| | Chic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Chic is an American musical group that was formed in 1975/1976 by guitarist Nile Rodgers and bassist Bernard Edwards. | | | Right after the sessions ended for their debut album, Chic began to work on Norma Jean's self-titled debut solo album, released in 1978. | | | Chic also helped introduce the world to a up-and-coming young vocalist named Luther Vandross, who sang on several of Chic's albums. |

| | CHIC - History |
| | The album spawned the hit "Frankie", but the song "The boy most likely to succeed" is the best reminder of Chic in the groups heyday. | | | This was the first Chic produced album that failed in a big way, and it sounded the death knell of the producer team of Nile and Nard. | | | In 1992 Chic released Chic-ism, (review), their comeback album. |

| | The whole album was a turntable wear-out for 1978 and made Chic superstars. | | | The next few Chic albums were largely high-quality affairs, but they were victims of the disco backlash. | | | While their creative peak was brief, lasting from 1977-1980, during those years the Chic sound was everywhere, to the point where critics recognized them as the dominant influence of the era. |

| | Chic Streetman |
| | Chic's music transcends cultural and attitudinal barriers, bringing home his message of equality and racial harmony through acoustic bluesy ballads, funky rhythms and jazzy upbeat originals. | | | Chic also composed the music for "Permutations", a segment of PBS's "Great Performances" presentation of George C. Wolfe's "The Colored Museum". | | | Chic returned to the States and settled in Santa Barbara, CA where he founded Chic Street Man's School of Performing Arts while continuing to perform shows with some of the folks who were at one time his idols... |

| | Chic was the brainchild of guitarist Nile Rodgers and bassist Bernard Edwards, who stripped disco of its usual glossy production, bringing it down to bass, rhythm guitar, and 4/4 drums (played by Tony Thompson), with minimal string and keyboard sweetening. | | | I rated C'Est Chic higher for historical value and because it's more representative of the band, but this album is just about as solid, and more consistent. | | | The musicians are Chic plus Robert Sabino, Andy Schwartz and Raymond Jones on piano, Sammy Figueroa on percussion, and the Chic Strings. |

| | With the wind of Chic's success at their back, Rodgers and Edwards began lending songwriting assistance to other recording acts. | | | Chic, one of the most successful and certainly the most influential of all Disco bands, found its center in the revered rhythm section of Bernard Edwards' bass and Nile Rodgers' scratchy rhythm guitar. | | | Sales of their first album Chic were strong as well. |

| | This album is unique in the Chic catalog as it shows us the Chic sound as it is being fine-tuned into the precision, airy funk that characterized their next pair of (and 2 biggest) albums. | | | As far as the tunes themselves go, "Chic" is their most stylistically varied album made until the aforementioned "Take it Off". | | | Although it doesn't stand quite as tall as "C'est Chic" or "Risqué", Chic's debut effort stands on its own in the Chic catalogue, and is a much-have for understanding this band's musical origins. |

| | "Chic's third album is a stunning showcase for the work of Rodgers and Edwards, who are fast proving themselves as consummate craftsmen in the classic pop tradition of Phil Spector and Holland/Dozier/Holland. | | | The untypical Chic hip-hop song "Let's Bounce" featuring Erick Sermon plays at the end of the movie "Rush Hour 2", which was released in 2001. | | | "Chic Mystique" reached number one on the Billboard Dance Chart in the USA in 1992. |

| | The band was during 1998 working on a Chic live LP and were also working on the video of "Le Freak" live in Japan with Slash on lead guitar. | | | There were two singles released from the Norma Jean album and both are really some classic CHIC type of songs and they are really worth checking out. | | | Up 'till now Chic had been more of a studio project, but with the success of the two singles the demand for live preformances arise and as Norma Jean was contractually bound to a solo career on Bearsville Records, she had to leave the band. |

| | Pale skin, dark circles underneath eyes, and jutting bones were seen on runway models showcasing the "heroin chic" look. | | | Fashion designers, models such as Kate Moss and James King, and movies such as Trainspotting were blamed for glamourizing the heroin chic look and lifestyle. | | | Heroin Chic was a fashion trend in the mid 1990s that characterized the looks of a terminal stage drug addict. |

| | Middleton article, ECHO volume 1 issue 1 fall 1999 |
| | [Listen to an excerpt from VU's "Heroin"] Though some expressions had certainly been made in rock music of affinity for drugs, the Velvets' first two albums explored the body and consciousness of the user of harder drugs—heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine—with an unprecedented explicitness and a new affective style of distance and disengagement from the audience. | | | The articulation between these practices is expressed in the lyrics of many Velvet Underground songs, such as "Sister Ray," about a cross-dressing heroin dealer who, along with a group of other drag queens, seduces and shoots up a group of sailors, leaving one dead. | | | Cobain's heroin use was imbricated with his acts of negation, as he responded to social expectations of his role as hero rock star by the very denial of his embodiment of such ideals, and magazine photographs documented the steady withering of his physical being and finally his suicide. |

It is a development, they say, that sends the wrong message to children and teenagers about one of the world's most addictive and dangerous drugs. | | | Robert Triefus, a senior vice president at Calvin Klein, says there is no connection between heroin use and the ad campaign. | | | A coalition of parent-led antidrug groups is calling for a boycott of designer Calvin Klein's products to protest a new ad campaign that they say glamorizes heroin addiction. |

| | Baltimore City Paper: ARTS How Rent and Today's Smack-Obsessed Pop Culture Made Heroin Chic |
| | In the same way, heroin abuse will be with us years after the phrase "heroin chic" has been relegated to the scrap heap of media mal mots. | | | What's more disturbing than the projected shelf-life of the heroin-chic trend is that it's dangerous to tell people their deaths mean something other than their dying. | | | So the heroin addict, that pale ghost-in-the-making who, in the words of Trainspotting's Renton, "chose not to choose life," has become the poster child for '90s individuality--just as Mimi once stood for 19th-century victimhood. |

| | hang on, the Velvets song is called Heroin, not Heroine and it was written and published in America, so either Lou Reed can't spell (an entirely plausible explanation) or this girly, french-looking spelling of 'Heroine' is moonshine cooked up by junkies to make themselves look more chic than the squat-dwelling, vein-structure-collapsing reality... | | | The fact that he's straight away on Radio 1's Showbiz news, and describing his story using a Libertines lyric... | | | I'm not a massive Libertines or Babyshambles fan (quite like the first Libs record, that's about it), but this madness needs to stop. |
