La fin de ma marche matinale
Tôt ce matin, je me suis baladé dans l'air vivifiant. En partant, je me suis retourné et j'ai vu les reflets du Soleil Levant sur ma maison. Je ne sais pas pourquoi ils m'ont fait penser à Bernard Edwards, mon ancien partenaire et co-fondateur de The CHIC Organization. Il est décédé il y a quinze ans. Plus tôt cette année, la chaîne japonaise WOWOW a réalisé un documentaire sur moi dont une partie importante traitait de la mort de Bernard, au Japon, connu comme le pays du Soleil Levant.

Today's pop music—genre-crossing, gender-bending, racially mixed, visually stylish, and dominated by dance music with global appeal—is the world that Nile Rodgers created. In the 1970s and 1980s, he wrote and produced the songs that defined that era and everything that came after: "Le Freak," "Good Times," "We Are Family," "Like a Virgin," "Modern Love," "I'm Coming Out," "The Reflex," "Rapper's Delight." Aside from his own band, Chic, he worked with everyone from Diana Ross and Madonna to David Bowie and Duran Duran (not to mention Mick Jagger, Debbie Harry, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, Prince, Rod Stewart, Robert Plant, Depeche Mode, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Grace Jones, Bryan Ferry, INXS, and the B-52's), transforming their music, selling millions of records, and redefining what a pop song could be.
