Village People的艺人档案
小简介
村民(Village People)是創建於1970年代的經典男子演唱組合。村民組合的成員分別裝扮成警官、印第安酋長、建築工人、士兵、摩托車手和牛仔。 他們知名的歌曲有Macho man, Sex over the phone，以及最著名的YMCA。Village People是由同性恋组成的组合（乡村基佬），最初创建的目标观众是同性恋流行的幻想角色,起步时因为同性恋当时不受大众理解，所以小范围出道，后来歌曲的火热迅速领他们进入主流。

Part clever concept, part exaggerated camp act, the Village People were worldwide sensations during discos heyday and keep reviving like the phoenix. Producer Jacques Morali in 1977 assembled a group designed to attract gay audiences while parodying (some claimed exploiting) that same constituencys stereotypes. Songwriters Phil Hurtt and Peter Whitehead were tabbed to compose songs with gay underpinnings, and roles and costumes were carefully selected; among them were a cowboy, biker, soldier, policeman, and construction worker complete with hard hat. The group clicked first in England with the single San Francisco (You Got Me) in 1977, then reaped stateside honors with Macho Man in 1978. Y.M.C.A. and In the Navy were worldwide smashes, both peaking at number two on the pop charts. After two more successful singles, Go West and Cant Stop the Music, the groups fortunes plummeted, in large part due to their participation in the ill-fated film also titled Cant Stop the Music.
