COMMODORES
The members of The Commodores were students at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. In 1967, the band formed from the ashes of 2 dissolved groups: The Jays and The Mystics. Once The Commodores signed with Motown, the band took off, making its chart debut with "Machine Gun" in 1974. The following year, "I Feel Sanctified" topped the US R&B chart. More soul chart toppers ensued: "Just To Be Close To You" (1976), "Easy" (1977) and "Too Hot Ta Trot" (1978). The latter was included on the 'Thank God It's Friday' soundtrack. This disco film included The Commodores as part of the cast.
1978 saw the band reach a new height. "Three Times A Lady" reached #1 on America's Pop, R&B and Adult Contemporary charts. It also made the top in Britain, Canada and Australia.
The sound of the group shifted from the funky grooves of "Brick House" to ballads such as "Sail On". The latter proved more lucrative. "Still" topped the US chart in 1979.
As the 1980s began, Lionel Richie was contemplating a solo career. He remained a Commodore as he released "Endless Love", a duet with Diana Ross. In 1981, the song made #1 around the planet.
Richie quit the group in 1982. With the exception of "Nightshift" in 1985, the group struggled without him. Richie's solo career soon surpassed his success with The Commodores. Only 2 founding members remain in the current line-up: Walter "Clyde" Orange and William King. The trio still includes Richie's replacemment, J.D. Nicholas.
