CD Description
DEFINITIVE GROOVE is a strong statement to make in an albumtitle, but in the case of Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards's Chic, it's all too fitting: after all, their epoch-defining hit, "Good Times", was not only a smash on its own, but Edwards's bassline was immediately swiped by the likes of the Sugarhill Gang (on "Rapper's Delight") and Queen (on "Another One Bites The Dust") before becoming second only to James Brown's "Funky Drummer" as the most recognizable hip-hop sample ever. This two-disc, 30-track set contains all the band's hit singles in their original full-length versions, from the sardonic "Dance Dance Dance (Yowsah Yowsah Yowsah)", a thinly veiled attack on anti-disco racism, to the indelible smash "Le Freak" and beyond. Key album tracks and rarities arealso included, making DEFINITIVE GROOVE a superlative anthology.

Customer Reviews

Play that Funky Groove Thang Again and Again: Best of the Best of Chic Compilations
This is a fabulous, funky, generous Chic compilation - and the best of the best of Chic. For a start, the remastered sound is just terrific - you can hear the funk and get into the groove of some of the most danceable tracks ever recorded in recent times. Then there is that this is the only Chic compilation to cover their whole career - from the 'Good Times' of 77-79 to the lesser known gems post-1980. If you are only drawn to the timeless, irresistable hits - these are all present and correct on the first disc, but the second disc is wonderful - including tracks from all their 1980s albums and 1992's comeback 'Chic-ism'. A breathtaking treat of an album and an absolute bargain price wise!
