Excellent group I have always loved the Village People especially YMAC. The Construction worker was and is my favorite. Keep up the excellent entertainment
I was lucky enough to see them at the Marina Grande club. Vargas State Venezuela. Such a beautiful concert. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Since I had no means to return to Caracas, I stayed all night near
My compliments to the producer and camera crew for avoiding showing the group as much as possible so people wouldn't realize this isn't the original Village People
@@MrGregsanderson22 No they are not, the Indian is definitely not! Filepe Rose. And the army guy is not Alex Briley, NON of the guys who kept the band name going for 40 years are there. The A hole cop was the original singer on the early hits.
@@MrGregsanderson22 No that is not Felipe Rose. Victor Willis is the only original on stage. Randy Jones, David Huto, Glenn Hughes (deceased) Felipe Rose, Alex Briley are no longer with the group.
@@christinebarker3091 And Felipe Rose had his own version of the Village People that only recently had stopped touring allowing Victor Wallis to tour with his version of the group so there was no confusion.
Sad part is I used to love this group. The lead singer is my neighbor. The wife only seem to come out to scream at people if their dogs get too close to her property.
Through legal maneuvering, Victor took the band back over and kicked everyone else out. These things happen in business, but to read his quotes in various articles is pretty sad. Basically, in his mind, he's the entire group and nobody else matters.
Glenn is the only one ,was replaced by Eric Anzalone the others are still with us, victor fired everyone who was still performing , randy the cowboys is doing well
@@charlesanzalone5846 nothing will ever beat the original line up a lot of people think the group was campy and a novelty maybe a bit true but the music was stunning as were the vocals and the production disco at its veery very best glenn was my fav and the two lead singers!
I like when the people who are the host of new year’s eve in 2019 got the NYPD police to dance to ymca and I wish I could see the NYPD mounted police and the Royal Canadian mounted police do the ymca dance while there on horseback and get the police horses to dance 💃 to ymca
Doing well ,getting paid their royalties, Glenn the original leather man died from cancer and was replaced by Eric Anzalone years ago, victor Willis the original lead singer finally got control of the band and sued for millions in publishing money he was finally owed, it took decades but now he owns the group
Victor now owns the rights to the name and licensing for the group since that license expired in 2017. In 1987 5 original members (Alex, Felipe, David Hodo - construction worker, Glenn Hughes - leather man, and cowboy Randy Jones) along with Ray formed their own company Sixuvus and bought the rights to the group and associated trademarks from Morali and his business partner for a 30-year deal. Victor's legal team then wrangled that away when the time came up for renewal. Victor essentially fired those who had been performing as VP for the past 35+ years, including Felipe and Alex. Jones and Hodo had quit twice previously. Jones left when Morali wanted to change their look to a bizarre New Romantic image (with Steve Strange makeup and poofy clothes). He was replaced by Jeff Olson. Hodo left after that album (Renaissance) bombed. Willis would return for the Fox on the Box album, never released in the States, but would be replaced again for the last (for the long time) official VP album, Sex Over the Phone. At this point the group was essentially finished but then Jones reached out to the others, including Simpson, to buy the rights and re-form the group. They released a few singles but never got a new record deal. Jones left again in the early 90's, to be replaced by Olson, who stayed until 2012-13ish. Hughes announced in 95 he had contracted lung cancer (he would pass away in March 2001), and handpicked his replacement, Eric Anzalone, who stayed until Willis took over. Hodo retired at age 66/67 from performing altogether in 2013 or 14, and has been quietly (and privately) enjoying retirement ever since, rarely making public appearances. Jim Newman and Bill Whitefield respectively replaced Olson and Hodo permanently as the cowboy and construction worker. Felipe Rose announced his departure about the same time Willis re-took the reins. The Sixuvus group now tours and performs as The Kings of Disco, when not being hounded by Willis for copyright infringement. They have to be extremely careful in how they promote themselves legally. For awhile they used the parenthetical "(Featuring former members of Village People)," but I think Willis has quashed that too. If they've worked out a deal, I'm unaware of it. It's sad because Victor has been so vindictive about the whole thing. I'm glad he cleaned up his substance abuse issues and criminal record, but this current incarnation he leads (the official group) is nowhere close to the originals or even the last one. For someone who has, and continues to, adamantly insisted the songs are not "gay" themed and that people just read more into them, currently fronts a group of musclebound himbos who couldn't land a gig with a second-rate Chippendales male stripper revue. I watched a recent 2023 show and was disgusted at the obvious stripper tropes the guys did, ripping off shirts, caressing muscles, tweaking, etc. Not saying the originals did dance "sexy" just not blatant.
I love the fact that the symbolism is there to usher in a new decade the village people before mainstream usher in an era of middle class people, are they hay or not? All i can say is that they're an equal opportunity org like the ymca who helped young men get another chance... This was 2 months before the event and now in 2022 keep an eye on the super bowl, before y'all regret it.
I’m not certain but I believe the lead singer (cop) is Victor Willis, and the Native American is Felipe Rose. I know the cowboy and the leather man are not originals (the latter, Glenn Hughes, passed away).
Love this group forever they know how to make feel good
Their voices didn't change. Still a great performer.
None of them are the original members, only the vocalist
What are you even talking about? Do those guys look like they were even alive in the 80’s
@@TobiasTheWolf YES! SOMEONE THERE IS OLD AS F..., AND ALSO TOURED WITH THE ORIGINAL GROUP BESIDE THE LEAD SINGER.
@@DrPlagueProductions the vocalist was not OG, it was Victor Willis
yes but he's the most recognizable face and the one who has stayed the most and also the owner of Village People @@suave-rider
Major fun!!!!!! So why can't we all have this much joy all the time!!!!! Who's with me????😊😊😊😊😊😊
That song brings me good memories 🙂
Excellent group I have always loved the Village People especially YMAC. The Construction worker was and is my favorite. Keep up the excellent entertainment
Ymac?

VILLAGE PEOPLE WERE ABSOLUTE LOVE - EVERYTHING THEY DID WAS LOVE
I love 💗 watching the NYPD mounted police 👮♀️ unit and NYPD police 👮♀️ dance 💃 to YMCA
10 months later and I AM STILL DYING!!!😆😆😆😆
🎶There's no need. To. Be. Unhappy!🎶
2020: hold my Corona
My compliments to the producer and camera crew for avoiding showing the group as much as possible so people wouldn't realize this isn't the original Village People
I think the same, they are not the originals. The only one is the cop, the singer, Victor Wallis.
Unfortunately, several of the originals are gone.

สนุกจริงๆๆ
Why?
They should make a navy ad for this generation, we need it
Keep the same song by them tho.. In the Navy
I like how the they got the NYPD police 👮♀️ to do the ymca dance 💃
Спасибо большое за видео! Жаль, что группа не сохранилась в полном составе.
2020 New Years Eve YMCA but from the living room

Sad part is I used to love this group. The lead singer is my neighbor. The wife only seem to come out to scream at people if their dogs get too close to her property.
Is the dude at least nice??😂
🤣🤣🤣
Y que se cuenta Don Víctor? xD
She’s married to a Karen ?
@@willywallie48he
Half these folks don't even know it's bout sex and cruising lmao
I realize people this is someone hi I like your videos

The front singer is the same, but he replaced the entire band.
The former band members have a separate band named Kings of Disco.
Amaba al grupo original, en especial al obrero y al indio, todos super sexis❤
Fantastic! Apenas um envelheceu! 😆😆😆👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The real.Ginyu Force.
This made me laugh
Eu do Brasil amando esse grupo 👏👏🥰
My boys are amazing!
Lo mejor de todos los tiempos, amo a estos hombres ❤
What a time!! I miss so much...
this is the most coolest group ever
This is perfect!
Yeah, I am pretty sure everyone was NOT doing the YMCA dance. Record falsely broken!!!!!
Yeah, maybe half of them, and barely at that. Still beats the record.
Ray Simpson was the best lead singer after Victor
Fabulosos 💛💙❤️
Isto é sensacional
Lets do it !!! The dance is amazing
Bet Planet Fitness didn't like a competitor performing the main stage under their banner lol
Glad to see Victor back! Where’s Felipe and Alex?
Through legal maneuvering, Victor took the band back over and kicked everyone else out.
These things happen in business, but to read his quotes in various articles is pretty sad. Basically, in his mind, he's the entire group and nobody else matters.
Victor finally after decades got the publishing millions he deserved
I'm not mad with the new people in the background, but i like the OG
The bassist is real funky
He is playing a simplified version of the original bassline.
Bass players are always the most funky 😎
How adorable is Gronk!
Wau como.estan de diferentes llano puede ni bailar el bocalista los años no.perdonan dice el dicho y es una gran realidad
Oh I love The Village people
Why didn't they also play New York City by the Village People?
Very nice to see people happy and dancing w gay music. Love it!

Master Gronk is in the house!

Great song but some of the original guys were no longer alive that is sad i loved the original guy glen
Glenn is the only one ,was replaced by Eric Anzalone the others are still with us, victor fired everyone who was still performing , randy the cowboys is doing well

Ah, mano. Se fosse no Brasil n teria ngm parado kkkkkkk

What happened to the original members of this group?
Que duros son para bailar .Lo hacen sin ganas 🙄
I like the slow versi... wait is that gronk
Dios bendiga América
Gronk can't even do the YMCA the right way. They should have given it up when Glenn left in 1996.
Wow!
This is s Brand .....😊😅

Oh my god, This is the life
The roach on the native needing to be adjusted. 🙈
And no one in the audience sang 😂
How many of those members are the originals?
2
I’m not certain but I believe the lead singer (cop) is Victor Willis, and the Native American is Felipe Rose. I know the cowboy and the leather man are not originals (the latter, Glenn Hughes, passed away).
Here? Just Victor Willis.
