On April 7th, 2017 a deep and very diverse class will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The group includes Pearl Jam, Journey, Yes, Joan Baez, ELO and Nile Rodgers. Of these the least known, but possibly most talented, is Nile Rodgers. Rodgers either wrote, played on, produced or helped shape in some way all these amazing songs. Quite simply Nile Rodgers is a genius.
I don't know that I'll have time to finish the blog tonight, but here are twelve great songs that Niles Rodgers had a hand in creating.
