It was a triumphant, emotionally charged homecoming for Willis, who had won a court battle for control of the Village People name. After it became a modest hit, they scrambled to form a group around him. It had nothing to do with their sexual orientation. It lasted 18 months.

After the album became an international success, Jacques decided to hire a bunch of dancers to back up Victor on live performances. And so, The Village People were born! Probably the character that would fly the least if The Village People had been a band formed in the s instead of the s, Felipe Rose's "Native American" then called "The Indian" was one of the first recruits picked to backup Victor Willis.
