Ray Simpson and the rest of the Village People still pack houses to this very day and they perform regularly.

Nick Ashford was a remarkable talent and it’s sad that his life was cut so short, but it’s beautiful to see Valerie continuing to spread what she and Nick built together. We wish the Valerie much continued success.
