Le Freak, c'est Chic!

There is nothing I can say about Nile Rodgers that hasn't already been heard by billions of people, in millions of cities, via thousands of radio airwaves, in hundreds of countries.  He's responsible for some of the greatest music ever released, producing classics from Donna Summer, Diana Ross, and Grace Jones, Kylie, Bowie, Gaga and Daft Punk, as well as timeless dance hits Le Freak, I Want Your Love and Good Times with his own badass, funked out disco band Chic.  He's been honored by the Grammys, the Songwriter's Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, played alongside Madonna at Live Aid, is currently on tour with Duran Duran and is presenting the FOLD (Freak Out, Let's Dance) Festival in Forest Hills in October. My iPod would be half empty without this man's profound musical genius, and on top of that he's a really nice guy.
