    The most impressive thing that stood out to me was Bernard Edwards' interview. He had the right perspective about family, work ethic and being a stand up father.
    Apart from that......he was a helluva bassist! One of my major inspirations.

    Bernard Edwards' bass lines are foundational to the groove and success of the songs he and Nile Rodgers made and produced together. The more I listen to their songs, the more I appreciate his art. R.I.P - moe mai ra e te rangatira.

      Nile and 'Nard kept him on a tight leash in Chic, he only really busted out on the incredible drum breaks on Diana Ross's "I'm Coming Out." It's great that Tony Thompson got recognition as a heavy rock drummer with the Power Station and his work with Led Zeppelin (!). Died at 48 😢.

      If your band is doing disco R&B, I really don't think you can do better than Chic itself. Tony Thompson RIP was incredible. Rob Sabino on piano sparkled ("Spacer") Ray Jones and Andy Schwartz on electric piano delivered, Sammy Figueroa on percussion was essential on a lot of tracks ("I Want Your Love," "Thinkingof You"), and of course the Chic strings were dynamite. Fonzi Thornton sang along with the two women.

    "Believer" is a great album, still can't wrap my head around how influential this band was in the entire music world, and yet their final album (in the original lineup) barely has any attention. It's a fantastic piece of 80s music, and continued the legacy of the "disco Chic" without sounding out of place in the 1980s production world.

That left me so sad .Loosing such a bassist is like Brothers Johnson loosing Louis and George Clinton loosing Bootsy. Any way before retirement, like Bernard I also worked for the post office in Kenya but it was a bad experience. RIP Bernard.
