This is one of the albums I put on and suddenly think, "hey who is that vibraphone player?" And it turns out it's, once again, David Friedman, one of the cats who played with everyone and is such a humble person. No ego, but a great musician and also great teacher. I was lucky enough to have lessons from him at UdK Berlin and I am a bit ashamed to tell that back in those days I didn't know at all who he was. If you hear vibraphone in funky grooving music since the 70's it's probably him. See his huge discography at Discogs. But apart from him, Chic is such a great band, this was their first album. Everybody knows their songs, they are timeless and they are as catchy as they are of really high quality. No wonder, Chic's Nile Rodgers (guitar player/producer) and the unfortunately deceased Bernard Edwards (bass) worked with the greatest on this planet and Rodgers still does. Rodgers/Edwards songs made the world dance, and still do.. A Chic concert is always fun, their energetic performances still make everybody dance..
Everybody dance!
... and here's a beautiful love song with a David Friedman intro..
