AnnotationTaking their sartorial cues from the splendidly attired R&B-influenced British art-rockers Roxy Music, and their musical influences from the disco floor, Chic were a byword for danceable sophistication from the mid-1970s to the early '80s. EVERYBODY DANCE is British music writer Daryl Easlea's detailed account of the band's roots in black revolutionary politics (band founder Nile Rodgers was once a member of the Black Panthers), '60s rock & roll, and the Muppet Show (in which two of its singers performed in the early '70s), and its timely appearance on a scene dominated by the hedonism of the denizens of New York's Studio 54 discotheque. However, as Rodgers relates, Chic's biggest hit, "Le Freak," was, ironically, composed at a jam session after the band had just been refused admission to the fabled nightspot. Easlea critiques many of the band's most famous tracks, including "Lost in Music" and "Good Times," laying bare the band's recording techniques as well as spotlighting the members' varied personalities and their reactions to fame. Though Chic didn't survive disco's demise, Easlea describes successful subsequent production careers of founder members Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers. Edwards's death in 1996 is poignantly memorialized, as is that of drummer Tony Thompson in 2003.
