Le Freak | Overview
In the summer of 1978, the band Chic released their second studio album, titled "C'est Chic" which featured the band's first number-one hit song "Le Freak". A few members of the band were refused entry into the famous Studio 54 nightclub and this song was written as a reaction to that event. The song became the first to earn the number-one spot on the Billboard US Hot 100 three separate times.
