Such a great song, and maybe one of the most-played songs on Easy Listening radio in the late 70s. For more great Lionel-led songs, try "Three Times a Lady", "Still", "Oh No", or "Old Fashion Love". You also might consider doing "Nightshift", their tribute to the legend and legacy of Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson (which they recorded after Lionel left the group to go solo). OR.... if you want to get more into Lionel's solo stuff (you've only done "Hello" so far), you can do "Endless Love" (a truly magnficient duet with Diana Ross), "Truly", "You Are", "My Love", "All Night Long", or "Say You, Say Me". Thanks for reacting!

"Three Times a Lady" is THE Commodores/Lionel Richie masterpiece. White radio, black radio, disco radio, pop radio, even country radio - you name it - that song was inescapable in summer 1978. Be sure to listen to the long (studio) version of the song, it carries so much more emotional resonance.

As hard as it is for me to imagine you never having heard it before, I recommend "Endless Love" as others have. Lionel Richie and Diana Ross produced one of the greatest, if not the greatest, pop music duets of all time. Great music for a reaction and a song that I think is going to remain significant and remembered for many decades to come.

That's guitar solo is (at least partially) the sound you get when running the guitar directly into the recording console and cranking up the gain knob, so it gets crunchy and has lots of high end (as opposed to the usual method of recording the guitarists amp with a microphone). This track might actually be a blend of the direct to console signal with a mic'd amp (maybe running through a fuzz pedal too).

Amber and Jay, you just can't go wrong with the Commodores! So many hits and great memories. Another one I'd recommend is "Zoom". It holds a special meaning for The Commodores. It was written by Ronald LaPread and Lionel Richie. Ronald LaPread's wife, Cathy, had cancer and he began composing it and she gave him some ideas for the melody and Lionel put the words to it. Cathy passed away before the song was released. I think you'll really enjoy it when you know the meaning behind it.

He and Lionel shared lead on the next song you should react to, "Just to Be Close to You." Play the long version and you get to hear Lionel preach!

I've lived in Alabama my whole life and been a country musician my whole life and Easy is one of my all time favorite songs. Lionel was born and raised in Tuskegee and the Commodores were formed at Tuskegee Institute. They were basically a funk band but Lionel took them in more of a pop/country direction. Songs like Sail On, Stuck On You, Deep River Woman I always thought were country songs. I always thought Lionel should do a country album which he finally did about 15 years ago. On that album he did a very cool version of Easy with Willie Nelson. The horns, the guitar solo and of course Lionel's piano and vocal....Easy is definitely in this country boy's top 5 all-time favorite songs.

5:00 the guitar sound is from a type of guitar effect known as a "fuzz pedal". Electric guitarists can put electronic devices between the guitar and the amplifier to modify the signal in different ways, called "pedals" or "stomp boxes". There's dozens of different kinds of effects you can put in your signal chain, like chorus, echo, phaser, overdrive, Wah, compression, etc. This one is a classic "fuzz pedal" though.

I think this is my favorite song by The Commodores, followed by “Nightshift” and then Lionel Richie on “Say You, Say Me.” I wouldn’t want to relive the 80s completely, but songs like these have that nostalgic feeling that makes me wish I could go back and relive a day or two here and there.

I love this song! Lionel Ritchie is the man. The whole band are great too. Faith No More did an excellent cover of this song. I see that many people have suggested other Commodore greats in the comments so I would like to suggest a couple of Lionel's songs that I haven't seen suggested: Running With The Night and Say You, Say Me which has some very inspirational lyrics.

I really like the song "Oh No" that Lionel did back in the early eighties. I don't think it's as very well known as the others and I think it was whenever he started his solo career, I'm not sure if the commodores are backing him or not, But this is always been a favorite of mine that he did, If you can ever get around to that would be awesome 🙂

"Easy" !!! My favorite song from them. You could say easily my #1. I love the simplistic sounds of all the instruments. So artistic and doesn't rely on "gymnastics" for lack of a better word.

This was one of the well-played albums in my collection as a 12 year-old. The album this song is from called "Commodores" also had the songs "Brick House" and "Zoom", which are great as well. I adored the Commodores so much.

I recall reading in an interview that Easy was their first attempt at crossing over. The slide guitar was a dead give away. I couldn’t tell at the time because it was a massive hit on soul stations. It has become my favorite over time.

Awesome reaction!, I was lucky enough to see the Commodores live, back in the day, they where Awesome!. Heard them play this song ( fantastic performance! ). The crowd went nuts when they played "Zoom", I recommend "Zoom" for your next Commodore reaction, ( if there's any ). Thank you, Peace!
