Is Jessica Wagner Nigerian? I read up her origins and she happens to be born in Nigeria. Am a big fan of the Chic & Sister Sledge Band and am Nigerian.
tabdoinit -- your right -- this ain't Chic. But considering that Bernie Edwards has passed on, it'd be pretty hard to see the core of the band performing live again. This is from 'Nile Rogers' Chic' -- minus Tony Thomson and the much-missed Bernie -- can't really blame Nile for trying to make a buck or two for his retirement.
Still, this still represents a nicely inspired performance from all involved - I wish I had their chops, I'd be a happy man!!!
@tabdoinit: You are another idiot. That "old queen" is Fonzi Thornton. He's an original member of Chic. And those "Lakers girls" replaced the original girls because they retired. Sylver Logan Sharpe (with the red hair) is every bit as good as the original singers. She is an awesome singer with a unique voice. What would you rather Nile do, sit home for the rest of his life? Jeez, you are a putz.
I agree 100%.This should not even be allowed to be put on here for public viewing.Bottom line is the sound will never be the same without the basslines of the late Bernard Edwards,Tonys sticks and the harmonious sounds of the ladies.People also tend to forget that Bernard Edwards not only played but sang as well.You can't recreate an original.
@ncmelusa I'm still laughing at that last line.The girls sound awful and somebody please confiscate that bass.I understand Niles has to live on but this is a mess.
The only "original" Chic contributor in this video - besides Nile of course - is Fonzi Thornton, who regularly provided background vocals on Chic's biggest hits. He's the guy singing between the current vocalists (Sylver Logan Sharp is on his right with the long red hair). Interesting how Sharp commends the crowd for "knowing the lyrics to every song" when she had just as much to do with the original recording as they did: nothing. LOL.
Who are these women? Hell...this is not Chic!!! Where are the original members? I want to see them. I don't want to see a whored out version. Chic was classy and sophisticated.
It's been almost 35 years since Chic formed... members change. I don't know where the original singers are, but for all we know they might've died -- sadly, that's what happened to Bernard Edwards, during a tour no less :-( .
And saying they're "whored out" is pretty extreme. Is it because one of the singers is showing some midriff? It's not like they're wearing hot pants and bikini tops.
I'd love to see the original members, too, but you can stop time.
I love your response here....I know everyone wants to bring back those glory days (no one more than me) but things do change! I miss the old members, but still glad that Chic is staying the course! Thanks for your comments!
@jcarp413 omg! i love old members too, but just check the "new" stuff from them (i'm talking bout 90s xD, so not much new) and you'll recognize some people, maybe.
As much as I love Chic and respect them a lot...bands should know when they should end, such as Led Zeppellin knew they were over without Bonham. Chic is just not the same without Bernaaard and Tony. I respect Neil Rodgers to the top of the Everest, but seriously, I don´t like this Chic version...
ugh everytime i go on one of these videos i hear some1 moaning `tony thompson rip no1 ever mentions him` wtf do you think the guy was a drummer... drummers take a backseat, they are there to be heard not seen!
CHIC was my favorite band back in the day with the original lineup....with their own unique sound. With this current lineup, they sound like any other generic band....(SIGH)
The male vocalist is Alponso "Fonzi" Thornton. Former best friend and backup vocalist for the late, great Luther Vandross. He has appeared on countless recordings as a backing vocalist. One of his more recent projects is singing background vocals on Aretha Franklin's Christmas album. If you search Aretha on the morning show, you will see him along with other former Vandross backing vocalists including Tawatha Agee (from Mtume "Juicy Fruit" fame), Cindy Mizell and Brenda White.
It is with OMAR HAKIM, the original original drummer of Chic. He came right before Tony Thompson but was replaced by him. And FONZI THORNTON, original male Chic backing vocal. So a good band nevertheless. Even without Bernard. Nile's still there.
love it!
