The CHIC Organisation Hey,
what do you think of Nile Rodgers and Nard Edwards? I simply LOVE their work until 1980... After '80 they didn't make the music people wanted to hear from them. Their problem was, they ran out of good ideas (melodies etc) and CHIC lived from that Disco-ish sound (though I would consider CHIC a R'n'B band not simply disco!!!) That happens with everyone who is connected witha certain sound (i.e. Beach Boys) Noone would liek to hear a hard-rock-song by the Beach Boys and they couldn't always release those I Get Around melodies... WELL; to come back to CHIC. I love them so much! I have every album by them they made for everyone. CHIC Norma Jean C'est CHIC We Are Family Risque Somebody To Love Diana King Of The World out of all these the last one with Sheila B. Devotion is teh worst one, but I love Spacer!! does anyone have the Norma Jean album? I still search for soem tracks of it. my faves are Everbody Dance Le Freak Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Lose My Feet Keep Dancing My Forbidden Lover Good Times SPacer We Are Family He's The Greates Dancer Lost In Music Pretty Baby Upside down I'm Coming Out... Saturday I Like Love Sorcerer | |

Saturday I Like Love Sorcerer Interesting thread. Nile Rodgers & Benard Edwards were a helluva of a production team in the 70's. The produced countless hits not only for their group Chic but for: Sledge Sisters, Diana Ross, & Others. Some of my favorites from their production years going from the 70-80's would consist of: Chic Material]: Everybody Dance C'est Chic My Forbidden Lover Le Freak Dance Dance Dance Diana Upside Down I'm Coming Out Duran Duran Notorious I Don't Won't Your Love Power Station All material Madonna All Material on Like A Virgin Album Grace Jones I'm Not Perfect | |

Chic was just an all around great group regardless of the decade. Their work was really great in the 1970s but I also love "We Are The Rebels" and "Give Me The Lovin'" from the early 1980s and their productions for other artists also. Their album "Chic-ism" from the early 1990s was great too. This is the kind of group that should have continued throwing down hard and being successful in the 1990s and today rather than the weak, dull, no-talent bullshit that took over. Andy is a four letter word. | |

They also got lumped in with the disco bullshit. I'll never understand how people can't tell the difference between funk and disco. | |

Funk and disco are one in the same to me.....fun, uptempo music for the ass rather the brain. Music to have some fun and escape your problems rather than dwell on them.

"Real People" was an underrated but great CD. "The first time I saw the cover of Dirty Mind in the early 80s I thought, 'Is this some drag queen ripping on Freddie Prinze?'" - Some guy on The Gear Page | |

Before making such statements, you should really look into it. I understand that everybody have their musical preferences or are more sensitive to a certain musical genre but if you really like music you should not generalize and condemn it. "Girly Man Man Man..... Kill her kill her kill her" | |

Nah. Disco doesn't move anything, it has no soul. The main focus on both disco and funk is the drums, bass, and rhythm. Those three elements are the recipe for an ass shaker. When those three elements were taken out of music in the 1990s, that's when music turned to shit. Andy is a four letter word. | |

exactly. that's why i hate most of this modern R'n'B stuff. It's too slow. and most female singers don't sing anyway they just whisper. i can't get it why people like Mariah Carey's music... | |

True. Alot of the stuff on the radio is crap. The other genres are just as bad sampling these grooves. And, then you go to club equally pissed. Because, you're like why don't you just play the entire groove instead of cutting it off in the middle. I am willing to bet most of the 20's crowd in that club dosen't even know who the song is orginally by. | |

That's what people tried to play up to create and promote disco. They figured they found/isolated that "hit" element that they could ride to the bank. They bastardized the funk. It's almost like House vs. Techno. I definitely agree though that I'll take some of the tolerable disco records and ALL the funk over anything in the 90s to now. | |

Nile Rodgers is a legend. My favs are Chic Cheer, Happy Man & Sometimes U win. All on the same album i think - all brilliant though. Makes u smile, makes u move - just as good as funk/disco should get. | |
