The group spun out hits with Belolo’s help, including memorable hits such as YMCA, In the Navy, and Macho Man. Belolo was approached by the Pentagon to use In the Navy as a recruiting jingle, and Belolo agreed to license the tune to the Navy in exchange for filming a music video. In 1979, the group filmed the video dancing aboard a Knox-class frigate in San Diego.
Lead singer of the group, Victor Willis, told Rolling Stone in a statement that a private funeral was already held in Paris but that there are plans for a public memorial service.
“I am devastated by the untimely death of Henri Belolo who was my former producer, mentor and co-creator of Village People,” Willis said. “Henri who actually died on August 3, 2019, leaves an impressive body of work that helped shape the disco genre, and as a record executive, he was par excellence.”
