Disco may have been the hottest sound of the late seventies, but in the summer of 1979, it was facing a powerful backlash. In the midst of this tension, one of the genre’s most innovative groups, CHIC, released “Good Times” – an exuberantly joyful song which would prove that dance music could be creative, complex, brilliantly produced, and incredibly funky. While the song may not have been able to save disco, it undeniably shaped the future of popular music for the next decade and beyond. Creative artists continually looked to CHIC’s track for inspiration, influencing the development of New Wave, and Hip Hop, and leading it to become one of the most sampled, inspiring, and important tracks in popular music history.
