    It's great to hear a famous person in any field, give credit to the less and unknown people often doing the hardest tasks behind the scenes, like the engineer on Let's Dance, who are essential in making shit happen. Nile Rogers tops it off by giving thanks to all that payed enough attention to realize his talent, utilize it, and give him the opportunity to solidify his place on the map. They made a very wise choice.

    As much as I am a stone-cold Bowie fan, "Let's Dance" is basically Nile's song, (from a musical and not lyrical sense). Nile has what so few few musicians have and that's a death grip on music theory. But it's only in the break that you can tell it's Bowie's composition. Props to Bowie for recognizing and synthesizing soul (he called his music "plastic soul"... *plastic in the true sense of the word, able to be synthesized* ) and his uncanny knack to surround himself with the best personnel around to achieve his vision. There's nothing wrong with this...all art builds on what comes before, there's no creation in a vacuum. What "came before" was Nile's solid reputation as a funk master. The result, the synthesis was "Let's Dance".

      @@electrix6751 I love Stevie Ray's contribution to the song, but it's a bit of a stretch to say that his solo is what made it a hit. As Rogers makes clear in this video, it was a collaborative effort between Bowie, Rogers, Bob Clearmountain (the engineer), Stevie Ray, and others. Nobody gets sole credit for making it a hit.

      If you watch Bowie do Let's Dance live at Glastonbury (2000) you can see just how much it really was his sing. Bowie had an incredible ability to be curious about anything relating to performance and music. It meant he had a knack for going along with a better idea and bringing it together to create something special. I don't take anything away from Nile though - his credits on so many different artists music, and his own, make him someone that I sit up and take notice of when I hear he is/was involved. I can be sure it's going to be enjoyable. Cooler than Cool.

Are you freakin kidding me, of course that's why @4:32 his "...career got a big boost." LMAO! His "string of really cool records" reads like a top forty countdown of my life at 14years old in 1985 INXS "Original SIn", Duran Duran's "The Reflex" "Wild Boys" "Arena" "Notorious", Madonna's "Like A Virgin", Robert Plant's "The Honeydrippers" David Lee Roth.

      It's actually not as hard as you think when you have teams of people. These days, every kid is used to doing everything himself in garage band so it takes years but I do a lot of session work with some big producers from the 80s and they love to talk about how they spit out entire albums back then like water because the major label budgets could afford teams of people. And not just teams, but people who were phenomenal at their jobs, so no time is wasted.
      I've heard stories about songwriters writing the stuff, handing it off to the producers who had engineers setting up the recording sessions. The session musicians playing the stuff, the engineers recording it, then handing it off to the mixers to mix it. While all this is going on, the songwriters are writing the next song. By the time they hand off the song to mix, the songwriters are done with the second song. and the process starts over again.
      A lot of dance music in the early 80s that were hits were done like this. An entire album of dance stuff was done in 2-3 days and then they'd bring in the artists and the rest of the week or so was spent with her learning her parts and and recording her vocal tracks.
      It's a great way to work but sadly the economics of today can't afford it.

The next day the master tape was flown to the UK, the single pressed up and released and it was in the UK charts less than a week after they recorded it! Almost all of "Hunky Dory", "Ziggy Stardust" and "Aladdin Sane" were 1st or 2nd takes of songs they'd just heard!

    Nile, sir, you are a sweetheart of a guy. You have superb stories to tell. You were great on TV on "that Monday". This is awesome. Loved your China Girl story too. You work hard. My salute. So much affection for Bowie from you and Garson.

      That section does sound like the guitar in Daft Punks “Lose Yourself to Dance”, which Rodgers also helped to produce.

      Well, as great as it is, at the time, that sounded a bit dated.

    Saw Nile Rogers jamming real hard jazz in a New York Bar. Absolutely brilliant player. Fluid, Rhythmic, Melodic, inventive. One of the best nights of improvised live Music I have heard.
