Did anyone else get chills when the delay kicked in!? Forever a legend
-
Fun fact: When Nile had completed the drums and presented the track to David, Nile asked him "Have I made it too funky?" Bowie replied "Is there such a thing, Nile?"
-
Every Guitarist should study Nile Rodgers....master of funk, dance riff.
-
Let’s Dance is an other worldly kind of funk. It merges a blues thing, a funk thing and a pop thing. It was a hit almost 40 yrs ago & it still can straight CRASH a dance floor. I came here after watching Nile Rodgers on NPR’s Tiny Desk.
-
This guys is one of the greatest session musicians to ever live. Has Fender done a signature strat for him yet?
-
I could watch this stuff all day everyday. The evolution of a song is fascinating!
-
Thanks, Nile. Your talent gave us so many classics! Loved his work with Duran Duran on their NOTORIOUS album as well.
-
Yeah, Nile wrote the guitar riff for this song. Bowie just provided him with a seed. Great story and Stevie Ray was a great addition to Bowie's sound as well.
-
Nile deserves a documentary on your channel!
-
How can anyone not like this guy? Living legend that is masterful at his craft.
-
The chords Bowie came in with sounded like Heroes. Unbelievable what Nile made out of that simple idea.
-
If you want “an album of hits” then you can do no better than hiring Nile Rodgers to produce it. It also didn’t hurt having Stevie Ray Vaughan play lead guitar. When I first heard the song, it was the guitar solo that really struck me, and I had no idea who SRV was yet!
-
Bowie, Nile, Omar, Carmine, SRV. That seems to be an awesome session...
-
Nile you are one of the remaining great ones still among us. God bless you my Brother and thank you for touching Our Lives..
-
Nile is not only a genius but one of the coolest cats on the planet. 5-star human being. his music is the soundtrack of my early youth. THANK YOU NILE RODGERS <3
-
Nile Rodgers is a musical genius, and his guitar playing is brilliant.
-
Nile Rogers for president
-
I've heard Nile tell this story before, and I'll gladly listen to him tell it again. Been a fan nearly all my life -- since "Dance, Dance, Dance". He's an American treasure.
-
That's why Milwaukee Musicians Love NILE 👊🏾
-
this is the creative process. this is a perfect example of just what he says, he describes and gives examples of...applicable to all genres
