RIP Alfa Anderson (who became a lead singer when one of Chic's original leads, Norma Jean Wright, left the group in 1978, having previously been a backing singer on the band's eponymous debut album)

Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards better have made a fortune from "Good Times", considering how often it's been sampled, covered, and shamelessly interpolated.

Disco music, by its nature, demanded exceptional musicians, arrangers, and producers due to its intricate composition. The genre's multiple layers required precise synchronization to achieve the desired effect. Considering the technical constraints of the era, only highly skilled individuals could accomplish this. For more insight, see the "Production" section in the Wikipedia article: https://w.wiki/Av7n.

Usually I don't like remixes, but this one is great: https://www.last.fm/music/Chic/_/Le+Freak+-+Dimitri+From+Paris+Instrumental Found it on my Release Radar playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/7qwo3xfKiBdpP42i37LTKX, and it is also available as an embeddable video on YouTube.

Dimitri From Paris is v respectful to the source material. Nile even selected some of his remixes to be included on this Chic Org. retrospective compilation: https://www.discogs.com/Nile-Rodgers-Presents-The-Chic-Organization-Box-Set-Vol-1-Savoir-Faire/master/1410945

Word, Chic's influence goes way beyond their own genre. '77 must've been an incredible year to be alive as a music lover. What with punk and disco both hitting mainstream, and leaving a huge imprint on all pop music that came after it.

The Chic box set is an absolute treasure. The best £15 I ever spent on music.
