**I recall a certain DR C dropping Chic knowledge on ILM. "Martin's Funk Thread" was interesting if a tad ah eccentric, was Chic even on that? I can't remember.**

Hello.

when I saw Funksdelic/Parliament @ the Apollo in 1980

Here's the part of the thread where I turn bright green with envy.

To answer the original question: I assume it's either Fonzi Thornton on the high end of the scale and Bernard Edwards on the low ("Soup for One," "Flashback")

My best Christmas present is a Chic thread in the sandbox. Thanks all.

Good on Xgau for reminding us how good those post-peak Chic albums are.

That's a nice Ben Ratliff article, not Xgau.

Too band this show did not happen:

In 2004, inspired by what the musical “Mamma Mia!” did for Abba’s back catalog, Mr. Rodgers imagined a Broadway show featuring his own songs, and those he produced, as the backbone, a kind of index of pop in the second half of the 20th century, moving through various cultural movements, cutting across race and class and sexual identity. It didn’t happen, but Mr. Rodgers had already framed the narrative and found the connective threads to his own story, which became the memoir.
