DARYL EASLEA
EVERYBODY DANCE: CHIC AND THE POLITICS OF DISCO
OMNIBUS PRESS
★★★★
Chic – and particularly its mainstay Nile Rodgers – thoroughly deserved their critical re-evaluation and resurgence experienced throughout the 2000s. Perhaps an instigating factor in that renewed interest was Daryl Easlea’s superb biography, Everybody Dance, originally published in 2004 and now fully revised and updated to include Rodgers’ subsequent appointment as Godfather Of Pop.
