Macho Man (album)
Macho Man is the second studio album by Village People, released on February 27, 1978. It was recorded in 1977 at Sigma Sound in New York City. The disco album runs 27 minutes and 23 seconds and was released by Casablanca, produced by Jacques Morali.
The album’s biggest singles were "Macho Man" (released June 1978) and "I Am What I Am" (1978). The songs helped the album gain popularity, and Rolling Stone described it as a potential platinum-discs disco release. The album was later issued on CD in 1999.
Village People began in 1977 as a studio project by Jacques Morali, Henri Belolo, and lead singer Victor Willis. After their first album, Morali and Belolo formed a full group for live performances, placing an ad for "Macho Types Wanted: Must Dance and Have a Moustache." The lineup on Macho Man—Willis, Randy Jones, Glenn Hughes, Felipe Rose, David Hodo, and Alex Briley—debuted on the cover. All tracks were written by Morali, Willis, Belolo, and Peter Whitehead, unless noted.
