Today, nearly 35 years after the creation of the group, the Village People legacy endures and continues to be reinvented through the six performers who don the iconic costumes that first captured and captivated the world’s attention in 1977. They are: Ray Simpson, who replaced Victor Willis as the group’s Lead Singer/Cop in 1979, beginning with the group’s cult hit film Can’t Stop the Music. Felipe Rose, who is the one and only Native American Indian, and was the basis for the creation of the group. He is half-Native American and half-Puerto Rican. Alexander Briley, the one and only G.I./Military Man. David Hodo, the original Construction Man. Jeff Olson, who, in 1980, replaced Randy Jones as the Cowboy just after "Can’t Stop the Music." Eric Anzalone, who joined the group in 1995 as the Biker/Leatherman, as original member Glenn Hughes began battling lung cancer. With a global fan base and a worldwide tour schedule that attests to the group’s enduring and increasing popularity, Village People is thrilled to extend an invitation to their fans, both young and older, to celebrate with them 35 years and counting. ••• 20 September 2011 Village People media contact: Brad Lemack Lemack & Company Talent Management/Public Relations (626) 285-4040 blemack@LemackCo.com ••• Photo caption: Legendary Village People kick off the 2012 celebration of their 35 years as a group with Raw, Hot and Live, their exciting, new get-up-and-disco- ••• For more information on Village People, including detailed bios and a decade-by-decade history, visit their Website: OfficialVillagePeople.com.
