CHIC ILL BE THERE FULL
The disco era at it’s most musically vital represented a full channeling of Afro-Latin world music,big band jazz and the long form rhythms of funk. This was Chics first 1 on Billboards Dance Club Songs chart since March 21, 1992, when 'Chic Mystique' topped the. And if you come along, Ill be there.' 'When that lyric comes up in the song, it means so much to me,' he said. This reminds me of my favorite lyric in this song which says “I don’t want to live in the past,but it’s a nice place to visit”. According to Rodgers, a key lyric in this song is, 'I dont want to live in the past, but its a nice place to visit. Not to mention the importance of those songs complete embrace by the public in a positive light. Yet it ended with huge popular rappers such as Biggie Smalls and even Will Smith sampling disco/post disco era songs with total pride.

It begins with the rolling percussion of Ralph Rolle,with Jerry Barnes bass weaving itself into the mix for a colorful rhythmic tapestry. Back in the game of hit production work with new artists such as Tensnake and Sam Smith? Nile began fine tuning some discarded tapes recorded originally for Sister Sledge and featuring the late bassist Bernard Edwards and singer Luther Vandross on vocals, and re-introduced his much anticipated comeback with Chic on a new groove entitled “I’ll Be There”.
