One of their best songs even without Lionel...A great tribute to Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson...May they Rest In Peace...Lionel had already started his solo career by the time they recorded this song...The first guy that sang in this video ( Walter " Clyde " Orange ) was the original lead singer of The Commodores even when Lionel was with them at the groups beginning...Then Lionel took over as lead singer and the rest is history...They had another lead singer mainly during their College days named James Ingram, but he left for Vietnam.

This song was a tribute to Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson. Two soul singers of my generation (or anyone who's a baby boomer). I'll always miss them two, glad I was born at the right time and saw Marvin twice. High school when What's Going On and Let's Get It On were out, born in 1953. My generation are lucky. Marvin's core audience were us teens or 20s something back then

I love how the song pays tribute to two legends, Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson (both of whom died - quite young - in 1984, the year before this song came out). And yes, this is the post-Lionel Commodores, where the vocals were shared by Richie's replacement, J.D. Nicholas, and drummer Walter Orange (who happened to be the same man who did the vocals for "Brick House"). For your next Commodores song, I recommend "Oh No".

Diana Ross did a very sweet one about Marvin, "Missing You". Another great tribute song "American Pie" by Don McLean was about Buddy Holly, J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson and Ritchie Valens. I'm always a ball of tears at the end of La Bamba when his mom finds out he died. Same thing with Selena.

​​@@terryconnelly484 "Rock and Roll Heaven" was first recorded by the band "Climax" in '73, but it didn't really climb the charts; then, the very next year, 1974, when The Righteous Brothers reformed, they took it on and it rose to #3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The lyrics were also updated to include Jim Croce(loved him!) and Bobby Darin who had both died in '73. Over time, the lyrics were periodically updated to include other legendary singers, such as Elvis, John Lennon, Keith Moon, etc.

Amber has a great mind and a big heart, she’s always spot on with her analogies of the lyrics and meanings of great songs! Thank you both for finally listening to this instant classic! I’m sure Lionel knew the Commodores was in good hands when he heard this. Nobody’s saying that the second lead singer is then new lead singer J.D. Nicholas. He is still a member of the group to this day.

Actually, Richie left at the end of '81 after he recorded "Endless Love" with Diana Ross. After that dropped and became such a hit, he embarked on his solo career, which we all know has been a success. Nonetheless, this tune proves The Commodores were still a solid group capable of generating great material and hits.

Lionel went solo to an incredible career. Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson died the same year. (1984). The Commodores were awesome, and this song is a beautiful tribute to Gaye and Wilson. Marvin Gaye's death was especially tragic...being shot and killed by his father. Horrible Loss.

I love the metaphor of 'Nightshift' as applied to these iconic artists, Marvin and Jackie, both of whom died the year before this song was released in tribute to them (and which was The Commodores only big hit after Lionel left the group). The metaphor calls to mind former dayshift workers with whom we were once all on the same schedule, in sync and able to see and enjoy them whenever we wanted, but who are now working nights, out of phase with the rest of us, now existing for us only in fond memories of the times we once shared. It's also interesting to depict the afterlife as being at night, these incredible talents no longer bathed in the sunshine they once enjoyed with us, but now performing in some amazing band all together, playing those sweet sounds through the night while we sleep, supplying us the soundtrack of our dreams. Perfect metaphor, working on so many levels!

Wilson was an R&B singer known for his stirring performances and hits like "Lonely Teardrops." Wilson was 49 when he died; Gaye was 44."

Just a bit of gear info for Jay- regarding the guitar, the portion you're talking about is called the headstock. Instruments like in this video are referred to as "headless." The tuning machines/knobs are designed differently and located on the body with a headless guitar/bass. Headless designs are for multiple reasons, including instrument balance- to avoid "neck dive" by reducing weight at that end so the guitar doesn't tend to rotate if the players lets go of it for some reason, like a player also doing keyboards.

This song and music video was released after Lionel Ritchie left The Commodores. Walter “Clyde” Orange, who alternated with Ritchie singing lead vocals, sang the first verse. African-British singer J.D. Nicholas, who replaced Lionel Ritchie, sang the second verse. Whenever I watch this music video, when the group is singing while wearing their throwback naval-inspired suits, I start to cry. When I saw this music video on MTV in 1985, I got very emotional, because I thought that this was going to be the last time I would ever see or hear from this group. Fortunately, The Commodores are still together, and still tour regularly.

Amber...How can someone as young and beautiful as you have a 1,000 year old soul??? Both of you are very special humans and we love your reactions. God bless you and your family and stay groovy!! Peace and love to the rest of my "family" here.

Whew, this song hits so different having lost my dad in 2021. I can picture him singing this. Couldn't even finish the video. Amazing song, though, glad y'all discovered it.

I remember when the Commodores came out. Loved them. Still love Lionel. What great songs. Favorite will always be Easy. I was at Myrtle Beach just out of high school, hit up all the clubs and it was playing everywhere. What great times.

This was a tribute song to Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson. Lionel was no longer in the group.

Love this tribute song…Lionel had already moved to his solo career.

Possibly one of my favorite all-time songs that makes me smile every time I hear it. Also, I want to be that cool dancing in a white-sequined captain's jacket. Damn!

Lionel decided to go solo and this was during that time. You guys really missed out on him winning four American Music Awards in one night during 1987 for his album "Dancing On the Ceiling", so I think he made the right move. 😃 I remember him going back and forth to the stage and being so surprised that he kept saying "Outrageous!" 😄 There may be footage on RU-vid. I think he won three of the same award for his album "Hello" a year or two before that.

This takes me back to '85. Fresh out of High School (my HS sweetie went back that year for 13). Lost my pop the year before and the year later I was in LA. Strange few years.

This was sung by Walter Orange, after Lionel left the group - but an amazing song for all that.
