# Ray Simpson

> Ray Simpson is an American singer best known as a former lead singer and "Cop" of the disco super-group Village People, having been in that role for over 30 years. In August 1979, he replaced original lead singer, Victor Willis as the Cop, a role he would fill until 1982, and again from 1987 until Willis' return in 2017. Simpson had been performing backup singing for Village People in its first years, which is why he was recruited to join the group when Willis left.
