Everybody Dance : Chic and the Politics of Disco
Chic - Book - by Daryl Easlea
(2020)
With their era-defining music and instantly recognisable look, Chic’s
reputation as pioneers of disco has endured long after the movement
itself. After their initial success in the 1970s with classics such as
`Good Times’, `Le Freak’ and `I Want Your Love’, Chic disbanded in
1983, with founding members Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards becoming
in-demand producers. After Edwards’ tragic early passing in 1996, Nile
Rodgers’ involvement in Daft Punk’s 2013’s smash hit `Get Lucky’
catapulted Chic back to international acclaim.
And now, from
curating Meltdown in 2019 to headlining festivals all over the world,
Nile Rodgers and Chic have arguably never been more popular. Covering
the sweet successes and fallings out of favour, the creative process and
encounters with Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Diana Ross, Madonna and
others, the acclaimed Everybody Dance explores the highs and the lows of
Chic’s journey in fascinating detail. With a new foreword by Duran
Duran founding member John Taylor and a host of new interviews with Nile
Rodgers, Johnny Mathis and many others, to add to those with Ahmet
Ertegun, Bryan Ferry and David Bowie, this edition bring their
enthralling journey up to date.
A must-read for any disco fan,
Everybody Dance: Chic and the Politics of Disco is the essential story
of the legendary band who still get us lost in music, over four decades
on.
