The irony being Le Freak outlived Studio 54.

love Nile Rogers and Chic - I watch his videos with Adam Lambert all the time - "Shady" "Lets Dance" and "Trespassing" - Nile just gets better, I could listen to him all day

I love this song n I have it in my 80s collection.2021

@SpaceGhost67 Год назад

excellence... this song on earphones or any Chic number is like another dimension.

@16davelle Год назад

Nile Rogers is really a deep guy,he even used to be a Black Panther. The man could have been a professional orator had he chose to be for he is that good.His backstories to some of Chic's songs are nothing short of amazing.

@nave37 4 года назад

That was a great story I always wanted to hear it from him he turned a negative to a positive and it became a hit

@williamdrijver4141 2 года назад

Great history of an all time classic, and Nile always is a very positive person! Love to hear him talk about chic songs and work he did for other artists.

He also leaves out that Studio 54 was already thriving on songs they were playing from the prior album at the same time their doormen are turning away members of the band. In another rendition of this story, he also suggests there was definitely a racist aspect to their being denied entry.
