Celebrating Black History: The women who shaped dance music
From r'n'b to disco, funk and house
Norma Jean Wright
With Chic at the epitome of the disco movement, both musically and stylistically, Norma Jean Wright, who was at the front of the band during the height of their fame, was undoubtedly a woman to know. She lent her voice to the entire B-side of their first album. She eventually separated from the band and released a self-titled album, with several popular singles produced by Nile Rodgers, including 'Saturday', and a few more in the early '80s.
