I love the songs, his production and guitar style, and as a guitar player, he is a major influence on modern pop music. I’m talking about Nile Rodgers and Chic. Watching them at Glastonbury on the TV got me dancing around the sitting room with my Jack Russell jumping up my legs. Although I don’t think it was necessarily the music that got him going.
Although the songs are simple and the chorus was often sung over the same chords as verse, you don’t notice because your ear just follows one top line hook after another and every top line instrument be it vocal, guitar, horn or keys, leads you to the next. I know some people could not stand disco, but I love dancing and Nile Rodgers and writing partner Bernard Edwards were kings of disco music!
