Closing out the 2004 Montreux Jazz Festival, Chic featuring Nile Rodgers made sure this festival would end on a high note.Jamming on some of their most memorable funk/disco hits ('Dance Dance Dance', 'Le Freak', 'Good Times'), Chic also throw in a melody of songs written by Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, but originally performed by Diana Ross and Sister Sledge ('I'm Coming Out' / 'Upside Down' / 'He's The Greatest Dancer' / 'We Are Family').

In 1981, a lot of rock & rollers were claiming that the disco era was officially over. Disco, of course, never really died – a lot of the dance-pop, house music, Hi-NRG, and Latin freestyle that was recorded in the '80s and '90s was essentially disco – but as far as many of the radio stations and record company A&R men of 1981 were concerned, disco was dead. And that was bad news for Chic, a group closely identified with the disco era. Even though a lot of Chic's work had as much to do with funk and soul as it did with the Euro-disco sound, Chic was unable to live down its reputation as a disco group. But Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards gave it a try with 1981's Take It Off, an admirable, if uneven, project that finds the group downplaying the Euro-disco elements.
