Soundtracks

Film and television

In 1982, Rodgers and Edwards produced the soundtrack for the movie Soup for One. As Chic, they wrote and performed three songs, including the film's title track. Edwards and Rodgers also wrote and produced Carly Simon's "Why", a top 10 hit in the UK that helped resurrect Simon's career. The soundtrack, which also featured Sister Sledge, Debbie Harry, and Teddy Pendergrass, was a bigger hit than the film. [1][2][3]

Rodger's became increasingly in-demand as a producer and composer for film and television following the success of the Soup for One soundtrack. In 1984, he produced Al Jarreau's theme for the television series Moonlighting; he wrote, produced and scored the soundtrack for Alphabet City and worked with Laurie Anderson on her concert film, Home of the Brave in 1986. [4] In 1988, in addition to producing the soundtrack for Earth Girls Are Easy, he composed the orchestral score for Eddie Murphy's Coming to America. He additionally served as the film's music supervisor, and wrote and produced its title track, a hit for The System. [1] He also wrote the jingle for the Soul Glo commercial, "the most iconic fake ad in cinematic history." [5][6]

In 1999, he executive produced, scored, music-supervised and appeared in Public Enemy, a documentary about the Black Panthers. In a review of the soundtrack, critic Maria Blandford wrote: "The disc realistically supports the conflicting and controversial nature of this historical period, and opens the arena for present-day discussion and evaluation...this recording is an examination of the American conscience." [7]

Over the next three decades, songs written, produced or performed by Rodgers (and/or Chic) were included in the films or on the soundtracks for

Curdled, Bowie's Cool World, Snow Dogs, White Hot: The Mysterious Murder of Thelma Todd, Gremlins, That's Dancing! and The Fly, among others. [8] [9] He scored the film Blue Chips, and reunited with Murphy to score Beverly Hills Cop III. He also produced a remake of "Axel F", from the first Beverly Hills Cop film, which he performed with Richard Hilton.[10] [11] In 2008, he cowrote Semi-Pro's "Love Me Sexy" with Will Ferrell, who starred in the movie. [12]

In the 2010s, music by Rodgers was featured in movies including Arctic Tale and Bridget Jones's Baby, as well as on the TV shows Vinyl, The Get Down, and Horrid Henry, among others. In 2019, he collaborated with Andrew Lloyd Webber on the soundtrack for the film Cats. [13] In 2023 it was announced that he and The-Dream were co-writing music for the Mark Anthony Green horror film, Opus. [14]



Rodgers was interested in Halo because he had just founded Sumthing Else Music Works, a record label specialising in the licensing and distribution of video game soundtracks. In June 2002, Sumthing Else enjoyed its first release: the Halo Original Soundtrack. As most of the music in the game was interactive, O'Donnell and Salvatori reassembled many of the pieces so they could be in a suite or enjoyed as a standalone experience. Fans loved it. With over 40,000 copies sold, its success helped to establish Sumthing Else as the flagship record label for video game soundtracks, and the label went on to release over 200 other scores from series such as Gears Of War, Uncharted, Resident Evil and Assassin's Creed.

Edwards and Rodgers also wrote and produced Carly Simon's "Why", a top 10 hit in the UK that helped resurrect Simon's career. The soundtrack, which also featured Sister Sledge, Debbie Harry, and Teddy Pendergrass, was a bigger hit than the film. [1][15][16]

Following the success of the Soup for One soundtrack, Rodgers was increasingly sought- after as a producer, performer, and composer for film and television music. In 1984, he produced Al Jarreau's theme for the television series Moonlighting and wrote, produced and scored the soundtrack for Alphabet City.

[1] Rodgers also wrote the jingle for the Soul Glo commercial, "the most iconic fake ad in cinematic history." [17][18]

Rodgers also he produced the soundtrack for Earth Girls Are Easy in 1988, and scored White Hot in 1989.

First orchestral score in 1988 for "Coming to America" - is that true

1988 Various Artists Earth Girls Are Easy (Soundtrack) Producer, Writer 1989 Nile Rodgers White Hot (Film) Composer (Film Score) \ ," creating music for video games is about risk-taking, "something sorely lacking in the music industry." In the process of writing music for Halo 2 -- with its tribal drums, Gregorian chant and atmospheric vibe -- Rodgers, who also produced the game's soundtrack, asked members of Breaking Benjamin, Hoobastank and Incubus: What would that motif inspire you to do? "The world of video game soundtracks represents the '60s, the rock-and-roll rebellious frame of mind I had when I first got into this business," says Rodgers, who has worked with Madonna, Mick Jagger and Diana Ross, and whose film scores include "Thelma and Louise" and "Beverly Hills Cop." "You're playing a video game 30 to 40 to 50 hours a week, sometimes more than that. The music you hear is an integral part of your psyche, and I think fans are going to demand that we push the envelope more and more." washington Post Vargas, J. A. (2004, Dec 09).

Soul Glo -Knowing Nile Rodgers scored the beloved Eddie Murphy comedy made sense. The film’s music had all the hallmarks of his top-notch musicianship – powerful guitar licks, funky bass playing, and layers of instrumentation. During that period, Rodgers was a highly sought-after composer who scored films like Beverly Hills Cop III (another Murphy flick) and Blue Chips.

From the first few "Halo" soundtracks, the latter two of which Rodgers produced, to pretty much every major release nowadays. In the last year alone, they've licensed and distributed soundtracks to "Resident Evil 6," "Borderlands 2," "Darksiders II," "Gears of War: Judgment," "Jet Set Radio," "Metal Gear Rising: Revengence," "Saints Row: The Third," "Tomb Raider," and more.

His film soundtrack work from that period includes such movies as Alphabet City, Gremlins, Against All Odds, That’s Dancing, White Nights, The Fly, White Hot, and Earth Girls Are Easy, in addition to collaborating with Peter Gabriel on Laurie Anderson’s concert film Home Of The Brave. In 1988 Rodgers composed his first orchestral score for the film Coming To America.

During this time, Rodgers focused on additional soundtrack projects such as Rush Hour 2, Snow Dogs and Semi-Pro. Ihttps://sonicscoop.com/recording-academy-producers-engineers-wing-to-honor-nile-rodgers/

He recruited several rock artists to augment the orchestral score of the composers Marty O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori, and even contributed a song himself, with the songwriter Nataraj and the guitarist Steve Vai. However, the largely anonymous world of gaming still seems a surprising place to find a guy who has spent his career among the biggest names in music. One reason for his interest, Mr. Rodgers said, is that many of the bands he has met and worked with were, like him, devoted to Halo, spending all their studio downtime playing the game. That shared passion, he said, reminded him of the idealism of the Woodstock era, and made it easy to approach acts like Incubus and Hoobastank about contributing to the Halo 2 soundtrack. Halo 2 was a watershed moment for video game OSTs.

Rodgers has composed music for film, television, and video game soundtracks. Among othersworked extensively on film and video game soundtracks, including Halo 2, Rush Hour 2, Snow Dogs,[better source needed] and Semi-Pro starring Will Ferrell, who co-wrote the title song "Love Me Sexy" with Rodgers. In 2019, he collaborated on the music for Cats with Andrew Lloyd Weber.


Andrew Lloyd Webber at Abbey Road Studios, where he has a fancy job title ("chief creative advisor") and has been working on music for the new film version of Cats. The extra Nile: Disco icon Nile Rodgers has the best contacts book, so he is the perfect choice to curate this year's Meltdown festival. But it won't be all Chic and Daft Punk, says David Smyth

"I'm a strong believer that music is becoming as integral to the game experience as soundtracks are to movies," says Rodgers, executive producer of S&S Interactive's Outlaw Volleyball: Spike or Die soundtrack for Microsoft's Xbox. Among the acts featured with original or licensed tracks on Outlaw Volleyball is Hollywood Records group Diffuser, MCA's Off by One, and Lava's Hot Rod Circuit. Hollywood plans to promote Diffuser, the game, and the soundtrack through MTV. Rodgers' belief in the importance of music in games is reflected in the licensing activity of a growing number of game makers.
