It was a rumour, Nile Rodgers talked about it but now it's real! The Shapeshifers new album Sound Advice contains the track Sensitivity which is a collaboration of him with Shapeshifters. Basically it is CHIC with the Shapeshifters since they used a demo track given to them by Nile of the unreleased CHIC production from 1981. This original song was done by Johnny Mathis on his album that was called I Love My Lady. You can clearly hear CHIC on this track that was on the Mathis album as Love And Be Loved. Nile playing his guitar, the strings and Bernard playing a very cool basline, it's a flashback in time! The song starts familiar with Nile (?) counting off  "1,2,3,4.." and at the end you hear the strings playing the I Want Your Love tune..  Hopefully Sony/Columbia will come to their senses and finally release the Johnny Mathis album!! buy it here
