-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.c...
Who else here feels truly blessed to have been alive during the era of great music like this?
Yep!
Absolutely blessed! ❤️🔥
Yes!! And over across the pond, we were going for it too. Bowie, the Stones, Sex Pistols and the Clash. A great time to be alive.
young folk will never know, but glad they are finding these gems
me!
"I know it's a shame, but I'm giving you back your name." Gut wrenching..
The lyrics are heartbreaking. It's like he's talking himself through the realization that there was never a chance for a happy ending, that they were always going to break up, because he wasn't what she wanted and she wasn't what he needed. Real anguish, but also closure. It's a brilliant song.
It gives big “I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed” energy and I’ve always loved that. Complete 180 from, say, You Oughta Know.
The Commodores and Earth, Wind, & Fire were absolutely everything back in the late 70s. Brings we right back to 7th and 8th grade. Such great music.
"Easy" is one of my favorite Commodore songs!
My favorite
Zoom. Live
Amazing
'Still' is it for me.
They did Easy a year ago mate. Its on the channel already 👍
YES!
One of my all time favorite songs. The lyrics and vocals are top notch. And that bass is just perfect.
What strikes me about this song is just how patient the Commodores were in unfolding everything it has to offer, revealing a serious level of musical confidence and sophistication.
Easy Like Sunday Morning is, to me, one of the greatest mellow songs ever written. It just creates a warm and happy mood.
Again I have to say, we're all so glad you love our music. We know who we are.........
True.
"History has been arranged; to hide us from our secret names. But God knows who we are."
Cassandra Wilson
"Memphis"
"You gave nothing in return" just hits them where they live.❤
Commodores were the soundtrack to our lives for probably 5 or 6 years. Everything they did was magic.
The Commodores' songs are some of the best moments of 70's music. Lionel Richie a first rate songwriter.
Their best songs include:. "Still", "Theee Times A Lady", "Just To Be Close To You", "Brick house ", "Sweet Love", "Machine Gun", (a fantastic instrumental), and a great hit without Richie, "Nightshift ".
Easy!
@@laurakali6522
Obviously, I thought if that 1st but then discovered they'd already did that one.
Love "Machinegun." A very underrated funk instrumental for sure. The bass synth in that song is top tier.
I love “Sweet Love” as well.
Rapid Fire even better than Machine Gun imo
This song is therapeutic!
The excellence of the Commodores shines through ❤
It is Lionel Richie singing. FYI: Richie/Commodores were from Alabama - hence that country twang. The group formed in college at Tuskegee Institute. You can hear the country in a lot of their early stuff.
Ritchie grew up in Joliet, Illinois
“Stuck On You “ has country elements also
@jimgoebel5348 Doesn’t take long to pick up that twang when you’re living in the South ! 🤣 Just ask this girl from New England!
Their early stuff was heavy on funk some jazz and R&B. You can hear some early Kool and the Gang influence and some Bar-Kays, especially the first 3 albums. Walter Orange sang and wrote a lot of their early stuff. Their slower stuff had a tad bit of country influence like 'Still', 'Stuck on You' and even 'Easy' but most of there stuff was R&B and funk
Tuskegee, wow, that's got some wild historic undertones
Because of the poll I went and listened to this again. I had forgotten how good it is. It's one of their best. It builds in just the right way. Good bass, good horn arrangement, enjoy.
That big chorus with the bright brass, bongos and maracas uncorks and just soars, literally, sailing on past your ears and lingering forever in your head with perfect brevity.
His song "Still" is similar but more emotional.
As a 64 year old man who remembers when this song made it's debut, I'm happy you two understand how good this song is.
Lionel Richie! The Commodores! Awwwww what a time to be alive! 70’s music can’t be beat!
Lionel Richie is a criminally underrated songwriter.
A Southerner equally at home in a Black Gospel church, Blues-Funk club or C&W hoedown, his musical chops were always impeccable. The Rolling Stones were inspired by the music, Lionel Richie lived it.
c'mon man
Took it for granted while growing up; these songs and their counterparts were coming out weekly for my whole childhood and teenage years
Graduating high school in 1985 was the absolute BEST time in music! Now some might argue that the Woodstock Era or the late 70'S. BUT how awesome my music journey has been!
I’ve listened to this song hundreds of times and know every word to it, but I never really noticed that it was such a great break up song. Maybe because the music feels so positive throughout. 🤷🏽♂️
Nightshift is another gem that requires a listen...🎵Mahh-vin🎵
Yes!
Nightshift is definitely a fantastic song
forgot how good this song is. Thanks for reminding me 👍
I saw the Commodores in concert in the early '80's. An excellent concert. Great sound
Being from Alabama, their home state, I've always been proud of the music of the Commodores. They did a trio of break-up songs close together about three different types of break-ups. Easy takes you by surprise because the chorus and easy melody didn't match the lyrics of a terrible break-up. Sail On covers a break where you're ready and willing to let it go and set them free. The hardest one for me to hear is Still... it's about a marriage that both tried hard to make work.. the love was there by other things going the wrong way.. listening to all three are powerful.
Love this song!
This was a great surprise! Classic Commodores! The thing about Lionel Richie is, he's from Tuskegee, AL, and puts all of his Southern life into his music, country feel included! He can get lost in the Stevie Wonder/Prince/Michael Jackson of it all, but his run of hits is spectacular!!
The classic breaking up song 😭
Favorite line “I’m giving you back your name”
Beautiful song♥️Love The Commodores♥️♥️
What a glorious song - brings joy to one's heart. 😉
"Sweet Love" - such an uplifting song by the Commodores.
Smooth as silk
The Commodores were everywhere and everything at this time - the talent was undeniable.
I’ve always enjoyed this song and glad you kids did too.
The fabulous Lionel Ritchie singing and that amazing piano playing - so beyond talented. The Commodores have several timeless songs.
Beautiful song!
I was eight years old when this song was popular and my dad died unexpectedly. Every time I hear this song, it brings back memories of him.
Thanks for your reaction:)
The song "Still" still gives me goosebumps.
Horns & strings ! 🎉🎉🎉
As you, Alex instanced, the structure of this song is just so self-assured - it saves the hookiest bit until last, but musically hints that it's coming up almost all the way through. So, that when it does get to it, there is such a great sense of fulfillment. It's a masterpiece of song writing and the musicality touches right through and the absolutely superb production it make it one of my top 3 songs of the 1970s.
Maybe I am biased but the 70's produced the best music regardless of genre.
❤
So smoooooooth.
Love this one! Classic! 🔥
I think I love this song more today …. Great song !!! Great reaction!!
Oh the memories!! A good one!!!
Phil Collins "I Don't Care Anymore" is a banger of a break up song! Lyrically and sonically, it's the exact song ya need after a break up. It's from his 1982 solo album "Hello, I Must Be Going" (great album!).
This is my favorite Lionel Richie/Commodores song. It's amazing! Love the piano and strings.
Its impossible to dislike this. Perfect.
Lionel Richie’s voice is magnificent. He’s always been smooth. The band is terrific, the strings, killer bass and percussion. I’m so glad to have grown up with this music!!
I had Billy Ocean' " Carribean Queen" stuck in my head yesterday. I rarely get songs like that stuck, it's usually rock. 😊
I had turn your love around by George Benson 💕
Guys, love your insightful reactions to some of the best music ever, love the flower shirt too.
Amazing the songs I wouldn't be caught dead listening to when I was in my teens that I just love now, this is one of them for sure.
Although the full version does it much more justice this shortened version doesn’t feel like you’ve been shortchanged, a true classic
Omg thanks for connecting this with America (my favorite band). My best experience in Vegas was seeing the Commodores live then getting to dance with them at the hotel club right after. And Earth, Wind, and Fire guys showed up, too. Epic.
Love the Commodores! All of the songs were when I was in High School. Great memories.
One of THE BEST songs, EVER🔥... ❤ The Commodores🙌
Great review of this absolute classic song 🎵 🎵
You played a prematurely faded version, That Breakdown at the very end oes on a while longer. MY FAVORITE!!!!
The horns are so soulful in this 🥰
A triumphant breakup song…
The Commodores and Lionel Ritchie's solo stuff is pure gold.
I Love this song. Watch the video of them.
Definitely the best era in music history
A&A, you'll love their "Brick House", "Three Times A Lady" and "Still" !!
edit - Alex, that was Walter Orange on drums. Producers - James Anthony Carmichael(and arranger) and Commodores.
Brick House is a must.
Great songs also 👏👏
Definitely need to give Brick House a listen!
Amazing band! LOVE Brick 🧱 House!❤
"Still" is one of my favorites from 'Commodores'.
But I would add "Machine Gun" and "Slippery When Wet" to that list of good funk songs from them...
This song is so beautiful and brutal in the good way. I love it! 💗
Tampa in the House! Shout out to our home boys - Andy and Alex!!!
The commodores produced some of the most well constructed and written music of their era. Definitely check out Zoom.
Saw Lionel perform at the LA Olympics closing ceremony. Flawless live, as I expected. If I hadn't paid so much for the stupid tickets I woulda liked it more 😹
Hi A&A, My favourite song by the Commodores, Smooth as FK, Lionel Ritchie is a songwriting & singing Genius IMHO, Cheers 🇺🇸🎸🇬🇧✌️👍
Nice chill out song, it would be great if you could check out Al Green How can you mend a broken heart (live on soul 1972) top song
If you love the Commodores already this story will make you love them even more. In their early early days, they were booked in a club in Illinois. The club had an electrical fire just as the band arrived. The owner and staff were beginning to clean up and the Commodores started helping right away. As I was told, the band didn't take all the money they were contracted for and just had the travel and lodging covered before they moved on to their next gig....
I always liked this song...never was on my top 100 chart but was just one of those songs I loved listening to and singing to...its simple but just an easy catchy tune to listen to
This tune, and Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" both save the chorus for the end of the song. This is rare.
Boston's more than a feeling tops the cake 1976
OMG The Commadotes have so many more BANGERS you guys need to react to
What a great breakdown of the song, guys!
“Best of My Love” by the Eagles. Most misunderstood break-up song. I’ve actually heard it played at weddings.
This song, and "Zoom" by far, S-tier and my all-time favorites from The Commodores.😊
LOVE this song.
Love this song, it's a song that 95 percent of people can relate to, have went through and have lived with sometime in their life.
This is my favorite Commodores tune ❤
Oh how I love this song…😊such harmony..loved the Commodores! Lionel Richie is always great! 😊
I don’t know how many times I have said this about different artists. But Lionel Richie is one of the all time greats. 7:53 !
The reason this such a great break-up song is that there are no angry lyrics, he’s not angry just DONE and gone.
Just seeing this album cover makes me happy. It was EVERYWHERE, and I was like 9. :) Also Lionel wrote "Lady" a country song for Kenny Rogers.
When Andy's head starts going like a bobblehead I know he's getting lost in the sauce.Love it!
Such a great song.
It needs to be longer😂❤❤
Yes sir, you "better know" Mr. Lionel Richey - Major Icon. No down time with him. When I heard he left The Commodores and heard his solo stuff, I realized - oh, he "was" the sound of The Commodores. Like 90% was L.R. (I love The Commodores too, now - but c'mon, you gotta admit, he was the main attraction." Beautiful, exquite music and touching stories. This one in particular was so tragic bc the person hurt was so in love and really tried, but there comes a time when you have to say good-bye and let that other person "sail on." He told her (via the divorce) I'm giving you back your name. Guess she was bound to ramble. Thx guys, I waited a few years for y'all to play this one.
GOOOOOOOOD MORNING A&A FAMILY!
☮️💟♾️
Morning, John! Happy Friday!
Morning Allison @@allisonreed7682
First reaction to this song I have come across. A more poetic way of saying don't get mad, get even.
I haven't watched all the way through to your ratings yet, but I don't care whatever you guys decide; this song is S-tier, PERIOD! "Easy" is another good one from the Commodores.
Good song!
I love you guys because sometimes I forget how great some of this music was
Wait,that's not the full version.Lets regroup and hit it again!🌻🌻🌻
Lionel Richie wrote an #1 pop hit for eight straight years. 1978 “Three Times A Lady”, 1979 “Still”, 1980 “Lady “ for Kenny Rogers, “1981 “Endless Love “ , 1982 “Truly “, 1983 “All Night Long (All Night)” 1984 “Hello” and 1985 “Say You Say Me”! Just missed nine straight as in 1986 “Dancing On The Celling” peaked at # 2. “Sail On” peaked at #4.
Played this album so many times as a kid, I wore out the grooves. Such a great band. Machine Gun is a burner.
Y'alls reaction is exactly how felt. When I unpacked this album it also had a huge poster included...love the LP's back in the day
Great breakdown of this Classic.... well done guys!!!
I saw Lionel do this at Glastonbury 2015. 210,000 people singing along. He is the man!
That had to be AMAZING!
@@allisonreed7682 It was. Lionel said it was the greatest gig of his life. We were at the front but the crowd went back half a mile.
@@PaulK-ve1pu that’s incredible! I’ve always enjoyed watching Glastonbury performances online. I can’t imagine how epic it must be to experience it in person.
@@allisonreed7682 Never been able to get a ticket since. They go on sale on a Sunday morning and sell out in less than a minute, all 180,000 of them.
