Our January release takes us back to 1975 for Tony Orlando & Dawn's #1 hit, "He Don't Love You." The song rocketed to #1 faster than any previous release by the group. Dancers know this song and it is a great sing-along. Dolly Parton also release a version of this song, changing the lyric and title to "She Don't Love You" which is exactly what we've done for the female key. The male key was recorded by Chic Staff Caller, David Mee, who delivered one of his best vocals. The female key was recorded by Chic Recordings producer, Shauna Kaaria.

After the success of our first two Beatles classics, we are back with another! "Here Comes the Sun" was written by George Harrison and introduced on the "Abbey Road" album. The song received critical acclaim, along with "Something," Harrison's other contribution to the album. With these two songs, Harrison finally received the recognition as a songwrite that had previously been reserved for Lennon/McCartney. The male key was recorded by Chic Staff Caller, Joe Saltel. The female key was recorded by Chic Recordings producer, Shauna Kaaria.

“Home Sweet Home” is a brand new song from the hot new Canadian duo, The Lovelocks. This song was brought to our attention via a Facebook post in the Square Dance Music group. The tune is so catchy, it was love at first listen. We hope you'll feel the same way. Mr. Wade Driver of Rhythm Records not only recorded the male vocal, he provided a huge assist with the arrangement. KO Jeanes (courtesy of Rhythm Records) and Michael Haworth provided the background vocals. The female vocal and backgrounds were recorded by Shauna. As with all Chic's solo releases, "Home Sweet Home" has been recorded in two separate keys for the male and female vocal ranges.

Chic celebrated our second birthday with “I Enjoy Being a Girl.” This show tune from Rodgers & Hammerstein's musical, "Flower Drum Song," has been on the Chic radar since the beginning. The timing finally felt right to take the idea into the studio and make it happen. The male key (with a little lyrical adaptation) was recorded by Chic Staff Callers Vic Kaaria and David Mee, along with guest artist Charlie Robertson (courtesy of Royal Records). For this great girl song, Deborah Carroll-Jones (Chic Staff Caller), and Patty Greene (Chic Staff Caller), joined producer Shauna Kaaria for the female vocal.

“I Feel Like Dancing” is a brand new hit, dropped by Jason Mraz on February 15th this year, making it just over two months on the market. I discovered it as I was channel surfing on SiriumXM while driving home from my Thursday class. If you haven’t seen his video, check it out. It’s just good fun!

"I'd Really Love to See You Tonight" was first released by England Dan and John Ford Coley in 1976. It was later covered by Barry Manilow, who also created an up-tempo remix version. The inspiration for our track is Barry's remix. This thing dances for days!

“It Feels Good" is a foot-stomping, hand-clapping good time from new country artist, Drake White. The beat is contagious and will make you and your dancers feel like moving from the very first stomp! With Chic, you CAN have it both ways! Once again, we have recorded the song in two separate keys for both the male and female vocal ranges. All the live instruments (and there are many) were recorded twice, as were the background vocals.

Straight out of Wikipedia – “’It's a Miracle’ is a 1975 single by Barry Manilow and was the second release from his album, Barry Manilow II. "It's a Miracle" went to number twelve on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and was Manilow's second number one on the U.S. Easy Listening chart, spending one week at number one in April 1975. The single also peaked at number fifteen on the disco/dance chart, and was the first of four entries on the chart. Cash Box said that it's "an up-tempo, rocking tune with a great dance rhythm.” "It's a Miracle" is traditionally the first song played at Barry Manilow concerts.”
