Nile Rodgers

He was the composer of the hit song "Freak Out". He got the inspiration for the song one night when he couldn't get into the Studio 54 disco. The song reached hit number one on the charts.

David [David Bowie] sees the world through abstract but precise details. Before we wrote Let's Dance, he walks in one day with a Little Richard album cover. Little Richard is wearing a red suit, and he's getting into a red Cadillac, and his hair is out to there. And David says, "Nile. That's rock'n'roll. That's what I want my record to sound like." Let's Dance's cover is a homage to that, and David's hair is out to there.
