brilliant!!!!!!!!!! musical equivalent to the greatest works of art i can think of. Should have a jukebox of this music in art galleries!!!! That would liven the place up a bit :)
That is a rare piece of video footage. There's plenty of interviews out there featuring Niall but that's the most I ever heard from Bernard - without question the best bass player to have ever lived. An incredible style - simple and incredibly effective, but difficult to copy - all those off beats. Followed the melody more than the drum beat.
If there's a bass player's hall of fame, Bernard Edwards should hold a prominent place there.
The creativity and groove in his bass lines were amazing!
Looks like Nile and Bernard must have borrowed the guys' in the house band's instruments. I've never seen Nile play a Tele or Bernard play that bass before.
legends...so much talent

Bernard died of pneumonia?! How was that possible? Was something else happening? An amazing bassist. Thanks.

Sylver is Nile and Nard's equal. They met their match when they signed her up.

Nile on a Tele! He doesn't like his work with a telecaster but I do.
And let's here it for Sylver!! She's one of the best singers ever. I bet she's loaded with dough.

I am certain that there are other videos of Bernard playing a Sadowsky Jazz-style bass in the Chic-ism era.

Nice video. Did Sister Sledge copy the basic tune and rhythm of 'Good Times' for their single 'We are Family'? It sounds very much similar!
