Having sold more than 100 million recordings, VILLAGE PEOPLE were an instant phenomenon in the '70s and '80s with hits "San Francisco/In Hollywood", "Macho Man", "YMCA", "In the Navy", "Go West" and many more. They starred in their own 1980 major feature movie "Can't Stop the Music" co-starring Steve Guttenberg, Bruce Jenner, Valerie Perrine, Paul Sand, June Havoc, Tammy Grimes and directed by Nancy Walker. It remains a popular cult film around the world. The group has won many worldwide awards including the American Music Award-Favorite Musical Group 1979, AGVA's Georgie Award, West Germany's Gold Lion Award for music excellence, Brazil's 1981 Award for Best Act, etc. In September 2008, VILLAGE PEOPLE finally received a "Star" on the Hollywood Walk of Fame – between Betty Grable and Liberace!

VILLAGE PEOPLE hits have been heard on dozens of major motion pictures including "Up Periscope", "Wayne's World II", "Addams Family Values" and "In and Out". Their own film "Can't Stop the Music" celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2011 as a world-wide cult favorite. They were seen on Fox's "Wendy Williams Show", NBC's "Singing Bee" with Joey Fatone and a recent American Express TV commercial with Ellen Degeneres and Beyonce. They have performed in recent years on the "Jay Leno Show", the "Rosie O'Donnell Show", "Oprah", "Dick Clark's New Years Eve" celebration and "Married with Children". They were also featured in advertisements for "Trivial Pursuit's 20th Anniversary Edition" (they are also featured as a question). They were half-time entertainment for Australia's Rugby Grand Finals, seen by more people than the Super Bowl in the U.S. Their music is played during the seventh inning stretch at dozens of Baseball Stadiums and they often entertain sports fans with live performances following basketball, soccer and hockey games as well. At the final All-Star Game in the "old" Yankee Stadium, they performed "YMCA" with the groundskeepers.
