• "Chic Cheer" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - ChicNile Rogers and Bernard Edwards were the innovators of Chic. And along with Alfa Anderson, David Lasley, Diva Gray, Luther Vandross, Norma Jean and Robin Clark the first LP in 1977 simply titled “Chic” became a disco staple overnight.
In 1978 “Le Freak” became the theme for disco dance floors all over the country. The second LP titled “C’est Chic” introduced once again a new sound, which became the outline for the crossover between sophisticated funk and disco music.
“Chic Cheer” became a track that was more like the Overture to a Chic concert – it had the guitars of Rogers and Edwards and the sassy vocals and arrangement that crossover classics are made of.
I have take “Chic Cheer” and created a more “dub”-founded mix with many more beats to bounce along with those funky guitars to.
This one is dedicated to my partner, Ken – who insisted that this track be included as a ReStructure. It is his kind of “funk”!
