When you said "new group, the Commodores" it was clear you had no idea what was coming. I'm sure most of us were saying "wait for it"! I was already tearing up and then, "Wait! That's Lionel Ritchie!" Like, what's he doing here? Oh man, this is one of my favorite reactions ever. Right up there with "whoever this singer is, he's really good" about Freddy Mercury. Love you JV! You make my day. Congrats on 50k subs! Don't be shocked when it's hundreds of thousands. Your honesty, innocence and vulnerability are rare qualities in today's society. That's what keeps us coming back.
He started in the commodores Check out Nightshift, Sail On, Three Times A Lady 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 can’t go wrong on any of their songs Cruise and put windows down and turn it up 🤗
I really dig "Penny Lover" as well. There were a few years when Lionel Richie was so prolific, hit after hit after hit. He had those creative juices flowing in overdrive.
71-yr-old white guy here: You've missed out, young man! I was in my late 20s when the Commodores came out with this song, & on Saturday nights I'd be slow-dancing with some fine lady when this song was playing- it made 'em melt EVERY TIME- Lionel had a voice that made panties drop all over the WORLD!! I could tell by the look on your face that you enjoy it now as much as I did back in the day!! Stay well!
Oh, yeah. Lionel Richie is one of the very best artists out there. I used to use his songs in teaching English as a second language, for many reasons. I think Sail On is one of his best.
Lionel was in the Commodores from day one. This group had a lot of number one hits from the 70 s. You'll have to check out more songs. I use to dance to alot of them at the Discos in the 70 s.
When going thru my divorce in 1980/81, The commodores song "Still" made me cry a lot but it got me thru it. My ex passed away and never knew this was my song to him about our marriage. This was a great band and a great song reaction. Easy, is such a chill song.
As a white kid growing up in the 70's in country, bluegrass area, I listened to a lot of music the Commadores and Lionel Ritchie were one of my favorites, Lionel is absolute "LEGEND".
If u haven’t heard Lionel’s album called Tuskegee, its a must!!!! One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE albumsIve ever heard!!! All old sings with duets with lots of country greats!!!!
I have always loved Lionel Richey and the Commodores! What a voice! What a songwriter. Penned sone of the greatest songs ever. I enjoy your reactions! You are a bright light during dark time! Thank you!
This is such a smooth song. And his voice is so soulful. The nostalgia takes us back. There is a comforting vibe to his voice that takes me back to my dad's vibe when he was around.
I went to an all girls private school in Hawaii and one of my favorite teachers in senior year had went to college with the members of the commodores (idk if it was a couple or all of them). They came in concert and she took me and a couple of her other favorite students to the concert and took us backstage to meet the group. Great memory. Love you Mrs T!
@@Tuesdays_Gone their school mates made fun of them unmercifully! No, it wasn't the kkk, it was their fellow black students. It took quite a while for them to gel and as soon as they did, they drove up to Wish bone Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama where Terry Woodford And Clayton Ivy cut some HOT FUNK called Machine Gun. That blasted the doors open and the rest was history!
I was fortunate to see The Commodores in concert during their heyday. The whole band was all glitzed up and the 1000's of attendees were all wearing Light-Up glow Necklaces. Great memory.
Found this on the Commodores: Commodores is an American funk and soul band, which was at its peak in the late 1970s through the mid 1980s. In 1977 the Commodores released "Easy," which became the group's biggest hit yet, reaching No. 4 in the US, followed by "Brick House," also top 5, both from their album The Commodores. The group reached No. 1 in 1978 with "Three Times a Lady." In 1979 the Commodores scored another top-five ballad, "Sail On," before reaching the top of the charts once again with another ballad, "Still." In 1982, Lionel Richie left to pursue a solo career Thanks for your reaction, Jay..... Take care and be well. Peace.
Jay....here's a link to Richie's song, Still which is my favorite of his songs. My mother and I had a very fractured relationship and when she died, I had this song played at her funeral. Peace. ua-cam.com/video/-V4pKKo4oro/v-deo.html
I was a junior in high school when this song came out. Damn, I’m old. Great memories. His writing and performing is so heartfelt. By the way, Nicole Richie, his daughter. His friend couldn’t take care of their baby daughter and Richie let her stay with him and his family. He loved this child enough to make her his and adopted her. Sweet guy!
Have to say I used to listen to this with my dad, Christopher Cross and some of the other old school grooves from the real singer songwriters...teared up tonight with the power of music. Thank you brother
Jayvee. I LOVE this song. In 1977 I was just retired from the U.S., Air Force - and my family had just broke up, Yes, was sad. I tried to hold it together - but no luck. Haven't heard this song for decades - still evokes bad memories for me. I'm a loyal fan Jayvee. You've got it together.
The Commodores' last hit came after Lionel Richie left the group. It is called Nightshift and is a tribute song to those soul artists who had passed as of that time.
Lionel Richie started with The Commodores and then became a solo, this album was their first and just skyrocketed in the charts in the 70s! I was very lucky to see them in person twice. In person they were just as good as they were on their albums. And the show they put on while singing all those songs was unforgettable
Thank you broham for your reaction videos. You always seem to bring us back to our youthful years. Yes, these types of group singers are hard to find. The songwriters were smooth and beautiful. Easy like Sunday mornings... make your soul feel good!!
Love the Commodores and Lionel Richie. There were a few years there where he was just pumping out the hits. I'm not sure which year it was, but at the American Music Awards, he was winning everything. Incredibly talented singer/songwriter.
The Commodores are fabulous! In keeping with the vib you need to check out Midnight Train to Georgia by Gradys Knight and the Pips! You’ll love them too! Keep on doin’ what you’re doin’ and Peace Out!
I remember I was living in Columbia Maryland at the tender age of 13. The first time I heard this song, I was standing by a lake side on a Sunday morning. I had smoked pot before but this time was different. And then this song came on. Life has never seemed so easy as that moment.
This is one of my all time favorite songs! I was able to see Lionel in concert in June 2019. When I heard the first notes of Easy, I teared up. Incredible experience. By the way, my favorite Commodores album is Natural High. Give it a listen!
"Car Wash" by Rose Royce; a must. A funky, uptempo dance-monster. If you aren't movin' to "Car Wash," your car's gonna be dirty forever. The movie is an all-time classic as well. The rapper Daddy Rich got his name from that movie.
I Lionel Ritchie! He's by far one of the most talented men that's ever lived! Not only does he sing and play the piano, but he's one of the most prolific song writers that ever lived. He also has what's almost a magical ability to give his songs a "hook." A line in the song, usually the chorus, that just draws the listener in; making the song, itself, easier to remember the lyrics, but it also just makes you want to listen to it again and again. (The Bee Gees also have that ability, as well.) It's definitely a rare one. Thanks for your wonderful reaction. I'm glad you enjoyed this one, too.
I knew your reaction to seeing Lionel would be fantastic to see and oh boy it was definitely that Jayvee. I loved him in the Commodootrs and I love his songs solo. My favourite with the group is Once, Twice Three times a Lady and my solo is Hello. I think he has a smooth and rich voice which shows his emotions, and the words come across so clearly, a great singer. I am still chuckling over your reactions sweetheart, so honest and genuine, you're great my friend. Take care and stay safe please everyone, love and hugs and peace to you all Mary-Ellen UK
When you said "new group, the Commodores" it was clear you had no idea what was coming. I'm sure most of us were saying "wait for it"! I was already tearing up and then, "Wait!

Ditto.Love Jay's innocence.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I`m touched by his innocene..
I’m waiting for his head to explode with all this Wonderful knowledge called music. Absorb as much as you can.
I just adore him and his reactions. This is my favorite so far.
My very first concert. 8th grade. Yes, Sail On is awesome too.
He started in the commodores Check out Nightshift, Sail On, Three Times A Lady 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 can’t go wrong on any of their songs Cruise and put windows down and turn it up 🤗
Absolutely, really great.
Connie Sloan Nightshift is great and done after Lionel left to do his solo act!
I’m putting a face to all the comments I’ve left ya just too many C lol at least you can see who your commenting to thank Jayvee .
Can't believe you all left out Brickhouse!
Steve Francsak Sorry was just trying to get a few on the list to start with . But you got it in ☺️
Love me some Lionel Richie....listen to "Sail On", "Lady", "Still" and "Oh No"...that's some smooth, buttery love right there!
Oh, yeah, "Sail on."
Also try "Truly". You won’t be disappointed.
I love Lionel Richie voice!❤☺☮
I really dig "Penny Lover" as well. There were a few years when Lionel Richie was so prolific, hit after hit after hit. He had those creative juices flowing in overdrive.
Still always makes me cry like a baby💯😭😭♥️
This is classic! I loved it as a kid and I still love it today! Never gets old!!
71-yr-old white guy here: You've missed out, young man! I was in my late 20s when the Commodores came out with this song, & on Saturday nights I'd be slow-dancing with some fine lady when this song was playing- it made 'em melt EVERY TIME- Lionel had a voice that made panties drop all over the WORLD!! I could tell by the look on your face that you enjoy it now as much as I did back in the day!! Stay well!
One of my all time faves ❤🔥🔥🔥
I love this ❤️ song!! ☺☮️
This song brings me right back to 9th grade......The Commodores are amazing.........
Oh, yeah. Lionel Richie is one of the very best artists out there. I used to use his songs in teaching English as a second language, for many reasons. I think Sail On is one of his best.
Yep my all time fav too....check out Sail On with Tim McGraw on Lionel’s Tuskegee album...soooo good!!!!
Love it. Brick house is a great one by the Commodores.
classic shit
In the mid-70's, every girl with curves heard "She's a brick, brick house" as she walked by ...
Plenty of great music from the small, Great state of Alabama. This was the Tuskegee boys!!
oh the music,
So happy all this music formed part of my 60yrs of life.
Lionel was in the Commodores from day one. This group had a lot of number one hits from the 70 s. You'll have to check out more songs. I use to dance to alot of them at the Discos in the 70 s.
I graduated 1979, I remember this song playing at school dances.
"I'm easy like Sunday morning..." Chokes me up, man.
When going thru my divorce in 1980/81, The commodores song "Still" made me cry a lot but it got me thru it. My ex passed away and never knew this was my song to him about our marriage. This was a great band and a great song reaction. Easy, is such a chill song.
Be blessed with god
i LOVE MUSIC FROM ALL GENERES, I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME.
I am surprised when young people say they have never heard theses songs. I grew up with them as part my life.
As a white kid growing up in the 70's in country, bluegrass area, I listened to a lot of music the Commadores and Lionel Ritchie were one of my favorites, Lionel is absolute "LEGEND".
Ahhhhhh yes. They are from Tuskegee Alabama. My university was just down the road. They were huge. Try Brick House.
If u haven’t heard Lionel’s album called Tuskegee, its a must!!!! One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE albumsIve ever heard!!! All old sings with duets with lots of country greats!!!!
TUUUUUU. TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY. Crimson Pipers!

this song is perfect for you. it's like your personality.
Had the album and I had the love. The Commodores say it's easy!!
This is such a smooth song. And his voice is so soulful. The nostalgia takes us back. There is a comforting vibe to his voice that takes me back to my dad's vibe when he was around.
Absolutely one of the smoothest songs ever...always makes me smile, all the good feels on this one
Great in the Commodores, or as a solo singer , so many songs fantastic .🤗
I love your channel! I love your reactions! Good job man! I've heard this song about 1 million times!
Gotta do “Sail On”. 🙌
I went to an all girls private school in Hawaii and one of my favorite teachers in senior year had went to college with the members of the commodores (idk if it was a couple or all of them).
They came in concert and she took me and a couple of her other favorite students to the concert and took us backstage to meet the group.
Great memory. Love you Mrs T!
Music was light years better than today. what a classic.
These guys were so great together...Lionel Richie put the right songs together and they collectively were magnificent!🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
I get such a buzz watching you love these old tune's. 👍🇬🇧
One of a kind voice
Another song I remember hearing together with this one way back when is "Use Ta Be My Girl" by The O'Jays.
No auto-tune and the band members actually played instrument's.
Coolrockndad, yes. You don’t see that anymore. Raw talent.
The Commodores -- you can't get better than this ! What a great song!
That was the rule in those days !
Back then there weren't as many contracts offered either, you had to have lots of talent just to get heard.
@@Tuesdays_Gone their school mates made fun of them unmercifully! No, it wasn't the kkk, it was their fellow black students.

Heard this a thousand times in '77. Never got old.

First group entertainment I ever saw in Concert when I was 18 yrs old and I’m 62 now 🥰 I was so excited to go see them a memory I will never forget ☺️
Thank God you're wising up and experiencing all this incredible music.
Amazing song! You'll never go wrong with the Commadores 🎶💙🎤
Another favorite of mine's. Lionel Ritchie another brilliant genius songwriter and lyricist in music history
I was a junior in high school when this song came out. Damn, I’m old. Great memories. His writing and performing is so heartfelt. By the way, Nicole Richie, his daughter. His friend couldn’t take care of their baby daughter and Richie let her stay with him and his family. He loved this child enough to make her his and adopted her. Sweet guy!
YOU’RE old . . 8 was in my 30’s, .. dancing’ queen at the disco 💃
Saw Lionel in concert a few years ago....stood at the stage and danced for 2 hours....great night!
Love this song. Takes me back to 4th grade. Always loved this. They have so many good hits.
Beautiful song... I love Lionel Richie. Thank you!
Sail On is fantastic!!! All old Commodores are just awesome...
Oh my, fav of mine. Lionel richiev😍👏👏
Have to say I used to listen to this with my dad, Christopher Cross and some of the other old school grooves from the real singer songwriters...teared up tonight with the power of music. Thank you brother
The three people who gave this a thumbs down: Autotune creator, autotune company employee and his son
Lol, right!
and now eight shareholders as well
how can you not like the reaction even if you don't like the song?
Damn lol
Jayvee. I LOVE this song. In 1977 I was just retired from the U.S., Air Force - and my family had just broke up, Yes, was sad. I tried to hold it together - but no luck. Haven't heard this song for decades - still evokes bad memories for me. I'm a loyal fan Jayvee. You've got it together.
So much glitter! I love it
I've loved this song since the first time I heard it.
It's very soulful and touching.
Would love for this song to be back on the airwaves.
Gorgeous song❤️❤️
Looks like our friend found a new favorite band. The Commanders. They were and still in my heart are great!
"Just to be close to you" Play it for your fav lady. And you're welcome Jayvee.
The Commodores' last hit came after Lionel Richie left the group. It is called Nightshift and is a tribute song to those soul artists who had passed as of that time.
Love me some Lionel Ritchie and The Commadores! This song is just... well Easy! Love it!
TRUE JAM!!! GO LIONEL!!! AWESOME

You see, this is what we grew up with, REAL music, talented artists, hit makers. you Definitely have to do more Commodores!!
this was the ultimate song for a slow dance when I was a kid...such innocent days...
Love the Commodores and Lionel Richie. There were a few years there where he was just pumping out the hits. I'm not sure which year it was, but at the American Music Awards, he was winning everything.

Brick House is one of my favorites from The Commodores. Their cassettes played on repeat in my car stereo back in the late 70s.
Avevo 17 anni, con questa canzone scoccò la scintilla mentre ballavo con il ragazzo che sarebbe diventato mio marito. ❤️
Thanks man, 1977, the year I met this beautiful girl sitting over here next to me 43 years later...
I remember I was living in Columbia Maryland at the tender age of 13. The first time I heard this song, I was standing by a lake side on a Sunday morning. I had smoked pot before but this time was different. And then this song came on. Life has never seemed so easy as that moment.
one of the best songs to come out in the 70s. I'm so glad I was a little kid and got to hear this on the radio. Just pure essence, pure talent.
I love Lionel’s voice! He one of my favorite singers
‘Just to be Close To You’ by the Commodores is my fav by them...❤️
My favorite. Great song.
One of my favorite songs of the era along with Sail On and 3 times a Lady
This is one of my all time favorite songs! I was able to see Lionel in concert in June 2019. When I heard the first notes of Easy, I teared up. Incredible experience. By the way, my favorite Commodores album is Natural High. Give it a listen!

I Wanna Get Next To You.
Poor TC.
But he did finally convinced Mona to go out with him.
Any Rose Royce is good.

Takes me right back to the high school dances..................Everybody liked the commodores. Smooth like butta
"(She's a) Brick House," "Sail On," "Still," " Lady (You Bring Me Up)" and "Three Times a Lady" are other great songs by the Commodores.
Sail on!
I've been to over 200 concerts ..Never seen LR..I refuse to die without seeing him
Who doesn't love Lionel Richie lol?! This is one of my favorite Commodores tunes!!
Grew up listening to all genres of music and this indeed is one that I truly have loved. Your reaction is just what I thought it would be. Love It!♥️
“I’ll be around” , by The spinners is a lovely song. “Girls”, by Moments and whotnots are both brilliant and bring back lots of happy memories ❤️
4 tops when she was my girl
You must love Dolly My Love & Jack In The Box by The Moments . Good tune fun times
Musicianship back in the day was on a whole different level.
