| CHIC - "Dance, Dance, Dance" & "Everybody Dance"(American Bandstand, May 13th, 1978). Here we see Norma Jean Wright (original CHIC lead vocal) and the new addition Luci Martin, together with Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards and Tony Thompson as well as Raymond Jones on keyboards. Norma Jean was later forced by contractual circumstances to leave the group sometime around mid-year 1978. Alfa Anderson replaced her as lead vocal. She went on to a solo career, the first self titled, and CHIC produced, album generated classic club hits such as 'Saturday' & 'Sorcerer.' Dancex3 is CHIC's first hit (Billboard: POP#6, Black#6, Disco#1, UK#6) and the second song Nile and Bernard ever wrote as CHIC. "Everybody Dance" is CHIC's second hit (Billboard: Pop#38, R&B#12, Disco/Club#1, UK#9, France#4) and the first song they ever wrote for CHIC. Thanks to Jow for this clip. |
