In the lobby of the upscale-gunslinger Driskill hotel last month, guitarist and producer Nile Rodgers was recounting everything from his great friendship with David Bowie to lost New York bohemia, suburban racism and dropping acid with Timothy Leary when a middle-aged British woman walked up to his table.

Nile Rodgers should be exhausted. Yesterday, fresh off the plane from from London where he’d packed in a BRIT Awards appearance and countless hours in the booth, the music icon immediately threw himself into all-night session with a group of friends. As he picks up the phone to Another Man, the sexagenarian Chic legend has got barely three hours’ sleep inside him, and yet it sounds like he’s bouncing off the walls.

Add a comment Add a commentIn 2015, Nile Rodgers and his legendary act Chic was supposed to release its first album since 1992. Dubbed It’s About Time, its title would turn out to be an ironic one considering it’s been delayed since, with sudden passings and medical issues getting in the way. From his disco smashes with Chic ("Le Freak," "Good Times") to collaborations with David Bowie ("Let's Dance") and Madonna ("Like a Virgin") in the '80s and the more recent Hot 100 No. 2 hit "Get Lucky" with Pharrell and Daft Punk, the upcoming album is meant to be a reflection of his unique and evolving career.

Add a comment Add a commentDavid Bowie, Diana Ross, Madonna, Al Jarreau, Grace Jones, Sister Sledge, Daft Punk — and, of course, Chic. What do all of these artists have in common? Nile Rodgers. Over four decades, Rodgers has produced some of the most recognizable songs in pop music, and countless artists have sampled his work. His contributions to music are finally being recognized with his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later this year.
