B-Movie Matinee is the second solo studio album by American R&B guitarist, producer and founder of band Chic, Nile Rodgers. As with his first album, it failed to make the Billboard 200 (its highest position was bubbling under at 206[2]). Although a single “Let’s Go Out Tonight” remains Rodgers’ only solo single to make the Billboard Hot 100 reaching number 88.[3] Both “Let’s Go Out Tonight” and “State Your Mind” had promotional videos made for their single release.
