Happy to see Randy is still alive, and very much looking great & lively as ever. He seems to be a natural. Love watching him perform in their videos coz not only did he sing and dance well but he always put a big smile whenever he performs. Long live Randy, I hope you are still here with us its already January 25,2022 today. Would be so great to have his book "Macho Man."
I saw the village people in 1996 march 30 , with Kc and the sunshine band, It was relly kind of fun , Went with a friend and his wife and my girlfriend. It was highenergy the whole time
Awww..... my favourite village man. I fad such a crush on him.... and I hate moustaches (go figure). I would have seen You Can't Stop The Music about 10 times.
+Leif Larsson yes,Victor Willis was messed up, drugs, weapons alcohol. The other guys tried to set him straight but when he wouldn't do it, they kicked him out.
I was into the Village People when I was three. I'm 45. Randy was my favourite and still is. I always dressed up as a cowboy (not a cowgirl as most people mistakenly thought I would want to dress up as) when I did dress ups - I wanted to be him. They were huge in Australia.
I had no idea any of the VP were actually involved in the group's management but it sounds like he was. He sought a career on Broadway and stumbled into a gold mine called the Village People; good for him! The Indian (Felipe) will be in the group until his feathers fall off, lol ! YMCA was the record that propelled them into the big time, but if you ever want to hear an album that really nails the gay spirit of the '70s it would have to be their debut album "Village People" from 1977. It comes across as a concept album of the prototypical young gay man fleeing rejection and parental disapproval, going to the big cities, and then discovering there are hundreds of others like himself. "San Francisco, You Got Me" encapsulates this theme as did "Hollywood (Everybody is a Star"). They later expanded upon this theme with more substantial songs like "Go West". It was all about finding your identity and celebrating yourself despite the negativity and hate. The music was well-executed disco formula for the most part, light and superficial, but the underlying themes were closer to the heart and a near documentary-like commentary on an oppressed minority seeking liberation. Sadly, we all know what came next and the party was over. But WHAT A PARTY it was! Criticize the "decadence" and sexual indulgence all you wish but if you had been there like me and survived you would look fondly back at the magic and the "menergy" of that time. As for our current scene in 2020? Utterly depressing. Criticize us all you wish but we were "never being boring".
I'M 60 Y/O NOW, I STILL LOVE THE VILLAGE PEOPLE!!!
He has star quality. Very likable and no pretense.
I agree
Legendary band.
Looks basically the same, only older. pretty impressive if you ask me.
He still has the disco in the body, that´s why he can´t sit still :-) Great interview
Disco love.
Or just has ADHD. lol
Likeable guy!
Wish the interviewer would listen to the answers given instead of rushing to the next question.
I was lucky to meet all of them when they tour Australia loved them still do
Tom Selleck good looks. Had the opportunity to meet him. He’s a friendly, gigantic man.
@andree france paquette he’s saying his looks were as GOOD as Tom sellecks! NOW who’s the Dumbass??
Nossa! Ele está muito bem, aparência ótima.

th-cam.com/video/7YXpT2lbIsY/w-d-xo.html his new song
This man Randy is my interesting to listen to.
I saw the village people in 1996 march 30 , with Kc and the sunshine band, It was relly kind of fun , Went with a friend and his wife and my girlfriend. It was highenergy the whole time
The thing about The Village People, is that the band actually made music videos.
I wish the interviewer would stop cutting off Randy Jones.
Yep. Should be muzzled. Terribly rude. Fire his ass.
He doesn't listen; too busy checking his notes and thinking about what he's gonna say next.
A great humanitarian being a rare celebrity
YMCA - PERIOD the greatest song that just makes everyone smile. FUN, GREAT, DECENT, HARMONY
'Dancing in The Street' by Martha and the Vandellas, perhaps?
Randy interviews well, he's interesting to watch
I had an opportunity to meet him for the first time. Also it was my first time in NY. He was a very nice guy.
Macho man
Awww..... my favourite village man. I fad such a crush on him.... and I hate moustaches (go figure).
I would have seen You Can't Stop The Music about 10 times.
I was always attracted to him.
Oh he is wearing a ring...
He married his boyfriend awhile back
5:20
All jobs are repetitious.
"...the original cop went in and out of jail..." >.
+Leif Larsson yes,Victor Willis was messed up, drugs, weapons alcohol. The other guys tried to set him straight but when he wouldn't do it, they kicked him out.
When and why did the original group members I.e Randy Jones leave I would appreciate it if somebody could answer this

Aún ellos viven hoy en día?
É O TIRINGA BRANCO AI
Is Randy kinda tipsy? He looks pretty darn good. He's got to be in his 60's.
Too bad this important interview wasn't done by someone competent. He's not as bad or arrogant as Skip E. Lowe, but getting down there. Randy Rocks!!!
What emotion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tweek much?
Cool dude
randy es marav¡lloso
Quisiera pusieran subtítulos o traducción!
in the 60's and 70's it was all about drugs, cocain and stuff, thank goodness all anyone does in the 2020's is orange juice and 7-up.
RANDY NEVER GAVE "VICTOR WILLIS" HIS DUE CREDIT HERE. @ 0:28 SECS. "VICTOR WILLIS", WROTE THE HITS. NUFF SAID!
I met him
That moustache though
1:00-1:10 .....mmmmmmhmmmm
Randy is a big gay
So the Bandit was in Village People ?
Coke
I dated A dude that swore he and Randy were lovers once, he was also bi polar so make your own assumptions, Harv Fierman not Randy Jones was Bipolar.
Edward Gordon gay ass, both of you
Age is a cruel thing :(
Not really
Listen to this limp-wristed disco-fab nobody comparing himself to Ozzy Osbourne! X-D
+American Jesus He didn't compare himself to Ozzy. Were you even listening?
The person who gave you a thumbs up didn't listen either.
American Jesus and your more popular than him? Who are you? You must be nobody
