#CHIC #LeFreak #TheChicOrganization
I’m 65 and the 70’s and 80’s music always bring back such great memories. So glad we will always have this music.
no doubt about it im 59
Happy listening
I'm 63, and I just love music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
Idemmm
I am 70, have this long player lp and like that groove 😀😀🎸🎉🇩🇪
RIP Alfa Anderson. Thank you for being the voice that brought Nile and Bernard’s incredible music to life.
She was great
😢
I always admired her style and singing,, 🙏
Another small piece of my youth washed away. Though the music will live on.
We Love you
Real vocals****
Range....
Showmanship....
What we grew up on....
I can't explain how much I love classic 70's/80's funk songs.
Ok so is this R&B, Disco, Funk or Soul?
I hear you.
@@unclegardener It's Chiiiccc.
@Fonz Goose. 👍🤣
Must explore p funk
You have no idea how big this song was in Nigeria. This defined our youth. Thanks Nile Rogers and Chic, for Le Freak.
Really?
Nice! It's Nile Rogers that brought me here.
I'm with you, Nigeria. That silky funk
Perfect example of “when everybody does their part on the group project”
The bass, guitar, drums, violins, keyboard, singers, just the entire way this song was composed, it’s got 70s disco written all over it 👏🏾👌🏾👏🏾
yeah it's because it's a 70's disco song, who would have thought?
I hear the funk!
👍
My favourit bass line ever, whos on the Bass ?
and they have clothes on!!!!!!
When you've got Bernard on bass, Nile on guitar and Tony on drums, you just cannot fail. One of the greatest rhythm sections of all time.
💯% you got that right brother. It’s perfect in its’ style, integrity & simplicity.
C'est Chic was the first LP I ever bought, and I still have it to this day, and play it on occasion!!
I totally agree
As Diana Ross,Madonna and others found to their "cost"
I'm TELLING you! Three of the most talented musicians this world has ever seen, and they never get their due.
Im leaving a comment so that after a month or a year or a decade when someone likes it i get a reminder to listen to this beautiful song again.!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😱😱😱😱😱😱😱👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Get back in here! lol And be ready to shake yer a$$ (cuz it’s impossible not to)
One year passed.
😂
Done!!
Rest In Power, Alfa Anderson. Another great member of my 70s childhood passed on to higher glory where she's singing in God's Angel Choir.
Man. Nothing absolutely nothing like the 70's. That goes for all Genres.
I never knew she had gone. That is sad news.
Damnnn, that bass is off the chain!
Preach!!😂😂
Sure is
I am 65 years and I grew up this music during the 70's and 80's. I will never get tired listening this music.
Me too!
Me 3
I thought this song wet out in 1997, at least that what google says
Yeah. Serious groove!
Me too 🎶🎶❤️🎶🎶
Now THAT´S a bass line, ladies and gents.
Bernard Edwards was THE man. Learned a lot from figuring out his bass lines. R.I.P. Bernard.
Nard' was the man - thank you brother - RIP
I agree
Its funny to see none are plugged in, ahhhh the old days.
And the rest of it aint too shabby either!
I’m 54 and I still love this song!!!!! They don’t make songs like this anymore! It was genius at that time. Soul, funk, disco, r and b and u throw in the classical violins. I’m in awe!
NOW this is REAL music. Anyone else?
sheeeeeeiiiit u awready kno
Very few songs can stand the test of time.
@@Tinytunes-25
Dance in the feckin train ?!
Beat!
B.Edwards and N.Rodgers are genius¡¡That bass line is amazing¡¡
This music will never get old.
R.I.P. Alfa Anderson. You brought a lifetime of joy, happiness, and love to millions of people!!
Jesus H. Christ, Bernard was an absolute MASTER on that bass! May he rest in peace. He certainly left his mark in this world.
Dont say the Lord's name in vain
@@vortex900enterprise4 Sorry! I didn't mean to offend.
@@vortex900enterprise4 Jesus Christ is fake
Yes he did!
I really don't think he used Bernards name in vain here.
I could listen to that groove for 24 hours straight and not get bored. Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards are incredible.
I know right.
Sho you right June 19,2024🎤🏆
Le Freak is super disco music!
“Alfa Anderson was my chorus teacher, yet she was so much more than that-a celebrity, a mentor, a friend, and an endless source of inspiration. She had a way of making you feel like you could do anything, like you could truly find your voice. She unlocked my love for making music and helped me overcome my fear of production. Her presence was simply magical, and she inspired everyone she came into contact with.
I was so happy to know her, and in my youth and immaturity, I didn’t even realize at first that she had been part of the legendary group Chic. But even before I knew that, I respected her deeply for who she was-her wisdom, her kindness, and her ability to bring out the best in those around her.
Alfa, thank you for all that you taught me. Words can’t fully capture how I feel or the hurt I carry now that you’re no longer with us. But know this: I will never forget you, and I’m sure everyone whose life you touched feels the same. You were truly one of a kind, and your legacy will live on forever.” 😢❤
I wish Disco never died.
The coolest thing that happend
There's a way to revive it,by opening up a disco only club.
@@dimensionexo. If people are ever allowed to gather in big groups again.
@@franklofarojr.2969 Indeed.
Is not dead yet darling 😎
That bass line.
Ayy
Gods
What a slapper, big pp
Bernard Edwards
A clue: Token Black from South Park.
One of the greatest bands ever. Pure magic.
Lo mejor de lo mejor ❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy listening
Don't stop enjoying
Possibly THE best disco era song ever recorded.
Nile Rodgers really deserves to be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame. Also so cool that a song with violins actually has violin players in the video!
Love that ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I remember being surprised to see that, the first time I saw he video.
He is in
One of the classiest disco hits ever! Very sophisticated yet so danceable. One of my all-time favorites.
This song still sounds good 42 years later. I remember listening to this in 1979 when I was in High School. Good music never gets old.
Yessir! That was my official theme song in High School too!
Me too! This was popular when I was a senior in high school. It was SO cool then - still is!
Do you remember the line dance that we danced to
Same here. I was a junior when this came out. Fantastic era for music.
That bass is a relentless groove
I'm 75 years old and this brings me memories of the 1970s my favorite decades.
You should listen to: La Toya Jackson - My Love Has Passed You By (1980) 🌹
Wish you were close, we would dance up a storm
I miss the70's!❤
20 yrs behind you feel the same way! Good music takes us there its magic!
😢the 70s were the best years for me. I am 70 now.
Bernard Edwards not only managed to play that sick bass line, but he did so in a business suit. The man should have his own wing in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for pulling that off.
You're right that is a great bass line.
This was a time when people did use clothes, Mr Bernard looks very good in his suit...
not taking anything away from bernard’s great bass line, but in this film they’re all miming to their own prerecorded studio track and not playing what we’re hearing… perhaps he wore the suit in the studio when they recorded it… 🤷♂️
One of the greatest vibrations ever created in the universe! This video deserve at least 10 billion views!
100%
They're killin' it!! What a groove!!
My lord... groove is unstoppable
Can't get no better than 70's R&B, Funk, and Soul!!!
So sad that my generation today isn’t like this :(
What do u mean? You are like this. Forget the rest
One of the best bass lines in the business, the solo bass part in the song is priceless,,
Never tired of listening to this timeless classic!
Nile Rogers: legend. He combines rock-'n'-roll, funk, & classical all in one song. Thank you Let Chic!
One of the BEST Bands of the Disco Era. RIP Alfa Anderson your gift will never be forgotten. ❤
ABSOLUTELY 💯
Incredible hit, who’s still here ?
It's 2021 already.
this qurantine.
No one cares what year just be happy your still listening to it
😋
i just found this song
Atlantic records biggest selling single to this very day. A monster tune. This is real Disco music. Chic changed the dance game.
A number one song on the R&B, Disco Dance and pop singles chart Le Freak sold over 2 million copies
😲
Wow! They don't write music like this anymore! The 70's was the best decade for music, in my humble opinion.
Timeless!! Im Genx but raised on soft rock, then I found metal, punk, rap, Techno. Everyone says the bassist is one of the best ever.
I remember people couldn't get enough of this one. It debuted in Nov, 1978 and was in the top 40 for almost five months and number 1 for 6 non-consecutive weeks. A great time and memories for me and still listen to all the music from that era.
HUGE
This one was one of several "Christmas Gift Singles." People bought them as gifts too. Check the charts and so many songs stayed #1 in December because of gift sales. This one was an absolute monster though!
That Guitar Riff!!! It's in my bones!!! Disco hips and pointing is imminent!
Rest in Peace Alfa Anderson. Co-Lead Vocalist of Chic 2024 ❤!
God bless Alfa Anderson and her family, she will be missed but will always be remembered for the joy she brought with the music she sang.
Nile Rodgers is an incredible talent. I'm happy I got to be alive at the same time as the greatest funk guitarist of all time.
He's funk IQ is insane
kikikiki
No not just one of the greatest funk guitarists just one of the best guitarists full stop that's all a great man
l'important dans le funk et le disco c'est la musique qui est derrière qui est hyper recherché et qui pourtant semble simple et limpide juste pour nous faire danser... très intéressant c ' etait ...
Don’t forget Bernard Edwards
One of the best funk tracks ever
The man is a bassist out of this world!😅
Late Bernard Edwards left his mark with this.
everything from the outfits, the fashions, colors, the rhythms, violins.. actually the entire presentation.. it just doesn't get any closer to perfect than this.
One of my all time favorite songs...I am a child of the 70s, born in the 60s...I'm now in my 50s...If I live fifty more years, I will still want to get down and move to this beat...Life furnishes the RHYTHM...
I was born in 1975 but i wish if if lived in 1950s , 1960s and 1970
hit song of my schooldays..
love the memories it brings...
Same, born in the late 60’s. I remember grooving to this song at skateway roller disco, had my own skates, with hand painted markings on them. For a few years we lived on our skates.
Ah freakout
Most people don’t give the drummer some but the drummer is killer and deserves credit and recognition as well!
The great Tony Thompson who later played for the Power Station.
Agreed
@@mediasawdust2458 that one off album was awesome way back in 1985 !!!
He is the real MVP! Love it!
Tony Thompson...a bad man!
This is a masterpiece. The bass note bend during the solo and the diminished chord at the "Savoy" part. They knew what they were doing.
46 YEARS OLD. PURE CLASSIC. NOVEMBER 2024
Between Chic and Sister Sledge there were so many amazing dance tunes back in the day. And now, we can still get to dance to them and i still love them just as much as i did back then. Nile is still a legend x
I too am 69 and grew up hearing the best in the 70s and 80s...today's generation is lost on social media and attention seeking that's all.
RIP Alfa Anderson, thank you for the music💔🎶❤️🥰❤️💃🏽
This is one of the best disco hit's of all time, classic record
When music was MUSIC!❤
👍Verdade, concordo com você plenamente
Lovely.. My first disco.. Paris
Yes indeed ❤ & look @ the ladies clothes, didn't need 😂to be to be half naked either ❤ Nile Rodgers is on guitar! Jammin out! New generation take note ❤
God himself Was with us on earth.
Yes!!
Rest in peace. Thank you for such wonderful music.
The bass-lead instrumental part from 1:40 to 2:44 is absolute magic! If your foot doesn't tap, you must be already dead.
The best👍
to get a whole minute dance break in a short track is how i like it. awesome stuff
Alan ! I liked your information . 👍
You're absolutely right!!!!
check out dreyboxx on TH-cam
This band has the most underrated bass player.
He was not underrated!! EVERYBODY.... knew Bernard Edwards was the best with Louis Johnson as well!
Not true...
That's not true at all!!!!
Yes, and Tony Thompson was an underated Drummer. Hard to believe this was inspired because they weren't allowed in Studio 54.
Not true, everyone related to this genre knew who Bernard Edwards was, an absolute legend on the bass🔥
One of the greatest songs ever made. Hands down
Maybe back then but I can’t agree with you
Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Couldn’t agree with you MORE!!!!!!
Remember the days of dancing to this song!!!!!!
What an incredible and most memorable time of my life!!!
Couldn’t wait for this song to be played at the discos! You would automatically jump up, and dance!!!!!!!!😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Enjoy
Keep on enjoying
Agreed 😂
R.I.P Alfa. Thank you for your iconic voice and gorgeous presence in one of the greatest bands in music history. ❤
Also, R.I.P Tony and Bernard. One of the most iconic rhythm sections in music.
I cried when the Disco era ended. It was here for a good time not a long time
One of the greatest disco hits for ever
Everything about this music clip is pure perfection 🎉
Man the memories. RIP Queen.
Totally underrated this band deserves to be in the R&R Hall of Fame the bass and guitar riffs are classics
Dealing with chronic illness listening this to kick it ass and raise above it.
So many memories associated with this song. Heard it first time on the high school disco dance floor. Also met my future wife that night. So many happy memories with her. Thanks for all the love, Honey. You're still my rock.
Greetings from new zealand 🇳🇿 55 yr old kiwi, disco lives forever, music is freedom 🌏 🎵
Never been a big fan of disco, but this song is one of the finest compositions regardless of genre, and the break that begins at 1:40 just takes it up to another level entirely! Freakin' brilliant!
Le Freakin' brilliant, you mean.
that, my friend, is Niles Rodgers!
You got it man, exactly from 1:40. I love it also.
they were invited to join a friend in Studio 54. but that friend forgot to put them on the gießt list of Studio 54, so they weren't allowed in by the bouncer....
that is the song about that fiasco. their first number one Hit too... lol
@@TremereTT where did you first hear of this story?
The instrumentation in the music of the 70's was unbeatable and there was no choice but to dance and freak out!
You should listen to: La Toya Jackson - My Love Has Passed You By (1980) 🌹
Man the bassist is one of the best!! Plays so clean!!
@@boywonderrr717n
Better than 99% of todays music.
could not agree more
Oh god
I havnt heard a good song since 1989
Don't y'all get tired of complaining about todays music? Like just enjoy the song, you'll feel better.
@@naaavy3571 my boy getting offended 😂
Absolute masterclass!! Guitar, harmonies and style. Real, genuine talent.
I’m not a big fan of disco but this song is definitely the best of the genre. The guitar riff and the baseline is some of the best of all time
Nah you’re a fan of disco. Everybody is.
The best Disco songs have unforgettable basslines🎶🎶🎸
I don’t know which one I love more.
That killer bass from Bernard Edwards.
Or that classic, amazing guitar playing by Nile Rodgers. So goooooood!!!
30 yrs of listening to Le Freak. Never tired of jiving. After so much listening, the structure of the song is amazing.
I LOVE it!
Incredible bass line
We need music like this again
Life was so much better in the 70's 😍 Great music, dancing and the fantastic clothes 🥰
Good old days
As far as I’m concerned this was the sound of the late 1970’s and early 80’s . . . my god Chic were superb and with Nile Rogers on rythum guitar and Bernie Edwards on that superb bass you couldn’t lose . . long live the 1970’s because if you were a teenager at this point it was a fantastic time to be alive.
Yep, we were BLESSED!
So true!
It was a total joy to experience these times. So glad to have lived these special moments in music.
Can't forget Alfa and Luci.
F’n right my friends and I went to the disco’s every night best time I ever had.
That’s a really great song.🎹🎤🎼🎸🎺🎷🎤🥁🎻
1:40 Bernard and Niles taking the groove to the next destination!
I, was 11 in 1977 when this came out!! I’ve got over 100 45 rpms from1977. -1982 . Most of which I, never played still in sleeves. There in a fire proof box now! 😂😊
That string arrangement, those progressions are FIRE!!,
Yeeeeeeeeees!!!!!!!!
Absolutely Agree.
It sure does!
Rest in Peace Alfa Anderson, you've earned your wings to join all the great Queens👸🏾like Aretha, Whitney and Donna Summer in their choir🙏🏾🌷❤
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you make great quality popular music with class and talent. A lesson, really.
A sleek flow of sound with just the right degree of snappiness in it.
The greatest group of the disco era ! They just kept pumpin good songs with great beats one after another . God I miss those times
The best bassline ever
“Good Times” would like a word with you. 😆👍🏻
Na toy story
That bass guitar ! 🎸 😍
Rest in peace. Thanks for the great music and memories.
One of the real masterpieces of late 70s funk/R&B. Songs like this at this time shot across all the divides and reminded us that we all belong to the same family.
One of the top 10 dance songs of the '70's!
The smoothest. Ever. Now this is REAL DISCO...OFTEN IMITATED, BUT CAN'T BE DUPLICATED.
RIP Alfa Anderson this song was a banger.
Back when black music was beautiful, cheerful, full of life and positive messages. Unlike now, where it glorifies violence, drugs, gang culture etc.
@TheBedroomBassist of course, I'm using my critical thinking. See, gangsta rap and such genres have not been chosen consciously by the majority of people - they have been imposed on them. We should ask ourselves why the big labels and the major producers have been pushing black communities to shift their identity towards such a self-destructive subculture.
Racism, by the record labels to promote that self destructive music & supported by people behind the scenes.
If they hadn't been turned down at Studio 54 from getting in after Grace Jones invited them, then this song would have never existed. The Bouncer deserves our thanks.
With this song alone they deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
this is disco though
@@SaneTheBro
Oh of course, only Rock and Roll allowed, like...
Gladys Knight, Joni Mitchell, The Mamas and the Papas, James Taylor, Isaac Hayes, Percy Sledge, Miles Davis, Leonard Cohen, Run D.M.C., Public Enemy, Donna Summer, Hall & Oates, Linda Ronstadt, Bill Withers, N.W.A., Joan Baez, Tupac Shakur, Nina Simone, Janet Jackson... did I forget any true R & R artists?!
@@DerEchteBold ABBA, Bee Gees, Earth, Wind & Fire, Jacksons 5, Nile Rogers from Chic (notice from Chic) are in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame too.
@@victor1978100
Haha, Nile Rodgers actually is?!
I was kinda scanning through the list, must've missed that, thanks!
you mean the disco funk hall
My 9 year old requested to hear this song this morning!!❣️ 12-19-24😊🙌🏾✨
Bernard Edwards, My man slammin that bassline! RIP
you bet,,,,,, he's one cool cat,,,, with really cool crafty bass lines,,, not in just this song, but all of his stuff. he's a master bass man. class act.
Yes! One of the greatest bassists of all time. Such sick grooves.
Is he the one wearing glasses?
It ashemd that bernard left us in 1996
He was a genius. And Nile Rogers. All of chics hits are absolute classics.
I don't know a more electrifying and catchy rhythm than the bass of this song...Simply spectacular...!!!!
One of the best surprise hits of all time...I think this came out in 1978 when I was 13...the whole damned nation thrilled to the beat and rhythm of Chic's Le Freak...
When I was a young boy (growing up in Africa), this song was played every weddings!
