Chic - Good Times (Vinyl Visualizer)

Опубликовано 28 ноября 2024, 14:59

"Chic's 1979 Billboard #1 Disco hit 'Good Times' occupies a unique place in Hip Hop history. Ranked #68 on Rolling Stone's Top 500 Greatest Songs of all time, the song's enduring popularity is closely linked to its relationship with Hip Hop. Its iconic bassline forms the musical body of Sugarhill Gang's 'Rapper's Delight', a landmark record in Hip Hop's progression from block parties and clubs to the world of recorded music. While Fatback Band's 'King Tim III' is widely regarded as the first commercially released record to feature a Rap, 'Rapper's Delight' is the first true 'Hip Hop Record', and 'Good Times' is, as a result, the first Hip Hop sample (albeit replayed by a band rather than sampled directly from the original). But the unique influence of 'Good Times' does not stop there: the track was also sampled on another landmark Sugarhill release, 1981's 'The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel', a live 7 minute DJ mix featuring excerpts of 10 songs by artists including Blondie, Queen and, of course, Chic. 'The Adventures...' is the first commercially released track to be comprised entirely of samples manipulated by turntables and is a pivotal moment in the development of turntablism and DJing as art. Since then, 'Good Times' has gone on to be sampled a staggering 236 times by artists including LL Cool J, De La Soul and The Beastie Boys." - _WhoSampled_
