Yeah! Of course bass is very important in this kind of a music genre type. Though, the timing inside of the song is THE trick which works with me. The drummer is very, very important. The running guitar gives the needed boost for the hole idea. I also have loved horns always.
Linda musica yo tenía 14 años fue mi época de oro amo esos momentos actualmente tengo 55 y me siento joven cuando las escucho... saludos desde Jalisco México.
This song brings back so many memories. Back when this song came out,,,, disco dance clubs were just making the scene in Charlotte. Girls flocked to it. So I became that buff country boy who went to a disco on Friday or Saturday night and danced with the chics (see what I did there?) Went home with a different one every weekend. The weekend nights I didn't go I hung out with my buddies, drinking liquor and beer while standing around a bonfire..... which quite often ended in a brawl. ......had a reputation to keep up,...ya know.
Dopo tanto tempo , ancora questa canzone rimane una delle più belle di sempre , sezione ritmica mostruosa ,batterista che ha una pacca sul rullante incredibile , bassista di una tecnica e un gusto musicale fantastico , il capo ( il chitarrista che trascina la canzone dall'inizio sino alla fine , le cantanti bravissime e belle, i fiati impeccabili, e tutto il resto del gruppo all'altezza di un grande gruppo di musicisti ,complimenti ,siete eccezionali ,grazie .
This song brings back memories! Hearing it on thradio on American Top 40, seeing in the newspaper that it would burst into the top 10, and then, years later, doing it as karaoke at my work place! As I said, great memories.
Chic was a band led by bass player Bernard Edwards and guitarist Nile Rodgers. Both musicians were very successful songwriters and producers, combining to work on hits for Sister Sledge and Diana Ross. Edwards went on to produce for The Power Station, Joe Cocker and Robert Palmer, while Rodgers worked with the likes of Mick Jagger, David Bowie and Madonna❕ Rodgers and Edwards authored “Le Freak” after they were denied access to a trendy nightclub. It was New Year’s Eve, 1977, and they were invited to Studio 54, a very popular club in New York City where many celebrities and trendsetters hung out. Singer Grace Jones wanted them to do some production work for her, and asked them to come down to the club as her guests. When they got there, they were not on the list, and couldn’t persuade the doorman to let them in. All dressed up and nowhere to go, they left and started crafting “Le Freak” as a reply to the doorman. (Studio 54 is mentioned in the last verse❕) They first called it “F-k Off,” then “Freak Off.” That title sounded lame, but when they made the opening line “Aaaahh Freak Out!”, they came up with a better one : “Le Freak” (1978). This became the bestselling single of all time for Atlantic Records, with 13 million sales. Nile Rodgers knew “Le Freak” was going to be a monster winner even though the record company hated it. AND THE MAN WAS RIGHT‼️ 💚🎵💙
Groovy. One of the best versions of this song that I've heard. I like how the beat is exciting but not overwhelming (not just a mess of drums like some other versions).
He's a very good player, not doubt, but the question is taste. It isn't about notes per second. On the original, the bass wouldlead into the next part. This player is following the music all the time, and that takes away the sense of advanced swoop that was in the original as the next verse started for example. Rhythm on bass is a combination of beats and occasional sustain. That contrast makes the bass funky. 70% slap content is about making the bass a virtuoso instrument, while what is needed is the complement to what Nile is doing on electric guitar.
Mein lieber Mann - was für eine absolut mitreißende gelungene Live-Version - kannte ich gar nicht - besser als das Radio-Edit . . . . der Wahnsinn pur . . .
Saw Chic at Essence Fest in 2014. Janelle Monae and Chic opened for Prince, who came out and played with each act before he took the stage. Doug E. Fresh kept the crowd going between sets. That was a concert to remember and sadly the last time I saw Prince in concert before he passed away.
I have had the tremendous pleasure of seeing him and his current crew twice while touring the USA with Duran Duran in 2015-2016 - dazzling and spectacular!!!!
Tempo maravilhoso 💖, eu amava quando no clube tocavam essa música, e maravilhosa , era os anos 70 hoje e 22 Nilópolis RJ. E continuo mesmo com 62 curtindo esse som maravilhoso 💕
Muchas parejas alrededor del mundo se enamoraron bailando ésta música. Se casaron, formaron un hogar y aun siguen juntas. La música disco, la mejor época en Guatemala.
Cómo no se va a extrañar está musica padrisima , y aquellos años de nuestra juventud , que había tantas rolas hermosas , recordar es volver a vivir , verdad de Dios.
Olha só. Voltei aos anos 70, 80, 90. Era um sucesso. Marcou muito. A galera só nos passinhos. Foi uma época qy podemos nos orgulhar de ter vivido. Eram várias bandas fazendo as discotecas tremerem. Mais tudo tem começo, meio e fim. Acabou.
It's all about Joy and Music ...simple music, but great taste and excellent bass playing with Nile's rhythm guitar playing, Bravooo :-) Could never boring to listen this track.
