People
For other uses of this term, see People (disambiguation). People denotes a group of humans, either with unspecified traits, or specific characteristics (e.g. the people of Spain or the people of the Plains).The term people is often used in English as the suppletive plural of person. However, the word persons is sometimes used in place of people, especially when it would be ambiguous with its collective sense (e.g. missing persons instead of missing people). The term people can collectively refer to all humans or it can be used to identify the citizens of a nation, or members of a tribeethnic, or religious group. "People of color" is an archaic and potentially derogatory phrase used to describe people with skin color darker than that of white people.

People!
People! was a rock band originally formed in San Jose, California about 1965. In the San Jose area, they played cover music, current hits and some of their own material. Their most successful release was the a cover of the Zombies song "I Love You", which reached number one in Japan (twice), Israel, Australia, Italy, South Africa, and the Philippines, and peaked at #7 on the US Billboard Top Twenty List in June 1968. Band member Larry Norman claims that People! wrote the first rock opera ever written, and that they influenced Peter Townshend in his composition of The Who's compositon, "Tommy".[Liner Notes, Larry Norman: I Love You Korea Solid Rock 2007 ILY-001]
