THE COMMODORES SAIL ON REACTION

[@debbieflores7256]

I appreciate that you now understand why those of us in our 40's, 50's and 60's say we had THE BEST music ever. We really did, right?

[@yvetteadshead4212]

Quite agree

[@vondefeo8586]

We totally did, what a great time to be young, I'm nearly 55 and the 70s and 80s are my decades

[@brandogrl]

We did.

[@terryesrom4607]

Todays music has no feeling, no depth, everything is automated and commercialized. I could be a crooner today with autotune Lol, I can just see it now.

[@lynnmerchant7856]

Yes we did.

[@23skidoo46]

back when bands and artists actually needed talent to make music to just exist in the industry. they actually played their own instruments and wrote their own music and did it all at a top level. without any artificial help.

[@gsprings43]

funny that around the time this song dropped the first digital computer music workstations were coming out,very expensive they were though,not everyone could afford them,90's is when software produced music really exploded,because it became a lot cheaper,and seem like the bands started dissapearing too

[@YN97WA]

This song is like sleeping on silk sheets. Motown had some great music, and our generation had the best music! Great song, great reaction. Class of '77✌

[@dherman0001]

Lionel Richie! Still performs! He doesn't age.

[@danaeddins5590]

I saw him just a few years ago, and he was still amazing.

[@dayram6217]

[@bigchef290]

The Best Divorce song I've ever heard.

[@doplinger1]

Smoooooooth. One of those albums that EVERYONE had back in the day.

[@JM-rl1hf]

Smooth is right. Every time I hear this song I’m amazed.

[@pamking357]

In my 70's I think my generation lived through the best musicians and singers in the 50's 60's and 70's. This one being in my top 10.

[@mattplus09]

I started first grade in 1969 and graduated HS in 1981...the music of my youth was amazing....70's baby! Peace!

Night Shift by The Commodores

[@thedocofrock1890]

nothing can compare to the commodores. lionel and co. at their feel good finest. bought this vinyl when it first came out and still have it in flawless condition.one of the prizes of my collection along with earth wind and fire

[@dianesaienni5466]

I must say I was fortunate to live In the Era of awesome musical geniuses! Yes, I'll take songs from the late 60s, 70, 80s any day!

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Commodores are great- now wait til you hear Lionel Ritchies solo songs- some fantastic ballads, “Hello”, “My Love”, and many more! ❤️💛💟☮️✌️

[@maryannthornes4984]

Have we lost the magic with Luciano pavarotti is worth your time. Those 2 together. Eee gads such a range for both if them.

I personally think he was best as part of the Commodores.

[@cynthiacharles3344]

Please play Night Shift It won't disappoint!!

[@RicoBurghFan]

Such a great deep song Jay. No autotune just heart.

[@carmenwise2256]

70's had the BEST groups...true Artists. Everyone does it Right!!

[@ArtofFreeSpeech]

One of the all time greatest "fuck off, I've had enough of you" songs ever!!!

[@pamking357]

The Commodores so smooth and I loved this song! heartbreaking though 😞

[@brenthowell8883]

This is what's it all about man. Pure raw talent. Everybody sings their parts and people actually played their instruments. Thanks Jaycee for your respect and reactions and check out Lady by these guys.😍😉

[@loriannrichardson7644]

Yes!!! Beautiful music. "Brick House" is danceable funk. Also check out "Zoom" and "Sweet Love." I think the music from this era is SO GOOD because they were true musicians and singers, (many sang in church/and or were exposed to jazz), I also think that being in a band requires collaboration, so the final project is richer.

[@jamesallen5591]

I played the hell out of my Commodores albums (yeah, vinyl) back in the day.

[@agitatedmongoose]

I grew up with the 70s Commodores and then 80s Lionel Ritchie in my teenage years. But it's their 70s hits that hit harder for me and remind me of my childhood summer camp dances and my elementary school days. Especially this one and Easy Like A Sunday Morning and Brickhouse. Born in 68 so this is my childhood right here.

[@robertserrato3596]

Lionel Richie has so many beautiful songs it's hard to choose a favorite.

[@adavidson5247]

When music gave goosebumps & still does! ❤

[@MissClawdy1]

I’ve loved this song for nearly 40 years. I can’t believe songs from my youth still sound so good. Thank you Commodores xx

[@nielgregory108]

There is no rap or hip-hop that can hold a candle to this. Real musicians with real soul. Props to you bro for learning what real music is. Something that has been missing for decades.

[@josmith4173]

The best alternative break up song ever!

[@tarjaraag2798]

My favorite thing is how you HEAR the beautiful music and voices in spite of those old hair styles!! Lionel is so much more handsome now! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@oddgriffin]

Love it! This music takes me back to my childhood in the 70's, when you can count on hearing it on the radio.

[@stevenjenks9336]

Oh my goodness, I love this song, takes me back to a time and a place a long time ago 😭💔

[@shellifrancis1336]

I love this song one of my favorites of the Commodores that have alot of good song's

Love this song. A classic for sure. Can’t wait for Brick House!!

I knew you would dig this . Check out "Brick House".

[@rhondamcbath6279]

Excellent song, loved it at the tender age of 14.. Still love all of The Commadore songs!!! 😊❤️❤️

Yessssss

[@moorr4473]

Yes yes yes

[@patsloyan9755]

YES! BRICK HOUSE!!!!!

A Must !!

This song will always be a straight-up masterpiece: the PERFECT, peculiar hybrid of country and soul. Genius!

[@johnbelmore1178]

Great music 🎶 it almost brings me to a tear of happiness 😊

[@lobo81865]

My favorite one by the Commoderes, and it's the perfect moving on song.

[@kiridaymond85]

Absolutely love this song....I have it on my own play list

[@cw5451]

Yes, the Commodores were amazing and HUGE. My favorite Commodores song is “Sweet Love.”

[@dianesaienni5466]

one of the greatest break up songs! sung so sweetly!

[@mandygray764]

I loved The Commodores too....you are playing all great ones 😊

[@sarakirk9542]

This is my favourite song by The Commodores! It’s so beautiful to listen to. Completely flawless. Lionel Richie is good on his own but this totally blows my socks off and hairs stand up when he’s with this group the Commodores

[@ArtofFreeSpeech]

"You know it ain't so hard to say, would you please just go away!" One of the greatest break up lines from one of the greatest break up songs ever written!

[@joelliebler5690]

A simply superb and smooth song. Legendary group and vocals by Lionel!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@sean_b_drummer]

It did end too soon, the LP version is longer. While it's chill to see the Music Videos, they're almost always the shortened Radio Edits of the songs. When you search for songs, check the length; it'll give you a clue about edited songs. 😉😁 There are two Lead Singers in The Commodores. Lionel shares that duty with the drummer, Mr. Walter Orange as you will see when you listen to, Brick House. 👍🏼

[@lisagraham2944]

Music in this era so magic. Love 💝 the commodores. I grew up listening to these guys. I am getting ready eyed. I appreciate you listening to this music. You are a great utuber. Listen to once times three times a lady. It will bring tears to your eyes.

[@annettehowe2959]

I'm having so much fun watching you discover the songs that comprised the soundtrack of my childhood. I graduated high school in 1976. Now that you're familiar with this music, I bet you'll be recognizing it playing in the background at the grocery store. I've been surprised by the longevity of the songs of the 70s.

[@teresamorgan8705]

This and their song "Oh No" are my favorites and both always give me goose bumps! I am a month away from being 50 and beyond thankful for growing up when I did, in relation to what music I was exposed to, throughout my life.

[@J3scribe]

Lionel Richie is one of my all-time favorite musicians. That was his piano playing, by the way. His music burrowed its way straight into your soul.

[@ayseclark-carter8744]

Great choice such a beautiful song. Love this one so much. One of many wow

[@kathrynjarlov5166]

Thank you for reminding me of what a great band the Commodores were.

[@kennedygovender1850]

Gosh, those were awesome days.

[@terryesrom4607]

The boys from Tuskegee are awesome, always have been, they faded away and deserved a lot more appreciation, even I only have 1 disc in my collection, need to do something about that.

[@bluize214]

Love watching your reactions - especially when it's a song I love "Love the Commodors"- and I'm like just wait for it...then the song builds to the chorus and I just know you're going to love it even more. Love the big smiles. Keep on enjoying this great music!!!

[@kavalere]

I remember hearing this song plenty of times in the back seat driving with mom and pops back in the day. Great great great song......yeahhhh.

[@Lee_Rooy_Jenkinz]

One of my favorite songs! Thank you!

[@brandogrl]

Another favorite.. awww man.. Love this song SOooo much

[@tracidevine4591]

The 70's was just pure clean, soulful, relaxing music. Nothing about violence, ho's, mother f'ers. Just pure enjoyment and that's what everyone loves about it. I was 10,11 and up listening to this music. Now I have to monitor what my grandkids listen to and it's a shame.. Bring this music back!!!!

[@bigjay123]

I LOVE THE COMMODORES. So many good songs.

[@dave9732]

Music from the 70's through the 90's was killer. So organic. So much talent. SO much better than anything in recent years.

[@tabithaedie]

Almost nothing better than growing up in the 70s with our music!

[@Axess-sv8nq]

This is what I grew up with! While I was growing up, songs like this were coming out all the time! The Commodores were awesome! Lionel Richie, man!

[@ericluttinger6035]

I am 52 years old, this was the first song that I realized how good a song could be. I still love it and it still gives me that same feeling. And I still try to sing along to it, poorly.

[@lisallewellyn2727]

Ahhhh..the great Commodores..another fantastic band I listened to in my teens..Sail on being one of my favs.. and yes..Brick House..that will really get you moving ! Love how you listen intently on every sound..

[@nancywiggermans]

Love your reaction, thanks so much. I hope you younger people hear! that what makes older music so good is the use of a real guitar bass, drums, horns. And in even older music : strings. They play a huge part in getting that good feeling and vibe. Mind you: i'm old but i'm still rocking and grooving out to new shit. Love your reactions. Peace! 🤘🎵😃

[@marcinmartin7635]

Motown rules. I'm 26, but this is the music, real music that I absolutely adore. So smooth that you would like to spread love and calm to others

He’s already done Lady (by Kenny) & many of us suggested the Kenny/Lionel duet. Be patient! ✌️

[@kathryngann3479]

Someone already commented on the live video of Kenny & Lionel singing Lady. But watch the first part when Kenny Rogers gives the "backstory" to the song (& how the Commodores didn't want it)😀

[@dherman0001]

@@kathryngann3479 Sure thing racist. And FYI, the door was unlocked. Maybe read.

[@suzannesellers7383]

Song that makes me want to cry. An anthem for anyone that went through a divorce.

[@FFSDenny]

This song has so many layers to it: a country twang, funk guitar riff and bass beat, soul in the horns and strings of the chorus.

[@smfmnoneya9134]

I grew up with this music and without fail, every song that you truly appreciate, like this one, was my favorite song when it came out. Sail on was playing over the speakers during my 9th-grade gymnastics practice when my boyfriend walked in to tell me he was moving to another state. Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of that.

[@robinjordan3922]

This is my favorite Commodores song! Not taking away from the many other greats they had because there's plenty to love with the Commodores.
