Born in the Bronx, New York, Anderson’s early exposure to music set the stage for a career rooted in the vibrant sounds of soul, jazz, and R&B. Her big break came when she was invited by Luther Vandross to a vocal session for the new group Chic. She performed backing vocals on the hits “Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsa Yowsa Yowsa)” and “Everybody Dance,” before being promoted to co-lead vocalist in 1978. Anderson’s standout performance on songs like “Le Freak” and “Good Times” cemented her as a key member of the ensemble. 8)

A rumor has it that it's getting late
Time marches on, just can't wait
The clock keeps turning, why hesitate?
You silly fool; you can't change your fate
Let's cut the rug, a little jive and jitterbug
We want the best, we won't settle for less
Don't be a drag; participate
Clams on the half shell, and roller skates, roller skates.
Good Times…
