Something for the Weekend.. Le Freak

This weeks Something for the Weekend is 'Le Freak' by Niles Rogers.

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.

''This has to be one of the best autobiographies I've read this year. From his upbringing,with his drug fuelled relatives,and how he managed to strive & work hard to get himself out of it - to becoming one of the most sort after producers/musicians of our time. Once you read a few pages,you will not be able to put it down''.
