Odds are, you've heard the 1979 R& B/Disco/Pop classic, "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge, either on the radio or a wedding reception. You might even know it as the anthem for the 1979 World Series Champion, Pittsburgh Pirates.
Producer Nile Rodgers (along with his business partner and friend, Bernard Edwards),wrote the smash hit.
Rodgers and Edwards also formed the late 70's Disco/R& B group, Chic.
Although disco died, Rodgers went on to become an even bigger solo producer; working with such artists as David Bowie, Duran Duran and Madonna.
Rodgers chronicles his illustrious career (and his battles and ultimate triumph over alcohol and drugs) in his new memoir entitled Le Freak: An Upside Down Story of Family, Disco, and Destiny.
Le Freak is more than another story about a self-indulgent musician. It's testament to the resiliency of the human spirit.
