Fabulous, it's 2024 & I'm still loving this track 😊

[@paulb6413]

Watching this made me cry. 1979, our care free days, enjoying life and friends, fast forward to 2020, and listening to this , thinking back, thinking about 41 years of life from then to now, then thinking back again . As Nile said, "I don't want to live in the past, but it's a nice place to visit." Thank You Sheila, Thank You Nile, Thank you for still being here for us.

[@krambam1]

What a kind comment to make Paul. I am forwarding it on to Nile and Sheila, who I am confident will appreciate your words.

[@paulb6413]

Mark A. Barondess Thank You, I went to see Nile and Chic when they came to Melbourne and Carl Cox was there as well. I can't wait for him to come back to Melbourne ( I hope he will ) so I can take my wife and sons to see him now that they are old enough..

Totally agree with you Paul. This also had a few tears has great music and beat to it. When I get low always play this song brings back memories!!!

[@thomasgray5406]

@@krambam1 Fantastic to hear this, I was only twelve in 1979 but already recognised what a genius Nile is. His work with Chic and Sheila are just two examples of his superb work with talented artists. Those were such happy years, less technology but so much more freedom and a much greater sense of community than now. Thank you so much for this recording.

OMG! I'm guessing Sheila is in her 70s and still looking as beautiful as she was when I saw the original video and stage performance of this song. It brings back a lot of memories! Until recently, I didn't know she was French. And nice to see her hear with Chic and Nic Ranger. GOD, do I miss the 1980s (though I know this song actually came out in 1979)!

Makes me think of Bernard Edwards R.I.P. My top inspiration as a bassist. I remember hearing this for the first time at a youth club in Wolverhampton in 1979. I remember thinking how hypnotic the groove was.

[@gregd6022]

I was lucky enough to See Nile and Chic at the height of the "Good Times" craze, its was on a venue that would built on an artificial island at Toronto's (Canada) harbourfront, ppl where swimming across the channel to get to it because the promotors underestimated demand by about 10 times, literally, crazy times!

Sheila est, et reste une valeur sûre dans le Show Biz actuel, et sur scène avec Nile elle prouve qu'elle sait encore être présente et donner le maximum au public. Ici avec Nile c'est juste magique on sent bien la complicité et l'amitié qui lient ces deux grands artistes internationaux. J'attends avec une grande impatience le fruit de leur nouvelle collaboration 'The Law of Attraction".

[@cittaromap4163]

Iconic song of the disco era !!! It was nt a huge hit in the states at that time. Number #44 US dance chart #28 US R& B chart in part Due that Chic produced four album in 1979/80 notably Sister Sledge “love somebody today “ Chic fourth album “real people “ & the huge selling multiplatinum album “Diana “For Diana Ross ....True Sheila does nt sound that great but who cares. Just to see them with Reunited in Paris is awesome. That song has become a disco anthem with some many remixes ...Mr Rodgers has class and a hell of musician. ... well done sir !

[@martydaymudefromdc]

I thought that she sounded AND looked absolutely fabulous.

[@cittaromap4163]

Sheila is a decent singer I was just saying in this live version she sounds just ok She does look great no doubt. And still performing all over France ... in fact she is coming out with a new song specially written by Niles called “ law of attraction “.

[@nealmike5490]

Learning about that era..Came after..I didn't know Chic produce all the talents. This song should have been higher in the USA..thanks

[@RaulDiazavila]

Hola, soy de Perú y estoy viendo una espectacular actuación de Chic junto a la cantante francesa Sheyla interpretando el tema Spacer del grupo sheyla B. Devotion de 1979. Como un dato para los amantes de la buena música les recuerdo que en 1969 fue la cantante original del tema Fernando en su idioma francés, el cual al año siguiente fue versionado por Los Diablos de España con el nombre de Un rayo de sol, su superexito internacional. Toda esta información y mucho más la podemos encontrar en la revista Historia de la música juvenil contemporánea, la cual se presenta en cada edición con el ranking de las 400 mejores canciones de cada año desde el año donde empezó todo 1955 hasta 1990 donde prácticamente se arruino todo por culpa del regueton, el latín chicha, la salsa, el perreo y demás desgracias. Pero gracias a Dios podemos disfrutar de toda esa buena música que nunca pasará de moda, porque artistas como the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, los iracundos, la fórmula V, deep purple, Tom Jones, leo dan, marisol, camilo sesto, the hollies, beach Boys, raphael, cliff Richards, Barbara straisend, los ángeles negros. Kraftwerk, Nicolás di bari, los teen tops, los gatos, Roberto Carlos, Bee gees, the Police, ELO, rocío durcal, y un sinfín de estrellas, incluidos los reyes del rock and roll y los gigantes de la década de los 80. Saludos desde Lima de su amigo Raúl J.

Mister Rodgers really lives up to his name. A fantastic musician but also an incredibly kind human being. And this version adds so much more funk to the original disco version. Yummy.

[@FriendofDorothy]

Great to see this. It's certainly one of the most sensual and sexy records Nile Rodgers ever did with another recording artist. Simple, hypnotic, and a touch enigmatic...

[@Tigerex966]

Steven Kerry along with Bernard Edwards

[@FriendofDorothy]

Thanks; I am well aware of Bernard Edwards was a major part of Chic's initial success.. I have been a huge Chic fan since I first danced to the 12" version of "Everybody Dance" on a dance floor in the late '70s. My favorite bass-line by Bernard is on the track "My Forbidden Lover" but he was mind-boggling on many others. I can't wait for Chic's new album after getting "I'll Be There".

[@Tigerex966]

Steven Kerry cool zgod bless you I hear Niles will do like Santana and Quincy and have Chic with Nile Rodgers featuring other great artist I actual saw the original band even with Luther Vandross back in the day live and since I worked at a music store I was one of the first to hear spacer and other lesser known CHIC produced tracks I have only recently heard the Johnny Mathis and Fonzi Thorton tracks supposedly there may be some other unreleased tracks like Aretha Franklin God bless you

[@FriendofDorothy]

Yes, Nile produced Johnny Mathis and also Carly Simon. Carly's single "Why?" got a little traction in my area, but I don't remember hearing Johnny's single at all. Nile has certainly had a long and wondrous career! I wish he would do something with the great Kevin Saunderson and Inner City; that would be a dance-floor match made in heaven. I still hit the dance floor, and it's been awhile since I've heard anything new since Avicci that's blown my mind.

[@Tigerex966]

Bernard produced a lot but had a family to put first, like Jody Watley, Robert Palmer, Rod Stewart, Distance, I think the power Station, possibly Midnight Star I forgot? I used to listen to the Chic Produced Carly Simon and Teddy Pentergrass and Fonzi Thorton on the Soup for one CD promo I had years ago. Good Stuff. We all anxiously await the next Chic albilm hopefully he will have a lot of guess artist, maybe even Daft Punk?
