Amazing Story I never heard in my life and I love that song and Niles Rodgers is a living legend! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nile is a fantastic story teller. I could hear him talk all day
The irony being Le Freak outlived Studio 54.
I want a full length version of "fuck off" so bad
First vulgar song before rap.
If Studio 54 is no longer around and curse words are in today's music, NOW is a good time to record it.
This man just gets cooler with age!
Nile Rodgers is such a cool genious . He's made alot of people successful . This is why I love the history of rockers . It's those behind the scenes that get me interested .
I literally watch this every day.
Hearing this story for the first time in 2021. I was freaking out to this song back in the day as a kid.
LMAO! He's great! I've heard the story a few times but never from Nile himself.....THE BEST!
How in the world can you dislike this?
Niles influence is so pervasive, Johnny Marr is not only a m8 but also named his boy after him
Great story. Talking about turning Lemons into Leonade. Wow
What a smooth guy ! Love Nile Rodgers !
OMG! Amazing story.
That guitar is the Excalibur of music
This is awesome, one of my favourite bands in early 80s Ghana discotheque scenes.
Excellent....3 of the very best came together....Rodgers, Edwards and Thompson
He's a important piece to Hip Hop music IN ITS ESSENCE!!! Before Sugar hill gang we was scratching & backspinning on turntables GOODTIMES!!!.... bklyn nyc
you can tell Nile has such a kind soul. he's pure genius.
A legend…. Simply…
what a legend
thanks for posting this ! my favorite (artist,writer, performer) of all time ahead of McCartney and whoever and im a 56 year old white rocking drummer. he wrote non racist beautiful songs that left you happy and feeling good. wish he could live forever .
This is just great! Thanks for posting.
I’m dying, thanks Niles, I needed a good laugh.
excellence... this song on earphones or any Chic number is like another dimension.
That was fantastic!!
Nile Rogers is really a deep guy,he even used to be a Black Panther. The man could have been a professional orator had he chose to be for he is that good.His backstories to some of Chic's songs are nothing short of amazing.
Thank the heavens for blessing you with a creative mind, that song will have an impact forever.
love Nile Rogers and Chic - I watch his videos with Adam Lambert all the time - "Shady" "Lets Dance" and "Trespassing" - Nile just gets better, I could listen to him all day
Great history of an all time classic, and Nile always is a very positive person! Love to hear him talk about chic songs and work he did for other artists.
I love this song n I have it in my 80s collection.2021
That was a great story I always wanted to hear it from him he turned a negative to a positive and it became a hit
Great song love it tq Nile Rodgers and Chic
Genius!!
Fantastic
This man never ages!
FUCK OFF LOVE IT!!!!
Nile we love you. H•O•F
WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MAESTRO,,, BRAVO, MUCHAS FELICIDADES Y SALUD, DIOS TE CUIDE.
He's awesome! Great funny Story.
This is great!
Genius
If they don’t made that joke, they will make it to studio 54. Grace must have overheard it.
Pure CHARM💕💕
Lol that Van Halen mention
Man, could you imagine the stories he has?
Nile looks like he's in his 40's in this vid... Sheer UNbelievable......
Freakin hilarious!
Great one
He also leaves out that Studio 54 was already thriving on songs they were playing from the prior album at the same time their doormen are turning away members of the band. In another rendition of this story, he also suggests there was definitely a racist aspect to their being denied entry.
Lol. That was great.
Great story :)
That's very funny.Mama Long Greenville Tx 😘😇
an associate was just telling me this story a couple of months ago....
Number one
Un Maestro
Anybody have the full version of fu off? I need it like seriously.
2021
Funny how "Freak Out" ended became a signature dance song inside of Studio 54 yet the writers were not allowed in. I bet Nile has lots of disco era stories to tell.
DUDE !!
Aaaaaafuckofffff
That is the original demo.
grace jones missed out there
Why did they use strings? Horns would've been so much better.
Waaaaaaaaaa!!!😂😂😂😂😂
