Tellement de HIStory Ici

Marcher sur Planète C

Tellement de HIStory Ici


Aujourd'hui, direction Bremen, Allemagne. Par le passé, CHIC s'y est rendu de nombreuses fois pour un show TV qui s'appelait Musikladen. On l'a fait avec tout le monde; de Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show à The Jackson 5.

Quand on a enregistré le show avec The Jackson 5 il y a eu une sorte d'alerte à la bombe. Une de nos violonistes était à ce moment là au maquillage avec Michael. Durant l'alerte, Michael était plus inquiet de son maquillage que de la bombe qui aurait pu exploser. Il y a quelque chose de super-show-business là dedans.

J'aimais beaucoup Michael et nous aimions nous (re)voir. Notre dernière rencontre c'était lorsque j'ai joué sur son HIStory album. Ma dernière fois à Bremen c'était à la fin 70. Je suis impatient d'y revenir. Il y a Tellement de HIStory Ici.

You will hear a Nile Rodgers song today. It will make you happy.

Today's pop music—genre-crossing, gender-bending, racially mixed, visually stylish, and dominated by dance music with global appeal—is the world that Nile Rodgers created. In the 1970s and 1980s, he wrote and produced the songs that defined that era and everything that came after: "Le Freak," "Good Times," "We Are Family," "Like a Virgin," "Modern Love," "I'm Coming Out," "The Reflex," "Rapper's Delight." Aside from his own band, Chic, he worked with everyone from Diana Ross and Madonna to David Bowie and Duran Duran (not to mention Mick Jagger, Debbie Harry, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, Prince, Rod Stewart, Robert Plant, Depeche Mode, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Grace Jones, Bryan Ferry, INXS, and the B-52's), transforming their music, selling millions of records, and redefining what a pop song could be.
