Had to pause and quickly go rewatch the scene in Coming to America …. Man, it was so funny, and such an amazing cast. Russell did a superb job singing it - and what a treat for Nile as it was a complete surprise

I met Nile once on a redeye from Burbank to JFK. I was a flight attendant at the time, paying the bills while beginning my career as a jazz guitarist. I was practicing on the jump seat with a nylon string guitar while most of the plane slept. Nile came by to use the bathroom and heard me practicing a complicated John Coltrane song. We talked for a little bit, and then he picked up my guitar and played some of the baddest jazz guitar on the same tune. I was not expecting that from the guitar player from CHIC!

I think the drummer was in on this gag (you can see him nod after Russell Graham starts playing keyboard at 11:29, as if they had coordinated this in advance), but it appears to have been a genuine surprise to Nile Rodgers and everyone else in the band.

Those high notes by Russell Graham made me pause the video and reflect on my life for a moment. That was one of the most insane and pleasant surprises I've ever had the pleasure to experience. What a voice... Kimberly and Audrey already had me very emotional, then that man comes and blows me out of the water.

@@karldewet5393 ummmmmmmm......this lineup is relatively new. 45 years? Only Nile R remains from the 70s origins of Chic But this current is certainly a stellar group of musicians and singers

Nile Rogers is 71 years old and rocks this joyfully. It's fantastic!

That Bass player is the BOSS!

My all time favorites Nile Rodgers and Chic!! Best music ever!!

This band…. Tightest group I’ve ever seen. Everyone playing perfectly within themself

Mr. Rodgers is one of the best guitarists ever. It's a shame he doesn't get as much attention as Hendrix, Van Halen, etc. Truly a gem in the music industry and beyond.

Nile Rodgers is what we call a ''musician's musician''. Pratically unknown by the general public, but recognized by musicians as one of the greatest ever.

Aw stop he gets enough quit comparing

My dad was a roadie back in the 70s-80s in Oakland, CA. One night, EWF had a show in San Francisco the same night as Chic in Oakland. I believe Chic was still rather new on the scene, EWF had a large pull. My dad said they set up everything at the Oakland Coliseum (mind you, this is back in the day where you went to the box office to buy tickets so artists didn't really know how to gauge if a show was sold out) and only about 10 people showed up! They invited the staff to sit in the audience to watch and my dad said it was top three one of the best shows he's ever seen in his LIFE! I met Jerry Barnes backstage (the bass player in this video) and told him this story. His eyes were big and he belted laughing because apparently Nile tells this story to EVERYONE and no one ever believes him! Wish I got to tell Nile this story myself! Shoutout to the Maestro himself!!!

So glad that legends like Nile Rodgers are getting their flowers while they’re still with us. He was THAT guy in the 70’s and 80’s and produced and wrote a lot of hits for major r&b and pop acts. Bravo tiny desk!!!

The best tiny desk of all time…. If you ask me 😅😅😅😅😊😊😊

This is up there with the best Tiny Desk concerts. Not only is Nile Rodgers special, but each member in his band are like leaders, down to the keyboardists, saxophone and then the drummer sings lead really? The bassist is off the charts. Great vocals across the board. They don't even need instruments.

Chic, Glastonbury 2017, Sunday. The day was grey and overcast when Chic took to the stage, as they started the sun came out. 150,000 people dancing to the best, most joyous songs ever written. Happiness peaked for me in that 1hr30. This man and these musicians are true purveyors of happiness. Genius.

The "Soul Glow" took me out. I sometimes will randomly burst out singing it too!!! 😂😂😂 That was a random accessed memory. I love Russell!!! This was an amazing concert! Nile Rodgers is iconic and RIP Bernard Edwards. They gave us some legendary tunes that will keep the world dancing for years to come.

By far one of the top 5 concerts! NPR is on a roll with the recent artists.
