Before Nile Rodgers & CHIC set the Tiny Desk off, the icon
established a sort of mission statement for the group's sound:
"If we can funk in this, you know we can funk." They surely
can. In stints since 1972, CHIC has assured its position as
funk ambassadors - a position its members clearly relish -
and no space is resistant to their grooves. When Rodgers
asks singer Kimberly Davis to show the audience "how we
do it in the CHIC organization," she launches into high
powered vocals that vaporize every note. And when he asks
drummer Ralph Rolle to lead them to "maximum funkocity,"
Rolle ignites call-and-response with an electrified crowd.
As the ringleader of the CHIC experience, Rodgers crams
a lifetime's worth of nightlife into every strum of his guitar.
Rodgers' career is epic in both scope and impact. The 1979
CHIC album RisquΘ was a disco milestone that became a
hip-hop cornerstone. Standing at inflection points for two
different genres is enough to make a career, but Rodgers
was far from done. An incomparable songwriter and session
musician, his call sheet as a producer is emblematic of his
immense range: David Bowie, Diana Ross, Madonna and
Mick Jagger, just to name a few. His work is embedded in
the very fabric of popular music, and he continues to add
to his resume decades after first making changes to the
sonic landscape. In 2014, Rodgers won the Grammy for
record of the year with Daft Punk. This year, he amassed
more honors for his work on BeyoncΘ's RENAISSANCE.
His wondrous set spans his massive catalog - songs he wrote
for CHIC, songs he wrote with collaborators, songs he wrote
for other stars and a surprise song he wrote for a classic
movie. Throughout, Rodgers is the pulse for an ever-amplifying
funk. The band's performance of "I'm Coming Out" builds to
a rip-roaring sax solo. A rollicking performance of "We Are
Family" breaks down in the middle before erupting to a
triumphant finish. And atop the rippling bassline of "Good
Times," Rodgers breaks into an impromptu version of "Rapper's
Delight," which samples the song. It all leads to the maximum
funkocity of Bowie's "Let's Dance," a tribute to the genre's
reach and power.
