This is going to be the very best way to celebrate Christmas at Acapela – come along and here all the hits and kick off your Christmas in style! Le Freak feature a superb 8 piece band -2 singers, guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, sax and trumpet.
Nil Rodgers is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee. He received six Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement/Special Merit Award. In 2023, Rolling Stone placed Rodgers 7th on a list of the 250 greatest guitarists of all time, writing: “There’s ‘influential,’ then there’s ‘massively influential’, then there’s Nile Rodgers… a true innovator who never slows down, still making history with his guitar.”
Chic released their self-titled debut album in 1977; it featured the hit singles “Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah)” and “Everybody Dance”. The 1978 album C’est Chic included “I Want Your Love” and “Le Freak”, with the latter selling more than seven million singles worldwide. The song “Good Times” from the 1979 album Risqué was a number one single on the pop and soul charts, and became one of the most-sampled songs of all time, predominantly in hip-hop, starting with the Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight”.
Rodgers wrote and produced music for other artists, including the songs “He’s the Greatest Dancer” and “We Are Family” (for Sister Sledge) and “I’m Coming Out” and “Upside Down” (for Diana Ross). After Chic’s breakup in 1983, Rodgers produced albums and singles for other artists, including David Bowie’s Let’s Dance; “Original Sin” by INXS; Duran Duran’s “The Reflex” and “Notorious”; and Madonna’s Like a Virgin. He worked with artists including The B-52s, Jeff Beck, Daft Punk, Mick Jagger, Grace Jones, The Vaughan Brothers, Bryan Ferry, Christina Aguilera and Lady Gaga. He won three Grammy Awards in 2014 for his work on Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories, and two in 2023 for his work with Beyoncé on her album Renaissance.
