No. 17 Bernard Edwards & Nile Rodgers
The duo that legitimized and transcended disco, Edwards and Rodgers penned some of the most iconic hits of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Their brand of lush, dancefloor-friendly grooves was part disco, part pop and all funk; and helped define an era.
Notable songs: “Good Times,” “Le Freak” (Chic), “We Are Family” (Sister Sledge), “Upside Down,” “I’m Coming Out” (Diana Ross)
