Nile Rodgers (and CHIC): I really miss Historian:

[HL]

Last weekend, I went to a concert that featured CHIC & Nile Rodgers .

I must admit that what I knew of Rodgers--was nothing compared with what I came away form the concert knowing.........

Nile Rodgers IMO, is ranked with Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield et al. ....a renouned prolific song writer/producer on the highest level.

... and he is still making hits. I think he even scored a grammy with Pharrel and Daft Punk on a hit they recently had.

...yes ... I was playing one of his songs recently and wondered what happened to him, I didn't realize he was working on so many hits.

[Gamma]

I think he worked a bit with Michael Jackson too .... Shake your body down to the ground comes to mind. It has his sound

I always found it interesting that Chic started out life as a rock band but couldn't get any interest from the record companies because they thought a black rock band was not commercially viable.

Contrast that to Chris Blackwell who decided that the way to break Bob Marley and the Wailers was to market them as a sort of alternative rock band, and so made a deliberate effort to make songs like Concrete Jungle on the Catch a Fire have a type of rock sound. And it worked.

Perhaps Blackwell at the time had the need to take more risks than the US major labels did.

[Mosiah]

Whoa! He just discovered Nile Rodgers. Tek time wid him!

[Sir X]

So missing (miss - torian) makes me not pay attention ?

[Assasin]

When you are big label you tend to buck the trend less. Younger producer normally have their feet to the ground and have to come with new stuff.
