Today's music can't touch even 10% of what this music was. We've lost a huge part of American culture once the Internet came around. Makes me so sad. Remember black people who weren't rappers? Such a good time to be alive.

It wasn't the "pinnacle", but sure as f*ck it was fun to see people like Wendy Garcia doing tech advances in music or just playing like Commodores and such.

Dimefan91 It can look kind of silly now, but truth be told, I appreciate how bands from that era ('74-'80) wrote and played great songs, bothered with costumes, dance steps, and showed a lot of love and creative spirit. When you compare that to the average 'artist' these days, with sagging pants, t-shirts and baseball caps, cussing and mumbling and barking, those 70's performers begin to look real admirable!

This song was produced in Muscle Shoals Alabama by the great team of Terry Woodford and Clayton Ivey! After hearing this, Motown made Ivey and Woodford the first white Motown members. Unfortunately, in the Mid 80s, Latoya Jackson and her Entourage came to Wishbone to record. One night, something in the studio caught fire and the studio was almost completely destroyed. It was eventually re -built and local artists put it to great use.

James Brown, Parliament and Funkadelic, Sly and The Family Stone, Commodores, The Jackson 5, and the list goes on. Nothin’ but the best! I have also been a drummer my entire life and there is nothin’ more fun then to be in the pocket playin’ a tasty Funk groove.

I love how Richie still has the airline bag tag on his keyboards, from MGM (Montgomery, AL). I guess he wanted to let everyone know where they were from.

Desde el año 1978 ..lo escuchaba...en aquel entonces era un niño de 12 años y este Temazo era la Cortina Musical del Programa de Televisión , "El Festival de La Una", de Televisión Nacional de Chile......lo busque hasta estos años... Siempre quise saber como se llama y a quien pertenece esta joyita... A mis 54 años.... Puedo descansar en Paz....jajaja.... Saludos desde Santiago de Chile.....

This was the first song I ever heard from The Commodores before I was old enough to even get my learner's permit. I was a fan of late sixties and early seventies rock but this really grabbed my ear. Had the Sly Stone funk down. Loved the percussion (loved drummers who played double bass drums) and the keys. Proud they were from my home state too. I wish that Lionel would have done his solo projects but kept up his presence in the band. I was thrilled when they hit it huge again with Night Shift, but who knows where they'd be if Lionel would have continued on with them?

This is one of those songs that was so iconic in the 70's. But from my childhood, I rememeber it more for hearing it during commercials, or commercial breaks, or tv shows, or something. It wasn't until I was grown that I found out that it was actually the commodores who made it LOL How crazy is that. It's not the sound that I associated with the Commodores.
