Sooooo well deserved he’s one of my favorites of all time so glad he’s getting this honor. Now Barry Gibb/The Bee Gees need to get this honor next year!
"The songs created by Nile Rodgers for Chic, @SisterSledgeTV, @DianaRoss, @davidbowie, @madonna, @daftpunk and many others are so well-crafted that they will outlive us all". Well said 😎 Congratulations Nile.
Amen - he desires this prestigious award. Nile is a creative genius. I remember jamming to his music back in the day and still have many of his tracks still in my music library. Right on - God bless.
How many Musical Artists can actually make you cry with happiness? Nile is such an artist. A debt of gratitude should be paid to the memory of his songwriting partner Bernard Edwards..
I saw Nile Rodgers and Chaka Khan at Wolf Trap in Vienna, Virginia a few years ago. One of the greatest concerts I have ever been to. I was surprised, because I was like “since when does Chaka Khan open for anybody?” Rodgers has an amazing song book and I had no idea that he was behind so many hits. Congratulations on the Polar prize!. (Sidenote, where is that voiceover person from that they can’t pronounce David Bowie?)
