Nile Rodgers

USA, 1970–now

American guitarist, songwriter and producer (b. 1952), co-founder of Chic. His crisp, percussive 'chucking' rhythm guitar defined disco and, as a producer, reshaped pop across decades — David Bowie's Let's Dance, Madonna's Like a Virgin, Duran Duran, Diana Ross and Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky'.
