RADIO DISCO

Chic’s third album finds the band working at full power on “Good Times,” a disco anthem with touches of wistfulness and a hint of mortality. As always, the rhythm section’s interplay is tight and inventive, while songs such as “My Forbidden Lover” and “Can’t Stand to Love You” further stretch the perimeters of the Chic style and its emotional possibilities. –Rickey Wright

User Reviews

This is a mixture funk, disco and a couple smooth "chill out" songs that are great for the ride home from work. -- Smooth and Funky

Mr.Rogers at his best. Chic IS the 70's, and like everything else they've done, this is smooth as glass. Shame on you if you haven't added this to your collection. -- C'mon, can this group make anything NOT good?!

CHIC had struck creative PLATINUM on this album ,which by far is their BEST, this record had all the right things going for it! production, music and good vocals ,they took soul and made it MODERN, CLASSY and HIP.
another one to put in your collection........TIMELESS -- DISCO MASTERPIECE

I was in the 10th grade and I remember going to the neighborhood Record shop and buying this album earned from some cash I made mowing a lawn. As I recall on the Dick Clark Rockin' New Years eve show Chic performed "Good Times" for the 1980 new years celebration,it was a blast.I also brought that Queen album with "another one bites the dust" and Queen made the bass line slightly different enough to avoid any lawsuits. (the Sugarhill Gang had previously settled for pirating the Bass line on "Good Times".) I later lost the album when I lent it too a friend of mines and learned it was later damaged, I accepted some cash and never repurchased the album until now on disc, it's a great album. Now Nile Rogers is the only man standing from this ensemble R.I.P....Tony&Bernard. -- at the end of 79'

Following up "C'est CHIC", "Risque" is the band's best all around effort ever. Nile Rodgers and the late Bernard Edwards sail thru this album with tight structure, and the late Tony Thompson's drums will have you moving in motion in no time. A must have!! -- Chic at it's Greatest
