Chic “Good Times”
The Group Chic was eons ahead of its time in the 70s putting together a group with class and fineness making stellar baselines and guitar riffs that could bring a dance floor in a retirement home to life. Nile Rogers, the only surviving male member of the group, is enjoying a whole new fan base from the single “Get Lucky” with Pharrell and Daft Punk. Good Times is by far Chic’s most stellar effort that seems to have a life of its own with no plans on retiring soon. The song got a second life not long after its release on the history-making first major rap record Rapper’s Delight. The late Sylvia Robinson stated she used a new band in the studio to replay the instruments on the song after she was criticized for falsely using a sample of the original.
