The story
Up All Night is a compilation album by Nile Rodgers and The Chic Organization, released in 2013. It contains recordings written, played and produced by Rodgers and Bernard Edwards for various artists including Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, Sheila & B. Devotion, Deborah Harry, Norma Jean Wright, Carly Simon, Johnny Mathis and their own group Chic. In its original form, the album included every UK Top 40 hit single produced by Chic, excepting remixes. The Johnny Mathis track was widely publicised as being previously unreleased, though it had in fact appeared on Mathis' own Ultimate Collection CD in 2011. The project was conceived originally in 2008 by Wayne A. Dickson, who was consulting for Warner UK at the time. It was then green-lit and shelved several times. In April 2013 when Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky' entered the UK singles chart, Dickson resubmitted the idea to Warner UK's then head of catalogue, Dan Chalmers, who then fast tracked the release for July with Dickson compiling and sequencing an abridged version of his original 3-CD concept.
