Yay! So glad they did it live! That was the slow dance song for many high school dances! Beautiful! 😊💜

The Commodores, Good 70s soul music. Can't be beat by any of today's music.

I felt my soul being soothed as I was listening to that.

Love the bass on this song, at the right volume. Not overpowering the rest of the music. one of the best bass players.

So loved Lionel Ritchie back then!!

[@DannyHaralson-ol1io]

Friday and Saturday nights in 1976 was my skate nights. When they called for a couple skate, and this was the song. Had to grab me a lady and skate. I always skated backwards, thinking abought it now, beautiful memory. Jodi, Norma, Susan, Rebecca. And yes, Marry and Angie. Thank you @TheMidnightSpecial for the memory. Please can you upload this on the Members Page. If so, I would be in Midnight Special Heaven

A young Lionel Richie.

[@unique74muzik]

In their prime. "So much val-ya..no direction..no puy-pus"

[@thebigchief1503]

That’s my favorite part 😂

[@rolloutcarlo]

Bruh I say it all the time..dope brothers..hits..top ten R&B bands ever

[@DannyHaralson-ol1io]

Look no lip-sync, people said they always lip-sync back then. I don't see it.

[@1goldbaby]

They weren't lip synching when they recorded the song!! It's their song and Lionel's lead singing. So there isn't anything lip synching to one's OWN song..especially if you want it sound like the original recording. Cause they can't sing the same way twice. There are some that sing their songs live and they actually sound better than the recording. They did good on this , singing it live.

[@1goldbaby]

Nobody but a group of Black men!! Nobody!!!

[@tonteaux1]

[@cajun1957]

[@LithaJones-td2jx]

Why

[@chancebrown106]

You better complete that sentence with a “not.”

[@ronrice1931]

Nice job, fellas, but you know, it could have used a little more treble. ...
