“If we played a two-hour show, the blood would be dripping down the bass!” Nile Rodgers on what made Bernard Edwards a bass genius – and the making of some iconic 4-string moments

American band Chic, with members guitarist, music producer, songwriter, composer, and arranger, Nile Rodgers, bassist and also music producer, songwriter, and composer, Bernard Edwards, drummer Tony Thompson, and singers Luci Martin and Alfa Anderson. .

With Chic, bassist Bernard Edwards brought a new sophistication to late-'70s disco with hits like Le Freak and Good Times, songs propelled by his stylish funk basslines and guitarist Nile Rodgers' signature chicken-scratch sound.

Rodgers and Edwards, who co-founded the group, also went on to write and produce hits for others, including the 1979 smash We Are Family for Sister Sledge and I'm Coming Out and Upside Down for Diana Ross.
