Reverted some edits about Nile Rogers "headlining" at Bestival 2014. Last line of Telegraph (London) article: "Other popular acts taking to the stage across the weekend include OutKast, Foals and Chic featuring Nile Rodgers." That's not "headlining".

While very extensive this wiki post doesn't even dive into all the guitarists that were influenced by Niles. While his talent and accomplishments are clearly recognized within the music industry, he appears as ghost in the public eye. People know of all the bands that he has played in, produced, and influence, but they don't know that Niles was the one doing all of it. Not that public recognition is the be all and end all, but I know so many music aficionados that claim to be knowledgeable experts, but have never heard of him, Weird and Amazing. 75.172.14.167 (talk) 20:53, 15 June 2025 (UTC) Reply
For the record, Nile Rogers also rearranged the world famous jingle, "I love New York" for the New York tourism campaign in ‘87 or ‘88. Just saying... Because I was working on the account at WRG advertising agency. ~2025-37112-32 (talk) 20:10, 28 November 2025 (UTC) Reply
