Did you know American music legend Nile Rodgers is helping the Trust plant and protect woodland in Northern Ireland? Alongside generous donations to Faughan Valley Woodlands from the We Are Family Foundation (WAFF), Nile has got stuck in with planting on site. Nile and the foundation he co-founded with his partner, Nancy Hunt, are working with us to reconnect fragmented native woods in a region where less than 1% of ancient woodland remains. We caught up with the multiple Grammy Award winner on his latest visit to find out why. We also hear from David Saddington, trustee of both WAFF and the Trust, on why empowering young people to take direct action is key to this work, and we chat to some of those volunteering at this special event.

We protect and plant trees for people to enjoy, to fight climate change and to help wildlife thrive. Nile: But it just made me feel so good. It was so real, it was almost like a drug. So my parents were doing heroin, I was doing music *laughs*. Nile: So I always thought that an artist was the guy trying to be the smartest person in the room, that everybody said, 'well, I wish I could play like him, I wish I could do that'. No, it was the person who touched people's hearts. Nile: We actually had them locked out the studio because we still hadn't finished the lyrics to We Are Family. Nile: Trees do, all plants, but trees, you know, especially, do so much for life. Let's not just talk about the overall environment, life, all life forms that exist. Adam: For 40 years, if you've been on a dance floor, you'll have been dancing to the music of one of our guests today. He co-founded Chic, produced and collaborated with David Bowie, Madonna, Richard Jackson, and well, to be honest, too many others to mention. But to give you an idea of the sort of musical success he's had, I can say that he has produced and performed on records which have sold more than 750 million albums and 100 million singles. Born to teenage parents in an environment where drug use was very much part of his every day, he has come from that background with an attitude to life which is as upbeat and as positive as his music. And together with his partner, Nancy Hunt, they have established the We Are Family Foundation, focused on empowering young people around the world. Together, they're in Northern Ireland, in Derry, to support and protect and indeed restore woodland in this country, and indeed Nile is on the Woodland Walks sofa and joined by one of the trustees of the We Are Family Foundation and indeed the Woodland Trust, David. So we'll come to David in a moment. Why don't we start now where it all started with the music? Reading about you and listening to stuff you've done, my impression is you're the most positive person I've read about and that surprises me because of the disjointed background you grew up in. So two questions. Do you think that's a fair description and if so, why? Nile: So the... the interesting thing about my childhood was that though my parents were heroin addicts, they were extremely loving and they believed in me so much so that, believe it or not, I was never, ever told what to do. They knew that I instinctively would figure it out. Or I was just one of those nerdy, nice kids that they knew would never get into trouble. I mean, I have never stolen anything. I've never, I bullied one kid once and the reason why is because everybody bullied me because I was a nerd. And when I bullied this ki

Chic with Nile Rodgers, People, CNN, ABC, BET, FOX Robin Roberts & Whoopi Goldberg LOVE Them!! Music & Munchies is My Show Theme This Week: Soul Snacks Cookie Company! Music for this Segment: CHIC featuring Nile Rodgers - Let's Dance (Live At The House Sídney 2013) Everyone wants to be a leader in a world where people don’t often possess the experience or expertise to be in the lead. That is gained from mastering the skills and learning to follow. Ralph Rolle is a prime example of learning to follow becoming born to lead. Ralph followed his older brother in learning the drums, but that he led him to becoming a premier musician, who has created music with everyone from super producer Nile Rodgers and his iconic disco/R&B group Chic, pop legends Sting and Bono, the 1st woman inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Aretha Franklin, hip-hop giants Biggie Smalls and Queen Latifah, jazz superstar Chris Botti, the queen of Neo-Soul Erykah Badu, Vanessa Williams, soul crooner D’Angelo, songstylist India Arie, Lady Gaga, Dolly Pardon, Bono, Roger Daltry, John Legend, Joss Stone, Elvis Costello and playing in the resident band for N.B.C. ‘It’s Showtime at The Apollo’ for over 15 seasons. Ralph has also served as the musical director for syndicated “The Caroline Rhea Show” and he served in the same role for Japanese R&B/soul superstar Toshi Kubota. Ralph took the time, any time he had the time, to stop and cook and enjoy life. It helped him to come down from the tension and time on the road that was always in motion. Cooking, another gift he received from his mother, gave him the peace of mind he needed to slow down and breathe. And in learning his way around the kitchen, he started to bake. hat stayed with him and when he was hanging out with his musician friends, he would have his signature cookies. At first they laughed, but quickly the request became “please bring those cookies with you!” Over time, his cookies found their way into the hands of clients such as Westside Market, Franks Market, and many more. Good Morning America host chose Soul Snacks for her holiday gifting in 2011. In 2015, Bette Midler and Ralph met when Nile Rodgers and Chic were the guest artists and Ms. Midler’s annual Hulaween Charity event. Ralph had his “cookie calling card” with him. Ms. Midler loved Soul Snacks so much that she placed orders for her family and friends. Soon, he was selling his cookies at Melba’s, a legendary soul food restaurant in Harlem. The orders poured in and soon, he was featured in CNN, BET, ABC and FOX networks, in New York Times newspaper and in The Source and Vibe magazines. From there, Ralph gave birth to “SOUL SNACKS.” SOUL SNACKS offers a variety of delicious cookies such as Georgia Oatmeal Raisin, Peanut Peanut Butter, Down Home Double Chocolate Chip, Ebony and Ivory Almond Cookie, Grampy’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie, French Cocoa Chocolate Chip, Miami Raisin Walnut, Chunked Up Chocolate Walnut, Cranberry Oatmeal Raisin, Joyful Gingerbread and the most recently added, but now #1 seller, Sweet Potato Cookies. “Inside of every cookie is years of heart, soul and lots of pride that has been the main ingredient of SOUL SNACKS Cookies for over a decade.” All Rights Reserved © 2026 Building Abundant Success!!

Il est aujourd’hui une des grandes stars hsitoriques de la musique, un des rares producteurs à l’être devenu réellement. C’est un type adorable, un des plus doués de sa génération, il se nomme Nile Rodgers. Sûrement la plus brillante des étoiles filantes de l’époque disco. Jugez plutôt, il débarque avec Chic en 1977, multiplie les hits mais aussi les collaborations. Lui qui tirait le diable par la queue avec son complice Bernard Edwards est à présent demandé partout comme cette nuit de la St Sylvestre où Grace Jones les a invités à venir voir son show au Studio 54, LA boîte de nuit new yorkaise du moment. C’est là où il faut être pour rencontrer tout le monde dans une ambiance de folie. Frappant à l’entrée des artistes comme Grace le leur a dit de faire, la porte s’ouvre sur une armoire à glaces qui ne veut rien entendre. Il ne sait pas qui ils sont et n’a rien à faire de leur excuse. C’est raté, les mecs, allez vous faire foutre, crie-t-il en claquant la porte ! Tu vois, tu t’es trompé. Elle a sûrement laissé nos noms à l’entrée. Mais à l’entrée. Rebelotte. Après avoir remonté le long fleuve de la queue, ils ont beau dire qu’ils sont invités par Grace Jones, vous n’êtes pas sur la liste. Après un classique, vous êtes sûr ? Regardez bien, Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards, il leur tourne le dos pour reprendre le cours des invités de prestige dans la file. Bernard et Nile savent qu’ils ne rentreront pas dans ce temple du disco qui joue pourtant leurs chansons mais qui a aussi bâti sa notoriété sur la capacité de son personnel à refuser des gens à l’entrée. Alors pour fêter l’année nouvelle, ils s’achètent des bouteilles de Dom Pérignon et rentrent à l’appartement qu’un pote de Nile lui prête tant qu’il est en tournée. Ils trinquent puis comme ils font toujours, l’un à la guitare, l’autre à la basse, ils font les fous en criant leur frustration : Fuck Off Studio 54. Mais après avoir répété ce délire un grand nombre de fois, Bernard dit à Nile : dis, je crois qu’on tient quelque chose, là. Tu rigoles, Fuck Off ? Personne ne passera ça à la radio. Mais non, attend, il suffit de changer. Qu’est-ce qui pourrait bien fonctionner, aaah freak off, Ouais ça marche ! Mais ça ne veut rien dire. Non mais Freak out ! Ah ouais, comme perdre le contrôle sur la piste de danse, pas bête. Puis un verre plus tard, hé The freak, c’est aussi une danse, et le freak avec les filles, c’est chic! Douze millions de singles vendus plus tard, la naissance de ce classique du disco, maintes fois racontée par Nile lui vaudra d’être contacté par un gars sur les réseaux sociaux. Il se présentera comme celui qui l’a jeté ce soir du 31 décembre 1977 et que s’il avait su qui il était … enfin, il est désolé. Mais comment être désolé, se dit Nile, c’est son karma qui a transformé ce qu’il n’a pas pu avoir, lui faisant gagner plus que ce qu’il aurait jamais pu imaginer.

Opowiadaliśmy już o wielu artystach stojących za wielkimi hitami, ale mało kto może pochwalić się tak imponującą listą komercyjnych sukcesów jak Nile Rodgers. Od własnego zespołu Chic, który w erze disco podbił listy przebojów utworami „Everybody Dance” i „Le Freak”, przez produkcje i współpracę z takimi gwiazdami jak Diana Ross, David Bowie, Madonna, Duran Duran, aż po współczesny triumf z Daft Punk. Nile Rodgers to artysta absolutnie wyjątkowy — jego charakterystyczna gitara sprawia, że wszystko, czego się dotknie, zamienia się w hit. Nic dziwnego, że na swojej wciąż trwającej muzycznej drodze spotykał największych, i nic dziwnego, że to oni cieszą się, gdy chce im pomóc. Zapraszamy na pierwszy odcinek Funkologii w rytmach disco.

For Episode 22 of the UNSUNG podcast Dom Dronska (General Manager, Audiomovers) & Matt Soczywko (Head of Marketing, Audiomovers) were joined by music legend Nile Rodgers at Abbey Road Studios in London. In this very special episode, Audiomovers' Chief Collaborator & Chair of the Advisory Board Nile Rodgers offers an incredible journey through his legendary career. Starting off with his work on Duran Duran's "The Reflex" in 1983 and getting back in the studio with them over 40 years later, he opens up about the challenges of dealing with record label pushback and the impact of the "Disco Sucks" movement, alongside the clever tactics he and Bernard Edwards used to navigate their first record deal. Nile shares his philosophy on collaborating with artists, crafting hit records, and how his experience with small budgets fostered his "one take" recording philosophy in his early days which inspired the writing of certain tracks. He discusses the unconventional method Chic used to break their first hit, "Dance, Dance, Dance," and dives into the technical side of his studio process, discussing his experience with digital and analog recording. He recounts fascinating stories from his diverse discography, including the iconic bassline of "Good Times" and his work on films like "Coming to America" and "Beverly Hills Cop III." The conversation also explores Nile's first experiences with Hip Hop alongside Blondie's Debbie Harry and Chris Stein, growing up in Alphabet City, and his early access to musical education. He also touches on his experiences working with legends like Sister Sledge, Diana Ross on "I'm Coming Out," and Carly Simon on "Why," as well as the story of almost working with Aretha Franklin. Finally, Nile closes on his enduring passion for making music better for others and his commitment to philanthropy through the We Are Family Foundation.➡️ Follow Nile on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nilerodgers➡️ Hear some of Nile’s work - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DZ06evO24hDkk?si=aGNcI_SnRa6eP586ADWF4A➡️ Learn more about Audiomovers - https://audiomovers.com/?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=Content&utm_campaign=UNSUNG_Nile_RodgersTimecode0:00 - 0:34 Intro0:38 - 4:56 Working with Duran Duran and the Story of “The Reflex”4:56 - 6:28 Dealing with Pushback from Record Labels6:28 - 7:57 Staying in Touch with Artists While Moving from Project to Project7:57 - 10:36 The Bassline of “Good Times”10:36 - 11:20 How Working with Small Recording Budgets Made Nile So Efficient11:20 - 14:05 Digital Recording vs. Analog Recording14:05 - 15:25 Does Nile Prefer Recording Analog or Digital?15:25 - 22:27 Nile & Bernard’s First Record Deal22:27 - 23:38 The Impact of the “Disco Sucks” Movement23:38 - 23:53 How Nile Decides Whether He’ll Work with an Artist23:53 - 26:57 (Almost) Working with Aretha Franklin26:57 - 28:52 Wanting to Be a “Self-Contained Band”28:52 - 32:26 How to Get a Hit Record32:26 - 34:32 Working on Commercials to Pay the Rent and Meeting John Landis34:32 - 40:43 Working on “Coming to America” & “Beverly Hills Cop III”40:43 - 42:51 Eddie Murphy Story42:51 - 44:45 “Alphabet City” & the Beginnings of Hip Hop44:45 - 47:17 Nile’s First Experience of “Hip Hop” with Debbie Harry + Chris Stein47:17 - 52:36 Growing Up in Alphabet City + Nile’s Early Access to Musical Education52:36 - 55:44 Working with Sister Sledge55:44 - 58:00 Working on Diana Ross’ Album “Diana” (1980)58:00 - 1:04:00 The Story of “I’m Coming Out”1:04:00 - 1:04:40 Intermission1:04:40 - 1:12:34 The Story of “Why” by Carly Simon1:12:34 - 1:14:32 What Nile Cares About When Working on a Song1:14:52 - 1:15:26 EndUNSUNG is a podcast from Audiomovers.

Episode 78: Omar Hakim. Today on the pod we’ve got one of the most recorded drummers of all time. The legendary Omar Hakim! We went deep for over 2 hours, and unlocked SO MUCH GOLD, so we’re releasing this conversation in two parts. In Part 1, Omar shares the stories behind some of his most iconic recordings, including his legendary session with David Bowie on Let’s Dance, his deep musical relationship with Nile Rodgers, and his time in Weather Report. We also get into the wild story of how he tracked the entire Dire Straits album "Brothers in Arms" (including the questions I’ve always had about Money for Nothing). With this interview, I hope you'll now understand how Omar became the legend he is today. I think your mind will be blown when you hear about the caliber of musicians that were around him since he was a kid! Part 2 drops next week. For now, here’s the first hour of my conversation with the amazing Omar Hakim. ‘Go with Elmo Lovano’ is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.

Am Mikrofon: Marc Mühlenbrock Link zur Webseite „Le Freak“ hat Hits geliefert. Unfassbar viele Hits. Die er entweder geschrieben, produziert oder performt hat – oder alles drei zusammen: „Good Times“, „We Are Family“, „Lost in Music“, „Everybody Dance“, „I Want Your Love“ mit seinen Bands Chic und Sister Sledge. „Upside Down“ von Diana Ross, „Let's Dance“ von David Bowie, „Like a Virgin“ von Madonna. Begonnen hat sein Ruhm mit Disco – Nile Rodgers ist ein Erfinder von Disco. Obwohl er selber zu bescheiden wäre, um das von sich zu behaupten. Und er sieht Disco auch nicht als geschlossene Ära, sondern als Teil eines Dance-Movements, das bis heute anhält. Kann man so sehen, es war nur eben der glamouröse, hedonistische Teil, dessen Bilder aus dem legendären Studio 54 immer noch allgegenwärtig sind und dessen Musik immer noch nachhallt. Auch in Samples von Will Smith, Modjo, Notorious B.I.G. und seiner Witwe Faith Evans, Alcazar und der Sugarhill Gang. Die verwendeten als eine der ersten „Good Times“ – heute ist es der meistgesamplete Song aller Zeiten. Kein Wunder, dass Daft Punk in den Zehnerjahren beschlossen, den Original-Disco-Vibe der späten 70er nochmal heraufzubeschwören – zusammen mit Nile Rodgers. In Episode #104NileRodgers versammeln wir uns mit Kollegin Laura Pöss unter der Discokugel und sprechen über ihre Begegnung mit dem Master himself. Der erzählt von seinen Hits, von alten und jüngsten Zusammenarbeiten und reflektiert die silberglänzende Disco-Ära.

This episode, Tim Burgess is joined for a listening party by Nile Rodgers, to talk about Chic’s 1979 album, their third record, Risque. Nile Rodgers, along with his band Chic’s contributed to music cannot be understated. They are one of the most important artists in the popularisation of disco music in the 1970s. Nile Rodgers himself is one of the greatest guitar players of all time, with a unique style that he continues to lend to leading artists to this very day. He also remains a hugely in-demand record producer, his CV boasting credits on some of the biggest recordings from the likes of Daft Punk, Duran Duran, Madonna, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, INXS the B52-s, Pharrell Williams and so many more. Risque was released on 30th July 1979 on Atlantic.

Funk-guitar wiz and Wong Notes host Cory Wong flips the script and sits in the 100 Guitarists guest chair. Wong cleared his schedule to talk about one Nile Rodgers’ work on the Halo 2 soundtrack. We were lucky that got him to return our call, but we did move on quickly. Wong is a scholar of all things rhythm guitar—and that means all things Nile. We talk about how the Hitmaker voices his progressions—“You hear Nile play a chord progression … and it’s that song”—and the role of rhythm guitar in general. Cory delivers his list of best Nile performances, tips for direct guitar sounds, and most surprising Nile collabs. Ever wonder what it would sound like if Nile Rodgers produced David Lee Roth covering Willie Nelson? Give a listen and drop us a know when you check it out for yourself.
