Alfa Anderson, the singer behind memorable disco records including the No. 1 hits “Le Freak” and “Good Times,” has died. She was 78.
The death was confirmed by Ms. Anderson’s publicist, Tonya Hawley, who did not cite a cause or say when or where Ms. Anderson died.
Ms. Anderson’s voice became a constant presence in the disco era from her work with the band Chic and with other prominent artists, including Sister Sledge, Diana Ross and Mick Jagger.
Her musical career blossomed after she moved from Augusta, Ga., to New York, where she studied education and became a teacher, marking up homework and leading classes while performing with bands around the city.
She was eventually introduced to Luther Vandross, who invited her to a Chic vocal session shortly after the band was formed by the guitarist Nile Rodgers and the bassist Bernard Edwards. Ms. Anderson sang background vocals on Chic’s debut album before becoming a lead vocalist with Luci Martin. The two were the band’s lead singers from 1978 to 1983.
Her voice can be heard on some of the band’s best-known hits, including “Good Times.” She sang solo on “At Last I Am Free” and “I Want Your Love.”

He added: “I’ve seen some of the statements. I haven’t seen them all. Some of them are pretty gross, to put it mildly. Mark Robinson says that those statements are false, that he didn’t actually speak them. So I think it’s up to Mark Robinson to make his case to the people of North Carolina that those weren’t his statements.”
