The Chic organisation - geniuses or what ?

Totally get the association of skates w Chic, now that you show me that, thanks.
I got this from the bargain bin long ago, so maybe the minimal price makes me lenient, but always enjoyed Chic's Soup For One soundtrack: they get Carly singing reggae, well kind of, and it's one of the best things I ever heard her do. Also got Teddy Pendergrass, Sister Sledge, not at their best, but effective here, Fonzi Thornton earns the spotlight, the Debbie Harry track works as a change of pace, well kind of, and several fine Chic tracks, incl the long version of "I Need Your Love," same as the 12-inch single, I think though this play list substitutes the 7" edit, but still fine, ditto Nile's acoustic solo guitar "Tavern On The Green":

Nile and Bob Clearmountain on making "Let's Dance" and the album---a lot of the best comments are about Chic's role, so I'll put it here first:

The “Modern Love” story at the end is awesome.

We really do need to do that artist poll for these guys.
