"I had thought of this as one of those bits of pop-culture serendipity, or at most atmospheric influence, that occur when there’s something in the air. It delighted me to learn Nile Rodgers was directly inspired by seeing Roxy Music when he came up with the concept for Chic. Chic were devised explicitly as 'our black version of Roxy Music'. So I suppose I can say, after all, whether or not anyone saw the cover that way in 1977--the man who created Chic did."
