Chic- Everybody Dance -1978
Check out any House music or club record and if you hear a soulfull female voice with a gospel leanings on a dance track this was the first band of it's type who used that type of voice with Norma Jean Wright. Chic was not just a great Disco group, they were an art- rock band with R&B leanings that wrote great songs, influenced many types of genres from New Romantic, Hip- Hop, Electronica, House Music and Dance Rock. If Roxy Music had an American counterpart it would be Chic led by Bernard Edwards, Tony Thompson and Nile Rodgers. They may have had better songs but this is the first modern Dance music song that would inspire Techno and House artists and producers
