Chic: C'est Chic
Richard Williams, Melody Maker, 9 December 1978
DISCO, THE People's Music, is the modern blues: the truest expression of a generation's thoughts, bitter sweetness with a backbeat. The old blues celebrated the things that money could buy: cars, sex, a measure of freedom; disco tells us what to do with that freedom.
