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

@marybaillie8907 Год назад

This song won 1985 Best R&B Grammy for a Group. This was their first song without Lionel. A tribute song for Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson who both died young. This was their only Number 1 song after Lionel left. Great tune. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦

@Lovejazz01 Год назад

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.

@Shrykespeare Год назад

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.

@robinmcintyre3472 Год назад

@@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.

@dawnpatrol700 Год назад

Walter Orange ( the 1st singer in this) was always in the band. He sang " brick house" and some of the funkier ones and played drums, while Lionel sang the ballads. They brought in an extra singer after Lionel left circa 83

@Dragonsinger71 Год назад

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.

@MicheleJane Год назад

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.

@billparrish4385 Год назад

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!

This was actually The Commodores first hit song after Lionel Ritchie left the band to go solo. Marvin Gaye was killed in April of 1984 and The Commodores released this song in January of 1985. It hurt my heart the first time I heard it at 18 and it still does today. It’s a beautiful tribute to Marvin and to Jackie Wilson who died of complications from pneumonia the same year (1984). You guys should check out Nothing But Blue Skies & Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher by Jackie Wilson sometime.

Being a child of the 80s, this song is the one I think of when I hear the Commodores name, even though they made SO much great music.

@Musicvegan01 Год назад

Walter Orange was the main lead in the Commodores earlier stuff, he's the 1st lead on "Nightshift". Lionel usually played the saxophone or keyboards then. Walter is the lead on "Brick House", probably their most known uptempo track. Later the group became mostly known for Lionel's ballads that crossed over to Top 40 pop radio, but their more funky songs were primarily played on R&B radio. They did another version of "Nightshift" when Michael Jackson passed. A similar song to this is "Soul Heaven" by Johnnie Taylor. I think "Nightshift" was from their 2nd album after Lionel left. Lionel has said in interviews that he wasn't originally planning to leave the Commodores permanently, he was just going to release a solo album as a side project. Sort of like Genesis (Phil Collins/Mike + The Mechanics/Tony Banks) or New Edition (BBD/Johnny Gill/Bobby Brown/Ralph Tresvant).

This is the Commodores post Lionel Ritchie! He’d left for his solo career which was huge in the eighties! The Commodores made music after Lionel left but they were never the same as before for me!

Diana Ross also had a hit song in tribute to Marvin Gaye after his tragic untimely death in 1984, called, “Missing You’!❤❤

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.

@UTubeHandlesSuck Год назад

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.

The song features a lead vocal from drummer Walter Orange, who had sung lead years earlier on "Brick House". Lionel Richie's replacement, J.D. Nicholas, sings the second verse and then Orange and Nicholas share lead vocals on the remaining choruses. The first verse mentions Gaye's song "What's Going On", while the second verse mentions Jackie Wilson's "Lonely Teardrops" ("Say you will"), "Baby Workout" and "(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher".
