The Village People were a musical group in the United States during the early eighties who dressed up in costumes of a policeman, a sailor, a construction worker, an Indian chief, a leather-clad biker, and another that escapes my memory. Their two most popular disco hits were Macho Man and Y.M.C.A. They were very popular among the homosexual community and are believed by many to have had a large contribution to to the death of disco.
