Visually, Village People was a look. On stage, radio, and in the ears of millions of fans however, Village People was and
still is the voice and sound of Victor Willis, its legendary original lead singer.
This international recording sensation has sold over 100 million albums worldwide and still possesses one of the most powerful
voices in the recording industry today. Indeed his voice is one of the most recognizable sounds from the disco era.
Willis is a prolific hitmaker, singing and writing countless gold and mega-platinum selling songs like “Y.M.C.A,” “In the Navy,”
“Macho Man,” “Go West,” “San Francisco,” and “Milk Shake,” and “Magic Night,” from the movie “Can’t Stop The Music,” to name a few.
Willis’ other lyrical successes include “I Love America,” “Swiss Kiss,” and “Lady Night,” by Patrick Juvet. He wrote for the Ritchie
Family as well. Willis is also an accomplished actor having appeared in Broadway versions of “The Wiz,” “Hair,” “The River Niger,”
“Two Gentlemen of Verona,” and others.
In addition, Willis is the former husband of Phylicia Rashad better known as Clair Huxtable from The Cosby Show.
After a nearly two-decade absence from the entertainment industry, Willis reemerged in 2008 for the start of a long awaited world tour
and is now looking forward to additional dates.
Finally, Village People fans can once again hear that authentic Village People vocal sound as only Victor’s powerful voice can deliver.
