Summary
Legendary producer and co-founder of Chic, Nile Rodgers wrote ‘We Are Family’ for Sister Sledge and ‘I’m Coming Out’ for Diana Ross before producing Let’s Dance for David Bowie and Like a Virgin for Madonna.
But before he reinvented pop music, Nile Rodgers invented himself.
LE FREAK is the personal, moving story of a creative genius. It is also a stunning recreation of an age - told by the man who wrote its soundtrack.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
A rich, warm tale of a fascinating life in the golden age of New York - and pop. - Observer
Consistently exhilarating. - Independent on SundayThe lonely, sickly child of two jazz-obsessed junkies, Rodgers grew into a brilliant musician blessed with a clear artistic vision that propelled him into almost unimaginable success, with him riding a spectacular tidal wave of sex, money and drugs. An unforgettable, gripping book. - Sunday TimesName a star and you can bet they’re in this book, playing or partying with Rodgers. But far from being a succession of name-dropping anecdotes, this autobiography is a wonderfully funny, moving and wise reflection upon the important things in life: the people you love and the things you create. - Sunday TelegraphAbout The Author
