I was laying down listening to this song with my eyes closed about 6 months after my dad passed away and when the song said, "you've found another home, I know you're not alone" my entire body got overcome with chills and I started weeping heavily, but it was somewhat of a comforting feeling. I'll always associate this song with that experience. Amazing song.

[@PPdabest]

I feel you. Just let it all out...good for the soul.

[@kellyhoward6941]

I had a similar experience with Phil Collins' "Dance into the Light," about my mother's passing. She loved Phil as much as I did, & I'm so glad she lived long enough to hear that album. I try to think of her dancing in the light.

This kind of music doesn't exist in the music industry anymore. Good music is %50 listening and %50 feeling. When was the last time modern music actually made you feel.

[@youtubeistrash2]

Well to be fair, “wet a$$ pu$$y” by cardi b really gets you in the feels! Gonna play it at my funeral.

[@clos6613]

U absolutely nailed it. Today's music lacks soul

[@louisef1861]

This song was such a great tribute to two legends. It also proved that the Commodores where so much more than just Lionel Richie's backing band.

[@boblozaintherealworld3577]

Absolutely yes.

[@cici7333]

This tribute is better than I remember. I was heartbroken when Marvin died, as everyone else.

[@susanleidy3673]

I remember that day so clearly. I was on my way home jamming to the songs on the radio when cut the song short to announce that Marvin Gaye was dead. I had to pull over because I was crying. The way he died was so tragic 💔. His own father. So,so sad.

[@mztweety1374]

My mom was really hurt too. We lived in Detroit I was under 10 when it happened I think I didn’t really understand but holy cow it was tragic. Some people say Marvin Gaye’s father was seriously abusive and insane and him moving back home was like suicide by cop he was ready to go he just didn’t have the guts to pull the trigger. To me looking back Marvin Gaye was deep and complicated and broken.

[@thrillhausen8858]

💟

[@nivak11]

The first guy you asked if "He is the new lead singer"-his name is Walter Orange and he was the drummer for the band when Lionel Richie was the singer. Walter's voice can be heard on songs like Brick House and Too Hot Ta Trot! The second Brother, JD Nicholas-is the vocalist that replaced Lionel Richie.

[@papi8633]

He was the lead singer on Brick house.

[@OCRay1]

And the 80’s. 95+% of all the worlds greatest music came from the period of the late 60’s to the early 90’s, including this song which was about 1985. Since that period music quickly died as a result of marketing companies taking over and the internet crushing any kind of creativity because kids all became the same and rap of all things took hold. Now it’s all about promoting the person through social media and mainstream marketing rather then the music itself. Everything is completely ruined. At least we have the amazing music of that previous period though.

[@valerienorton8715]

Yes you finally played it. THE best Commadores song winning a Grammy Award in 1985 for Best Vocal R&B Performance by a Duo/Group. The song features a lead vocal from drummer Walter Orange, who had sung lead years earlier on "Brick House". Lionel Richie's replacement, J.D. Nicholas, sings the second verse. THANKYOU

[@JL-ov6dg]

He's singing about the great Jackie Wilson

[@Surannhealz]

This is one of best sounding songs. Even if you don’t know who they are singing about, you can still feel the emotion they are conveying.

Sweet love yes!

Jackie Wilson is a male.You have to check out his song Higher and Higher. He died many years after being in a coma from a fall off a stage while performing. I think he either had a stroke or a heart attack.

[@lisac9930]

"Jackie" Wilson is a man; one who's music you would LOVE!

[@sheriwilliams7449]

Omg yes!! Lonely teardrops or your love has lifted me higher!

[@rhwinner]

Jackie Wilson, one of the few true geniuses of '60's soul...left in a coma by a tragic accident. He died in the 1980's. His song _Higher and Higher_ was one of his most well known hits.

[@user-DJDreamworld]

Jackie Wilson I think it is it is a man he was a motown singer also One of his songs was Lonely Teardrops

[@scabbedwings6548]

Although Jackie was friends and worked with Berry Gordy, he was never a Motown artist.

[@dunismith3045]

He was a great R&B singer, big hit was Higher and Higher.

[@tonianthony3292]

He did A Woman,A Lover , A Friend Doggin Me Around, Lonley Teardrops, Baby Workout. I am telling my age but w h o cares ❤

[@josephhart7933]

Barry Gordy wrote those songs for Jackie Wilson.

[@angielofton6372]

Jackie Wilson did a sing call Higher and Higher, Baby, Work out, both referenced in this song. He was called Mr. Dynamite because he was a great performer. His voice was operatic.

Jackie Wilson would be a great next step in reacting to his music. Start with "Higher And Higher" or "Lonely Teardrops". Jackie and Marvin died the same year. They both were legends in their genre of music.

[@ZoeBredan]

like Ledet

[@MrVato53]

Tribute, to one Marvin Gaye, Lyrics have What's Going on, for him and For Jackie Wilson, they have Higher Higher for - You Love is lifting me Higher and Higher. Walter Orange , the first singer goes back to the beginning, He sang Brick House. New singer- In 1984 former Heatwave singer James Dean "J.D." Nicholas assumed co-lead vocal duties with drummer Walter Orange.

@@Kerppu68 I'm guessing you're in your 50s or younger. This was a hit in the mid 80s. By that time I had finished graduate school and was working 80 hour weeks on wall street. Commodores w\o Lionel didn't make the Goldman Sachs' trading desk playlist. But your criticism is valid in that this was a hit so my statement misspoke. Thanks for the correction.

[@jayakers708]

All the love for Jackie Wilson is well deserved. A sad story, but a brilliant performer. In addition to the other excellent Jackie Wilson recommendations from others, you may want to consider "To Be Loved," a classic American ballad. And, yeah the Commodores are a treasure, with of without Lionel Richie (who is fantastic in his own right). Dunno which of their songs you have already covered, but consider "Just to be Close to You," if you are looking for a beautiful and unique R&B option.
