Just reminiscing of the best day of music I’ve ever seen in my life. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. Nile, Chic, Sister Sledge perfection. And to top it off Nile let the crowd know that he had beaten Cancer. A day I’ll never forget

[@nancystoddart5319]

I met Nile when I was his product manager at Atlantic Records. I fought hard for Good Times to be the next single off his album. It remains one of my favorite songs to this day.

[@ivantex6355]

Well done, Nancy🙌

[@track1219]

Was it normal to pick one song off an album to be a single? Or are there many other variables?

[@MrJames-cr6lu]

Nile Rodgers is a musical genius

[@bradleythomas27]

Chic were and still are one of the finest bands in music; Royalty in their own genre and still relevant today. The sound they capture here is spectacular, we're talking almost as perfect as a studio recording sound. Bernard Edwards would be proud of the long serving bass player replacement, smashed it! Met the legend Nile Rodgers at a gig in Brighton years ago now, nice bloke indeed.

[@primovid]

When I saw them at a local free show, they spent about 10mins on their sound check. My friend and I were confused until we heard them play...then it all made sense!

Even youngsters can get on down to this and it still sounds good in 2020 42 YEARS LATER!

[@user-cn3zq2zu2o]

Imagine being lucky enough to get on stage for this then being sad enough to decide to try and film it on your camera instead of just enjoying this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Especially when there's hundreds of professional camera and sound crew doing a way better job than you ever could. Apart from that, outstanding performance - probably the best feel-good song there is.

[@nothings1926]

I love how he embraced his role in the unintentional founding of Hip Hop in the first major worldwide hit. Then simultaneously disappointed we never hear about how disco played role with the breaks & sampling during the early days of hip hop as it was on the rise. I don't think not once in any the documentaries that cover the beginning explicit mentioning connection of Nile Rodgers & Chic or disco at all.
