[@lecagot2498]

That bass……those horns…..so effin dope.

[@HB-yk4ut]

The 🥁 drums

[@AhmedMohamed-pe6fo]

The glasses 👌😁

[@deeerv4905]

The extended version lets them funk nonstop

[@roxannabledsoe]

That horn section is off the chain

[@MisterV619]

Hope Amazon is paying royalties to the Commodores for this song.

[@DDylast]

I'm sure they are. Whoo!

[@StormLaker]

I was thinking the same.....whoo!!!

[@ignaciopullum9891]

WOO !!

[@rj7463]

They tried to be sneaky with it.

[@thomasgibson5591]

I kept seeing that Amazon commercial and it brought me back to this video whoo!!

[@Cooking_Patty55]

The best Era of music ever❤

[@adamdiazjr9526]

@@Cooking_Patty55 you bet! No way will it ever be recreated as evolution denies a resurgence of the raw beauty of it…

[@70sladyalways25]

My high school days! Best times ever. ❤️‍🔥🔥❤️‍🔥

[@caroltaylor3195]

Yes indeed

[@lisachauvin]

Yep! Knew every word to every song

[@Cosmic_Messenger]

"Zoom" was the EPIC house party slam jam back then too!

[@shoesoffbootson5317]

I love how the audiences just sat on shows like that. How do you not move to this??

[@strikem1241]

They don’t make songs like this no more and it’s just plain sad.

[@loriqua6134]

It's Criminal!

[@shawnbittle2696]

Amen!!!😢

[@1986SSMONTECARLO]

Amazon will make Millions more because of this Commodores CLASSIC

[@lamontbradford4630]

The Commodores should get the money. Although the White nationalists at Amazon will probably get most of the money. Berry Gordy should see most of the money but he sold out to evil White crooks.

[@markdixon3915]

This is Funk, at its FINEST…

[@Felix-ik8bd]

From the movie Thank God It's Friday in 1978 during my high school years.

[@MMMarvelous]

Walter did all the fun stuff, Lionel the ballads. Imagine how good your band is if Lionel Richie is just the sax player & backup singer most of the time.

[@asteverino8569]

Fantastic! 70's Disco Soul. Lionel Riche was a back up singer then.

[@hillarnold7575]

He and the drummer traded lead vocals. He also played sax. The drummer is singing lead, here.

[@erubey8909]

Who wrote this? Probably Lionel?

[@LynettaTrisler]

Seen over 200concerts missed this one wish I would have had the experience

[@roxannabledsoe]

I love me some Commodores ❤❤❤

[@andresetc]

That's what I call puttin' the 'unk in Funk ! Haaa-wt DAAAWWG ! What in the heck did these guys have for breakfast growing up? Whatever it was, they're not serving that anymore, and this great music is only history today...😢

[@lydiarodriguez7615]

All my Class if 81 friends!! This is for You😊

[@winniesmith3057]

Yes!!! Class of’81. Great music

[@adamdiazjr9526]

Some things never change I guess but still love them

[@HawkwindAus]

Doesn't matter where I am, if the Commodores - Too Hot Ta Trot or Brick House or so many more - come on, I can't stay still, I have to move with the groove.

[@angelomelville9084]

That is what I call FUNK!

[@fbburnett3675]

Real 🎶 music 🎶

[@ltyler01]

Woooo!

[@stephaniecannon410]

Aww❤❤"Too Hot To Trot."🍓

[@Realigndadjmusic]

The Sax player looks familiar....😅😂

[@mundicojr]

LOL. I didn't even know he could play the saxophone.

[@stephenmoutafis5587]

He was damn good at the half time football final live

[@gilfordlarkins1232]

Yup Lionel played sax piano and drums too

[@Robil63]

Uhm HeLLO?!

[@alexvideoediciones]

Super Cool & Groove!

[@ElisaG.-fx4ir]

Top de linha👍🏻👏🏻

[@jadomay]

Didn't realize, Walter sounded similar to AL Green on certain notes 🎶

[@toddmercure2106]

Great tune

[@aaronbrown89]

Where's Tommy? 🤔🎵🎼🎶

[@ElisaG.-fx4ir]

Lionel lindo ❤💋

[@adamdiazjr9526]

This song is reminiscent of Just The Same Way from Journey in the sense that it showcased the true lead singer of the aforementioned band…nothing wrong with that but just and observation…

[@adamdiazjr9526]

An

[@SongmanKK]

Where's Thomas McClary on the guitar? In fact, they're two guitars on the song.

[@brettgawley7924]

Whoooo!

[@Daniel-h7q2k]

Can't believe no comments this is the shit! Makes u wanna get up n b too hot to trot!¡!!!!¡!!!!¡!!

[@DelmarBrowne]

Being that Too Hot To Trot was a song from a soundtrack, it didn't get that much play. It was slept on and a hot song!

[@FunkATeer-qk7hq]

💜🎶🎸🎶🎺🎶🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽

[@essiejames9492]

Walter was just as good on vocals just didn't get the recognition as Lionel

[@Odawg96]

Interesting clip. Conspicuous by his absence is guitarist Thomas McClary. I though that was him on drums, but at a second glance, it doesn’t appear to be him.

[@stevenholfeltz351]

From my understanding, Thomas had a knee injury and missed this set.

[@LuisLopez-xx2db]

With all security his major success.

[@erubey8909]

Did Lionel write this classic?

[@salimthebarefootsage8182]

Now I know that Brick House wasn't the only Walter Orange lead.

[@illostr8]

Such a Woman is another

[@adamdiazjr9526]

Is it me or does it look like they’re using the horns and guitars as props?

[@DEELOCOWAS]

I thought this song was Boogie Nights by Heatwave.

[@adamdiazjr9526]

Only problem I have with this rendition; is it me or does anyone notice only Ron LaPread and Walt Orange doing any real instrumentation?

[@stevenwells7585]

The real problem WITH this song os they don't play it more 🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😮😮😮😮

[@phillydisco-h1r]

Walter Orange is up front singing lead. He's usually drumming, which he does in the TGIF movie version.
