Chic started a seven week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Le Freak.'
Nile Rodgers later stated that the song was devised during New Years Eve of 1977, as a result of him and bassist Bernard Edwards being refused entrance to Studio 54, in New York City, where they had been invited by Grace Jones, due to Jones's failure to notify the nightclub's staff.
He said the lyrics of the refrain were originally "F*** off!" rather than "Freak out!"
