“Y.M.C.A.” fue número uno en Inglaterra y Costa Rica; y número dos en Estados Unidos. Esta canción no estuvo exenta de controversia.
Dado que YMCA es una asociación de carácter cristiano que se decia a la ayuda y orientación de los jóvenes, se sintió afectada porque un grupo homosexual le dedicara una canción, lo que la llevó a demandar a Village People. Sin embargo, la demanda fue retirada sin dar mayores explicaciones.

Mezcla de ingenio y exageración, Village People se convirtió en un fenómeno mundial durante los años dorados del disco. El grupo fue creado y diseñado por el productor francés Jacques Morali en 1977 para atraer a la audiencia homosexual a través de los estereotipos más comunes a los que respondía este grupo.
Los compositores Phim Hurt y Peter Whitehead se encargaron de componer temas en los que la temática homosexual se colaba a través de roles, usos y costumbres. Canciones como “Go West” o “Macho Man” tocaban la agenda de intereses del grupo.
Al mismo tiempo se eligieron personajes y su vestimenta para completar la puesta en escena: vaquero, motociclista, soldado, indio, policía y el trabajador de la construcción bailaban una coreografía planeada para el público.Su primer integrante fue Felipe Rose a quien vio bailando en un bar de Greeenwich Village vestido como indio. Morali y su socio Henri Belolo contrataron a los compositores Phim Hurt y Peter Whitehead para que empezaran a armar un repertorio antes de que la formación se completara con Alexander Briley, Randy Jones, David Hodo, Glenn Hughes y el cantante Victor Willis a quien encontraron en un espectáculo en Broadway.
