Song of the Day: Good Times, words and music by Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers, first appeared on “Risque,” the third studio album of the disco-soul group, Chic. It is one of the most sampled songs in the history of recorded music and is ranked by Rolling Stone as the #1 Summer Song of all time. Indeed, one of its classic samples was used in the 1979 party rap hit, “Rapper’s Delight,” which I featured on “My Favorite Songs” back on November 16, 2014. Forty-five years ago this summer, this song dominated the airwaves, becoming a #1 Hot 100 and #1 Hot Soul hit. Check out the original Chic classic [YouTube link].
