Nile Rodgers - BBC4 21:00hrs

[Beach Hut]

Another excellent music show tonight and about probably the greatest Disco artist of all time.

I give Nile Rodgers originally from Chic and has collaborated with the majority of great music people across the globe.

 

[The Modfather]

Should be a good one

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Why did I read it as "Nile Ranger" the ex toon player ?

 

[Albion Dan]

Saw him and Chic at Camp Bestival. That man has written and produced some of the best music ever made from Bowie to Madonna.

 

[getofftheropes]

Thanks for the heads up

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

Good shout

 

[Manx Shearwater]

Will be watching this at some point.

Did anyone see him on Breakfast News (BBC) a month or so ago when the male presenter asked him did he still keep in touch with any members from Chic?

You could have heard a pin drop.

 

[house your seagull]

Not all disco ...

This is one of my favourite records ever.

 

[brakespear]

will have to watch this On Demand, thanks for the heads-up

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Why did I read it as "Nile Ranger" the ex toon player ?

Don't worry, I did the same.

If you ever, ever get the chance to see him live, give your first-born for a ticket: it's an utterly magnificent show, covering not just Chic but Let's Dance, Like A Virgin and some of the Chic-produced Diana Ross stuff. One of best gigs I've ever been to: the great man was in tears at the end with all the noisy, sweaty love from the crowd.

He is also the nicest, most modest guy around: a mate of mine was at a music industry trade conference. Nile Rogers asked a question of the panel during questions; the guy moderating told him off for not stating his job. "Oh sorry, I'm a record producer", he said.

and, of course...

 

[Weststander]

Not all disco ...

This is one of my favourite records ever.

Adore that. Bought it when a teenager.
Thanks for reminding me.

Not an obvious Rodgers record.

 

[Beach Hut]

What a great man Nile is, he is so plain in the way he talks you would never believe what a genius he is.

 

[brakespear]

Just got around to watching this and what a fantastic program it was, and what a nice bloke Nile comes across as.
