Slightly to the left of topic. Nile Rodgers has said Roxy was a huge
influence, and as for Fonzi... well we know...

Dance Music Hall of Fame:
Disco was barely a twinkle when I was born, but Gloria Gaynor's "I Will
Survive" was one of the first songs I remember. Her performance had everyone
on
their feet, including producer inductee Nile Rodgers, who was also celebrating
his birthday. ("How's everyone know that?" he wondered earlier. I told him
they
probably planned the whole event just for him.)

Rodgers watched the Chic reunion with a Cheshire catbsized grin, as original
Chic singer Fonzi Thornton, along with Sylver Logan Sharp and Jessica Wagner,
ran through a medley of the band's monster hits, "Le Freak," "Dance, Dance,
Dance," and "Good Times." Rodgers, when accepting his induction, said, "People
always ask me what the proudest moment of my life is, and that's when 'Good
Times' was No. 2 for weeks after 'My Sharona.' And people said dance music was
dead." Funny, they're still saying that. And disco really sucks too.
