Testing Nile Rodgers's Music Knowledge | Track Star*

[@stankcheezzzzz]

Nile Rodgers saying "I wish I were a great genius like John Coltrane" - I think Nile's genius status is well cemented, he's a legend

[@Hitsko]

coltrane is a whole other level of genius

[@py_a_thon]

Due to the viruosity of some musicians, even the most skilled of legends are always like "I ain't no Jimi Hendrix or Mozart". Staying humble is usually what allows them to constantly progress to higher skill levels as opposed to stagnating in skill and resting upon their laurels.

[@Yourbankaccount]

Nile is like one of the greatest hitmakers and most sampled musicians of all time

[@track-star-show]

the nickname of his guitar is the hitmaker!

[@darrylperry706]

Great tidbit of info to know!! Thanks

[@Big_Island_Boi]

No shit, Sherlock. I'm pretty sure that was the point of the entire video.

[@captainpawpawchannel]

[@Grant_Ferstat]

I could listen to Nile talk for hours. Amazing musician and producer and such a great dude.

[@hope24ful1]

Yes! I wish this was at least an hour long. 😃 Nile is excellent! 🙌🏾

[@Grant_Ferstat]

@@hope24ful1 yep. Kudos to Jack for always being able to establish a rapport.

[@carlclancy]

His autobiography is well worth a read, so many great stories!

[@domiworld9198]

Nile Rodgers is absolutely amazing. He blessed us with so much good music.

[@kingbee1971]

When I shuffle off this mortal coil, I've asked that my family play the entire 'A Love Supreme' album at my funeral. Coltrane is God. Genius recognizes genius. Bless you, Niles.

[@macdara77]

Considering what he’s created, who he has worked with, and who he has influenced his humbleness is incredible. His autography is a fantastic read too. A true musical legend.

[@georgemacdonald3087]

Humble? When he was on BBC's "Desert Island Discs" he choose only his own records to take with him. Egotistical or what!

[@py_a_thon]

I could listen to him riff on a 7/8 groove for atleast 20 minutes lol.

[@sambruchhaus1510]

This account is a true music journalism account. I’m thankful.

[@janbatzer3093]

Might be the best conversation I ever watched on KZbin! What a nice and humble guy... to me he is an even bigger legend after seeing this! if that's possible in any kind of way 😅😊 thx for that clip and keep goin'!!! ❤

[@basehead617]

if I were describing Nile Rodgers, "humble" is probably the last word I'd use! Amazing musician though..

[@skierpage]

​@@basehead617Nile is very confident in his achievements. The dance floor and the charts don't lie. I wish he'd gotten a chance here to credit his partner in Chic, Bernard Edwards. And listen to "Savoir Faire," "So Fine," and "In Dream." As amazing as his riffs and production are, his rare lead guitar solos are 🔥.

[@JC-bh6gu]

criminally under appreciated channel here. this series needs to blow up because its just great content. please keep it up.

[@alekiny]

now, a great guest! This is make sense and it's wonderful!

[@elfedeus08]

This guy is a living legend. Awesome episode. Thank you man.

[@ddf235]

I met Nile once for a short moment, he’s a great guy, took the time to talk to me. One of the great producers and musicians out there!

[@moondoggy02116]

Just listening to him talk literally brings tears to my eyes because he is so amazing and has been the soundtrack of my life for decades.

[@descendingforth]

Holy smokes this video is fresh!

[@5thPhoenix]

I was looking for comments and only found yours. 😂

[@track-star-show]

thank you!

[@Dar1oGom3s]

love this guy! humble person... great artist... good vibes from 🇧🇷✌️😉

[@bobboberson2024]

Nile is the bomb. One of the top men ever.

[@tweettweet2457]

LOVE NILE! Was so lucky to see him and Chic perform in Galway, Ireland about 10 years ago TWICE!

[@MrSteff63]

over Germany this summer...saw him before in Hamburg (2x ), Kobenhavn, Berlin, Cologne, Barcelona and Hannover (last year)

[@verybighomer]

Such a great guy with so much positive energy.

[@renlessard]

I could listen to Nile Rodgers talk about music history for hours and never get bored

[@phatato]

He's so talented and it's a pleasure seeing him be such a nice cool down to earth person

[@py_a_thon]

I feel similarly about Victor Wooten. If that dude collabs with Niles Rodgers, then gg. The theory of funk is complete.

[@foxyroxygen5139]

so cool you got nile rodgers! these have been my guilty pleasures! Keep up the great work!

[@tarathomas880]

I didn’t want this one to end!!!!

[@intransit5719]

What a pleasure seeing this music legend and being such a humble cool down to earth guy. These 7 minutes made my day here in grey and cold Germany. You both also seem to have fun

[@keinname629]

A true living legend & one of the coolest persons alive! 🤩

[@AEA_909]

Nile Rodgers is a natural treasure!!!

[@louisrosario9522]

I have been listening to Niles Rodger’s since the 70s when Chic hit the radio in NYC. Major League Musical Talent in an excessive amount of categories!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@skierpage]

"Written, arranged, conducted, and produced by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards for the Chic Organization Ltd." The stamp of quality on so many classics.

[@jonnyinjkt]

Such a humble and likeable guy (as well as being amazingly talented)

[@rich.e]

Thank you Nile for soundtracking our lives, you total diamond

[@chri82s]

Always so kind.. a true legend.

[@QUEEFSWEAT]

Mr Rodgers is a class act all the way. A Love Supreme, Sho Nuff!

What an nice guy... always smiling! U gotta love Nile Rodgers!!!

[@aceintheplacelondonc354]

Is there a song you haven't worked on 😂😂😂 Absolute legend and very cool guy. Seems like he never ages at all too. I'm so glad I got to see Nile Rodgers live.

[@ryana9783]

What a LEGEND! And just cool dude too.

Ummm...that's Nile Rodgers! So cool! I could listen to his stories all day.

[@nickgulitti8480]

You could tell Nile was having a good time and felt appreciated for his work and impact

[@Bodyknowledge77]

Legend! I once saw Nile Rodgers( looking out of the window of the gym I worked at) walking down 23rd street in the city where he is in this video in 2000. It looked like he was talking to himself though. Upon closer inspection, he was the first person I ever saw have a public headset cell phone conversation !

[@samph3315]

I saw him in concert and joke that he’s basically the best cover band ever because he covers other people’s hits - that he wrote and produced. Just the most fun and happiest show.

[@MrSteff63]

over Germany this summer 2025...saw him before in Hamburg (2x ), Kobenhavn, Berlin, Cologne, Barcelona and Hannover (last year)

[@mrc302]

Nile and Chic!!!👍👍 This was very cool.

[@gamby16a]

Nile is always the coolest, nicest, kost grounded dude in every interview he's in. Excellent segment.

[@funkyflyy]

What a super fun and interesting video. I love Nile, he's always interesting and entertaining. I bet he's been asked everything, so this was a new thing, not a regular interview. And he is a genius, just like Coltrane.❤

[@mattiafioravanti8475]

What a master. And humble. Thanks Nile.

[@pinballjay9726]

I love music quiz, and I adore music trivia. You guys managed to combine both in the best way possible ! I looooove this show ! It's the best ! Kudos to you ! ✌️

omg I was thinking about what if he plays rapper's delight right before I got to that part

[@TonySankie]

what a cool show and concept around corner from where I lived The Alamac hotel and my friends place in the Dakota ...James Toback

[@user-mv5bu2kk8b]

7:34 😊love this made my day

[@Muggfacepublishing]

I once met him in Ben Franks on Sunset one morning before work. He told me he was taking a break from recording all night long. Couldn't believe he was just there eating with me and no one else in the restaurant knew who he was. Such a gentlemen.

[@Babassecretchannel]

Nile Rodgers, Quincy Jones, Rick Rubin. The top 3 producers of all time. I remember Nile telling that he once counted that he wrote 3 billion dollars worth of music with his main guitar.

[@skierpage]

Arif Marden and Trevor Horn are also top 10.

[@omarleon4881]

Niel you are the best thank you for making such a goos music all those years God Bless you

I was working at a record store in 1979 when we got a shipment of the 12" of "Rapper's Delight." I listened to it once and said, "It's a fad; I give it six months." 🤣

Someone mentioned it before, but I really wonder how you get these legends on your show!! Anyways, you are a great host Jack, all love to you brother

[@recordtime4923]

That was fun! And great final question!

[@chrisdorsch9754]

When Nile Rogers and Bob Clearmounten first worked together, the world of music creation became other worldly. Le Freak was the seminole moment that took things to the highest level.

[@robertsmithshair4199]

What lovely guys

[@Streets_is_a_Mother]

He is a unbelievably high level of music

[@chuncira1]

OMG. OMG. OMG. You got Nile Rodgers?! How in the heck dude?! Whaaat?!!! Wooo! Kudos. You filmed that on 71st and Broadway, correct?

[@paulfitz6614]

Dude, Nile will know it all, session musician.

[@tparmenter]

So good! Wondering why no Duran Duran since they’ve partnered together since The Reflex. Regardless, absolute legend!

[@di7787]

It would be too easy, probably ! Also, the Durans are still touring with Chic as support act from time to time ♥

[@multigrotesque]

what a LEGEND. this life full of hits. such a humble giant.

I saw him a few years ago. What a great set! He’s amazing.

Just wanna point out they had Nile playing a D’Angelico in that pic and it is GORGEOUS. My favorite guitar brand

[@TheDevnul]

One of the greatest to ever do it. Distinct sound, distinct playing style.

No ego. Just a very cool incredibly talented artist.

Such a kool kat. Love every he does.

[@Wrecktoid]

Nile is a legend!

[@funkg]

I read that the only reason why the critics were often 'negative' towards 'Ring my Bell' was it's 'suggestivness'

[@cgueiros]

According to ChatGPT: What Critics Said at the Time: Praise for Its Catchiness: Many reviewers highlighted the song's infectious groove, simple yet effective lyrics, and Anita Ward’s sweet, high-pitched vocals. The track was seen as a perfect fit for the disco era, with its electronic production and danceable beat. Divided Opinions on Artistic Merit: While some praised the song’s polished production (courtesy of producer Frederick Knight), others felt it was formulaic and relied too much on the disco trend rather than offering something innovative. Controversy Over Lyrics: Some critics and listeners interpreted the song as sexually suggestive, though Ward and Knight insisted it was originally written as an innocent tune about teenage love. Comparison to Other Disco Hits: Some critics noted that Ring My Bell lacked the depth and sophistication of disco hits by artists like Donna Summer and Chic. However, others appreciated its fun, lighthearted appeal. (A few reviewers noted that Ward's vocal delivery was somewhat restrained compared to other disco divas of the time, such as Donna Summer or Gloria Gaynor.)

[@shamus12]

If anyone else named their guitar Hitmaker, you say it was the height of arrogance, but truth is truth.

[@DanimalistBoot]

Nile is the essence of cool. Funny that I consider him and Buddy Holly to be two of the very few geniuses of pop music (along with Brian Wilson, Stevie Wonder, and Willie Nelson).

[@cpussandfudgy]

Dude knows his shit (obviously) but crazy that Buddy Holly stumped him.
