For 40 years, the music of Village People has been putting smiles on the faces of fans all around the world. Their hits have become part of the international songbook and heard in commercials from Pepsi to Wonderful Pistachios. In fact, the iconic “Y.M.C.A” (along with its dance) is featured at almost every party, wedding, bar mitzvah and sporting event.

Village People became an international phenomenon with the release of their second album, Macho Man. Following the release of their third album, Cruisin, they embarked on a worldwide tour. Cher, Madonna, Joan Rivers, and Michael Jackson were among artists who appeared on the bill.
