Most people don't realize Lionel Richie is not the lead vocalist on "Brick House", Walter Orange, who alternated lead vocals with Richie is the lead singer on that song.

Lionel is a masterclass lyricist. Spent many nights in the early 80’s waiting to hear his songs come on the radio, or calling the radio DJ to request a song and dedicate it to that certain special person out there

Truly or Hello is possibly PDC worthy. All his ballads have this same general tempo. His duo Endless Love with Diana Ross is probably his best love song aside from Lady.

Imo, this song is way better than either of those two songs. It showcase's Richie's vocal range better.

The Commodores sang Brick House. Everyone needs to listen to that at least one time in their life ! And I think he is PDC worthy ! This is when he went solo I think . I maybe wrong though.❤

This is why he went solo, but he's still with The Commodores here...Yes, "Brickhouse" is a must (Lionel still plays it live at his solo shows, too!)

There was a show called Lip Sync Battle with Jimmy Fallon, and somebody (Jason Derulo, maybe?) did Brick House, as if Rick James was the artist. Which is hilarious, because it totally feels like a Rick James joint.

1) "Stuck On You" 2) "Say You, Say Me" 3) "Hello" 4) "Penny Lover" 5) "Truly". 6) "All Night Long" 7) "Endless Love" 8) "Running With The Night" 9) "Brick House" 10) "Easy" 11) "Lady"... Lionel Richie wrote the lyrics and composed the music to a multitude of #1 and top #10 songs on the record charts and wrote songs for other vocal artists. He was and stil is gifted and talented. Everyone played his songs in the 1970's and 1980's. I took my college girlfriend to a Commadors concert in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois in 1980. It was an enjoyable evening. Lionel is definitely worthy of being on your play list. You just have to listen to all his songs.

Listening now to the music I used to listen to back then in my grade-school and preteen years, it's no wonder I felt like I'd never, ever get over every breakup I experienced. These songs kept the heartbreak alive and well way too long.

In the Commodores Band, Mr. Richie played the Saxophone and the piano. He sung lead on some songs and also did background vocals when others sang lead. The band started in the late 60's when a group of Tuskegee institute students (one of which was Lionel Richie) got together and formed the band. He broke out from the band in the early 80s, after he and Diana Ross sung the song "Endless Love" for the movie. I love the Commodore songs: Just Want to be Close to You, Jesus is Love, 3 times a Lady, Easy, Sail On and Brick House... just to name a few.😊 I just saw Earth, Wind and Fire and Lionel Richie in concert in DC earlier this year. It was a real treat!🤩😊

Since 1974 they had 4 top albums in a row (that I like) - first album "Machine Gun" (instrumental song) is still my favourite with Assembly Line and Human Zoo. The Commodore were on Motown-Label and had all band members singing - especially Thomas McClary. Brick House was often played in a row with Wild Cherry's Play That Funky Music - a real floorshaker.

Lionel Ritchie is the greatest writer of love songs in the R&B/R&R era. Listen to him doing the great break up song "Sail On", "Truly", "Penny Lover", "My Love", "You Are", "Zoom", "Easy", "Three Times A Lady", "Just To Be Close To You", and of course "Hello".

@Nomad-vv1gk 8 ай бұрын

The Commodores were a self contained band. This song is by The Commodores "Still" is the story of a couple who decide to end their marriage to save their friendship. Lionel Richie got the idea for this song from the failing marriage of his childhood friend William "Smitty" Smith. After Smith's marriage broke up, the two buddies had a long conversation from 9 p.m. to sunrise in which they agreed that it's better to divorce as friends than stay married and hate each other. This song is about a marriage that has ended and he's telling her that he still loves her. People don't pay attention to lyrics, I attended a wedding once and the song was song during the ceremony. Obviously neither the bride nor the groom read the lyrics. Radio personality Tom Joyner was an original member of The Commodores. Lionel Richie was originally the saxophonist in the group that was formed at Tuskegee University in 1968. "Sail On" by the Commodores is also about a divorced couple where he tells the woman to "sail on", the song has a country & western sound.

The best PDC candidate is probably Just to Be Close to You. Another well written (but sad) song is Oh No. As a bonus, it’s featured in a sad 80’s teen movie (The Last American Virgin).

@mikelesley2803 8 ай бұрын

The Commodores started out as a funk band and later on turned toward ballads. . Some of the early and later songs you might like include Sweet Love, Just To Be Close To You, Easy, Brick House, High On Sunshine, Three Times A Lady, This Is Your Life, Old Fashioned Love and Jesus Is Love.

great reaction. you actually need to have an extremely great control over your voice to sing this song and have it sound so smoothly and believe me when i say there are very few singers who can do it this good. in my honest opinion this song is one of the greatest songs ever made. the control of your voice and then he's playing the piano at the same time. this is true talent.

If you are looking to add a PDC President,react to Engelbert Humperdinck. I don’t think you have ever reacted to him. He has been billed the Most Romantic Singing Star since the early 60s. Still doing concerts. Release Me,Love Is All, Last Waltz,Welcome to My World….so many from a PDC inductee!❤️

I think this song was their last #1 hit in the U.S. during the Lionel Richie era. It was basically a Lionel tune and not so much a Commodores tune. A lot of my friends frowned upon this song when it came out but I loved it. I guess they thought it was too depressing. One thing for sure, you don't hear true ballads like this anymore. Another thing...it was at this point where it felt like there was slight distancing between Lionel and the rest of the group but they would never be called Lionel Richie and the Commodores. This happens with many groups where one singer would end up going out on their own the rest have to hold down the fort. Today there are only 3 members left. One of them passed away.
