      My God, he died! RIP as well as Tony Thompson who of course would be part of the Power Station. It's hard to believe they are still not in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. They put the Bee Gees in before "them". In the Mid 2000's the UK Girlband Girls Aloud did their homage to Chic by singing this song. Isn't it amazing they wrote this song after being rejected an entrance into Studio 54 as guests of Grace Jones. They mentioned The Savoy and has hard as they tried it couldn't hold a candle to Studio 54.

    1977, eu tinha 8 anos no Jardim Brasil SP. Não dançava (porque eu não sei dançar), mas adorava escutar. Chic, KC, Bee Gees, a turma toda. Anos depois um amigo meu me apontou para o swing e a técnica da dupla Rodgers & Edwards. Só então percebi que eram gênios. Nile Rodgers parece ser um cara gente finíssima, sempre tranquilo e sorrindo. Fora que deu uma mãozinha para gente como Bowie, Duran Duran e Stevie Winwood. Seu último grande sucesso (até onde sei) foi uma colab com o Daft Punk. É o tipo do cara que toca com todo mundo nos bastidores e não liga de aparecer porque tem música no lugar do ego. Sou fãzaço
