You know what... Most people rave about Nile Rogers, and yeah, he's a force to be reckoned with. But for me...Bernard Edward's basslines were what made Chic interesting. Next level.
Thank You Chic for your music. I'm a former member of the Sister Sledge "We are Family Tour" and soon after I started recording and people would say your music reminds me of Chic. My response: I grew up in the Bronx and Chic is from the Bronx, I toured with Sister Sledge, Chic wrote for Sister Sledge. We had a lot in common. Anyway I'm returning to the recording industry with new songs on Phase 5 Records. Doug Payne & Polygon
Chic took disco to a new level, how could you not be mesmerized, Bernard on that funky bass, Luther in the background, the arrangement, wow Tony Thompson on drums, do I need to go on, Chic was pure magic.
Not at all! Long live the bass! That really makes disco/funk music- one of the influences of another favorite genre of mine: house! Look up the bassists Allisia and Thundercat, keeping the funk alive! 💜
No undertones about sex, no violence, no drugs, just innocent lyrics about being happy, having fun and dancing. That's what we need to get back to. And also for anyone saying we need to bring back the 70's, I agree. The style was cool
The music of 70’s... l’m 66 my boys are in there early twentiies and tell me Dad thanks for getting us into your music! Older black people look at them and are amazed smile and say how do u know those songs? Makes me smile!😃
Without claiming that I was "born in the wrong generation" simply because of music taste, I will say that I'm very partial to 70s funk and disco- even as a millennial. Future Funk and French House partially help to revive music like this and give it a new life to a generation like mine. This song helped power me through a tough few months during the early stages of the pandemic. But even setting aside my personal attachment, there's a real craft to how this music gets me on my feet to dance around in a way that club and house music today simply never has done.
Listen to the phat bassline from Bernard, and unbeatable drum beats from Tony Thompson. It laid the foundation for the house, disco house, french house, future funk decades later.
@@bumly7149 Bless Your heart!💕 Yes, those were the days, it was a Special time, for sure... I'm so thankful for all the marvelous memories that I have to look back upon...💃☺ 💙💛🌹💜🍎🇺🇸
Here's a tidbit for you, folks: the intro bass line was actually Bernard's warm-up riffs before Nile heard it in a rehearsal session, and decided to make a song out of it.
+queen jayy Can I say nigga too or is that against the rules? Not sure if I can only say it when in conversation with a black person or not. I think I already hear the PC Police pulling up outside.. fuck..
I know I’m late but To be fair this was one of the songs that kenji Yamamoto used to plagiarized for the budokai games.(if you ever played dragon ball z budokai)
chic is the reason why i fell in love with disco music. i came from techno house to disco because it has so much soul. nile rodgers is .....indefinable to express in words. ...he and giorgo moroder are the disco gods for me.
Seeing Chic perform this song live last summer - 2015! - had me crying, fanning myself, and dancing like a hysterical church lady crossed with RuPaul. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Bernard's gone, but his funk survives...
I was just 15 years old living in São Paulo Brazil and having fun. At that time I tought I was going to listen music like this for all my life. I was wrong. It was a very special moment for the music. All the instruments, arrangements, vocal, back vocal, everything was perfect. I'd like to thanks specially to american artists who make me happy until now with their art.
The key ingredient for the perfect disco song was simply orchestration. Artists like Chic, Barry White, and Cerrone knew this, as well as my favorite Alec R. Constandinos- his disco symphonies are priceless. No, there will never be a time again when the passion and thirst for disco consumes you. But, if you put a great disco LP on your turn table, plug in those christmas lights and begin spinning around to the music, something magical will happen and you will be teleported back in time to your bedroom when you were a teenager...... just keep your eyes closed until it's time to flip the record over.
There are so many riffs here, it is like a collection of catchy hooks. The bassline! The "do-do-do-do"!, the piano line! the bridge with the guitar and the vibraphone!
Undoubtedly Chic mustve been the best band of the Disco era, they were original, they had a fresh sound which was different to what was out there, thanks to the brains of the 2 geniuses Edwards & Rodger, who formularised and manufactured that unique Chic groove to the fullest, that one stage they becam the most in demand producers in the business
I am SO glad that I grew up in a time that GREAT music like this came out and helped changed musical history. I am VERY fortunate to have grown up to THIS and OTHER GREAT music that everyone is trying to flat out COPY today. It doesn't get ANY better than the REAL thing and THIS IS the real thing!!
***** It's a nice dream, Heather. If I were in LA, I would be more than happy to lend my voice to a project like that. For now, we'll just have to groove on with these recordings.
***** Hang in there, Sister- there are cats in LA that share your same dream. It will happen under the stars. Keep the faith, and the never lose your groove. Peace and Love~
***** I don't live in LA- I live in Houston, Texas. I used to be a bass player, BUT due to a car accident, I am only able to play for a few minutes. If you have the energy and talent, just start doing it and it will attract others like yourself to want to join you- If you have ever been part of the music scene and you have a certain talent that YOU excel in, make sure to get that info out there so you can attract the right people for doing this- If you ever get something going, I would be honored to hear some of it. Have a wonderful day and keep the GREAT music,sister!!!! May GOD bless you and your talents!!!
as for me i was born in the 80's and i totally feel masterpices like this one here! it is crazy how talented musicians were back then, god bles the 70s ans 80s !
Just saw them live yesterday here in Barcelona and I have no words to describe how good it was, the band is super tight and its just a rain of hits that keep on coming
This song takes me places I truly missed, wishing I could reverse time backwards and live life to the fullest even more..I can never get enough of this song...

Bravo, Mr. Warner. From my viewpoint, the L8, GR8 Luther Vandross' awesome vocals on the chorus (along w/Ridgers' guitar, Edwards' bass, & Thompson's drumming) make this a timeless CLASSIC.
"Everybody dance, doo doo woo clap your hands, clap your hands x2" I feel just like I am dancing on the dance floor by the beat only listening to this. This is The Chic's magic.
Absolute banger - now this is music! Not the utter crap out there in this day and age! These people had talent! Not autotune and a machine to loop a beat.
If you are like me and are people of a certain age then only you can appreciate what a very special time we were living through in our teenage years, to have music as good as this we were certainly blessed and we didn't even know it. A track of the highest order from the superb Chic"
LOVE THIS ITS THE GREATEST SONG OF THE 70'S. I WAS BORN IN 1979 , TOO YOUNG TO KNOW WHAT GOOD MUSIC WAS THEN , BUT NOW IM GROWN AND DANCING TO THIS BEAT. :)
As an 80s baby who grew up in the 90s, and always being obsessed with House music, I have so much respect for disco. I wish I had been there in the 70s. This is probably the earliest music I really enjoy. Apart from classical. Timeless.
Bernard is right up there with Sir Paul McCartney & James Jamerson at Motown as one of my all time favorite bass players. What a talent and yes I'm always clapping my hands or tapping my feet whenever I hear his awesome grooves. :)
+T Scott You're probably right about that but I think Paul gets overlooked because he's known primarily for being a prolific songwriter. To the naked ear you know when something sounds amazing. His basslines are like his voice, so incredibly melodic both with the Fab Four & his solo stuff with Wings
I am just so over the moon to hear this again I just loved this when young 57 now, dancing like I did in discos! Just great, musicians, guitars fantastic, whow great! 😁😁😁💖
I totally agree saw them for the first time this year, they opened for a band or group called Duran Duran? Chic could have played for 2\3 hours. Didn't know Neil Rogers wrote for so many artist!
Antoinette Scott true dat this the tolls skate days then to b buying when rock steady etc esteemed the building back in 79 when I was 8or 9 at da time !timeless memories
Nishata, I understand, don't cry honey. You are VERY LUCKY to have been here, and have been old enough to appreciate this era of sensational music. God bless you sweetie.
Gil 180 BX man this is classic classic classic music and like I always keep saying that the 70s and 80s were the best years in music history 💯💪🏼🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷💯💪🏼😎👍🏼
Dam.! This song Brings me.straight all the way back to late 70s n i was only like 9 or 10 year old! Im 49years old. Now how time flys! I love you all of you!
Boa noite pessoal,O balanço dessa música é sensacional, não tendo comparação com as porcarias de hoje.Esse clássico da dance Music é de 1979,ano de ouro das músicas internacionais.
@jon jon goufema liames zenbin pinfen meu prezado amigo, é muita emoção lembrar das meninas de saia jeans e meias brilhantes, quanta curtição Boa colega, nossa geração foi privilegiada!
The thing is back when we first heard this sort of music it was totaly new our parents had listened to 60s stuff, to me it was a bit boring. Suddenly its1975 and you are in high school and around 13/14 and you hear Disco! It was a moment I'll never forget your ears suddenly heard things they had never heard before, your toes were tapping and you wanted to dance like the the dancers on Soultrain, it's sound and energy brought black and white kids together, here in Britain. I remember getting my first job on a building site and listening to this new music, on a Friday night going out to the local Disco, standing by the speakers feeling the bass beating inside you and then plucking up the courage to get on the dance floor and learn to dance. Brilliant days, music was for good, love and happiness. Today's kids I don't understand, they have more than we ever had but they are so angry even their music is angry and not nice, all to dark. Shame really as when they experience Disco/funk/soul they have exactly the same reaction, like a light bulb moment and I love it. Life don't get easier as you get older but one thing I'll take we me when my times up is I was there when the sweetest sounds hit this planet and I'm so glad and lucky I did, love and peace.
Wow, the 70's. Worked nights at an electronics co., and spent my days with friends, the beach and the great 70's music!!! ❤
❤ Chic. 2024 Still. Listening. ❤
Of classic never dies
Clap your hands,

Heard a classic house remix, but now I'm hooked to the original too. That baseline is soo funky.
U bet!
Ultimate wall of sound floor filler
That fuckin’ bass!! Bernard Edwards is a LEGEND!!
Sad dude don't get enough love he nor Louis Johnson
You said it
That's some serious bass going on with this record. Chic at it's best, slick yet funky and jazzy and yes, disco
That man is bad!
This is so true, BERNARD IS,at times the forgotten half of CHIC! AND THIS IS A REAL SHAME, I MEAN " THAT BASS!" IT'S THE DRIVING FORCE!

Said this loads of times 100% agreed.Closer to God and His vibe
The 70 s and 80 s had the best music
I agree !
The bassline to this track is just insane! Bernard Edwards was a genius.
You know what...
Most people rave about Nile Rogers, and yeah, he's a force to be reckoned with.
But for me...Bernard Edward's basslines were what made Chic interesting. Next level.
As good as Bernard was, it's the warmth of his basslines it's so calming yet exciting at the same time.

Inspired me want to play bass.
Sounds like jamiroquai

roller skated to this,,, have the 12 inch version of this on a record to this DAY
Same . A pleasant reminder of back-in-the-day when hanging out at discos wasn't so political .
Bernard Edwards' bass line here is marvellous! A piece of art!
Exactly and he plays so effortlessly. RIP to one of the baddest BASS players ever
Yeyeah'
Is this funk or disco?
A little inbetween?
@@NormAppleton Enimmäkseen kyllä.
I wasn’t even born when this came out but this music moves through my soul like I lived it. Great music!

Good Evening from Colorado --- and may God Bless You!!!
Chic took disco to a new level, how could you not be mesmerized, Bernard on that funky bass, Luther in the background, the arrangement, wow Tony Thompson on drums, do I need to go on, Chic was pure magic.
I disagree, they were incredible but made us look back at disco and made us realize a lot of of it was good.
Plus you didn't even mention Nile Rodgers who orchestrated the whole proceedings!
Chic was the best disco group❤
Chic was a next-level band, without a doubt!
I never left the 70s. We had the BEST of all Genres so why leave!?
Not to sound like a current generation-bashing old guy, but this is a real bass track.
Bass player is a freaking artist .. funk you say ? man

The high energy in this track is incredible. Respect to Chic.

Maybe you were. We are all attracted to music that just hits us. No time or limits involved.
At least we were born and lived AFTER this kind of great music! At least we can all enjoy it now!

I was there in the 70's. Disco is still my favorite.
Chic is Disco but it's also Funk. It's hard to categorize. Nile the string section arranger...
classic can be good for some settings, you should try it in some specific setting and see how well it fits.
Yes I do...magical era the 70's...deserve a second chance to come back!
One of the greatest groups to ever bless our beautiful planet with their amazing music 🙌🏼
Bernard is right up there with Sir Paul McCartney & James Jamerson at Motown as one of my all time favorite bass players. What a talent and yes I'm always clapping my hands or tapping my feet whenever I hear his awesome grooves. :)
Why you mentioning paul McCartney? Bernard and jamerson are leaps and bounds better, they have groove and soul.
+T Scott
You're probably right about that but I think Paul gets overlooked because he's known primarily for being a prolific songwriter. To the naked ear you know when something sounds amazing. His basslines are like his voice, so incredibly melodic both with the Fab Four & his solo stuff with Wings
Shane Anthony true, I'm not denying his talent but I just don't really like his style.
+T Scott Mccartney is another style, as you say...better not to compare... but, have you heard "Arrow right through me", from 1979? It's kinda groovy
+T Scott and also "Goodnight Tonight", from he same album... maybe he listened Chic a lot that year...
Happy to find new favourite songs still, chic is great!
I am just so over the moon to hear this again I just loved this when young 57 now, dancing like I did in discos! Just great, musicians, guitars fantastic, whow great! 😁😁😁💖

The 70’s had some great music. Nothing today even remotely brings such happiness just my opinion

Boa noite pessoal,O balanço dessa música é sensacional, não tendo comparação com as porcarias de hoje.Esse clássico da dance Music é de 1979,ano de ouro das músicas internacionais.
@jon jon goufema liames zenbin pinfen meu prezado amigo, é muita emoção lembrar das meninas de saia jeans e meias brilhantes, quanta curtição Boa colega, nossa geração foi privilegiada!
Esse clássico é de 1977
The thing is back when we first heard this sort of music it was totaly new our parents had listened to 60s stuff, to me it was a bit boring.
Suddenly its1975 and you are in high school and around 13/14 and you hear Disco!
It was a moment I'll never forget your ears suddenly heard things they had never heard before, your toes were tapping and you wanted to dance like the the dancers on Soultrain, it's sound and energy brought black and white kids together, here in Britain.
I remember getting my first job on a building site and listening to this new music, on a Friday night going out to the local Disco, standing by the speakers feeling the bass beating inside you and then plucking up the courage to get on the dance floor and learn to dance.
Brilliant days, music was for good, love and happiness.
Today's kids I don't understand, they have more than we ever had but they are so angry even their music is angry and not nice, all to dark.
Shame really as when they experience Disco/funk/soul they have exactly the same reaction, like a light bulb moment and I love it.
Life don't get easier as you get older but one thing I'll take we me when my times up is I was there when the sweetest sounds hit this planet and I'm so glad and lucky I did, love and peace.
The very best Disco band money could buy. Who's banging in 2020.
Loooooove the bass and piano, Wish most music today had more of that funkiness and richness!
My favorite Chic song!
MINES IS I WANT YOUR LOVE 4SURE! ! ! ! !
