Day 0423 - C'est Chic

Chic "C'est Chic" (1978)

 
A big hit from the short-lived height of disco, before the widespread "disco sucks" movement kicked in.

It's a mix of disco, and what I'd term "soft funk". Not a bad album, and pretty influential, as the light-funk guitar style would be borrowed wholesale by many post-punk rock and pop bands.  Arguably even the 00 indie-rock bands were taking notes from this directly or indirectly. Grooves from the album were sampled by the emerging rap movement too.
