In the Studio with Nile Rodgers

His scampering funk guitar on Chic's “Le Freak” became a quintessential disco riff, but Nile Rodgers' influence stretched even further. Using dance-club sonics, the veteran producer helped create ‘80s anthems like David Bowie's vamping smash “Let's Dance” and Madonna's epochal “Material Girl”. Rodgers also lent his signature skitter to the lush retromania of Daft Punk's “Get Lucky”.
