I already know that she was married to the Village People's Victor Willis who've shown her ALL kinds of hell.

What I didn't know and what I recently found out is, he produced for her a WHOLE disco album in the late 70's.

Anybody have any info about that?

This is not surprising. Phylicia used to be married to the former orginal lead of the Village People. The probably were on the same label.

Harlepolis said:

good lord! i had no idea she made an album. damn, i would love to hear this. i bet this album is mucho expensive as it's quite rare. shocking i tell ya!

I know that lp cover is scary looking

but it was the DISCO eraaa---there are many that should be forgiven for their trangressions back then

Ottensen said:

yeah that is true. it's just that she looks a little bamboozled

chewwsey said:

I'm not even sure whether its a "staged" make-up on her eyes,,,or her actual,,,eyes

It is spooky but girlfriend got a hell raising figure,,,yes she does

I remember seeing this record in the "used" section for 75 cents back in 1990.
Had I known that it was going to be such a big collectable I would have bought it.

And she does look possesed on that cover.

damn didn't know she had an album...and a disco one at that??? I sure am glad she stuck to acting.

I remember seeing this album cover
on one of my vinyl digs...
but I did not know it was disco

I love her voice,,,,but I don't think Disco would've done her justice. Speaking of Phylicia here's another album from another Allen...

I loooove these triple threats

Yeah Victor had drink and drug problems, and he resented being labelled as part of a gay group. Problem was he was the only one in the group who could sing, its his full vocals you hear in the hits. A great career was ruined there. Notice that after he left in 79, the group went down hill (He put the vocals on "You can't stop the music too")
The marriage didn't last long, guess Phylicia was doing something to the pay the rent, the afro is pretty authentic tho

Your assessment is valid and on point. I recall her stating some similar information in one of her interviews a while back during the time she was doing Broadway.

She has a son, too. I think Victor Willis is the father. He was in the news not too very long ago, still dealing with his drug issues.

Possessed? How bout STANK!

WOW..I had no idea...

Coincidently I purchased 'Cosby Show' Season 3 and 4 yesterday and had a fun day watching favorite episodes!

peace

lol..don't get it twisted Phunk. I'm sure Mrs. Huxatable had some freak in her back in the 1970's (and I ain't talkin' about just Victor).

IF ANYONE KNOWS ABOUT THIS RECORD...

It'll be DavidEye.

Ottensen said:

What would her law firm think?

I recenly have been catching "Cosby" in reruns and I have to say, it's not the funniest but it was a good show.
