Description
When the Village People appeared on the music scene in the late 1970s, they struck a cultural nerve. Never before had gay sexuality been as up-front and in the face of American audiences. Randy Jones, the original cowboy in the band, takes us inside the time period, the discos, and the new musical style that was in many ways unprecedented in giving a voice to a previously closeted gay culture. The work concludes with a "gayography"--A listing of openly gay musicians and performers in the United States before and since the Village People. This work will interest pop culture and music enthusiasts, in addition to scholars in gay studies.
