Commodores Funk | Soul 3 Artikel

The American funk/soul band Commodores peaked in the late 1970s through
the mid-1980s with some wonderful hit classics, like “Just to Be Close to You”,
“Easy”, “Three Times a Lady”, “Still” and “Lady (You Bring Me Up)”. Our exclusive
Commodores Collected release contains all these classics, supplemented with
fan favourites and other tracks from their impressive oeuvre.
Commodores’ long association with Motown began as a result of a tour opening
for the Jackson 5 in 1971. With their brass musicians and co-lead singer
Lionel Richie they reached to fame by releasing their first R&B number one
hit “Slippery When Wet”. It meant the start of an impressive career, with seven
number one songs and a host of other top 10 hits on the Billboard charts. In
1982 Lionel Richie left the band to pursue a solo career.
Commodores Collected is available as a limited first pressing of 2.500
individually numbered copies on gold (Disc 1) and red (Disc 2) vinyl.
