Hollywood was overflowing with costumed characters Friday as disco music fans turned out to watch the Indian, the cowboy, the policeman, the construction worker, the biker and the soldier receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Hundreds experienced a 1970s flashback as the Village People were recognized for their catchy, kitschy tunes, including their signature hit, "YMCA." Fittingly, their star at 6529 Hollywood Blvd. is a block north of Hollywood's YMCA.
The group did not perform, but the crowd bobbed to recordings of "YMCA" and "Macho Man." Many waved Village People album covers. Among the fans were entertainer Charo, singer-songwriter Melissa Manchester and former Olympic diver Greg Louganis.
