One of the biggest disco hits ever written started with two words shouted by a doorman.
Not very polite words.
Nile Rodgers turned them into Le Freak.
This week’s Twelve Inch explores the story.
Side A = the history
Side B = the rabbit holes.

It’s time for a rewatch.

"I Want Your Love" is a song by American band Chic from their second studio album #CestChic (1978). Featuring a solo lead vocal by #AlfaAnderson, the song became a very successful follow-up to their hit single "#LeFreak". According to #KathySledge.
I revived a boy band memory with AI.
Lost it all during the Kuwait war. One photo + Flow Veo3 = this video to Le Freak by Chic.
رجعت ذكرى فرقتي الموسيقية باستخدام الذكاء الاصطناعي.
كل شيء ضاع في حرب الكويت، لكن صورة واحدة وFlow Veo3 صنعوا هذا الفيديو.

It's fun to hear an old song anew.
Since I saw #LutherVandross doc, when Chic #LeFreak comes on XM, I hear all! the! parts!
As kids/dancers, you just wait for "spinning all around" & the downbeat before FREAK OUT! But Nile Rodgers' 🎸riffs! & every little section! 🙌 www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXgS...
Hate this song.
