	Chic
		Chic was the brainchild of guitarist Nile Rodgers and bassist Bernard Edwards, who stripped disco of its usual glossy production, bringing it down to bass, rhythm guitar, and 4/4 drums (played by Tony Thompson), with minimal string and keyboard sweetening.
		Rodgers and Edwards were still in great demand as producers, but for some reason they felt compelled to put together another Chic LP.
		Rodgers does slip in some examples of his terrific rhythm guitar work ("You Are Beautiful"), and there are a couple of memorable tracks ("In Love With Music"), but most of the disc would've been better left in a vault somewhere.

	Produced by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards
		Nile Rodgers' guitar break on the title track is outrageously good, and the track is insanely energetic.
		Yet Nile claims "Our concept was to make it more avant-garde, and their concept was to make it a little bit more accessible and commercial." Diana's vocals on the CHIC tracks are gutsier performances.
		Nile Rodgers definitely produced her "Invisible Hands" track from "Invitation to Dance" in 1983, but there's a rumor she worked with CHIC earlier.

	JamBands.Com - August 1999 - Strangefolk Introduces The Chic Nile Rodgers To Its Garden of Eden
		This release, which is tentatively scheduled to appear in late January or February is being produced by noted musician and studio stalwart Nile Rodgers.
		I knew that Strangefolk was in the process of finding a producer, and I thought that this would be an interesting combination, to bring together his sensibilities which are grounded in 70's classic funk but obviously extend much further, and mate that with the grooves of Strangefolk.
		I remember when Luke was laying down some stuff on drums, Nile would just sit down next to him, bob his head and listen "yeah, yeah, right on, that's it." There's something about that- he's definitely a good coach and an inspiring figure.

		Indeed, the only area Rodgers hasn´t been successful in is as a performer; his 1985 LP, B-Movie Matinee, fizzled, with the single "Let´s Go Out Tonight" reaching only number 35 on the R&B charts and completely flopping otherwise.

	Review of 'Everybody Dance: Chic and the Politics of Disco' on the official website of Laura Hird
		Nile ends up in a house band in New York, he jams with Hendrix, he has an original style (you can recognise Rodgers’ guitar, rhythmic, funky, it’s just his), he’s a star-waiting-to-happen.
		Rodgers was a shit-hot guitarist, Edwards a great bass-player, and they had great ears.
		One of the Chic voices, Luther Vandross, records ‘Young Americans’ with Bowie, and Rodgers eventually produces Bowie’s biggest-selling album, ‘Let’s Dance.’ Rodgers himself is inspired by a sighting of Roxy Music on British TV, so inspired he models Chic’s stage persona on the arty posers, and rips off their album covers.
