Vocalist

The Resume

    (September 13, 1952- )
    Born in Raleigh, North Carolina
    Member of the Village People (cowboy, 1977–1992)
    Stage credits include ‘I Wanna Be Rosie,’ ‘Altar Boyz’ and ‘Sodom: the Musical’
    Film credits include ‘Can’t Stop the Music,’ ‘Three Long Years…’ and ‘The Godfather of Disco’
    Solo CDs include ‘Ticket to the World’

Why he might be annoying:

    He wound up looking like a stereotypical cowpoke.
    He was also compared to a younger version of… Robert Goulet.
    His official website (randyjonesworld.com) marks him as the ‘Cowboy of All Media!’
    He appeared on QVC to peddle a DVD featuring himself (‘Disco: Spinning the Story’).
    He was surprised to be invited to perform at an inaugural ball for George W. Bush.
    Only half-jokingly, he considers sleeping ‘at least 20 hours a day’ a secret to eternal youth (how far would you get in those other four hours?).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is a genuine village person, with a male partner.
    Syndicated columnist Liz Smith pegged him as her choice to achieve fame as a solo artist. (Hey, at least he didn’t get busted for possession like the original cop!)
    He is a Kentucky Derby regular.
    Long after leaving the Village People, he is a mainstay at gay functions.
    He is not the least bit ashamed of being a symbol of the, ahem, disco era.
