Disco may have been the hottest sound of the late seventies, but in the summer of 1979, it was facing a powerful backlash. In the midst of this tension, one of the genre’s most innovative groups, CHIC, released “Good Times” - an exuberantly joyful song which would prove that dance music could be creative, complex, brilliantly produced, and incredibly funky. While the song may not have been able to save disco, it undeniably shaped the future of popular music for the next decade and beyond. Creative artists continually looked to CHIC’s track for inspiration, influencing the development of New Wave, and Hip Hop, and leading it to become one of the most sampled, inspiring, and important tracks in popular music history.
The single “Good Times” was released on June 4, 1979 - almost two months before the release of their third album. It hit the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 on August 18, 1979 and was the best selling single of Atlantic’s history up until that point. But more than being a commercially successive, massive hit, ”Good Times” revolutionized the way people listened to music in 1979.
Despite its immense popularity, disco was experiencing a massive pushback by rock fans, whose rallying cry of “disco sucks” dominated the summer. Disco Demolition Night on July 12, 1979, at a White Socks game provides a powerful example of this sentiment, starting out as a gimmicky attempt to boost attendance by offering audiences a chance to burn disco records during the break between a double-header baseball game. The event resulted in a massive riot, when tens of thousands of rock fans showed up - many without tickets - to celebrate their distaste for disco music. In the midst of this tension, Chic pushed forward capturing the attention of some of rock and popular music’s biggest artists.
In the height of the backlash against Disco, they proved that dance music could be innovative, exciting, funk….and lots of fun. After its release, major rock artists like Queen, David Bowie, and the newly emerging punk-inspired New Wave artists like Blondie, were inspired to bring dance-centered grooves into their own songs. The song remains one of the most sampled songs in music history and an inspiration for the generations of musicians who followed.

Chic are without a doubt one the most influential artists of all time. Who else do you believe we should feature?
Sloan
Chris Isaak: Wicked Game ( Did Jim Wilsey write the electric guitar part ?--If so, was he paid as a writer ? ( It' half the song) )etc.
As always THNX for a great video.
james brown!
@@Rigel7WasAlreadyUsed I remember buying 'One Chord To Another' great album!
@@bjarkertkjr509 great song! Good question!
Can anyone appreciate the cultural crossover of Nile Rogers learning about Hip Hop from Debbie Harry :-) Blows every stereotype like an atomic bomb.
And somehow Chic (the band) are *STILL* not in The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame as of 2021. Criminal.😔😔😔
WOW! That's amazing! They are so important!
Chic’s music always reminds me of fun time’s growing up…good times.
Agreed 100%! Thanks ever so much!
I can’t overstate how influential Chic were on me. Niles and Bernard, what a team.
Agreed 100%!
Absolutely..me too
Man...Disco is soo big, so revolutionary, so influential. And i love KC and the sunshine band.... it´s such a heavy funk band.
Nile Rodgers‘ riff is simply genius. 🤩
Yes! It certainly is
1975 to 1985 was an incredible decade of pop music when everything came together. Everybody (not only Chic) was being innovative, artists, writers, producers and record companies. In the charts you had punk, disco, rock, ska, pop, country, reggae, funk, jazz funk, soul, folk, new wave, new romantic, futurist, rapping, songs from the shows, kids songs and even comedy songs! It was like a giant buffet of music, something for everyone and they all sat there on the same table. Sadly the big record companies one by one ate up all these fantastic independent producers that created this diversity and along with the total support of the radio stations they gradually sold out to hip-hop, rap and the boy/girl band era. We went from musicians of the ilk of Level 42, Chic, Southern Freez, The Crusaders, Herbie Hancock, Bowie, Tears For Fears, The Police, Peter Gabriel etc etc etc to the likes of Stock Aitken Waterman and the cast of Neighbours! At least ABBA have shown that there IS a market out there for well crafted pop songs with melodies and positive messages and there has been a few rumblings in the music journals that pop music as we knew it may come back as people have had enough of the same old thing. Let's hope so.
P.S. Apologies for the rant but when you hear records like Good Times you desperately wish for those 'good times' again!
@ghost mall Yes, Daft Punk are very good and you're right with Nile Rogers onboard it can't go wrong. I think there has been quite a few solo female artists that have also produced some great songs, Sia 's first three albums are superb.
Bootsy said his signature star shaped bass was stolen once. Every where the thief took it they would say, that's Bootsys bass and eventually the guy just gave it back !!!!!!
That’s good to hear! Yes, how are you going to pass that bass off as anyone else’s! Haha
@@Producelikeapro You gottu feel it. Just like James Brown said.
Glad to hear Tony Thompson getting some love. Nice work, Blair Sinta.
"You cannot overstate how important theses guys were, this band was, these songs were" Word, Warren!
When it first came out, in the Black Community it had the same impact and meaning as 'No Woman, No Cry' - A song that speaks, in answer to the Social Construct, to the Heart of the Concerns of a Generation, the one that says, "Yes, we have had unspeakable, hard times, but whatever they say we are, we are not; so, Stay Good: Things gon' be Alright"
ABC’s Lexicon of Love completely blueprinted by Chic.
Savior Faire is their best instrumental song! Beautiful!
When I was a kid, I was pretty much a straight rocker, Aerosmith, AC/DC, ZZ Top, those were my bands. So when all my rocker friends would say “Disco Sucks!” I’d agree and say “Yeah, Disco Sucks!” Then Chic would come on the radio and I’d crank it up and start dancing. Nile Rodgers is a king, unbelievably great and influential player, producer, and songwriter.
I don't know about everybody else in here, but I'm definitely smiling.
Thanks ever so much! Huge fan!!
I'll be singing that Bass line for days. And it makes me smile 👍
Yes, wonderful Billy!
It's a joyous celebratory song steeped in melancholia.
Yes, indeed
This song is iconic not only was it sampled endlessly it also inspired other artist like John Deacon's bassline in Another One Bites The Dust. Chic is only recently being appreciated for what they brought to the music culture.
3 on the E, baby... Never gets old.
Jayme Lewis destroyed that bass demonstration! So so good. Pocket.
I must admit, I was not very open-minded when it came to Chic, even very recently, but an introduction to Bootsy Collins has given me a greater appreciation for the genre. Also, the more I learn about Nile Rogers, the more my admiration grows.
Well, Nile Rodgers, along with Stevie Wonder basically were a large part of the soundtrack of my youth. I remember when Good Times came out, it was played at roller rinks and block parties and of course part of every kid's mix tape. Another great analysis, Warren!
Depends on how old you are
they told us "Disco Sucks" in the late 1970's and they were quite wrong. Some of the most amazing music played by real musicians came out of that style.
Niles is a wonderful and a talent!
It's never to late
"Good Times" is one of the most famous samples ever for "Rapper's Delight." That is how great Chic were as a band.
Absolutely!
Sampled for Rapper's Delight, and copped by John Deacon for Another One Bites the Dust. Two songs in two different genres within just a couple years.
@@VinceWhitacre I have always said that the talented ones "borrow" and the hacks just steal.
Rather than Nile's explanation on the video, I'd suggest the origin of Hip-Hop is that it's the first two words of 'Rapper's Delight'
My understanding that the Sugarhill Gang didn't sample it. It was a band covering the song for them with only the strings extracted from the original song.
As a Black child growing up in Brooklyn, NY, I LIVED the Hip Hop era; and Good Times and Chic were among our most revered and sacred treasures of that religion. The only thing that came close, and MAY have even surpassed Good Times, was MFSB's - Love is the Message, which was, IMO, an even better record. This style of playing, the MFSB sound, is my strongest influence in the music I produce now and will always produce. I look forward to this channel doing a video on MFB's Love is the message, cause hey deserve it. Bless Sings 🙏✨
A song that defined the baby boomer generation who were teenagers or in their 20s during that era, great song, brilliant album too!
It’s influence was greater on Generation X, as all the bands that came after name checked and were heavily influenced by Disco, so Gen Xers, like myself who were very young heard the songs on the radio as preteens and incorporated into our music.
Yep, that was me back then, !!! Fun music to groove to and move to. A blast!
@@Producelikeapro What I meant by my OP is that that specific... The Baby boomers were the age demo and were the ones clubbing to this era
Some may like it, some may not.
Some do miss it, some feel the bloat.
Yet, no soul can deny the fact that disco has been maybe the most influential genre and the era of production style shaping and even partially being reborn in samples as the popular music of the last 40+ years succeeding it, and counting. :)
So, don't try to hide your stomping feet, bobbing heads and shimmying behinds people. We all are, by our nature, moved by it. :))
Now you have to do a Songs that Changed music for Hollywood Swinging!
Chic Is one of The best bands ia ALL times
Agreed 100%!
Don’t forget The Stone’s Miss You
I'm a rock guy, grew up listening to Def Leppard, Queensryche, Rush, Floyd, etc. I've played guitar since the early 90's
A few years ago I got to dep in a Chic/Disco covers band here in England. Playing clean funky guitar for hours on end has done wonders for my rhythm playing. Locking in with the drummer and playing those great great parts of Niles'
I always respected Niles before, but now I admire him
Warren: That is co-lead vocalist, Luci Martin on the left at 2:00. Cannot get enough of Chic... Well done. Cheers! 🥂
I LOVE Chic! I'm looking at my vinyl copy of 'Les Plus Grands Succes de Chic" (Chic's Greatest Hits) from 1979 as we speak, bought it back in the day. Every track a killer. Just fantastic, timeless productions. Bernard Edwards' bass playing alone is an eternal thing of wonder, never mind the wondrousy funky guitar and bass. I also love Kool & the Gang, KC & the Sunshine Band and Earth, Wind & Fire, all glorious stuff from that era. Great video, thanks Warren!
I played with Norma Jean in a Columbus, Ohio band in 76. Then she had to quit the group to move to NYC and got In Chic.
Goodbye Norma Jean.
..not just a song but an anthem !!
Jayme Lewis, what an awesome demonstration
Agreed 100%!
I was around 10 when this came out. Made such a huge impact on me. When I started having my own bands, I always looked for a funky bass player, no matter what style I was playing at the time.
Agreed! Well said! Huge fan!
The backlash against disco is interesting in itself. People were so ANGRY at disco.
Chic is my all-time fav dance act. Nothing comes close to Chic. And besides the magic of Nile and Bernard was the genius of Tony Thompson, what a genius drummer he was ! He is on so many hit records, it's mind blowing! Without Chic, the hip hop scene wouldn't have been the same and even nowadays, some young artists do the Chic thing. As a guitarist, Nile is one my heaviest influences. RESPECT 🙌
Thanks ever so much Steed! Yes, Chic are such a huge influence on me
Funk Rocks.
Yes!!! It does
(At home, he goes and plays, 'Good Times', in full, before commiting his thoughts to text) I really couldn't let this one go. You've slammed it again. A friend, a great bass player, took me on a wild venture of musical introductions, through Hendrix, Cream, Weather Report, Brothers Johnson, and many many more. So, when he brought Chic to me, early on, I gave it my sincere ear. He had pedigree. I was a guitarist, who learnt to play the bass lines first, because of my friend. So it's Bernard: Funky, athletic, controlled, sophistication. Well, then I learnt the guitar parts, Nile: Wow, loose, jazzy, shuffley, complex, when you add in all those sweet little extensions. In a short space of time, the sound got everywhere, Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, Sheilah and B Devotion. You're so right, a fabulous team, in the vein of Sly and Robbie (R.I.P.) Class Acts - Amen (think I'll listen to Le Freak, now - thank you)
Thanks for the amazing comment! Yes, such an incredible song, amazing performances and wonderful musicianship
Chic, mainly Bernard Edwards is why I play Bass today. This group was a heavy influence on my life, as well as Mark Adams (Slave), and Marcus Miller.
Thanks ever so much for sharing
Good Times seems to be the most renowned bass work from Chic. I'd like to note the incredible bass work of their song I Want Your Love as well.
Yes, great bass line! Le Freak is also a masterpiece
I had the Disco Sucks T-shirt. You should be dancin’, yeah! I loved watching disco albums explode on the White Sox field in ‘79. Won’t you take me to funky town. But I loved this song (and other disco songs) from the first time I heard it, and have never grown tired of it the three and a half million times I’ve heard it since. We’re on the Groove Line tonight. Great songs are great independent of the genre. Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen. Pick up the pieces.
The SWEET Chic! Another hit song (but less heralded then others) that is a cap doff to "Good Times" is Naked Eyes's "Promises Promises".
Just like "Wot" by Captain Sensible.
@@Saabmans and "Rip It Up" by Orange Juice.
I was aware of rappers delight, before I was aware of good times by Chic. (I was an 80's kid) That put me on the path for the next 20 years as an audio train spotter. I spent so many hours researching where the "breaks" came from that were the foundation of 80's & 90's hip hop tracks. When I started to DJ in the 80's I use to spin the originals and not the hip hop so much, as a scratch DJ.
I have seen Chic several times in the past 40 years and they are always great.
Amazing track. When disco still had SOUL.
Yeeeah Chic is amazing, love Niles Rogers, an awesome musician and he has such a calm and funky presence. I will never forget when doing spotlights for Chic how kind he and Cool and Gang were to us ✌Thank you Warren for this great series!
Nile is a huge influence on me!! What an incredible producer, guitarist and songwriter
@@Producelikeapro Awesome, I thought I can hear this influence in your productions!!! Such an amazing producer, I think he's having in office at Abbey Roads, right?
@@HitTheRoadMusicStudio correct, he's out there making great music! He's doing the new Zutons album!
@@Producelikeapro Awesome, looking forward to new great music from Master Niles!!!
How about Talk Talk for influential artist? Phill Brown says in his book that he got more gigs from working on 'Spirit of Eden' and 'Laughing Stock' than any other work that he ever did, and he worked with Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, Traffic, Bowie, etc!
Makes that kick drum look real to play!!
This song definitely changed music back in 1979, I can still remember the 1st time I heard it back in '79. Very influential to this day. Sophisticated Simplicity and Groove! The sound of the bass is very what did it and of course Nile's Rhythm Guitar!
Yep the Hollywood swinging secret 💯🎸
Props to Luci Martin. I've had a crush on her since I saw Chic on TV in high school, 1978. She's in almost all the videos and TV appearances. Why she's rarely mentioned is beyond my reckoning. But yeah, she rocks with the best of Chic. Alfa replaced Norma Jean, but Luci's there the whole time. I don't get it. By the way, that's a picture of Luci with Alfa's name under it. Ha ha ha. Poor Luci. Why? Ha ha ha.
Although Rapper's Delight DID used Good Times as the backing tune, The Sugarhill Gang DID NOT used the exact backing track of CHIC, it was totally re-recorded by session musicians.
That’s right!
This is so splendid, Warren. Big up to your boys, doing the part break downs. Happy smiles. 😊♥️😊♥️
Thanks ever so much
As a musician, you should do like Miles Davies. He only knew two kinds of music: "Good and Bad". And his covers were all over the place because his ears were everywhere good music was.
And good music is everywhere to be found if you keep your eyes... well, ears open.
Chic, Rodgers, Edwards... man, they are prophets! We just follow the path.
Johnny Marr states he was very influenced by Nile Rodgers and Chic. He even named his son Nile. “Barbarism Begins At Home” is a Chic inspired Smiths song that comes to mind.
Makes sense! We ALL loved Chic growing up in the UK!!
I toured for years doing Chic and Sister Sledge covers night after night!
When I saw that Fonzi Thornton contributed to Chic, I instantly thought of Avalon by Roxy Music, in which he contributed the stellar background vocal for that song. You might already have featured Roxy Music on your channel, but if not they would be a great one to do, maybe More Than This or Avalon from one of my all time favorite albums - Avalon. Thanks again for featuring such an important song/band in the history of modern music.
Roxy Music is definitely on my list!! Huge fan!
Frankie Knuckles once said that House Music was Disco's revenge.
I am now sure you have hacked my MP3 folder ! Great video Warren, so well explained!
Hahaha well, you must have superb musical taste
Good stuff, as usual, Warren. It was "Le Freak" which was the break out Chic track for me. It was disco but with sophistication and a funky groove. Also the instrumental break, majoring on the bass but with light guitar and simple strings - magic. I didn't believe they could produce anything as good but then along came "Good Times". 😎😎😎
Huge Le Freak fan!! Thanks for posting!
I did not know that Pink Floyd’s ABITW was also influenced by this song.! Thank you so much, Warren!!
👍🏻👍🏻 "Good times"/ "rapper's delight" was 1 of the top songs that made me want to learn bass guitar, as a teenager. However, I didn't BUY a bass guitar until I was nearly age 50... but this remained as the first groove which I couldn't wait to learn. It is just SO FUNKY. Cheers for making these videos!
Had a really "good time" watching this video. It was very "CHIC."
Hop into the Hip... now I understand eveything, the veil has been lifted
They were good times in 1977 if you look at the world at the time. It was difficult only in the context of America but on the whole America was still and has always been the place to be. And MUSIC through the entire '70's was amazing!
@ 16:00 = One of the greatest movies of all time playing behind one of the greatest bass lines of all time. That said, I think it would be educational to see this bass line on a midi/piano roll.
Class... seeing Chic live nowadays is a real showcase of well crafted tunes across the body of work (Chic, Ross, Sledge, Madonna, inxs, Duran...). Nile also treats us to tons of jazzy passing chords and partial inversions beyond what the record had which give the tunes new life too. Almost feel like he was cautious of adding blatant jazzy chords on the recording... well he don't hold back now! Needless to say his touring band are all superb too.
I love on your channel that you don't go around Funk and Soul music. I can't find that on Rick Beato youtube channel .Thank you very much for being the only one who remembered and did two interviews with a member of the band Jelly fish which we will also not hear on Rick Beato channel .One of the most underrated bands of the 90s !!! For me the favorite funk guitar players are : Nile Rodgers , Ray Parker Jr. , David Williams ,Paul Jackson Jr. Id like to see Songs That Changed Music: You Got the Love from Rufus and Chaka Khan !!!
Huge Chaka Khan fan! Stay tuned! Did you see the Aretha video we did? Loved doing that! Thanks for your support! It really means a lot! It’s very important to me to speak to everyone, o know that I’ve been told to just focus on one audience style and I can see that works really well, however my love of music is all over the place and better for it in my opinion!
This is a huge song that I somehow never get tired of hearing. Great groove and great video!
Thanks ever so much! Yes, love this song
Can I respectfully add “The Magnificent Seven” by The Clash to the list of bass lines and grooves inspired by “Good Times”. Thanks again Warren!
❤❤❤ all the influences and how Niles - makes sense re: "Hollywood Swinging" - shares it.
That baseline reminds me of Rapper's Delight
Absolute revelation. Thanks Warren!
Thanks Allan!
Nile Rogers also Co-produced David Bowies Let's Dance album at the Power Station studio in NYC! Post-Disco December 1982. I hated that record initially preferring everything else by Bowie. In hindsight it was brilliant of course and so is this song by CHIC!! :D
Indeed, the album is masterpiece!
Bowie wanted hits, which he got
What always got me what that Stevie Ray Vaughan played on "Let's Dance." I knew just by tone. Wow.
Shades of David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” (released in 1983) in Nile Rogers’ guitar riff. I never noticed the similarity before now. We all have stuff we like to go back to and use differently or that further inspires us. Niles got a “two-fer” out of that riff. Lucky for us!
Just a great groove!
This was the bassline that motivated me to start again with playing bass after 30 years.
Gonna pull my bass out and practice Good Times with a few chords and strings. Who’s gonna check me Boo? 🎸❤️🎸
Fabulous stuff the strum pattern on those 2 chords 0n rhythm guitar is infectious and Dan fit into many beats
Masterpiece indeed!
AWESOME ...Just the baddest ...I wore the intro to my 12" out completely by the mid 90's, a dance floor monster...The Skids...Into The Valley with T.V Stars on the flip....\o/ Albert Tatlock \o/
So cool! What a masterpiece
It's sort of crazy that just 3 days ago I listened to this song for the first time in a long long time and now here this is! And I immediately wanted to learn the guitar part and well, here we go!
Bloody amazingly awesome, Sir Warren!
Great video, as usual. Thanks! Late 70's disco/funk groups are always amazing. Commodores, EW&F, Chic, Ohio Players etc. Great musicianship behind pop, danceable songs.
Agreed 100%! Thanks ever so much
I am a huge Chic / Nile Rogers fan and was lucky enough to see their show at the Roundhouse in Camden a few years ago. I am also old enough to remember the singles in the UK charts! Thank you Warren for casting your spotlight on this 'impossible to over-estimate their importance' band. I quite agree with your assessment (as I usually do). Keep up the great work!
A fantastic video for a hugely important song.
The braying mobs: Disco sucks! etc
Disco: If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can ever imagine.
Disco is slain. House music is born. We all know the rest.
PS hope your hand gets better soon, man.
Thanks ever so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!
is the bassplayer trapped in some halloweenworld? frankenstein jr. in the background, freddy in the corner, little classic monsters in the back-i love it.
Awesome. Thanks : D
Thanks Arthur!
Incredible song
Agreed 100%!
I think the first time I ever heard Chic was when I Want Your Love came on the radio. The bass, the vocals, the bells, it had such a cool sound. Chic were always so stylish and classy, the music exuded that upscale dance club vibe.
I love that song! I played Chic and Sister Sledge songs for years and loved it!
@@Producelikeapro The Shane D special edit on UA-cam is great! Such a funky groove.
sO FUNNY you talk about it today Warren ! I discovered them one week ago, with the song "Lady" from Modjo which sampled this song from Chic. That's funny ! ^^
Good one. Thanks
Thanks ever so much Zeus!
It was actually Omar Hakim that played on most of Bowie's Let's Dance album.
There’s 8 songs, Omar played on 5 and Tony on 3.
@@Producelikeapro Yes, I only mentioned it because the drummer in your video said Tony played on most of the album and he didn't. And Omar played on all the massive hits, Modern Love, China Girl and Let's Dance. Not trying to split hairs but rather give Omar his due.
1:59 I believe that's
"Luci Martin", and Norma Jean Wright, in the photos.
This one was inevitable! And you delivered it in your inimitable way. Not bad for your wounded wing!
Haha thanks Ray!
As always great! Thanks.
Thanks Serge!
My goodness, so sorry about your wrist. Hope it recovers soon and completely ;) Thanks for following up with
the "Another bites..." story :)
What an awesome group, always learn so much here!
Thanks ever so much
Absolutely !!!
Thanks Kelly!
You’re right! Very influential group! Great video again sir!
Thanks ever so much
these videos never cease to amaze me
So sorry to see you've broken your wrist, Warren!
Hope it heals marvellously well, and soon.
Thanks ever so much
One of my early and almost vanished memories in life is watching my mother rehearsing choreography for her dance group while this song was played over and over. Those were good times, literally.
Thanks for bringing me such good memories, Warren. You and your friends make a very important service to the history of music.
Cheers!
I love this song, a true classic! I had seen in another video (about Roxy Music) that Edwards bass line was inspired by “Love is the drug”. I can definitely hear the influence. Regardless of any of that, it’s an infectious groove that will be played forever.
