It was 'Nard's partner Nile Rodgers who said it. But ALL Chic's basslines are hot. With a bass player like Bernard Edwards how could they not be? Ya know.

Chic were THE disco band!

Just yesterday,I was listening to Chic's 1978 album 'C'est Chic'.Remember the ballad "At Last I Am Free"?



"At last I am free,I can hardly see in front of me
I can hardly...see in front of me"

That song moves me like you wouldn't believe.

see dont get me started on Chic in a good way of course..Benard and Nile genius... created thier own sound... the minute you hear Benards bass... uoi knew it was a chic track or something Benerd and nile produced... everybody dance... sheer excellent classic indeed "music.. never lets you down"... indeed it dont... sweet pick Deja btw Hello Daaavid

when I moved to NYC in 90 after college (I'm that old?) I saw Nile in a bright yellow trenchcoat at Au Bar. A friend of mine mumbled "that's gotta be a thousand dolla' coat" and Nile turned and said "2."

You have direct t.v. dont you?

Chic is the best rhythm producers of the period of the late 70's and early 80's. Even Queen was so impressed with Good Times that they copied it with Another One Bites The Dust ( they daid so themselves and u can just plain here it). Nile and Bernard were the shit. Plus they were dap as hell. Jimmy and Terry are def influenced by them musically and visually imo.
