The guy really needs no introduction. Nile talks to PBS host Tavis smiley about his life as a musician and a producer. For anyone who`s a fan of his work, you`ll find a few nuggets of info in this 30 minute programme that will delight you.
For a man considered a `Disco great` he has worked in many other disciplines of music that are million miles away from a thumping 4/4 beat. in fact, until he met Bernard - the other part of chic - he was a classically trained musician who`d hadn`t played anything that could be classified remotely as being funky.
You also get the lowdown on the stories behind albums and singles - and not just his own. Rock music has had the benefit of having its history being detailed in many ways - especially true of 1970`s ... whereas Disco and it`s offshoots has never been inspected in quite the same way. So interviews like these are riveting.
The guy is a legend ( ... and very humble with it too.)
