This song popped into my head today. I lost one of my heroes- Basketball Hall of Famer Lenny Wilkens- player / coach with my late Seattle SuperSonics.
This song was on the radio when we were marching to the championship when I was 15.
Thinking of you and those wild, fun days today Lenny!
Nile Rogers is a funky genius songwriter and player. - I don't care if it is disco to some people.
His partner Bernard Edwards was a great bass player too.
This riff and the We Are Family riff are classic!
Kurt
Still love those sisters- Kathy, Joni, Debbie and Kim Sledge!
Might as well.
We're all family here :-)
Nile wrote these songs for Sister Sledge. Lead singer Kathy wasn't even 18 yet I don't think.
Kurt
Only a matter of time until Nile got up on here. Thanks Kurt - I love Chic. Bernard is awesome. Kathy's vocals on this are a great "singable guitar solo" - I might work on that.
That is such a cool idea Clay!
Kurt
Love the sound of the guitar here Kurt.
I can imagine Tomo playing that funk on the guitar between the synth drums conga.
