My Take
Rose holds a strange and wonderful place in pop history as the original "Indian" of the Village People. Behind the feathered headdress and face paint was a performer helping power anthems like YMCA that still fill dance floors worldwide. What strikes me is the boldness it took to commit to such a vivid, theatrical persona at the height of disco. He was no passing novelty; he has kept making music and maintains his own platform decades on, which tells me the artistry was real.
