CHIC
Writer / producers Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers first met in 1970 and were regularly recruited for various recording sessions and performances. In 1977, they formed their own group, Chic. The line-up also consisted of drummer Tony Thompson and vocalists Norma Jean Wright and Alfa Anderson.
Chart success began in 1977 with the #6 US hit "Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah)". The following year, "Le Freak" topped charts in numerous countries. "Good Times" became the funk / disco band's 2nd American #1 single in 1979.
Along with releasing a solid body of work as Chic, Edwards and Rodgers wrote and/ or produced many hits for a wide range of artists. These included: "We Are Family" (Sister Sledge) and "Upside Down" (Diana Ross).
Rodgers has collaborated with the likes of David Bowie, Duran Duran, Bryan Ferry, Madonna, INXS, Daft Punk and The B-52s. Edwards joined The Power Station with Thompson, Robert Palmer and members of Duran Duran.
Chic had disbanded in the mid-1980s but re-formed in 1992. While touring Japan in 1996, Edwards died of pneumonia. Today, the act tours and records, billed as Chic featuring Nile Rodgers.
