NOW this is REAL music. Anyone else?
sheeeeeeiiiit u awready kno
Very few songs can stand the test of time.
@@thejtrax
Now THAT´S a bass line, ladies and gents.
Bernard Edwards was THE man. Learned a lot from figuring out his bass lines. R.I.P. Bernard.
Nard' was the man - thank you brother - RIP
I agree
Its funny to see none are plugged in, ahhhh the old days.
And the rest of it aint too shabby either!
This brings back memories.
Who's here in 2024?
Me!
❤ the Italian loverlon man😉..Chic forever 💪👍☝️
Who's here wondering how "the culture" went from this literal masterpiece of musical composition to the trash I hear in '24? The 70s had to be so awesome!!! At that time this song was LIT!!! You know when they played this in '78, ALLLLLLLL the strippers where claiming this jam!! Just wanted to say I wish more modern music had such complicated, inventive, well played, harmonic, ORIGINAL, music to offer us. Love this track. Anyone else in 2024 really appreciate this level of talent?
@@feeshforlife9853 Scherzi gli Chic sono ineguagliabili 👍☝️💪
Free willy, buff huff n puff big daddy.❤
I am 65 years and I grew up this music during the 70's and 80's. I will never get tired listening this music.
Me too!
Me 3
I thought this song wet out in 1997, at least that what google says
Yeah. Serious groove!
Me too 🎶🎶❤️🎶🎶
Perfect example of “when everybody does their part on the group project”
The bass, guitar, drums, violins, keyboard, singers, just the entire way this song was composed, it’s got 70s disco written all over it 👏🏾👌🏾👏🏾
yeah it's because it's a 70's disco song, who would have thought?
I hear the funk!
👍
My favourit bass line ever, whos on the Bass ?
and they have clothes on!!!!!!
I'm so glad I was a kid in the '70s and got to experience the amazing music. There's no other music like it. What a great song!
you do know this is from bbno$'s latest song "lil' freak (starring MoistCr1TiKaL)"
@@onioncuttingninjaPretty sure this came first lol. But yes lil freak is amazing
@@Cavlar69i think this person is playing a joke, nevertheless you’re right lol
I'm so glad I got to experience this with music with you growing up. I'm just so grateful that we're going through life together. Love you twinnie! ❤
This has always been one of my favorite songs. It brings a smile to my face listening to it.
Im leaving a comment so that after a month or a year or a decade when someone likes it i get a reminder to listen to this beautiful song again.!
I wish Disco never died.
The coolest thing that happend
There's a way to revive it,by opening up a disco only club.
@@dimensionexo. If people are ever allowed to gather in big groups again.
@@franklofarojr.2969 Indeed.
Is not dead yet darling 😎
When you've got Bernard on bass, Nile on guitar and Tony on drums, you just cannot fail. One of the greatest rhythm sections of all time.
💯% you got that right brother. It’s perfect in its’ style, integrity & simplicity.
C'est Chic was the first LP I ever bought, and I still have it to this day, and play it on occasion!!
I totally agree
As Diana Ross,Madonna and others found to their "cost"
I'm TELLING you! Three of the most talented musicians this world has ever seen, and they never get their due.
This music is actually of my parent's time, but I've been obsessed since I was a kiddo. Still a banger today!
I could listen to that groove for 24 hours straight and not get bored. Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards are incredible.
I know right.
That bass line.
Ayy
Gods
What a slapper, big pp
Bernard Edwards
A clue: Token Black from South Park.
This song still sounds good 42 years later. I remember listening to this in 1979 when I was in High School. Good music never gets old.
Yessir! That was my official theme song in High School too!
Me too! This was popular when I was a senior in high school. It was SO cool then - still is!
Do you remember the line dance that we danced to
Same here. I was a junior when this came out. Fantastic era for music.
That bass is a relentless groove
From the mid 70s to 1982 was the best music from Rock to disco to country to pop!
I would extend that to 1988
Real music. Clapping in the solo, that is a concept of ages
Incredible hit, who’s still here ?
It's 2021 already.
this qurantine.
No one cares what year just be happy your still listening to it
😋
i just found this song
I was 17... I was in the hospital. I had been a passenger in a car wreck that broke my back. 😔
This song came on and it was still pretty new. I was up dancing in my hospital room.... I was doing the freak.... and by the end of the song.... me and two nurses and the guy who delivered food was getting DOWNNN in my hospital room. LOL
Yeah yeah I know... they shoulda been working and not dancing... but I assure you... that little dance healed me as much as the 6 hour surgery.
Thank U Good Sam hospital employees from July of 1979ish 🖐🥰 xo xo
I requested that this song be played while having a spinal MRI a few years ago. Listening to this music made me happy during the procedure.
@@abbiewhite2767 I know exactly what you mean lol
@@abbiewhite2767 you know I really do believe music soothes the soul. If I’m in a bad mood but I hear one of my favorite songs it really lifts my spirits. I wish you lived next door we could open our windows and blast some REAL good music. I’m in my 60’s so I got some songs you wouldn’t think was even legal ! lol @myself again hunny bunny ROFLMBO have a great night. Sweet dreams.
LOVE this story
What a great story! Good music is timeless and even healing 😊
When music was MUSIC!❤
Jesus H. Christ, Bernard was an absolute MASTER on that bass! May he rest in peace. He certainly left his mark in this world.
Dont say the Lord's name in vain
@@vortex900enterprise4 Sorry! I didn't mean to offend.
@@vortex900enterprise4 Jesus Christ is fake
Yes he did!
I really don't think he used Bernards name in vain here.
This band has the most underrated bass player.
He was not underrated!! EVERYBODY.... knew Bernard Edwards was the best with Louis Johnson as well!
Not true...
That's not true at all!!!!
Yes, and Tony Thompson was an underated Drummer. Hard to believe this was inspired because they weren't allowed in Studio 54.
Not true, everyone related to this genre knew who Bernard Edwards was, an absolute legend on the bass🔥
I’m 65 and the 70’s and 80’s music always bring back such great memories. So glad we will always have this music.
no doubt about it im 59
Happy listening
I'm 63, and I just love music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
Idemmm
I am 70, have this long player lp and like that groove 😀😀🎸🎉🇩🇪
Le Freak is super disco music!
The bass-lead instrumental part from 1:40 to 2:44 is absolute magic! If your foot doesn't tap, you must be already dead.
The best👍
to get a whole minute dance break in a short track is how i like it. awesome stuff
Alan ! I liked your information . 👍
You're absolutely right!!!!
check out dreyboxx on UA-cam
I can't explain how much I love classic 70's/80's funk songs.
Ok so is this R&B, Disco, Funk or Soul?
I hear you.
@@unclegardener It's Chiiiccc.
@Fonz Goose. 👍🤣
Must explore p funk
Damnnn, that bass is off the chain!
The absolute and untouchable definition of cool ❤
One of the greatest bands ever. Pure magic.
Lo mejor de lo mejor ❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy listening
Don't stop enjoying
Most people don’t give the drummer some but the drummer is killer and deserves credit and recognition as well!
The great Tony Thompson who later played for the Power Station.
Agreed
@@mediasawdust2458 that one off album was awesome way back in 1985 !!!
He is the real MVP! Love it!
Tony Thompson...a bad man!
B.Edwards and N.Rodgers are genius¡¡That bass line is amazing¡¡
Life was so much better in the 70's 😍 Great music, dancing and the fantastic clothes 🥰
Good old days
Bernard Edwards not only managed to play that sick bass line, but he did so in a business suit. The man should have his own wing in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for pulling that off.
You're right that is a great bass line.
This was a time when people did use clothes, Mr Bernard looks very good in his suit...
Does anyone take the time to appreciate the genius of Bernie Edwards?
The best.
This music will never get old.
I never get tired of this group. It's much better than anything current
Enjoy and don't stop enjoying
@@shivansingh1633get out here gen Z shit
Exactly
Nile Rodgers is an incredible talent. I'm happy I got to be alive at the same time as the greatest funk guitarist of all time.
He's funk IQ is insane
kikikiki
No not just one of the greatest funk guitarists just one of the best guitarists full stop that's all a great man
l'important dans le funk et le disco c'est la musique qui est derrière qui est hyper recherché et qui pourtant semble simple et limpide juste pour nous faire danser... très intéressant c ' etait ...
Don’t forget Bernard Edwards
Better than 99% of todays music.
could not agree more
Oh god
I havnt heard a good song since 1989
Don't y'all get tired of complaining about todays music? Like just enjoy the song, you'll feel better.
@@naaavy3571 my boy getting offended 😂
Good musics last forever!
1000000%%%%%%%%%%
I cannot believe i saw Chic at the Liverpool Empire in 1978, so cool.
Oyeeee que biennn... para mi eso era un sueño que nunca cumplí 😞
This was a era of time music was just pure gold …hell YESSS..
WELL said!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I cried when the Disco era ended. It was here for a good time not a long time
You probably were not even alive when it ended. Neither was I
Perfect sincrhony! The great bass Man! Save the chic!
The best bassline ever
“Good Times” would like a word with you. 😆👍🏻
Na toy story
Nile Rodgers really deserves to be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame. Also so cool that a song with violins actually has violin players in the video!
Love that ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m not a big fan of disco but this song is definitely the best of the genre. The guitar riff and the baseline is some of the best of all time
Nah you’re a fan of disco. Everybody is.
The best Disco songs have unforgettable basslines🎶🎶🎸
The part from 1:40 to 2:43 is pure genius.
One of the greatest songs ever made. Hands down
Maybe back then but I can’t agree with you
Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Couldn’t agree with you MORE!!!!!!
Remember the days of dancing to this song!!!!!!
What an incredible and most memorable time of my life!!!
Couldn’t wait for this song to be played at the discos! You would automatically jump up, and dance!!!!!!!!😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Enjoy
Keep on enjoying
Agreed 😂
The bass line is legendary. Very groovy. Bernard Edwards is a bass legend. R.I.P
No knock on Niles, but Bernard on the bass made the song.
This baasse line is epic & hot!
@@benoitserrano9193 I play bass and I love to play this song. The bass line is really epic.
killing it!!!!
Dealing with chronic illness listening this to kick it ass and raise above it.
CHIC: The 70's music essence!!!
It's a damn shame that Bernard Edwards didn't live to see how much he is now respected. RIP
He's the man. As a bass player he was one of my biggest influences. RIP
Not sure.... Surely when you're the central part of one of thee most famous bass solos in history... He's bound to have known he was respected....Anyway, when you're that good, you'll know yourself... If you look at the people in the video, it looks, to me anyway, they knew they were making history, the middle violin player is giving it some wellie... One of the singers gives the other one a knowing smile.. They knew.... First heard this song when I was 9 yrs old and the bass and the violins were unreal.... 53.. 2 weeks ago and listen to this on a regular basis... Its the definition of a classic and the bass player is key.. He Had to have known..
With this song alone they deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
this is disco though
@@SaneTheBro
Oh of course, only Rock and Roll allowed, like...
Gladys Knight, Joni Mitchell, The Mamas and the Papas, James Taylor, Isaac Hayes, Percy Sledge, Miles Davis, Leonard Cohen, Run D.M.C., Public Enemy, Donna Summer, Hall & Oates, Linda Ronstadt, Bill Withers, N.W.A., Joan Baez, Tupac Shakur, Nina Simone, Janet Jackson... did I forget any true R & R artists?!
@@DerEchteBold ABBA, Bee Gees, Earth, Wind & Fire, Jacksons 5, Nile Rogers from Chic (notice from Chic) are in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame too.
@@victor1978100
Haha, Nile Rodgers actually is?!
I was kinda scanning through the list, must've missed that, thanks!
you mean the disco funk hall
Better than to days music 1000 percent.
The man is a bassist out of this world!😅
One of my all time favorite songs...I am a child of the 70s, born in the 60s...I'm now in my 50s...If I live fifty more years, I will still want to get down and move to this beat...Life furnishes the RHYTHM...
I was born in 1975 but i wish if if lived in 1950s , 1960s and 1970
hit song of my schooldays..
love the memories it brings...
Same, born in the late 60’s. I remember grooving to this song at skateway roller disco, had my own skates, with hand painted markings on them. For a few years we lived on our skates.
Ah freakout
It's crazy how "innocent" disco sounds in retrospect.
Everything about this music clip is pure perfection 🎉
this is honestly one of the greatest songs of all time
Funny thing is "Le freak, c'est chic" to the ear is exactly like (in french) "Le fric, c'est chic" which literally means "The money, it's classy"
and also "Ah freak out" sounds like Africa.When I was a children in France, I was thinking that it was about poor africans who wanted more money.
Agree, I'm french :) (isn't it classy anyway ?? :) )
This is the best thing I've heard all day
Isn‘t it supposed to mean exactly that?
😂
The band Chic wrote "Le Freak" after being refused entry to Studio 54 on New Year's Eve 1977, despite having been invited by Grace Jones.
"Come on down to 54 , and find a spot...ON THE FLOOR!" lol yeah what a time to be alive....i wouldn't know though
@@prov8440 the force was with me in 1977, I left Alderaan minutes before the death star arrived.
The original lyric was "fuck off" then "freak off" and finally "freak out" because of what the bouncer told them
By "the band" you mean Bernard Edwards (RIP) and Nile Rodgers. And instead of "freak out" it was "fuck off."
Exactly! This song was the "Jam" back in the day. You know what' so eerie, so many of the Folks who were "Patrons" of Studio 54 are no longer with us. Yves St. Laurent, Halston, Michael Jackson, Steve Rubell (The Co-Owner), and that's just the tip of the Iceburg. They also sadly enough represented the First Generation to die of AIDS Related Illness. For Calvin Klein going there was a blessing because he met some very special Close Friends, Sandy Gallin, Barry Diller, and David Geffen who are some of the most powerful men in Show Business. David Geffen lent Calvin Klein 50 Million to save his Fashion Company, got him to use Mark Wahlberg who was then known as Marky Mark who was already wearing Calvin Klein Underwear at his early Promo Performances known as Showcases. Calvin is next to Ellen Degeneres a wizard at House Design and Flipping. In the UK Nile Rogers names is revered since alot of Boy Bands/Girl Group Icons do "Cover" Versions of various songs he worked on and he also worked with Duran Duran after Andy Taylor & Roger Taylor left. However in The US he's too "Old School" but his name is still respected and to this day Chic is not in The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
That bass guitar ! 🎸 😍
Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. God bless you. 🌈🌈🌈Thank you. Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do. 😊
One of the best funk tracks ever
These men and women singing are so well dressed and attractive - a lost art.
I agree 1000%
Rogers was inspired by the style-conscious group Roxy Music who were influenced by the 1950s but Chic went for a 1940s look.
Just like everything music mooves with the times, yes it is good music but that's just how it works
You said it
I don't know who you hang with, but it's definitely not a lost art
baybay no monayyy
Maybe someday disco music will be coming back with a vengeance and will have us groove like crazy the way we did when we were teenagers in the 70s. Hopefully.
I'm 55 yrs old now and still remember getting my groove dance on when I was like 12 to this song !! I would dance so much over & over to it I would be out of breath ... Awesome music !!❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯
I have vinyl record of chic
55 may
You got your vibe early
I'm 57 I danced my ass off to it as well.😍
You want to Die ? Wtf
If they hadn't been turned down at Studio 54 from getting in after Grace Jones invited them, then this song would have never existed. The Bouncer deserves our thanks.
Good night! Better than 99% of today as musi. Yes linds
What a band.Nile Rogers is a genius and a legend.
30 yrs of listening to Le Freak. Never tired of jiving. After so much listening, the structure of the song is amazing.
I LOVE it!
Incredible bass line
That bass !!!! Kicks ass 😮😮😮
That was the late, great Bernard Edwards.
Was für tolle Musik. Und beachten sie die Kleidung. Als der Song rauskam war ich schon begeistert.
I could hardly wait for the 1970s to be over. Now, I wish that I could go back.
This is a serious question. WHY would you want the 70's to be over?
@@TotalDesignZ
At the time, the 70s seemed corny ... but not now.
i would have stayed in the 70's for ever... the 80's brought down the end of everything good, music first.
The song called "F*** Off!" and written in anger after Nile Rodgers was denied entry into Studio 54 became the most-played song in the history of Studio 54.
👍👍👍
You don't push your weight with Nile! They picked the wrong guy to pick a fight with!
@Kelly Smunt That is for me to know and for you to find out! If he did, he would not care to mention it to you, anyway! Right, you were his confidante! LOL. You did miss something - like brains!
@Kelly Smunt Kelly Smut. It takes one to know one, doesn't it? LOL.
😂yesterday i knew about this story ✌
My wife and I started to get tired of the same old music on the radio so we switched it to the Groove on Sirius and haven't changed it in a week.
This is one of the best disco hit's of all time, classic record
As far as I’m concerned this was the sound of the late 1970’s and early 80’s . . . my god Chic were superb and with Nile Rogers on rythum guitar and Bernie Edwards on that superb bass you couldn’t lose . . long live the 1970’s because if you were a teenager at this point it was a fantastic time to be alive.
Yep, we were BLESSED!
So true!
It was a total joy to experience these times. So glad to have lived these special moments in music.
Can't forget Alfa and Luci.
F’n right my friends and I went to the disco’s every night best time I ever had.
Back memories, coming from toy story 3 💪🏼😎😁
that bass line is sick
Oh the good voices.
The musical chemistry between Nile Rogers & Bernard Edwards is undeniable.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you make great quality popular music with class and talent. A lesson, really.
Nile Rogers guitar sound is completely unique, never was and never will be replicated
This is a masterpiece. The bass note bend during the solo and the diminished chord at the "Savoy" part. They knew what they were doing.
One of the classiest disco hits ever! Very sophisticated yet so danceable. One of my all-time favorites.
I don’t know which one I love more.
That killer bass from Bernard Edwards.
Or that classic, amazing guitar playing by Nile Rodgers. So goooooood!!!
1978 was a very good year for dancing. My brother-in-law and I found each other to "bump" to this at every family party. So much fun! ❤
Words 😮😊is la Freaking ❤
When I was a young boy (growing up in Africa), this song was played every weddings!
Bernard Edwards, My man slammin that bassline! RIP
you bet,,,,,, he's one cool cat,,,, with really cool crafty bass lines,,, not in just this song, but all of his stuff. he's a master bass man. class act.
Yes! One of the greatest bassists of all time. Such sick grooves.
Is he the one wearing glasses?
It ashemd that bernard left us in 1996
He was a genius. And Nile Rogers. All of chics hits are absolute classics.
-"Don't worry, we'll take care of everything"
-0:02
So that's what a bass sounds like.
Wow! They don't write music like this anymore! The 70's was the best decade for music, in my humble opinion.
Bass guitar 💥💥💥💥💥
Lil Freak brought me back here, legend
The groove is cool, the bass is insane and captures the atmosphere of STARSKY & HUTCH especially last season 1978-1979
This song could come out today and it would still be a Radio hit!
♪♫♪♫
I'm 62 years old now. Thank You Jesus
