What a career – who didn't he produce for? Diana Ross, David Bowie, Duran Duran, Mick Jagger, INXS, Madonna, Grace Jones, Cindi Lauper, Sheena Easton the list goes on and on . . . Al Jarreau (L is for Lover – I forgot I listened to my brother's copy of this record) . . .

"In February 2012, Rodgers announced that he was collaborating with electronic band Daft Punk for their latest album, "teasing out their R&B influences". The record, Random Access Memories was released in 2013. Rodgers co-wrote and played guitar on three tracks: "Give Life Back to Music", "Lose Yourself to Dance", and "Get Lucky"."

I was not aware – but I guess I should have known ? – who played the guitar on "Get Lucky": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3s5D2HnQiE

I saw Nile play last year, Duran Duran hired him as an opening act.

The man still has it. And what really blew me away is that he was up there on stage with the Hitmaker, the 1960 Stratocaster that has sold 100 million albums.

The music video for this song was teased long in advance of the album and it was just unerringly cool at the time.

It was followed by some more teases with some semis in Japan. https://youtu.be/92by5ZdVzEM

Eventually the record dropped though, and to me nothing that came afterward beat this particular track and the brevity of the originally teased music video.

Edit: here’s the teaser. Apparently it was shown at Coachella https://youtu.be/1Ep2NDJXS5g

"Unerringly cool" is the constant Daft Punk descriptor. Those guys had their fingers on and in the pulse for decades, absolute legends. Not to take anything away from Nile or anyone else of course. Just crazy how fresh they managed to stay for so long.
