He had written a few dance tunes when he was given a demo tape recorded by singer\/actor Victor Willis. Morali approached Willis and told him, \"I had a dream that you sang lead on my album and it went very, very big\". Willis agreed. The album was a success, and demand for live appearances soon followed. Morali and his business partner, Henri Belolo (under the collaboration Can't Stop Productions), hastily built a group of dancers around Willis to perform in clubs and on Dick Clark's American Bandstand. As Village People's popularity grew, Morali, Belolo and Willis saw the need for a permanent 'group.' They took out an ad in a music trade magazine which read: \"Macho Types Wanted: Must Dance And Have A Moustache.\" Morali literally bumped into the first recruit, Felipe Rose (Indian), on the streets of Greenwich Village. Rose was a bartender who wore jingle bells on his boots. He was invited to take part in the sessions for the first album. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793778274585,"sku":"NBLP-7064","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-village_people-village_people-06.jpg?v=1783554721","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/nblp-7064","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
