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.
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!😃
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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)
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.
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
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...
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.
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 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 !
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.
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. :)
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
"Everybody Dance dododo Clap Your Hands, Clap Your Hands!!!!!" Am working remotely listening to music, was playing slow jazz when this just popped up and started playing. Was going to go back to the slow jazz music, but I JUST couldn't let go of this amazing disco funk so I'm just letting it ride. By the way Nile Rogers is a beast on that guitar interlude! This song makes me happy! From a Sista from Brooklyn, NY
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
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!
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
Chic was and always will be an awesome band. One of the greatest bassists of all time was and will always be the great Bernard Edwards and let's not forget one of the greatest drummers of all time will always be Tony Thompson! They are both gone but never forgotten. Nile Rodgers you are a true genius!
joaquim martins Hey Joaquim! Thanks for the comment! I may be young but I am an old soul at heart. It helps to have older relatives with great tastes in music. It has influenced me a great deal!
You're right. You and your relatives have a great taste in music. It's unbelievable how the people at that time could make such a great music. Everything was great, the voice, arrangements, instruments. It was made with heart. A truly art. I don't know how we lose this. Here, in my country was the same. They made great music between 70's and 80's. Now they make a very poor music.
Hi Joaquim are you from Spain? I'm from where Motown started. I think it really does boil down to music execs who are willing to promote real artists, singers and musicians. I believe they are out there. Execs just don't seem to promote them half as much as they used to though. So genuine talents in music seem to be few and far in between in my opinion nowadays. Thank goodness for youtube. At least I have discovered great artists from the past and present through it.
Hi Dana. I'm from Brazil. Did you notice my accent? (just kidding). I think you've got a point, but sometimes I think that nowadays the people think about music as a way to make a lot of money. They don’t really love the art. They don’t do their best. Have you notice that they are smiling and very happy on the ancient videos? I’m not a musician. I’m just a IT executive but I can realize that now people think too much about money and it’s not good for art, sports and other areas where talent really means.
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...💃☺ 💙💛🌹💜🍎🇺🇸
WHEN YOU HEAR THIS YOUR HEAD AND FEET CANT HELP BUT MOVE, ITS FUNKY AND SOUL FILLED MUSIC I LOVE THIS TYPE OF MUSIC, I THINK ALL CHIC SONGS HAVE BEEN HITS, HER VOCALS AND THE BROTHERS ON THOSE GUITARS AND DRUMS ARE JUST HONEY POURED INTO YOUR EARS.....GREAT TUNE DEFINITE CLASSIC.
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 💯💪🏼🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷💯💪🏼😎👍🏼
What an AMAZING guitar duo in Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards!! Nile is truly a gifted, talented guitarist, song writer, and producer!!!! Bernard RIP!!!
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.
This was the follow up single to Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah), Chic’s first hit. Everybody Dance peaked at #38 on Billboard’s Hot 100, #1 US Club Play chart.
Nile Rodgers, one of the most talented dudes ever! I so miss Disco, & even though I’m almost 60, (don’t move like I did back in the day), Disco Music (especially jams by Chic & Nile Rodgers), still makes me wanna get up & dance! I don’t care what anyone says, DISCO IS NOT DEAD! It’s still alive in those of us still around to enjoy it! PEACE & LOVE

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
ABSOLUTELY!! 70's music will bring back JOY that is missing in America!
Said this loads of times 100% agreed.Closer to God and His vibe
That opening bass riff is iconic. 40 years later and still no other bassist has ever played it this well.
Sho' you right, Matt!!! Bernard Edward was the Master at his craft...
ua-cam.com/video/TDwutKpVyas/v-deo.html
Nile and Bernard let Sister Sledge do the singing.
Inspired me want to play bass.
Sounds like jamiroquai
@@iBlancoUC That's a good observation!
Wow, the 70's. Worked nights at an electronics co., and spent my days with friends, the beach and the great 70's music!!! ❤
Rhode Island has Leviton Mfg. and the Beach too.
😊 " CHIC " IS A GREAT BAND 🎉 THESE SONGS " NEVER " GET OLD !!!! GOD BLESS ALL ✝
Good Evening from Colorado --- and may God Bless You!!!
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!
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.
@@JohyeahM The BASS makes the difference. R.I.H(EAVEN), Bernie E.!!!!!
3:00-3:30 master class chops
@@gravityalwayswins1434 Can't get enough of that GROOVE!
Absolutely!! Are you kidding me?
Of course people bring the best music of our time ever, back Please.
RIP... Bernard Edwards. The bass line n NIle Rodgers Rocks!
Yup nile Roger you got it
😊
Still jamming to this in 2023, never gets old a hit
I so agree, loved dancing with this song at the disco !!!!
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 .
I wasn’t even born when this came out but this music moves through my soul like I lived it. Great music!
:)
Penso la stessa cosa!!😊
I was and this was the bomb 💣
And that's alright. 👍🏽😊
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.
The 70 s and 80 s had the best music

By far
70s 80s through 1997
This bassline is friggin legendary

Here for the sick Bernard Edwards basslines! R.I.P. to a legend.
Always the good music from the past my style have fun or how ever you feel for it , its all Good.
I was a 70's child and even to this day the song never grows old, pure disco magic ..
LP:n paras kappale.
i just want to feel the thrill that you had when you listened this song for the first time in 1977.. i really envy you
The high energy in this track is incredible. Respect to Chic.
Sorry I was dancing
@@NormAppleton No apology necessary but accepted no less.
takes ya back
@@NormAppleton we are dancing for 46 yrs now. Cant help
70s was the best era, surely no one can argue with it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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!
CHIC CAME INTO OUR LIVES AND DEFINED DISCO...BERNARD EDWARDS AND NILE ROGERS...PURE GENIUS
The last parts of the song Bernard totally lets it loose and went nuts. I am still picking up my jaws off the floor when I hear that.
OperationEndGame You are right
Mind-blowing voice of a female singer! I have listened to it 100 times, but it is always as fresh as a beautiful day.
Yes sir! Between Luther Vandross on those background vocals and Bernard Edwards on that bass, this song will forever be a classic track!
Never knew Luther was on this 😳
Luther Vandross? Dont think he was on vocals. He never fronted for Chic.
@@kaushikganguli1091 One of the best backing Vocalists out there in his early years...even backed David Bowie live in the 70s
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.
The Bass playing is phenomenal
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!
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.

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)
A true gem from our generation. Chic nailed it with this tune.

It's astonishing
for making magic

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.
All I can say is wow!
those lucky enough to have lived in the 70's knows that it was the best time to be alive...
So agree
Tony Thompson was a master on the drums. Still one of my all time favorite drummers.
Amen on that he was formerly wit LaBelle.
Yep, damn good.

Music is supposed to make you feel good
Or like Bob Marley said "the thing about music is, when it hit you, you feel no pain!"
RESPECT FOR ONE OF THE GREATEST MINDS OF ALL TIME, WHO PUT JAZZ INTO DANCE MUSIC.
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
I swear one of my all time favorite songs since I was a child in the 70s! In the early 2000s I was still playing this strolling in downtown ATL
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...
That description is just perfect.
That sounds like a rare concert.

Check out THAT Bass line by Bernard Edwards and then that gorgeous chord change! Then the beautiful Melody that nails it! Thanks again Nile!
I was havin a down day then this came on in the grocery store and all was good that point forward. 70’s music forever!!!

joaquim martins Hey Joaquim! Thanks for the comment! I may be young but I am an old soul at heart. It helps to have older relatives with great tastes in music. It has influenced me a great deal!
You're right. You and your relatives have a great taste in music. It's unbelievable how the people at that time could make such a great music. Everything was great, the voice, arrangements, instruments. It was made with heart. A truly art. I don't know how we lose this. Here, in my country was the same. They made great music between 70's and 80's. Now they make a very poor music.
Hi Joaquim are you from Spain? I'm from where Motown started. I think it really does boil down to music execs who are willing to promote real artists, singers and musicians. I believe they are out there. Execs just don't seem to promote them half as much as they used to though. So genuine talents in music seem to be few and far in between in my opinion nowadays. Thank goodness for youtube. At least I have discovered great artists from the past and present through it.
Hi Dana. I'm from Brazil. Did you notice my accent? (just kidding). I think you've got a point, but sometimes I think that nowadays the people think about music as a way to make a lot of money. They don’t really love the art. They don’t do their best. Have you notice that they are smiling and very happy on the ancient videos? I’m not a musician. I’m just a IT executive but I can realize that now people think too much about money and it’s not good for art, sports and other areas where talent really means.
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.
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!
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.
I'm 65 and I was there for all of it

Me too - I'm 59...
What a legend
I'm 22. I wish I'd been there...

When Music was not just for the money, it was art
Yes do!
Perfeitissimo
True . It was entertainment for entertainment's sake . A pleasure for the musicians as well as the listeners .
WHEN YOU HEAR THIS YOUR HEAD AND FEET CANT HELP BUT MOVE, ITS FUNKY AND SOUL FILLED MUSIC I LOVE THIS TYPE OF MUSIC, I THINK ALL CHIC SONGS HAVE BEEN HITS, HER VOCALS AND THE BROTHERS ON THOSE GUITARS AND DRUMS ARE JUST HONEY POURED INTO YOUR EARS.....GREAT TUNE DEFINITE CLASSIC.
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 💯💪🏼🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷💯💪🏼😎👍🏼
What an AMAZING guitar duo in Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards!! Nile is truly a gifted, talented guitarist, song writer, and producer!!!! Bernard RIP!!!
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.
Never a truer word spoken....brilliant.
I wish there was a time capsules that I can go back into the 70s just to relieve my childhood I have always loved this song 😍
This was the follow up single to Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah), Chic’s first hit. Everybody Dance peaked at #38 on Billboard’s Hot 100, #1 US Club Play chart.
This is the shit right here. Would have loved to live in the '70s.
I did brother,it was all some

Tony Thompson is my favorite drummer even to this day!
One of the greatest band in the 70 love them 💙💙💙👏👏👏💙💙💙
Timeless funkiness, what a bass line! Shivers to the spine, oh Shivers to the spine!!!
The 70’s had some great music. Nothing today even remotely brings such happiness just my opinion
I have not listened to Chic in years....Once again I can't stop listening to this timeless music!
Nile Rodgers, one of the most talented dudes ever! I so miss Disco, & even though I’m almost 60, (don’t move like I did back in the day), Disco Music (especially jams by Chic & Nile Rodgers), still makes me wanna get up & dance! I don’t care what anyone says, DISCO IS NOT DEAD! It’s still alive in those of us still around to enjoy it! PEACE & LOVE
It should be a felony to funk this hard.
I am getting ready to call the police right now. :0)
