Village People - In The Navy - TROS TOP 50 - (1979) TopPop
Today is Independence Day! The Fourth of July is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
To celebrate Independance day and also the freedom of speech and sex in the United States we have chosen this great anthem by the US Village People, one of the first LBGTQ forerunners in the USA.
Village People was the creation of Jacques Morali, a French composer. Their singles YMCA and In The NavyIt became a big hit in the gay community, the reason for releasing it today.
Morali built a group of dancers around singer Victor Willis to perform in clubs and videos. Morali met the first recruit, Felipe Rose (who claims indigenous American descent and dressed as a Native American), in a New York gay bar called the Anvil. Willis hand-picked Alex Briley (who initially appeared in nondescript costumes before switching to G.I. uniforms). The others were Mark Mussler (construction worker), Dave Forrest (cowboy), Lee Mouton (leatherman/biker), and Peter Whitehead (one of the group’s early songwriters), who appeared on American Bandstand and in the video for the group’s first hit, “San Francisco (You Got Me)“.
In the Navy“ was released as the first single from their fourth studio album, Go West (1979) as a successor to YMCA. It was a number one hit in Canada, Belgium, Japan and the Netherlands, while reaching number two in Ireland, Norway and the UK. In 1994, a remix charted at number 36 in the UK. “In the Navy“ was the last Top 10 hit for the group in the United States.
This video was recorded and broadcast in the TROS tv show TROS TOP 50 episode 38 of March 17, 1979
