Village People: Disco Beats, Cultural Shifts, and Gay Icons

The Compendium Podcast: An Assembly of Fascinating and Intriguing Things

In this episode of the Compendium, we’re exploring the origin story of the Village People, the iconic band that brought us unforgettable disco music hits like "Y.M.C.A.," "Macho Man," and "In the Navy." From their creation by Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo to their rise to fame, come with us as we dive into their history and cultural impact they had on the disco era and the LGBTQ community.
