A musical marvel as his sounds made us dance, and still does today. In addition, his talent was passed down to his son who is a great producer in his own right.

bernard you are one of the greatest of all time in disco music ,chic was the biggest of disco classic music no group had that special style ,rest in peace chic forever

bernard, you and nile was a big part of the 70's disco scene, i really enjoyed your production and chic was one of my favorite groups, and i still and always will listen to your good times, and ALL THE other songs, that was just as good, god bless you , u are now producing for the man in the upper room, so right on and god bless u. and keep on dancin

bernard , nile and chic, " I want your love " violins still to this day gives me the chills, the music set the pace for alot of the club funk back in the days.... you will be missed by all dj remixers past present and future....we love you man !! you will be missed

Bernard Edward's was in my opinion the finest bass guitarist ever recorded! To listen to that intro octave pop in Sister Sledge's - Thinking of you, is like cracking' the chocolate covering on a Magnam, But to start to sound like him it will take £1000 worth of Ernie Ball Musicman Singray.

nard imust say your bass playing is very real it is alive. spiritually divine and powerful. every day i think of you. you will always in my as you are unique.at last i am free. will always be around. you are indeed a legend and inspiration to who listens to your work. thank you very much

Bernard Edwards has no "clone" or equal in Dance Music scene. That genius can barely have followers, imitators or "inspired by" artists. I think that dancefloors, raves or whatever could be our today´s so called Dance Music Scene could no longer exist without Chic tunes and Edwards-Rodgers feeling and unique and innovative productions. Thanks God for putting us DJ´s here in this era TO KNOW SUCH A ARTIST.
We miss you even here in Brazil...

Wow, this man really knew how to make music and make you move. If you didn't get the will to move when you heard a chic song, you were sleep. What a loss.

Bernard was one hell of a bassist. He'll be missed....

THE main influence in my 30 years of bass playing, simply the greatest never to be surpassed.

How I miss you 'Nard !!!..

To me you are & will always be THE Best Bass Guitarist ever !..

I'm in love with your skills and your bass' sound. Listening to your music is just a Huge pleasure in my life !!!..

I'm Glad to be here and, At last I am free + I get Lost in Music when I hear your songs, even if You can't do it alone (thanx to Nile) !!!..

I met Nile 2 years ago, it was incredible and one of the best moment in my whole life !!!.. I wish I would have met you too, but it will never happen + what a bad present, you left us... on my birthday !..

My Fav' Musician ever, You've really got a hold on me and I will never stop playing your music !.. I hope that, wherever you are, you're a Happy Man and that they all appreciate your Savoir Faire!.. Good Times in heaven and Party everybody and shout Everybody say CHIC Cheer !!!..

R.I.P.

' Nard; You have been, and ALWAYS will be a major musical inluence in my life! Peace. -Tyrone.

Rest In Peace

Bernard's Edwards bass playing is purely magical and instantly recognisable

FREAK-OUT! He's GONE?? It goes way beyond what he did himself. How about all the artists he produced, or influenced. To this day rappers use his tracks on their recordings. When he showed up on the DISCO scene, we got swept up in his obvious talent and desire. He always wanted to do it better. His rehearsals were a pain to watch, over and over until he liked it. It sounded good to others including me, but he pushed to get everything out of his musicians. The finished product showed that he was always right. Of course he will be missed, on his birthday every year, all deejays should show their respect, by playing his music. God Bless!

Whenever I hear a Chic song it reminds me of my childhood in which I heard all kinds of music all the time. But "Good Times" always takes me back and I appreciated Bernard's talent. He was the best guitarist. R.I.P.
