Description
Everybody Dance Chic and the Politics of Disco tells the story of one of the most underrated acts in African-American musical history. At the heart of this narrative are Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, the duo behind era-defining records like "Le Freak," "Good Times," and "Lost In Music."
The rise and fall of Chic is set against a changing landscape, taking in significant sociopolitical and cultural events such as the Civil Rights struggle, the Black Panthers, and the U.S. oil crisis. This book provides an in-depth appraisal of a group whose legacy remains hugely underrated.
