<<<THE T⏳ME CAPSULE<<<

LE FREAK

Chic

1978

U.K. - #7; U.S.A. - #1

Trivia:

After Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards were refused entry at Studio 54 during disco's halcyon era, they decided to jam instead. The result was a song telling the popular venue to "f@#! off". The lyrics were changed and evolved into a song by their group Chic celebrating Studio 54. "Le Freak" became the best selling single on the Atlantic label, also topping the charts in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
