There was no doctor among the Village People. There was, of course, a soldier (Army), Alex Briley; a cowboy, Randy Jones; an Indian, Felipe' Rose; a construction worker, David Hodo; a policeman, Victor Willis and later, Ray Simpson; and a biker/leatherman, the late Glenn Hughes.

Answer: YMCA

A # 2 smash, "Y-M-C-A" was one of the group's most popular and recognizable hits. The song was one of the first to feature their own personal brand of unofficial "PSA's: Public Service Announcements".
