Nile Rodgers, a legendary figure in the music industry, has achieved sales of over 100 million records. As a co-founder, songwriter, producer, and guitarist for the band Chic, he played a pivotal role in shaping the sound of the 1970s during the disco era. Alongside his musical collaborator Bernard Edwards, Rodgers encapsulated the spirit of New York’s legendary Studio 54, producing a series of hits for groups like Chic and Sister Sledge. However, the very music that propelled Chic to fame also led to their downfall due to the “Disco Sucks” movement. What seemed like a potential career-ending moment for Rodgers turned into a fresh start, as he went on to produce some of the most iconic tracks of the 1980s for artists such as Diana Ross, David Bowie, Madonna, and Duran Duran. This documentary offers an insightful and candid interview with the ever-charming Rodgers, who shares his story of growing up in New York with Beatnik parents battling heroin addiction, picking up a guitar in his teenage years, and mastering his craft to become one of the most successful artists in the disco genre.
