It's Nile Rodgers writing partner in Chic.
33 BERNIE EDWARDS
Born 31st October 1952 in Greenville, North Carolina, USA. Died of pneumonia on 18th April 1996 in Tokyo, Japan. Along with Nile Rodgers guitar, Tony Thompson’s drums and with Edwards bass, Chic possessed one the all time great rhythm sections, hence the fact they are probably the most sampled group off all time. When the disco boom was coming to an end Edwards and Rodgers branched out to writing and producing other acts to great effect. It was whilst touring with another project The Power Station that he tragically died at the young age of 43.
