Nile Rodgers on I'm Coming Out

[@antonioduverge3558]

I can’t stop watching Nile Rodgers interviews, they guy is a genius but he is a wonderful person too.

[@moneyatslander]

Nile Rodgers is so underrated in popular music.

[@ShakeYerMoneyMaker]

moneyatslander not at since 2014. But for decades, yes.

[@jackbrown4697]

he is awesome

[@tonivertucci6504]

Definitly !!

[@iggystardust9236]

I feel like he’s the musicians musician. Pretty much anybody that plays an instrument knows and loves the guy but, as you said, most casual “music-listeners” have no idea who he is.

[@bananaspiel1850]

You are very right.

[@54jeanmarie]

I met Nile after a PBS documentary being filmed at the McKittrick Hotel in NYC 2 years ago. He shared great stories as well as music.

[@kellykinsellives]

a great guitar riff on this song

[@Larrymh07]

BerryGordy told Marvin Gaye that if he released 'What's Goin On' it would ruin his career, too.

[@florida07eb]

I remembered sang it when I left my 36 hours shift at the hospital.

[@19brittani]

It was the gay anthem in 1980.. it was funky catchy and really rocked the clubs. Listen to it and turn the volume up loud. It will move the party.👍🏾

[@12gt13]

I love hearing stories behind the records

[@GeeJayDeluxe]

The QUEEN of SOULFUL POP... YEAH... i want the world to know... :)

[@ing.joseluisjuarez2391]

Nile, you are great!

[@tweston315]

I was a member of my college Student Union Board in 1978 and 1979. And guess who I was a part of bring to perform at Northeast Louisiana University....CHIC...CHIC! 😁 They were the hottest new group in the country and they were awesome!

[@LeslieESP21]

SO CHIC 🎤🎶🎸💃💫💫💫💫HEY NILE … be well xoxoxo

[@self4autism333]

I have dream songs, they are songs from me to the part of me thats less me but becoming more at one with me. Eg by sending a message of pure love it soothes the ego into self love and acceptance. Eg the ego would say "we got what you want, we got what you need" funk song 101. The true self would write it like, "we got what you want, we GOT what you want". Niles dream song, "I want your love, I WANT your love" only using the word want because need is not a concept within unconditional love consciousness. Interesting lyric now i know where it came from.

[@larenzohayes4453]

Where's the rest of the interview!!!!!👊

[@andrepaige9669]

A wonderful genius!

[@bananaspiel1850]

Songs can be interpreted in many different ways. “I’m Coming Out” is not a gay anthem to me. It’s just a great song.

[@borgullet3376]

An American Treasure and a Genius...

[@diedrekelly9721]

Beautiful...

[@emersonsrandomvideos248]

I thought "i'm coming out" is a gay song but its not. Its a metaphor of going out from a current situation. Like me, i'm a guitar player since 1996. I never played in public - on stage - until last November 2018. I went out from being a loner guitar player to an intermediate skilled crowd pleaser. I'm coming out is so me and i'm not even gay.

[@joaniec6178]

Pinoy keyboard warrior It wasn't intended as one but over time it has become synonymous with the gay audience. It has a lot of meanings for everyone.

[@galetinm]

@@joaniec6178 it was intended. Nile was at a gay club, or some kind of a drag show, and he was in the bathroom and there were all these Diana Ross impersonators, and he was doing the Diana Ross record at that time, and he called Bernard, the bass player, so he would write down the phrase, "I'm coming out", because he (Nile) will get drunk and forget it. He explains why too. There's the whole story here on YT, and Nile tells it much better than me.

[@goodegrief]

This man does the best Greer Barnes impression

[@zeekmx1970]

Nile you are always beyond the scope of your audience. I'm glad it's not wasted on me. Nile I fully understand you're a high level musical savant and nobody is on your level. You're in your 70s I'm in my 50s, Without what you do, I wouldn't be able to do what I do.

[@alexiscarrington-colby733]

THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES IN LIFE; EVERYTHING IS PRE-DESTINED!

[@Maxumized]

See, it’s not a gay song...it’s just about a person that is maturing into their life

[@SweptAway529]

I think you need to re-listen to this clip.

[@Apg002]

The simple answer is that it’s probably both.

[@hansgruber788]

@@SweptAway529 he literally explained how Diana didn't even understand the concept of relating coming out to being gay...

[@harrypolinar7991]

Merry Christmas happy new year

[@frankdiscussion2069]

Nile Rodgers was the only one who knew that the main fans of Diana Ross are gay. You'd have to be to listen that kind of music....

[@mannygabriel863]

hahaha :D luv it........... fact fact fact :D

[@Mishkafofer]

Nothing wrong with that

[@kimakotrotman6860]

He was reaching for that.
