History
Chic formed in New York City in 1972, when guitarist Nile Rodgers and bassist Bernard Edwards began playing together as The Boys, then The Big Apple Band, before settling on the name Chic in 1977 after adding drummer Tony Thompson and singer Norma Jean Wright. The group built a lean, groove-driven sound that fused disco with R&B, funk and rock, and by the late 1970s had become one of the era's defining acts with singles like "Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah)" and "Everybody Dance" (both 1977). Their biggest hit, "Le Freak" (1978), reportedly grew out of a jam session after Rodgers and Edwards were turned away from Studio 54 on New Year's Eve; it sold more than six million copies and was later added to the US National Recording Registry. "Good Times" (1979) became one of the most sampled basslines in music, forming the foundation of the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" and influencing Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust." Rodgers and Edwards also wrote and produced Sister Sledge's "We Are Family" and Diana Ross's "Upside Down" and "I'm Coming Out."
