Another reason why I wouldn't change growing up during the 60s and 70s , we had almost that same reaction when we first heard this song. Amazing group the commodores

[@drunettaspencer1653]

Right!!! How lucky were?

[@legoray376]

Me either! Love the 60’s and 70’s

[@sharonspencer2796]

I totally agree with you. I'm so glad I grew up in the 70s.

[@shevawn4927]

Great times, and wonderful friends!!

[@kevinbutler7055]

We were really blessed to grow up in our times.. I was born in 67

[@RonnieT44]

They just don't do songs like this anymore!! Great reaction, as always!!

[@susansims7837]

All the singers now a days just want to see how loud they can sing, it's irritating

[@kevinbutler7055]

Music just ain't the same.. miss the vibes and more loving patriotic times.. our bicentennial. Times they sure have took a turn for the worse

[@dannycasson1551]

The first half is so good. Then they open it up with the “sail on” chorus and it just blows you away. Great song.

[@greeneyedsoutherngirl6468]

Danny that part gives me chills EVERY SINGLE TIME! I remember my parents listening to this on their record player :)

[@dannycasson1551]

@@greeneyedsoutherngirl6468 thank goodness for music loving parents!

[@KP-zi6jx]

Memories of my teens....

[@fagingreen8002]

"I know it's a shame, but I'm giving you back your name." Truly one of the best lines in modern music (and just an incredibly great song).

[@SlimDaddy9]

IMHO The song is about divorce and freeing himself up from the guilt of a failed marriage to go on with his life. He says that "...I know it's a shame, but I'm giving you back your name..." and " ...I've run away the blues, I'm tired of being used, I want everyone to know Im looking for a good time..."

[@robgas7507]

The line: It ain’t so hard to say, could you please just go away. Still hits so hard🔥🔥

[@leecook8818]

The Commodores during this period were sublime.

[@robertjohnson1602]

A sad but beautiful soul masterpiece I remember so well from the second half of 1979. These songs were, and remain special.

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Commodores such legends

[@keithyoung4383]

The commodors were an AMAZING band during their time. Shawn and Mel you two are the blue print for a beautiful amazing black couple and amazing couple period.

[@pd4104lang]

"Zoom" is my favorite song by the Commodores! Written by Lionel and bass player Ronald LaPread in rememberance of Ron's wife who had passed away after a long battle with cancer. This one will blow you away!

[@drunettaspencer1653]

Yes!!!!!

[@primeminister66]

INDEED one of the coldest songs ever!!!

[@antoniomcmahon3499]

I realized material thangs have no vaaaluuaa!!! Thats my line!!

[@jayrule13]

I still play " Zoom" to this day. My escape from reality song. It has always meant a lot to me.

[@primeminister66]

@@antoniomcmahon3499 That’s their song “Just to be close to you”……

[@kellifranklin9872]

Love love love the Commodores! I have a special affection for them as they are from my home state. This is my favorite song by them and that is saying something. Also congratulations to Lionel Ritchie for being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year! So deserved!

[@laurafowler1142]

If you don't cry listening to this song, you're not human

[@itmightbme]

This is the ultimate "shove off" song! Adore it and the Commodores ❤

[@Tiberius291]

I used to play the Commodores hit 'Just To Be Close To You' on the jukebox at a nightclub in my neighborhood back in 1976 when i was 17 years old.

[@josephinesteele1338]

I was 13 years old!!! Love love love Them!!!

[@citypaintersllc2874]

Brother your wife has a lovely heart ...you are blessed...I pray y'all stay together forever in pure love ❤

[@richardmodglin3900]

Yeah, this was popular back when. Brings back memories of a simpler time when music quality and vocals were important. Nice trip down memory lane. Great reaction!

[@Frau44]

“STILL” (same album) so good! First time my dad said “listen to the words”. I was 11. This song, #2!!

[@lorimcallister2079]

One of my favs, love the Commodores

[@michaeltimothy70]

These guys back in the early eighties were beasts. Put their tunes on during alone time with your girl and all was good!!!

[@cindyphifer970]

Love the Commodores and Lionel

[@soonernow2324]

Absolutely one of my all time favs form Commodores. They had some excellent songs. Brings back so many memories !! Thank you guys

[@dagmar.6954]

The Commodores most successful period was in the late 1970s and early 1980s when Lionel Richie was the co-lead singer. The band's biggest hit singles are "Easy", "Three Times A Lady", "Sweet Love", "Just To Be Close To You", "Still", "Oh No", "Lady (You Bring Me Up)", "Nightshift", "Brick House", "Fancy Dancer", "Lady (You Bring Me Up)", "Too Hot ta Trot" etc. Lionel Ritchie went on to have a big solo career.

[@barbarachieppo9603]

👍❤'Hello' is good, too.

[@mikekuhn214]

Painted Picture 1982 is very special. It’s about telling a woman that she’s a Painted Picture. Dad used 2 play it a lot. RIP dad!

[@kimcutts6153]

Beside being a beautiful song. It's also a really great break up song too. 🎵 ❤🔥🎙

[@gingers.5933]

I like all of their songs, "Sail on", "Sweet Love" and "Brick House" are my top three songs by the Commodores.

[@susanelkins3068]

"would you please just go away" ♫---LOL - This song is the most beautiful screw you song I have heard!

[@jollyj3285]

This and Easy are my favorite Commodores song!

[@brendasheehan2844]

Love their music u should listen to Three times a lady its pure gold ❤❤❤

[@gregj1295]

If you haven't heard a song or a group in a long time you forget just how good the music they made was. Thanks for the reminder!

[@johnrawker4487]

Hey guys it's John Rocker from San Diego California 55 year old Surfer this song and these kinds of songs you listen to are the songs I listen to with my five siblings in the back of the car on the way to the beach I love you all peace out

[@catboyzee]

The crazy thing about this track is, its so frickin' smooth you overlook the fact the lyrics tell the story of a dude who's back on the market after saying 'FU'(Sail On) to a chick who really wasn't digging him even though he tried to love her. Much respect to the original lineup of the Commodores.

[@matthewpaul1111]

The Commodores were guests on a lot of musical/variety shows when this album was released. I went out and bought this excellent album after hearing "Sail On" a couple of times.

[@rick5440]

The Commodores contribution to the country music sound....

[@frederickgallegos2047]

"Easy" and "Still". Must do's!!!

[@kevinbutler7055]

Love your reactions.. the 70s and 80s were the best music.. today's music is not the same..

[@DaisyAnnabelle65]

I love Lionel Ritchie! I saw him in concert in Seattle along with Mariah Carey! My dream came true!❤️

[@Roh_Echt]

Best selling Motown act through the 70s, right there.

[@cyndianderson7056]

I love the Commodores. Love them. My mom was in LOVE with Lionel Richie. Lol. That man was smooth.

[@otisroseboro5613]

One of my late dad's favorite songs,I thinks of him now when I hear this song

[@scarlettg6136]

One of the most beautiful sounds on Earth...Lionell and the Commodores. Thanks, you made my day ❤❤❤❤

[@blackprix]

Love the very Best R&B groups of the 70s. I was very very lucky to see them multiple times because I work for the Arena that they appeared in. They are concerts are off the charts, for 18,000 seat arena we used to sell those tickets out in one day. Not only were they good they had their records they produced but their concerts in person or off the charts

[@DaisyAnnabelle65]

I’ve loved The Commodores all my life!❤️

[@helenmalina799]

Beautiful song 🎵 Commodores owned the 70's and 80's..So so talented ❤

[@philsigman9088]

There is actually a longer version of "Sail On". I believe it has at least one more verse. You guys are great, love your energy and positive vibes!

[@MsFriesian1]

It is sad to say that this is the first time hearing this one, somehow this one slipped through the cracks. TY for covering!

[@pamelawertz498]

Another great Commodores jam is Sweet Love from '74. Their first big hit and I think one of their best!

[@tonyandterriegiles8807]

Always fabulous, growing up if you didn't listen to them , then didn't listen to music. I know you would absolutely love "Zoom" and "Sweet Love", I can just see you both enjoying them. You always have such a lovely way of reactions and I really enjoy your channel. Thanks .

[@zoocheeks]

The Commodores are top notch.

[@georgemyers6518]

Great video and great reaction. I was a teenager when this song was released. The 70’s were a great time to be a teenager.

[@shadsullivan7817]

This takes me back to my childhood, my parents would play their records while we worked around the house every Saturday. I grew up in the 80s, but my parents grew up in the 50's and 60's so they had a huge collection of great music! You made my soul smile! Thanks!!!

[@mikethompson7613]

What a great singer I miss the 80,s and great artists like him.

[@olivia786]

Yes!!! more Commodores, please react to their songs -Old Fashioned Love and Jesus is Love. 😊

[@562goodguy]

You've got to react to "Betcha By Golly Wow" by The Stylistics, it's such a sweet classic love song.

[@Lolo-zs2eo]

I got to see them in concert once. This a deep rabbit hole worth going down. Dagmar S. has listed some excellent choices as a next reaction.

[@lesnolan9826]

Yeah this was the ultimate take a hike baby song.! I grew up in the 70s listening to these gentlemen. I also love how the song Brick House made a huge impact on its culture in its time. We referred to all you hot ladies out there as a brick house!

[@GMA_love_you]

I had the privilege to see them in concert. One of the best shows iv seen

[@TwinPinesFarms]

We had the best music growing up. Was born in 1964. I was there for all of it.

[@mauriciodelarosa2449]

I never get tired of hearing you say anything Mel 🥰 most definitely. Love this song by The Commodores. 🙏🏽✌🏽🌎🌍🌏♥️

Beautiful Beautiful song many of his great songs ❤

[@jereandco]

Never heard a break-up song sound so beautiful before Lionel ❤🙌

[@caarwatkins]

"Still" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.......definitely give it a listen one of these days. You'll love it.........cheers......

[@maggienichols1482]

I love the Commodores and this song is one of my favorites! I was a small town girt!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😎 looking for a good time!! I sailed on!!! 😊

[@robertcherman]

This is one of the oldest songs I remember, it is from my childhood somewhere, I don't remember where, and I have listened to it for as long as I can remember, and those two voices together on the specific song is one of the most magical feeling to the ears. It is kind of unreal.

[@The-wild-Adventure-of-roblox]

These cats are perfect ❤ Gooood vibe!!💯💯💥💥👌

[@pwhit59]

Yep and I’m a white dude listening to this music through the 70’-80’s! The harmony and Richie voice still flows me back to the good times😊

[@ngalula]

My top 10. So glad you reacted to this one.

[@delisamarchetti5926]

In 1978 I was able to see the Commodores live at the Forum in LA. We had seats way up high in the auditorium, but it was truly one of the best concerts I have ever seen. They were so talented. Song after song, the audience didn't want it to end. They kept coming back for encores, people were stomping their feet, clapping their hands, felt like the whole building shook. There was this beautiful feeling and everyone was chill and having a great time. When they sang this song you could have heard a pin drop it was mesmerizing. I will never forget it and so glad I got to go. I am so happy you are doing more Commodores! Yay! :)

[@LadyGator1983]

More great music from my childhood. Love the Commodores & Lionel Richie!!!

[@kimcutts6153]

"Still" by the Commodors is a gorgeous love song, written by Lionel Ritchie. Please would you react to that. Shawn, if you listen to the lyrics, I think it would be what you would sing to Mel. 🎵❤

[@maryjodamato5408]

Just simple and beautiful..Happy Mothers Day to everyone in the world..💓💓🙏

[@RavenSylum]

I get teared up every time I hear this song because it's sooo dam good!

[@Sober2003]

Superb! Lionel Richie was killer writer and voice! Great great memories!❤️👌✌️

[@mikeferris408]

1 of the greatest songs ever recorded! 👍their greatest hits albums the best!

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

I love the Commodores and I’m so proud of my fellow Alabamians! This song is the perfect song for ending a long relationship that ain’t going anywhere! I loved the harmonies and the mellowness of it all! Lionel and the boys were churning out the hits back in the late seventies/early eighties! Check out their hits, Easy, Still, and Zoom!❤️❤️

[@carlbaker7242]

Another SWEET chill song by the COMMODORES.

[@sedition4267]

The Commodores ruled the 70s. The (AM) radio station I listened to back then (before FM came on the scene) played a variety of rock, funk, and soul music. That's where I developed my love for funk/rock fusion. "Too Hot to Trot" is one of their more "rockin" songs, and "Easy" is arguably the most beautiful song ever written. ps. cool trivia...his Aunt was my biology teacher in high school.

[@helgar791]

On of the truly great break up/divorce songs of this era. "I know it's a shame, but I'm givin' you back your name" is a classic line. As to what the end of the song means, the best revenge is living well.

[@MobileExperienceChris]

Absolutely the best reaction video for this song.

[@smbmiller655]

This is a jam! Please react to their wonderful song This Is Your Life... the album version from Caught in the Act. Thank you all for reacting to this great old school music!

I love seeing the joy in your faces ❤❤❤❤

LOVE the Commodores, and Lionel Richie solo!!

[@gregusmc2868]

I was 16, working the “shoestring” French fry stand at the Ohio State Fair and these guys came. Our fry-stand was directly beside the grandstand and they blew the roof off! This became my favorite make-out song that entire year. You know-parking the car by the river at Como park with my girl, working on some “night moves!” Wait. That’s a different song. Oh well. It was good to be a teenager in 79! ❤🫡✌🏼

[@miltonslocum8957]

Shawn and Mel, so glad you reacted to the Commodores. Really enjoyed your reaction and comments. Guys, I went to college with them and it was nothing to see them on the yard or in the cafeteria. They were the house band at the Elks club on Friday nights. My wife is from Tuskegee and grew up with Lionel and Ronald LaPread the base guitarist. Lived in Tuskegee after college and got to know them. My wife and I would play tennis with Thomas McClary and his wife. Such a great time back then. Many have already recommended other songs by them and it's a rabbit hole you'll love. Love you guys. Have a great weekend!

[@frankieblea5614]
