Chic
 

These cats don't have their own thread and considering how huge they were in their day I think they deserve one. Musically, they're very, very far outside the kind of stuff I'm normally drawn to being so soft and poppy and whatnot, but I got a copy of their greatest hits a while ago basically just because I wanted the song "Le Freak". What I was amazed to discover was that every single song on the collection was pretty terrific.

For your listening pleasure, "Le Freak":

My flatmate has spent a lot of time trying to emulate Bernard Edwards' bass tone/style with his Stingray. :D

I've heard and like a few of their songs other than Le Freak but I've yet to listen to any of their albums.

Could you send me the chic album please? This song is just so brilliant:



and I have been wanting to get an album for ages.

Watch the skies for my signal. ;)

The sky is very quite.....;)

Sorry, I've been really busy yesterday and today. I'll get this to you as soon as I can. Don't let me forget.

Hey mate, no worries. I know it will get to me no worries :)

The two albums you ought to be looking at are-
C'est Chic,- released here in '77 and Risque, released in '78. This is the album which has "Good Times" on it!! They contain some of the best of the Disco movement, and are widely acclaimed. Bernie Edwards and Nile Rodgers wrote and produced both Chic and Sister Sledge and the result is Classy and Sassy! :)

nice to see some more fans of them. I got all those Chic and Sister Sledge albums myself. Among the finest of their genre I think... :)

Have You Heard Any Of The Re-Mix Tracks Of Chic And Sister Sledge? Definitely Worth A Listen. :)
