This group had more talent in their little finger than many groups today ever will. Harmonies, instrumental musicianship, arrangements, song choices, they were pure professionals, all of them.

[@goosefarm3602]

so true

[@bigbluelou1562]

Absolute truth.

[@anthonyblakely399]

No.1 on the Country charts. No.1 on the Billboard charts. This song made The Commandors a very versatile soul/funk band. Love the song. Love ❤️ this group.

The Commodores could not write a bad song. I was in middle school when they were big. My sister was almost 5 years older than I was and she had all of their albums. I bought the first Lionel Ritchie album when it came out. Everything on it was good. All those guys were extremely talented.

[@heatherbegs]

[@santosmadrigal3702]

I always thought of that song as a great country song ... I love that song .

[@donreid6399]

To me, the ultimate breakup song. Love the line, "I'm giving you back your name." The definition of a broken marriage. So heart wrenching....

[@randylevine7944]

Also, how about "would you please just go away". That's pretty harsh. lol

[@CodeBleu724]

It's a song about divorce. Giving you back your name...giving her maiden name back. It's totally heart wrenching. I went through it 12 years ago and this song got me through the pain.

Exactly a smile and tears like incredible music should. I think most of us especially by a certain age reallly feel this song (& im a female but it does this to me just an incredible song)

[@willow0828]

When I was 16, I went to a Commodores concert. A friend was going with me as well. Because we were minors, the only way she could go was if an adult went with us. So my mom went with us. It was general admission, so we got there early so we could sit in the front row. My friend was absolutely gorgeous. She got the attention of the stage manager who invited us to meet the band. We met everyone but Lionel Richie. When we had to leave, William King (one of the Commodores, in this video he’s playing the piano/keyboard), wanted to make sure we got to the car safely. It was around 2 in the morning & he walked us to the car. Gave us all a hug & a kiss on the cheek. I’ve never forgotten his kindness.

[@mrnobody3161]

Fantastic. Amazing experience. I had a meet and greet with one of my favorite bands. I'd been listening to their music since 1975. They're one of the reasons I co-founded a Progrock band. It was a bit overwhelming. Oh, the band I met was, Yes. My band was microscopic in comparison. No regrets. 🎷🎸🎹 👋🇨🇦🎼🎶🎶✌

[@paulahunt3508]

@Michele Perez Oh how Blessed and Lucky you are! Sorry ya missed Lionel. I’ve loved him from the first song they made!

[@thecasper911]

Okay these 2 are by far the best! The music is always good, but Jordan and the way his face lights up, and Amber always wearing that beautiful smile when they are reacting is amazing!

[@caryt59]

This song actually did make the "country music" charts as a cross-over!

[@frankhemmen9551]

Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie collaborated on Lady, and they worked together like brothers over the years.

[@ronstoner1823]

The Commodores/Lionel Richie hit me when I was in middle school. I'd listened to R&B since I was little. The Commodores really hit the spot. This really shows me how music has no color of skin. If you love it LISTEN TO IT!!!!!!

[@jamesstarks3676]

The Commodores were formed while Richie was in college at the famed Tuskegee college in Alabama, so their roots to country music is 100% genuine. Matter of fact, Lionel Richie wrote tremendous hits for major country acts, such as "Lady" for Kenny Rogers, which you must review if you haven't already.

[@johnmrog]

Tuskegee is about 15 miles away from Auburn, Alabama. I was fortunate to go to Auburn at a time where The Commodores were still together and a major band and they would play a concert in Auburn *every year*.

[@valeriegregory3683]

[@gasser217]

[@merlball8520]

The Commodores are the epitome of "easy listening". This song is probably my favorite song from them. There's something about it that's very distinct - I guess all great songs have a uniqueness to them. It has such a calming vibe to it, and yet has enough energy to lift your mood too. Thank you for the reaction. I love being reminded of old favorites like this that I haven't heard in a while.

[@donlowe105]

The first time I heard of the Commadores, I was in a club in Panama City FL. It was The song, Brick House, blew my mind. I was born in 1959, so I was lucky enough to grow up hearing the best music ever made, be it rock, country, Motown, I think that's why I love music so much.

59 here as well and you are right!

[@donlowe105]

@@terrylynnheinrich8777 don't get me wrong, there are a lot of good groups today, but nothing like in the 60s & 70s.

[@jayakers708]

Y'all were destined to love his one. Commodores cover genres. Like EW&F, they also have some of the most touching love songs. My personal favorites are "Just to Be Close to You," a very different composition, and "Still." Both very reaffirming and beautiful.

[@jadakid6942]

Spot on. And don’t forget “Still” !

[@RobertLemp]

The Drummer is so amazing in this.... OMG!

[@gingers.5933]

Love the Commodores! This is my favorite song of theirs.

[@bshows89]

People often don't realize how closely related country, soul, and R&B are until a song like this blends them so seamlessly. They're distinct musical styles that developed in parallel cultures. Two separate cultures that lived side by side but separately for hundreds of years developed their own music, but the proximity of the two cultures meant that they borrowed from eachother until the lines blurred significantly. You can hear soul in older country and you can hear R&B in newer country just like you hear country in this song.

[@keithknox5829]

The best music to me is genre-less. If it feeds the soul, just sit back and enjoy it. They were a lot like the Eagles to me back in the day. Just making good music was all that mattered to them.

[@7harrylime]

Great comment.

[@j.w.matney8390]

Not a shock, they’re from Alabama.

[@mikemorgan5394]

Yup, Mussell shoals recording " Swampus", influenced a lot of music. Redneck power!

[@daveman_50]

Ray Charles is another example of blending and bending supposedly-separate genres.

[@jaimiewarren8687]

Another band I love. A huge part of the soundtrack of my childhood . You looked so shocked at the change of their sound. 😁 There weren’t hard lines drawn around genres back then. Groups were allowed to do amazing things floating around all genres and themes. They could do 3 genres in one song if they wished and it was appreciated by other groups instead of being harsh critics of any attempt to step out of the lines. They should bring that attitude back and see the amazing things they could do with freedom of creativity. ❤

[@beeseewill2407]

Lionel Richie is a great pianist.This is Lionel's country sound.Those Alabama roots set in.He also does that country sound in "Stuck on You". He's good at it.You guys have to check out The Commodores "Zoom".I love Lionel .I own so much of his music with and without the Commodores he is amazing.That voice is unmistakable.

[@Dee-JayW]

Stuck on you…my fave song of his!!

Also my favorite Commodores/Lionel Ritchie song. Back in the day, I didn't notice the country influence, but it's definitely there.

[@cspaikido]

The song by the Commodores is called simply "Easy." It might be my personal favorite.

"Still" may be one of the ten most beautiful songs ever written.

[@shanninsabala452]

Watching you 2 hear songs I grew up listening to for the 1st time reminds me and my husband how we felt the 1st time we heard and fell in love with the songs all over again

[@walterpanovs]

Lionel Richie's "Easy" (with the Commodores) and "Lady" (a hit for Kenny Rogers) also had that smooth country feel.

[@alexakl6445]

You really can't beat his ballads. Remember that he wrote "Lady" for Kenny Rogers to sing which was a huge hit. And his piano playing is just wonderful - as you can hear it in this song even though it didn't show him playing it in this video. And you are so right, Amber, he's always given total joy to us all. My wedding song was his "Truly". : )

[@vandergod]

Always loved this song. Now you should listen to “Easy”, “Brick House” and “Three Times a Lady”.

[@kev7161]

Not a fan of Brick House, but do enjoy the other two, plus the song "Still" - - all very mellow (not Brick House of course), but very smooth and enjoyable.

[@fermisparadox01]

Brick House sung by Walter Orange. I was in a house band and he came in and sit in a couple songs. I live very near Tuskegee

[@jdw5678]

Don't forget "Zoom," one of their most beautiful songs from the '70s.

"Easy," talk about a vibe. If you ever want to chill, that's the song.

Lionel brings tears of joy to all the ladies! He touches the emotions!

"Just To Be Close To You Girl" is something special...! among other great songs from them...

[@teresajarrell452]

[@tvgator1]

You guys nailed this cuz this song ACTUALLY entered the County music charts when it came out and very well.

[@doreenharper3703]

Another great song by Lionel Richie is “Say You Say Me” from the movie “ White Nights”, which is an amazing movie!!!! This song won an Academy Award in 1986. Hope you react to this song soon!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

His album, Tuskegee, is him doing his songs with various country artists. You would love it! Even does a duet with Darius Rucker!😉

[@scottblakey1603]

Easy Like Sunday Morning....one of my favorite guitar solos!

[@clg3697]

He "covered" many of his hits as country duets on his Tuskegee album a few years ago. "Stuck on You" magnificent in the 1980s but his duet with Darius Rucker was better. Whole album is great.

[@btgiv6009]

Gotta say that I'm not a fan of the duet. Unfortunately, Lionel's voice just isn't what it was, and that legendary smoothness is gone. He sings many of the notes staccato, and it's especially apparent how far off he is when Darius comes in sounding awesome as always. I found it kind of sad to listen to.

[@sparky6086]

I remember, that Lionel Ritchie worked with Kenny Rogers some, before Lionel began to do solo work. I don't remember the song, but Lionel wrote a country hit for Kenny Rogers. The Commodores are from Tuskegee, Alabama, so it isn't as surprising as some would think, that they knew their way around Country music. They sort of did their own thing & weren't stuck in a pigeon hole.

[@BostonMarcus]

The remake of "Stuck on You" with Darius is the best for sure!!

[@nancyberry1039]

One of my favorite bands from childhood. My older cousin (3 yrs older) introduced me to all the great classic R&B groups/artists. The Commodores were one of her favorites (mine too) & whatever new record she bought, she would play it for me, & then I'd go out to buy my own copy of the single or album. We both had awesome collections- Commodores, Earth Wind & Fire, The GAP Band, Lakeside, Cameo, etc. The Commodores were the one group I listened to the most, as I was a huge fan of Lionel Richie's song writing talent. The man can write love songs like no one's business - every one guaranteed to be featured at weddings everywhere. Sail On & EASY are my top two favorites, followed by Three Times A Lady, STILL, & Nightshift. Please go further down this rabbit hole. Oh, I almost forgot - Brickhouse will get ya movin' & groovin' in your seat. Every time DJ's would put that song on; whether it was the radio or at a the local nightclub/disco - it always got everyone up on their feet as soon as they heard that opening beat drop, Lionel's "UH!", the horns joining in, & the cat call whistle. That was the signal to get up & dance - LOL!

[@taylortyler1867]

The piano in this song is _so_ good, kind of emotional.Y'all are gonna _LOVE_ everything they do. "Machine Gun" is an instrumental by them that I _LOVE_ . Check it. And speaking of instrumentals, "Frankenstein" by the Edgar Winter Group is one of the few rock instrumentals to ever make it to # 1 on the pop charts, My personal all time favorite song. No bull. It's my favorite song _EVER_ . The first album I ever bought was "They Only Come Out at Night", and it was for that song, (I was 11 years old), which is probably why it holds a special place in my heart.

[@Junebugreen]

Frankenstein! Yeah!

[@pn1123]

This is my favorite Commodores song. When this song came out, I was going through the break up of a long term relationship. This song made me live again. It still gives me that sense of freedom.

[@stretchgilbert]

In recent years Lionel made a country album with many of his hits re done country style. Lionel is a country boy at heart

[@zevongrie1402]

I loved this song when I was a kid before I even understood what the song was about, and today I still love it. One of my all-time favorite songs by anyone. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DanielFrost21]

"Three Times A Lady" & "Brick House" by The Commodores are must-listens.

❤ Commodores were so great! Have not heard this in forever. Spot on reaction. 🙂

[@loadedorygun]

I haven’t heard this song in years but it’s actually incredible. Country, funk, disco, R&B…all together. Most groups can mix 2, maybe 3 styles, but I can literally pick out all four in certain spots. Insane. Commodores are kind of like Chicago; once their lead singer got all schmaltzy pop things kinda when downhill but before that they were FIRE.

[@mimimusick9734]

Awww, this takes me back.... surprisingly, one of my fave Commodores tracks is from after Lionel Ritchie left the band; Nightshift. Would love it if you reacted to that, it's a tribute to their favourite singers like Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson, who went too soon. A lovely atmospheric song (at least I think so 🙂)

[@teresajarrell452]

YES!! NIGHTSHIFT!! 👍😃❣️

[@LaptopLarry330]

I cry every time I watch the music video for "Nightshift". At the end of the music video, the band members are performing wearing their naval-inspired suits that they wore in the 1960s. It was their way of saying goodbye. Fortunately, The Commodores are still together, and still tour.

[@johnjohnson1709]

Huge hit on the country, pop, R&B and easy listening charts. Probably the most well-rounded song of all time.

[@FreeDonaldTrump1]

I must be emotional today. This song brought a few tears ❤. Paired with this video it’s so so good.

[@helnopeno]

Hey, thanks for reviewing this song, it brings back memories for sure. While at Basic Training at Fort Gordon, Georgia 1979, this song would be played on a jukebox at a snack bar that we were not able to patronize because we training to be soldiers. But we heard this and other classics from that era over and over playing on that jukebox from across the street. It makes me happy to hear this wonderful song. Thanks for the great memories.

Not only were they amazing singers, but they were funny!! After college they had a successful song (can't remember which one) and I remember them being interviewed and the thing I remember best was that when they were asked how they got their name, Lionel Ritchie replied that they closed their eyes and opened a dictionary, and stuck there finger on word. Straight faced he said "We just missed being the commodes".

[@teresajarrell452]

🤣😅🤣👍

[@bssee8367]

The Commodores started in the late 60's. Recorded with Motown. Lionel Richie actually did many "country" sounding songs. He wrote a hit for Kenny Rogers in 1980, "Lady".

[@delisamarchetti5926]

Hi guys, this is giving me chills up and down both arms!! I love the Commodores. I went to see them live in 1978 at the LA Forum. Wow was that a concert. My friend and I could only afford tickets up in the cheap seats, but it didn't matter, it was a party. Their costumes were so bright and their moves so smooth, we could see them even though we were so far from the stage. I got a red Commodores t-shirt that I wore to death. I wish so much that I still had it. This song is beautiful. My favorite if you haven't played it already is: "Too Hot to Trot". If you haven't played it , I would love if you could play it for me. It is really funky and fun.

You guys hit it right on the nose. Lionel Richie's favorite style of music growing up was country. And that was the reason why Lionel Richie eventually left the commodores. The group kept complaining that Lionel Richie was writing too many country themed love songs. If you guys are up to it, you should watch and react to the CMT special that Lionel Richie and Kenny Rogers did called Crossroads.

[@jamesway]

Written with MJ

[@MrSteveLoucks]

Sail On is such a glorious song! It presaged Lionel Richie’s path down the country route in solo songs and those he wrote for others including Kenny Rogers. PS This May seem like a strange juxtaposition but you need to listen to the Pointer Sisters’ Fairytale and Stevie Wonder’s I Ain’t Gonna Stand For It. Once you do, you’ll appreciate the connection! Prepare to exchange befuddled yet pleasantly surprised looks just as you did here!

Smiles across the board. Commodores were the beast years ago. In college early 80’s anytime someone cranked a commodores song everyone turned down what they were playing to listen to. A cool and great band of musicians.

Lady by Kenny Rogers was meant for the Commodores, but they voted against it and when Kenny Rogers asked Lionel to write him a song he gave him “Lady”.

Jay was referring to the Commodores' song "Lady". They have one titled that too.

Do yourselves a favor... Do the Commodores "Brickhouse" next. That song could turn a cemetery into a disco.

Listening to this song today in July, 2024, it was immediately followed by a Macy's commercial featuring this song! It's on TV frequently also.

There's a great live version of this that Lionel sings with Tim McGraw in a Lionel Richie tribute special.

my favorite commodores song by far. it actually brings tears to my eyes - remembering the 70's and all of the amazing varieties of music that came from that time. all of my friends were rock and metalheads and did not appreciate lionel and co. or motown and soul like i did. still have my commodores greatest hits vinyl bought back then - still in perfect condition. also remembering the POINTER SISTERS and the unbelievable string of smash hits they produced. man what a time to be alive
