Sampling and motifsThe backing track of "Good Times" was notably recreated in The Sugarhill Gang's 1979 single "Rapper's Delight", a key track in the development of hip hop. Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards threatened legal action over copyright, which resulted in a settlement and them being credited as co-writers.[11] Rodgers admitted that he was originally upset with the song, but would later declare it to be "one of his favorite songs of all time" and his favorite of all the tracks that sampled Chic[12] (although the song did not actually use samples, rather an interpolation). He also stated that "as innovative and important as 'Good Times' was, 'Rapper's Delight' was just as much, if not more so."[13] Traditionally, Chic's live performances of "Good Times" incorporate a portion of "Rapper's Delight" including audience participation call-and-response. {{Unreferenced section|date=August 2018}}This is a list of songs that either use direct samples from or interpolate "Good Times". {{Expand list|date=February 2011}}
