Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Felipe Rose, Original Member of “The Village People”

 

About Harvey's guest:

 

Today’s guest, Felipe Rose, is an original member of one of the most phenomenally popular and beloved music groups of all time:  The Village People, who brought us many unforgettable hits we just couldn’t stop singing and dancing to, including “YMCA”, “San Francisco”, “In the Navy”, “Macho Man”, “Go West”, “Everybody Is a Star in Hollywood”, “I Am What I Am”, and many more.  

 

They had some of the biggest hits of the 70s, and of course, the Village People starred in the classic 1980 movie, “Can’t Stop the Music”.  Our guest was dressed as an Indigenous American, along with his bandmates Alex Briley, the military man, David Hodo, the construction worker, Randy Jones, the cowboy, Glen Hughes, the leather man, and lead singer Victor Willis, who was sometimes a cop and sometimes a naval officer.  

 

The Village People had enormous success, with 25 gold and platinum records, an American Music Award, 2 Billboard Music Awards, a George M. Cohan Entertainer of the Year Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  And in 2020, the American Library of Congress inducted the song “YMCA” into the National Recording Registry, which preserves audio recordings considered to be "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."  

 

In addition to his work with the Village People, our guest has had a great solo music career, recording singles including “Trail of Tears”, "We're Still Here," “Red Hawk Woman”, "Going Back to My Roots," “Dance Again” - and now, his brand new single, “That’s What You Are”.   

 

This single, which was released on June 21, is now available on every major music streaming platform.  Our guest has won 5 Native American Music Awards and in 2008, he was inducted into the Native American Music Hall of Fame.
