| Â | Chic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | To facilitate a separate but parallel (to Chic's) solo career for their lead singer, Chic had agreed to sign her to a separate contract and label from the band. | | | In late 1978 the band released C'est Chic containing one of their best known tracks "Le Freak." The track was created in an unusual and unconventional way. | | | Chic is an American musical group that was formed in 1975/1976 by guitarist Nile Rodgers and bassist Bernard Edwards. |

| Â | CHIC - History |
| | The importance of a band can be determined by their emulators, and Chic has had more than their share of those. | | | 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. |

| | 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. | | | 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". |

| | 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. | | | It proved to be a fantastically popular approach, but equally easy to imitate: within a couple of years the Chic sound was all over the charts, with plenty of rock acts jumping on the bandwagon (Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" is only the most obvious example). | | | 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. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | 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. |

| | 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. | | | Nile Rodgers continues to perform live in concerts and special events with a Chic grouping that is faithful to the classic music. | | | With the wind of Chic's success at their back, Rodgers and Edwards began lending songwriting assistance to other recording acts. |

| Â | And We Danced - Review of Greatest Hits by S.O.S. Band |
| | The band emerged in the early 80's with sparkling late-era Disco influenced strongly by Chic's Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards. | | | S.O.S. Band Greatest Hits is extensive enough (15 tracks) to include some tracks that haven't aged particularly well and sound like filler such as the Jam-Lewis throwaway Just the Way You Like It and silliness of Groovin' (That's What We're Doin') but most of these recordings are crucial to understanding 80's R&B and Dance music. | | | The band, an R&B/Dance outfit from Atlanta, Georgia scored 10 hits on the Dance charts in the 80's, 9 of which are included here. |

| | Thus comes this live CD of the number-one disco band's 1996 appearance in Tokyo, memorable for having been the last time that Nile Rodgers and the late Bernard Edwards, the Chic rhythm kings, played together -- Edwards died that very night in his hotel room. | | | Although she's fronted two electric bands (Lay Quiet Awhile and the Tantrums), Howle is probably better known for the charming and rambling spoken monologues she does between songs on stage (these were captured a few years back on an live album for Amy Ray's Daemon label). | | | They accompany each printed song lyric with their own commentary, and they end this tasty five-song EP with the Dead Kennedys' "Holiday in Cambodia" ("We are sick and tired of the stupid separation of hardcore/punk," the band note). |

| | The PR-party line on rock band Pilot to Gunner is this: Brooklyn band is so very unBrooklyn, so very unlike the meta-chic fashion-punk of Karen O, the opposite of slicked-down Interpol. | | | When bands come to town, they're preceded by onesheets - smug little ads, basically, that promote a group by appealing to a music writer's eye for phrase-turning. | | | Pilot's sort-of bad hair and a generally un-artsy image leave room for straight-ahead rock - the kind of angst-core you used to see coming out of Washington, D.C. (that last part was straight from the onesheet.) |
