Nile Rodgers, the master musician, songwriter, producer and leader of one of the greatest dance music bands of all time, Chic is really back in the swing of things. His collaboaration with the French electronic duo Daft Punk with 'Get Lucky' (which also features Pharrell Williams) has not only given the band the biggest hit of their career, but has been a global phenomemon. In the US it is already being touted as the Song of the Summer and in the UK it  became the first record to sell a million copies in 2013.

So it was very exciting to learn from Rodgers during a recent interview with DJAZZtv that while he was in the Warner Music tape library, he happened across a box which did not belong there, but contained a substantial amount of unreleased music he had worked on, including solo tracks, Johnny Mathis material, film scores and here is where it gets mighty interesting, unfinished Chic songs. Rodgers has plans to work on these Chic grooves and Daft Punk have expressed a desire to get involved. He said "Daft Punk wants to do at least one of them with me, so that should be very cool. Because they respect the music, they understand." So who knows, we may all get lucky one more time. My fingers are crossed.
