Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards formed Chic in 1972, initially known as The Boys and then The Big Apple Band. After other New York artists took the name The Big Apple Band, they rebranded as Chic. Influenced by glam rock and bands like Kiss, Rodgers envisioned a group with a cohesive musical and visual identity. In 1977, with drummer Tony Thompson and vocalist Norma Jean Wright, they recorded “Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah),” leading to a contract with Atlantic Records and the release of their self-titled debut album. Luci Martin joined in 1978, but Wright later departed for a solo career, replaced by Alfa Anderson.
Chic gained significant commercial success between 1977 and 1979 with hits such as “Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah)” (1977), “Everybody Dance” (1977), “Le Freak” (1978), “I Want Your Love” (1978), and “Good Times” (1979). “Le Freak” became Atlantic’s best-selling single until Madonna’s “Vogue” in 1990. “Good Times” was particularly influential, forming the basis for early hip-hop tracks like The Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight” and inspiring other artists such as Queen and Blondie. Rodgers and Edwards extended their influence by producing for various artists, including Sister Sledge’s “We Are Family” (1979) and Diana Ross’s 1980 album Diana, which featured hits like “Upside Down” and “I’m Coming Out.”
After a period of disbandment in the early 1980s, Rodgers and Edwards continued to produce for other artists, with Rodgers notably co-producing David Bowie’s 1983 album Let’s Dance and Madonna’s 1984 album Like a Virgin. Chic reunited in 1990, releasing new material and touring internationally. Despite the passing of Bernard Edwards in 1996 and Tony Thompson in 2003, Nile Rodgers has continued to lead Chic, often performing as Nile Rodgers & Chic. His collaborations with Daft Punk on their 2013 album Random Access Memories, including the Grammy-winning hit “Get Lucky,” brought renewed global recognition. Chic remains active, releasing “It’s About Time” in 2018 and continuing to perform worldwide, cementing their legacy as influential figures in music.
