Chic - Dance, Dance, Dance - with Norma Jean Wright & Alfa Anderson singing together on vocals

Image
 This is my favorite popular disco song of the 20th century with Norma Jean & Alfa singing together in unison on vocals - no lead, so here it is now: I love the disco bass line, played by the late Bernard Edwards , rhythm guitar playing by Nile Rodgers , percussion playing, flutes playing, orchestral strings and horns playing and everybody as females and males including Norma and Alfa themselves, Robin Clark , David Lasley , Bernard himself, Nile himself, the late Luther Vandross and Diva Gray singing together in harmony in a family-oriented chorus style on this song. I prefer the edited version of this song that I am happy with, better than the LP version. - Laurie Maitland Here is the story from chictribute.com: The first Chic album...huh?

CHIC - "Falling in love with you" (1977)

Image
Chic-wise. The art of being elegant, sophisticated, classy, posh. The sound of CHIC that changed completely our perception about soulful music. One step beyond Philly Sound with tight compressed grooves combined with unique smoothness!!! Listen carefully to this mellow ballad: Norma Jean Wright on lead and Luther Vandross on backing vocals under the guidance of Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards create instant magic!!!! Taken from their debut self-titled 1977 LP released on Atlantic Records. At that time I was only 12 years old and I had the feeling that music was made in heaven……..

In my opinion, CHIC established the ideal Rhythm Section of all time. Even their ballads (like this one) are flawless!!! October 24, 2008 at 11:40 AM
