An immense pain. This Sunday, December 22, we learned of the death of Alfa Anderson, singer known for having been part of the disco group Chic. The artist died at the age of 78 and it was Nile Rodgers, the founder of the famous group who announced the heartbreaking news. “RIP Alfa Anderson“he soberly wrote before adding: “Thank you for everything”. If for the moment, the causes of his death have not been revealed, his death caused a shock wave in the disco world as the group Chic brought to Music in the 1970s. To understand the importance of music in the life of Alfa Anderson, we must trace his story which begins in the late 1940s.
Death of Alfa Anderson: the singer was promised a great career
Born on September 7, 1947, Alfa Anderson is destined for a great career in music thanks to her golden voice. In 1977, she was encouraged by singer Luther Vandross to audition to join the group Chic. Initially a backing vocalist, she ended up being the lead singer of the group following the thunderous departure of Norma Jean. In the late 1970s and 1980s, Alfa Anderson and Chic enjoyed great success singing Le Freak, Good Times or even My Forbidden Lover. World hit, Le Freak also becomes the “best-selling single in Atlantic Records history“, for around thirty years.
Death of Alfa Anderson: his first solo album was released in 2017
Unfortunately in 1983, the group Chic broke up but Alfa Anderson continued his vocation, music. She collaborates with many artists such as Mick Jagger, Vandross and Gregry Hines. We had to wait until 2017 for the singer to release her first solo album Music from my Heart. If success is relative, it confirms that Alfa Anderson is made for this. After the separation of Chic, the musician moved towards other projects for a time, for example becoming the director of a high school. The establishment also paid tribute to him when his death was known.
