OMG !! I was a fixture on the dance floor late '77-'79 - while Chic was popular - we even did The Freak ! Whenever Le Freak would come on everybody just headed for the elevated dance floor (unless they were already there ) - you had to get there quick or there was no room left. The music they played - funk and all that - I wish I could go back to those days. We had way more fun than I see in the bars today and all we did was drink and dance the night away. Lord did we have a blast !!!
CHIC is recognized as the best "real" band from the Disco Era. Nile Rodgers guitar rifts and Bernard's bass guitar are still legendary. You can imagine how the pentagon crowd was digging their music at the ball. The in-patients at our ball (over 150+) were digging them live, even dancing in wheelchairs, a real special evening.
