Amazing story. Nile Rodgers is a legend.
"In February 2012, Rodgers announced that he was collaborating with electronic band Daft Punk for their latest album, "teasing out their R&B influences". The record, Random Access Memories was released in 2013. Rodgers co-wrote and played guitar on three tracks: "Give Life Back to Music", "Lose Yourself to Dance", and "Get Lucky"."
I was not aware – but I guess I should have known ? – who played the guitar on "Get Lucky": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3s5D2HnQiE
It was followed by some more teases with some semis in Japan. https://youtu.be/92by5ZdVzEM
Eventually the record dropped though, and to me nothing that came afterward beat this particular track and the brevity of the originally teased music video.
Edit: here’s the teaser. Apparently it was shown at Coachella https://youtu.be/1Ep2NDJXS5g
The man still has it. And what really blew me away is that he was up there on stage with the Hitmaker, the 1960 Stratocaster that has sold 100 million albums.
