Chic
Chic is an American band that was formed in 1976 by guitarist
Nile Rodgers, drummer
Tony Thompson, and bassist
Bernard Edwards. They are best remembered for their
disco songs, including "Dance Dance Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah)" (
1977), "Everybody Dance" (
1977), "Le Freak" (
1978), "I Want Your Love" (
1978), "Good Times" (
1979), and "My Forbidden Lover" (
1979). In the 1980s, the band struggled to obtain airplay and sales and eventually disbanded. In the early 1990s, Rodgers and Edwards regrouped and worked on new material. Edwards died in
1996 in Japan, but Chic continued to tour with new musicians.
