Chic

Chic is an American band formed in 1976 by guitarist-producer Nile Rodgers and bassist Bernard Edwards, blending disco, funk, R&B and dance music. Their sound is marked by tight, syncopated rhythms, prominent melodic basslines, clean rhythmic guitar parts, polished studio production, and frequent horn and string arrangements. The group's grooves and production approach have been influential on later dance, pop and hip hop music.
