Intro

Formed in New York City in 1976, the American band Chic blends rhythm and blues with funk rock. Founded by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, the group achieved significant success during the late 1970s with iconic disco hits released through Buddah and Atlantic Records. The ensemble viewed their work as a rock-oriented contribution to the disco era. Today, Rodgers continues to perform under the name Nile Rodgers & Chic.
