Those Chic people were responsible for a great deal of the joy of my childhood.

Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards of Chic wrote, produced and arranged some of the greatest disco songs. All of Chic's songs, Diana Ross' songs (including Upside Down), Duran Duran's A View To A Kill, and this.

This wonderful song.

This song reminds me of so many great parties.

It was also sampled by Will Smith in his 1997 hit, Getting Jiggy With It.

Rest in peace Joni Sledge.

How and when did Project Fame begin?

In my eyes, Project Fame began with. . . Irene Cara in 1980.

I'm gonna live forever!
I'm gonna learn how to fly (High)!
I feel it coming together.
People will see me and cry (Fame)!
I'm gonna make it to heaven!
Light up the sky like a flame(Fame)!
I'm gonna live forever!
Baby, remember my name!
(Remember, remember, remember,
remember)

Every Saturday morning on LTV (later moved to 7:30pm on weekdays).

Do you also remember

What a feeling!

?

And that's how Project Fame started.
