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

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

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? Surely one must approach it with the respect it deserves, 'cause it launched a great band's career. I've wondered if people in the disco's really noticed the distinct quality of the first Chic hits, or just thought of the...
