Simon, you’ve worked on and off with Nile Rodgers for a long time now, and I know CHIC were an influence to Duran Duran. What’s one thing you learned from him that’s changed how you create music? Thanks also for your great show WHOOOSH!, Delta
"Hi Delta. When we were working in New York on "NOTORIOUS" I was doing the vocals for the song "Skin Trade." I was singing, "Would someone please explain, the reason for this strange beahviour," and Nile said "Charley, you should try and change it a little rhythmically." He then sung it to me more sped up, with the focus on how that would work rhythmically. I honestly feel like he took a middle class boy from the suburbs of London and taught him about funk. What he has taught me is extraordinary. s"
