Those who choose to write off Chic as simply “another disco group” really miss the point. While the group’s creative and commercial peak was indeed during the disco-dominated years of 1978-1980, Chic arguably served as the bridge from the James Brown/Sly Stone pioneering funk of the 60s and early 70s to the electronic dance/funk that came to dominate the mid-80s. Click Here for the full Chic biography
