BLACK HISTORY MONTH MOMENT OF ZEN: 1970s COFFEEHOUSE EDITION

Here is Chic's song "Le Freak" , which was a #1 hit in 1978. I danced to this song in a 3rd grade talent show. Unfortunately all footage of that magnificent performance has been lost... so you'll just have to watch the actual music video. If the guitar playing sounds familiar, that's because Chic's guitarist, Nile Rodgers, was featured in Daft Punk's "Get Lucky."
