"Good Times" is a song by American R&B band Chic from their third album Risqué (1979). It ranks 68th on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time,[1] and has become one of the most sampled tunes in music history, most notably in hip hop music.

[@iBENchant]

Nile Rodgers co-founder & mastermind of chic. 🔥 Madonna was smart to chose to work with him on her Like A Virgin album.

[@lamusiclover2264]

This is about the most sampled bass line in history!

[@kurtadams3021]

The LEGENDARY Iconic Chic

[@dtaylor939]

This very well may be the most sampled song of all time. Chic is definitely one of the most sampled bands ever.

[@leondasellis9854]

Yeah we took our style ques from them. You definitely had to dress to impress back then and Chic was fly. Their music was vibing too

[@mariogiresi6792]

That’s right. Men had to look good back then. Suits, ties, vests, and leather shoes. And the women loved it too. You couldn’t get in the club if you wore jeans, sneakers, and a baseball cap.

[@darnell49]

DISCO STAPLE🔥🔥. If there is anything 70s themed you most def will hear this.

[@RBS_]

...Almost EVERYTHING had been said, about this tune, and I don't know WHAT I'll add...but I'll TRY..... ***CHIC TRIVIA "GOOD TIMES"!!!*** ...Let's grooove toooooo iiiittttt... - ...after the ASTRONOMICAL success of "Le Freak" & "I Want Your Love", CHIC was preparing for a new Album, Summer of 1979; they knew they HAD to come up with something different than the 'typical' Disco Sound, so they hit on something....THE GROOVE..... - ...Back then, with HIGH Oil prices, 3 Mil. Island, the disappearance of Etan Patz, Divorces skyrocketing, Graffiti & Street violence, etc., the Country was having some BAD TIMES.... Chic wound up writing "Good Times", as a way to 'offset' the troubled times, with 'Good' ones.... ....actually, Luther Vandross was supposed to sing background & arrange the vocals on this tune, but he was tied up with someone else, and Chic used Luther's LONGTIME collaborator, Fonzi Thorton..... - ...The tune added warm synths, and a tight, TIGHT beat, that almost sounded like a drum machine, which set it apart from all the other tunes, and the Vocals are all sung in unison, to make it feel like we ALL are in, on the 'Party'...which is why this tune REMAINS the ULTIMATE 'Barbecue Party" track, for Black Households, because it was BORN there!! - ....It hit #1 on ALL the charts, Disco, R&B, & Pop, August 1979; We ALL know about the "Rapper's Delight" Rap phenomenon that was born out of it, so I'll let someone bring THAT up....but, didja know THIS, speaking of "Dynomite" !???? ...."Good Times" (the TV Series) ended with it's FINAL Episode, the WEEK Chic hit #1 on the Pop charts, August 1979, tying the two TOGETHER, FOREVER! ....Let's go back..... 10. Mama Can't Buy You Love - Elton John 9. You Can't Change That -Ray Parker Jr. & RAYDIO 8. The Devil Went Down To Georgia - Charlie Daniels Band 7. Ring My Bell - Anita Ward 6. When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman - Dr. Hook 5.After The Love Has Gone - Earth, Wind & Fire 4. Bad Girls - Donna Summer 3. The Main Event (Fight) - Babs 2.

Can you pass me some of those clams on the half shell RBS? 🤣

The hip hop song sampled from Chic! Chic's bass player & music arranger (2 diff. dudes) were Prince/A. Keys-level transcendent.

[@ccth22]

I remember in the summer of 77 we in Wildwood on the boardwalk and I heard this amazing sound coming from a record shop. The bass was booming and I heard the chant “Everybody Dance Clap Your Hands”. Then I heard Norma Jean’s solo and I was hooked and spent my paper route money(kids today have no clue) on that album with the two bombshells on the cover. Chic was on fire for the rest of the decade🎼

[@mikecaetano]

Yes "Rapper's Delight" runs atop a sample of this song. "Good Times" was the follow up to Chic's 1978 smash hit "Le Freak". I bought the 45 rpm single of that when I was a kid and played it all the time. I think I might have also bought the album featuring "Good Times" as well, but I'm not sure because it was so long ago! And "Good Times" was also the name of a sit-com starring Jimmy "JJ" Walker, whose catch line on the show was "Dynomite!" And the guy who introduced the song at the beginning, Doc Severinsen, was Johny Carson's band leader on The Tonight Show. Nile Rodgers guitar playing is iconic, from "Le Freak" to "Let's Dance" all the way to "Get Lucky".

[@laminage]

This Melody was later used for the Very First Rap Record (Rapper's Delight) by The Sugarhill Gang released on Sugarhill Records. In later Years Bernard Edwards and Nile Rogers would later Write other hits like "We Are Family" that was lip synched in The Birdcage, and "He's The Greatest Dancer". When Disco died down they also wrote a String of unforgettable Hits for Diana Ross (I'm Coming Out, The Boss, Upside Down). Another one of their Hits "Everybody Dance" was later covered by Two UK Acts. Kimberley Walsh of Girls Aloud (2002-2013) and Steps a popular Co-Ed Group from England (1996-2001). In later years Nile Rodgers would work with Duran Duran (Notorious) and David Bowie (RIP) on Let's Dance. Although he's considered to be Old School in The US in the UK, he's a Legend. Oh just to let you know the Co-Founder Sylvia Robinson was in The Duo Mickey & Sylvia with Love Is Strange. This was from The Midnight Special.

[@craigcraigster4999]

RIP Bernard, one of the greatest bassists of all time, and this song proves it. He and Nile put out some kickass music back in the day, including "Dance, Dance, Dance"; "Everybody Dance"; "Le Freak"; "I Want Your Love"; "My Forbidden Lover"; and of course "Good TImes", which contains one of the greatest lines ever written: "clams on the half shell, and roller skates, roller skates." 😋 This one's a forever fire bop! 🔥🔥🔥

[@bmw3842]

Tony Thompson passed away as well. One of the baddest drummers

[@Lfg117]

🔥

[@InlawsOutlaws]

Great reaction! One of the most distinctive (and copied) bass lines of all time. It wasn't just Rapper's Delight that riffed off of that sampled bass but Queen's Another One Bites The Dust (a huge #1) was a direct rip off / tribute (not sampled, just damn close to copied). You can even hear the influence on Blondie's Rapture. That Rogers/Edwards guitar/bass rhythm section was simply unequaled.

[@EmpressReacts]

Interesting I haven't heard that Queen song, but now that you mention Rapture I can hear it

[@bmw3842]

Chic consisted of Benard Edwards on Bass and Nile Rogers on Rhythm guitar ,Tony Thompson on drums Alfa Anderson & Luci Martin on co leads ,two of the best singers in the business ,

[@EmpressReacts]

🔥🔥

[@tedgeorge7122]

Were are my roller skates? Empress Chic is my Beatles. their catalog and Niles producing of other artists ( still to this day) are the closest you can get to the soundtrack of my life.may your Chic journey begin.

[@patrickmiller1834]

Yep yep hip hop borrows from our legends. This was a billboard number one. I once was on a tv show with Nile Rogers. You have such a sweet disposition

[@EmpressReacts]

thank u!

[@bobowrathsovine.]

I remember being 4-5 years old when this was always on the radio. Its the orchestration effect going from one channel into the other across the stereo spectrum that got my attention and is no longer used in music

[@EmpressReacts]

oh cool!!!

[@johnlooney2319]

Like 10 words in the song..Disco fun fluff.Remenber my parents going to disco dance classes, we grew up in NYC. It was huge in the late 70s.

[@michaelcarson7941]

This still hits in 2022!!

[@mr.goodenough3796]

My man Bernard Edwards always brings straight fire🔥 on that bass. Of course Nile is a master rythm guitar player. Good Times indeed. I was 9 years old and groovin to this jam.

[@KevinM2732]

I was dancing in my bedroom to this great groove back in the day

[@saraheart2804]

Can we just say how well dressed this group is.

[@EmpressReacts]

💯🔥

[@Lfg117]

Back in 1979 fly ppl w giant 'fros roller skated to that bop 🔥

[@markr.devereux3385]

Something about that guitar and bass. If they can play that cool shit maybe I should get up and dance. It's like a musical pide piper I'm telling you . EPIC DISCO SONG.

[@johnashley327]

One of the best bass line ever.

[@EmpressReacts]

🔥🔥

[@Bashimillar]

I have always adored Luci Martin and she looks fabulous here

[@jeffreygriffin7248]

I sure do miss the 70s and 80s because it was all about having a good time dancing! People don't dance anymore because there's nothing good to dance to!

[@trenagrady6802]

OMG this was my group! I was a kid but they influenced me at the time because of their fashionand sound. Fashion trend setters and Chic had that disco sound. They where very popular with the dance club and Nile Rogers Is a well known songwriter and record producer as well as Bernard Edwards. "Le Freak" is their most famous song. This group was very BIG in the late 70's and 80's. The Sugerhiill Gang sampled it with Rapper's Delight "and the rock group Queen sampled it with "Another One Bites the Dust"

[@fabianenriquez2814]

One of my fave groups from the 70’s!❤️🥂

[@helgar791]

Yes, the two most important musics in the beginning history of hip hop were James Brown and Chic.

[@mariogiresi6792]

If you like this song in 2024 ya shoulda been there in 1979 when the DJ would spin this number at the local Disco. Everybody got up and danced. How I miss that beautiful decade.

[@EmpressReacts]

Yeah a lil too early for me by some decades 😂

[@kurtadams3021]

Pure uncut Funk 🤘🏾

[@royg9080]

This is definitely a Disco classic🔥 bop!! I was pretty young when this song came out but clearly remember my parents jamming to this one especially my mom dancing around the house when this song came on the radio 💃🕺🏼😆

[@lanceflx63]

Please overstand a lot of so called “disco” records were nothing but actually Soul Funk R&B records.

[@royg9080]

@@lanceflx63 that makes sense and definitely better describes the genre of this song.

[@bufordt.justice6741]

such a cool, classy, and badd ass group. just timeless infectious dance music that will always get the party started

[@123rgar]

Back in the day this was big in roller rinks.

[@lmagdangal4842]

Nile Rogers and Chic opened for Cher right before the shutdown in New Orleans and gurl, let me tell you that was poppin"! In would have gone to see them alone!

[@EmpressReacts]

Oh cool

[@Allencartercomix]

Definitely check out their earlier hit "Le Freak" (that funk guitar riff just won't quit), as well as "Chic Cheer" (Which got sampled in 1998 for "Love Like This" by Faith Evans.

[@eidetecker]

1978 Represent! The girl with the blue gloves, man. That's right. Saw them on the tube in high school and that girl has owned my captured eye ever since. I think her name is Luci Martin. Actually, they were both hot in this performance. And of course, Chic was always the bomb.

[@DanCrowleyNYC]

I have comedy books of misheard lyrics that always make me laugh - in this case "Our new state of mind" sounds like "are you straight or bi?" (As a gay man I can laugh at that! And it sounds like it!)

[@EmpressReacts]

😂😂

[@craigcraigster4999]

I once thought, "A rumor has it that it's getting late" was "Jumpin' Jehosaphat it's getting late." 🤣 That was also after several Don Julio 1942s on the rocks and a few ganja bowls "helped" me hear better, or so I thought. 🙃

[@djscott1129]

That's my godmommy.... Alfa Anderson, lead vocalist.

This was a time when People of Color, women, Queer people were becoming empowered and this music united us! Then came the white supremacy of the Reagan, anti-disco backlash.

Yeh! One of my favorite songs, check out, LaFreak and I want your love, good reaction!

[@honkey5913]

This super song came out 1979 when it was actually not the good times...gas prices, inflation, iran revolution and so on. Chic started something with this song .....it was Chic's last big hit because everyone was saying disco was dead ! its a shame because these girls could really sing !! I bought this album when it came out !! love it !!
