see Can’t Stop the Music! They are fantastic 🔥💥🌟🧡I loved the ‘80’s..disco, power ballads, it was awesome ☀️
Come on, come on, come on, come on We will go our way (Together) We will leave someday (Together) Your hand in my hand (Together) We will make our plans (Together) We will fly so high (Together) Tell all our friends good-bye (Together) We will start life new (Together) This is what we'll do Life is peaceful there (Go West) In the open air (Go West) Where the skies are blue (Go West) This is what we're gonna do We will love the beach (Together) We will learn and teach (Together) Change our pace of life (Together) We will work and strive (I love you) I know you love me (I want you) How could I disagree?

Very Clever putting the guy in a Native American outfit next to the guy in black leather - the contrast creates a marked impression & I notice that that view is the most common shot. That on top of a very memorable song & terrific singing & dancing - it was obviously going to be a winner :-)
Very few people know that this world-famous group, which has sold nearly 80 million records, is originally French ! " YMCA", the anthem of Donald Trump’s meetings today, "Go West" and "In the navy" are titles composed by Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo, the two French founders of the group. They hired Victor Willis to be the lead singer of the band.

love the energy and optimism in this song. What a terrific voice Victor Willis has.
He truly makes songs shine so much more.
He really had a great voice; very expressive
But playback ruined everything
And he was backthen one most good looking and most charismatic among them with late glenn hughes and likewise god victor simpson

The lead vocal kills! So soulful.
VICTOR WILLIS and then RAY SAMPSON But it was Victor on all the hits

@@BossySwan yes, best!
Their voices are just so... crisp. You can really feel their energy, and it feels like there’s way more than just 5 of them!
That's because they are miming and the backing vocals were multi tracked to make it sound like there was a choir.
that's cause there are 6 of them. did you lose count?..... or are you like most of us who remember 5, but now there are 6?

I just discovered this song now. And I'm 43. So yah
I was also 41 9 months ago and only found this out 5 minutes ago!
Ah, the 70s. A time when things were normal.
The school disco, white suits and disco. The greatest music of all times!
Things were just as gay then as they are now. It's just more obvious now. Is that your definition of normal?
The construction worker (David Hodo) was by far the best dancer of the group. He was professionally trained in NYC and did many shows on Broadway. He also contributed original material and choreography to the group. As you can see by this video, he always gave 100%. Great stuff !!
I concur.😎👍

Correct! By far, the most talented of all of them.

The construction worker dude can give these twerkers we have now a run for their money!!!lol
I think his hips may be classed as a bladed weapon.
I wish I hadn't even a quarter of his energy

Bruno bonjour
I remember watching this as a closeted gay kid in Iowa back then and feeling NOT alone anymore.
Kkkkkkk
Je savais qu’ils étaient gay…
Qué vergüenza 😂
I sincerely hope you're feeling happy now.
Friendly to you.
Sure. .
Hanno delle grandi voci, che unite in una sola e grande armonia rendono ogni pezzo mitico
The dude in jeans got the best hip action.
He's a professional dancer
Vrdd

Sure 😂😂
@@No1KCfan6 It's true!!! He moves so sexy....
He has an incredible voice
And his good looks was rare indeed backthen
I don't anyone who doesn't love this song, pure magic. Greetings from Sydney Australia. 🇦🇺
I don't such people either.
You may have two life times, but will never reach the level of happiness this guy (construction worker) is having right now. 0:43.
El obrero lleva una doble vida pero es feliz así
i absolutely love village people
I remember this when it first came out in England. I’d always like Village People since I was 13 (in 1978) and fancied David Hodo the construction worker the most! 😀
Hodo, not Hodi
@@fifilamour3859 I’m so sorry I accidentally miskeyed an “I” rather than “o” (they are next to each other on a QWERTY keyboard). You seem extremely intolerant!
Abuelaaaaa la la la la laaaaaa🇦🇷🇦🇷
Very Nice harmonic progression + cold war lyrics + retina burning visual. Awesome
NO ONE SHOULD EVER FEEL ALONE! WE'RE ALL FUCKED UP PEOPLE DOING OUR BEST!
I love this so much. Honestly, Filipe Rose’s costume and dancing is very sexy. He really knows how to move. They are all awesome but Filipe really stands out!
This is the first song I ever got truly drunk on. Highschool party I came with a water bottle filled with a concoction of different liquors taken from my parents' basement. I called it the concoction of the gods, and it was a first timers mistake (vodka, whisky, gin, so on all mixed together). I ended up running down the road singing this song with all my heart. I ended up getting very sick and it followed me for several years with a negative stigma and I regretted it but now I look back at it with fond memories and have come to accept it as simply a moment in my life I can remember and laugh about. It was a freeing moment as a teenager, running down the road belting this song with my entire soul. Thank you, Village People, I will continue moving forward together with my friends going my way flying so high to begin life new I will do just fine with the skies of blue I will learn and reach. I love you I know you love me I want to have the earth kept free, so I have no protest. There are many ways to live under the sun or shade together. Go west (whatever your direction is) to do just fine under skies of blue!
너무좋아요
When the video first started, I was sporting denim jeans and a hooded top.
Now it has finished, I appear to be wearing nothing but a leather jock strap.
This isn't a complaint. Merely an observation.

👍
😂 cute lol
That sounds serious, my T-shirt and shorts only turned into glossy leather. Also my sleeves fell off.

I love this song. I originally thought it was by the petshop boys.😅. On a different note, I suggest you listen to 'I ran' by a flock of seagulls. Hope you enjoy it!
The blonde guy dances fenomenal!!!
He has the music in his body ❤💪
Phenomenal
Victor Willis had one of the best voices of the 70's and is hugely underrated IMO
When I retired in 2018, I didn't "Go West", but I did go south - to Florida. No matter where you decide to live, this is such an upbeat and happy song. It is also encouraging. I enjoy this song so much.
Florida is west of Russia and China .
Just go West and don't look back :-)
The construction worker definitely steals the show here!
The construction worker's the best!!! SEXY HIPS 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻😍😍😍😍
That's the spirit!!!!!! This song and looking at them always lift my spirit!!! Please, listen to this song whenever you are down, it will take you up right away!!!!
So much enthusiasm!!!!
yep, I have stayed up the whole night yesterday by listening to this song, lol
la mejor música de nuestros tiempos¡viva Village People!
Amen!
This is the first time I've heard this! I love 💘it!
David Hodo, the construction worker, what a gorgeous man!!!!
Right!
Beautiful
Inarrestabile!!! Sexy 💪🏻😍
amazing stuff. history in the making. will never be a band like them
man! that construction worker is giving it all at the dancefloor, I only can see him now
元気が出る楽曲です
Memories what's better than that.... Happy memories of when I was there listening and watching live in NYC with the love of my life who she is long gone but, nothing can't change that moment in time ⌚😢💖
I’m now 50, and I still remember going to the movies to see Can’t Stop the Music! They are fantastic 🔥💥🌟🧡I loved the ‘80’s..disco, power ballads, it was awesome ☀️
Same here. I had a couple of their posters up on my walls. lol.
This holds up so well. Pet Shop Boys is good, too. Just a great song.
Pet shop has less soul and yearning.
Come on, come on, come on, come on
We will go our way
(Together) We will leave someday
(Together) Your hand in my hand
(Together) We will make our plans
(Together) We will fly so high
(Together) Tell all our friends good-bye
(Together) We will start life new
(Together) This is what we'll do
Life is peaceful there
(Go West) In the open air
(Go West) Where the skies are blue
(Go West) This is what we're gonna do
We will love the beach
(Together) We will learn and teach
(Together) Change our pace of life
(Together) We will work and strive
(I love you) I know you love me
(I want you) How could I disagree?
(So that's why) I make no protest
(When you say) You will do the rest
Life is peaceful there
(Go West) In the open air
(Go West) Baby you and me
(Go West) This is our destiny
(Go West) Sun in wintertime
(Go West) We will do just fine
(Go West) Where the skies are blue
(Go West, this is what we're gonna do)
There where the air is free
We'll be (We'll be) what we want to be
Now if we make a stand
We'll find (We'll find) our promised land
There are many ways
(To live there) In the sun or shade
(Together) We will find a place
(To settle) Where there's so much space
(Without rush) And the pace back East
(The hustling) Rustling just to feed
(I know I'm) Ready to leave too
(So that's what) We are gonna do
(What we're gonna do is
Go West) Life is peaceful there
(Go West) There in the open air
(Go West) Where the skies are blue
(Go West) This is what we're gonna do
(Life is peaceful there) Go West
(In the open air) Go West
(Baby, you and me) Go West
(This is our destiny)
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Sun in wintertime
(Go West) We will feel just fine
(Go West) Where the skies are blue
(Go West) This is what we're gonna do
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
(Go West)
Nobody in the world loves as much his work as the construction worker
ABUELAAAAAA LA LA LAA LAAA LAAAAA😂
ahaha the constructor is so in the mood!
Rampant
Very Clever putting the guy in a Native American outfit next to the guy in black leather - the contrast creates a marked impression & I notice that that view is the most common shot. That on top of a very memorable song & terrific singing & dancing - it was obviously going to be a winner :-)
Man, that builder is seriously feeling it, huh?
100% PURE TALENT... A VERY ANTHEM!!!❤
One of the most under appreciated bands ever.
These guys move me they sing well, and perform well.
how can such a legendary band like village people could be considered under appreciated?!, are you 14 or something?
@@sudacagamer First I'm 55 and second the fact that their not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is
probably an indicator and also a travesty.
Very few people know that this world-famous group, which has sold nearly 80 million records, is originally French ! " YMCA", the anthem of Donald Trump’s meetings today, "Go West" and "In the navy" are titles composed by Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo, the two French founders of the group. They hired Victor Willis to be the lead singer of the band.
Love the choreography, very creative!
