- I_Am_What_I_Am_(Village_People_song) abstract "\"I Am What I Am\" is a song written by Victor Willis, Henri Belolo, Peter Whitehead and Jacques Morali that was first released by the Village People on their 1978 album Macho Man. It was also released as a single with \"Key West,\" also from Macho man, as the b-side in some countries including Germany and the UK. It did not chart in those countries, but it reached #4 on the Billboard Dance Chart in a medley with \"Key West\" and \"Macho Man.\" It has since been released on several Village People greatest hits compilation albums. It was also included on the soundtrack for the 1978 film Thank God It's Friday.Village People singer Randy Jones describes \"I Am What I Am\" as \"a gay liberation statement, aimed directly at gays and lesbians who were standing up without apology for their lifestyle\" and as the group's \"first gay liberation song.\" He says that the theme of the song is the virtue of being yourself, and not just if you're gay or transgender but even just if you want to dress in an unusual manner, as long as you don't hurt anyone else. Author Michael DeAngelis describes the theme as being \"pride and faithfulness to the individual and authentic self.\" DeAngelis notes that this theme had particular resonance at the time, when the gay community was in the process of \"coming out\" and a general cultural obsession was finding healthy ways to feel good about oneself. Author Frédéric Martel identifies \"I Am What I Am\" as one of five Village People songs that were touchstones to the gay movement in France when they came out (\"San Francisco (You've Got Me),\" \"Macho Man,\" \"Y.M.C.A.\" and \"In the Navy\" being the others).Author Judith A. Peraino described \"I Am What I Am\" as a \"hit single\" while Boze Hadleigh described it as a \"pre-hit.\" Author Sharon Davis claimed that lyrics are \"so camp they have to held down with tent pegs.\" But Billboard Magazine described it as \"provocative,\" describing it as a \"gay pride anthem with its activist lyrics and basic theme.\" Billboard also praised the rhythm and percussion and horn arrangements. Allmusic critic Amy Hanson described it as \"a well-constructed slab of groove,\" despite lacking subtlety.The song's title was later reused by Jerry Herman for a 1983 hit song performed by Gloria Gaynor, which also had gay pride as a theme. Reebok later used the title phrase for a successful sneaker advertising campaign.".
