Nile Rodgers talks OJ Borg through some of his biggest hits and the stories behind them.
From forming Chic, to working with Madonna, David Bowie, Diana Ross, Sister Sledge and Daft Punk, to name just a few, he’s soundtracked dancefloors for decades.
All the songs you’ll hear have a unique story.
The accidental role Grace Jones played in the creation of ‘Le Freak’.
Sister Sledge being unsure of the direction he wanted to take them in when they started working together.
The English singer Nile was with when he first met David Bowie.
What Diana Ross wanted to achieve with ‘Upside Down’.
Madonna deciding she wanted to work with him after just one conversation.
Only needing a couple of hours to sprinkle his magic on Daft Punk’s ‘Random Access Memories’ album, and why the re-imagining of ‘Everybody Dance’ makes him emotional.
Nile Rodgers is an American guitarist, singer-songwriter, record producer and arranger.
