Bernard ('Nard) Rodgers
The bass player in the awesome "composed, arranged, performed and produced
by CHIC" group. He only made one solo album on his
own but produced several artists.
"Glad to Be Here"
Cover: bass guitar in front of a mirror.
Alas, it's a pretty weak effort.
Production Work
Missing Persons
The Color in My life
Bernard Edwards production jobs
B. Abbe" <babbe@u.washington.edu> says that Edwards produced this
around 1983ish?
The Power Station
Tony Thompson played drums, I think 'Nard produced. Norman Hathaway
writes
the second power station album had edwards lay down bass tracks
which were
to be replaced by taylor but, taylor resigned in order to check into
rehab
so they stuck.
ABC
Alphabet City, 1987
ABC were one of the best Brit pop bands. Super producer Trevor
Horn produced their first hit-packed album "the Lexicon of Love".
Bernard Edwards co-produced their later 1987 album "Alphabet City", with
the hit "When Smokey Sings", "The Night You Murdered Love", and other songs.
In an odd coincidence, Nile Rodgers wrote original songs for the movie
"Alphabet City" in 1984. Maybe ABC really liked the movie,
or at least the title.
