Lionel Ritchie is a legend, he really is, SO many hits, within The Commodores and as a solo artist...what a writer, too!

@Shrykespeare 2 года назад

Such a great song, and maybe one of the most-played songs on Easy Listening radio in the late 70s. For more great Lionel-led songs, try "Three Times a Lady", "Still", "Oh No", or "Old Fashion Love". You also might consider doing "Nightshift", their tribute to the legend and legacy of Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson (which they recorded after Lionel left the group to go solo). OR.... if you want to get more into Lionel's solo stuff (you've only done "Hello" so far), you can do "Endless Love" (a truly magnficient duet with Diana Ross), "Truly", "You Are", "My Love", "All Night Long", or "Say You, Say Me". Thanks for reacting!

As hard as it is for me to imagine you never having heard it before, I recommend "Endless Love" as others have. Lionel Richie and Diana Ross produced one of the greatest, if not the greatest, pop music duets of all time. Great music for a reaction and a song that I think is going to remain significant and remembered for many decades to come.

@ChristopherGwinn 2 года назад

That's guitar solo is (at least partially) the sound you get when running the guitar directly into the recording console and cranking up the gain knob, so it gets crunchy and has lots of high end (as opposed to the usual method of recording the guitarists amp with a microphone). This track might actually be a blend of the direct to console signal with a mic'd amp (maybe running through a fuzz pedal too).

@RDRussell2 2 года назад

"Three Times a Lady" is THE Commodores/Lionel Richie masterpiece. White radio, black radio, disco radio, pop radio, even country radio - you name it - that song was inescapable in summer 1978. Be sure to listen to the long (studio) version of the song, it carries so much more emotional resonance.

@theodoreritola7641 Год назад

@ppplll1122 2 года назад

@5:15 on your reel, that guitar sound is made by a “Fuzz” pedal. A piece of gear a guitarist uses to make that sizzle sound.

"Zoom" is my favorite Commodores song. Written by Lionel and bass player Ronald LaPread in memory of Ron's wife who passed away after a long battle with cancer. It's not a sad song. It's an optimistic song of hope.

"Easy" peaked @ #4 on the Billboard Pop chart & #1 on the R&B chart (1 week) in 1977. It was their 7th single to chart Pop Hot 100 and the 3rd to reach the Top 10. Over their career, The Commodores will chart 25 singles on the Pop chart, reaching the Top 10 ten times including 2 #1s between 1974 - 1986. On the R&B chart, the Commodores place 29 singles, 16 in the Top 10 including 7 #1s between 1974 - 1988.

@misterdoe 2 года назад

Did you know Lionel wasn't the original lead singer? The original lead was the drummer, Walter Orange, who you've already heard on "Brick House" -- he also did a great lead on their post-Lionel ballad "Only You." He and Lionel shared lead on the next song you should react to, "Just to Be Close to You." Play the long version and you get to hear Lionel preach!

@charlessarver8350 2 года назад

I was in the concert choir in high school and we use to jam this one out a lot. Sounds awesome with a full choir. I'm also a guitarist and this is probably the first solo I learned on my own on guitar. It's also the only song I know how to play on the piano.

@kev7161 2 года назад

They had a lot of similar type of laid back, smooth songs like this in the 70s: Easy, Three Times a Lady, Sail On, Just to be Close To You . . . All great songs. If you react to Three Times a Lady, look for the longer version. It has more depth to it.

@jasonremy1627 2 года назад

5:00 the guitar sound is from a type of guitar effect known as a "fuzz pedal". Electric guitarists can put electronic devices between the guitar and the amplifier to modify the signal in different ways, called "pedals" or "stomp boxes". There's dozens of different kinds of effects you can put in your signal chain, like chorus, echo, phaser, overdrive, Wah, compression, etc. This one is a classic "fuzz pedal" though.

I really like the song "Oh No" that Lionel did back in the early eighties. I don't think it's as very well known as the others and I think it was whenever he started his solo career, I'm not sure if the commodores are backing him or not, But this is always been a favorite of mine that he did, If you can ever get around to that would be awesome 🙂

@jimmycrawford5148 2 года назад

I've lived in Alabama my whole life and been a country musician my whole life and Easy is one of my all time favorite songs. Lionel was born and raised in Tuskegee and the Commodores were formed at Tuskegee Institute. They were basically a funk band but Lionel took them in more of a pop/country direction. Songs like Sail On, Stuck On You, Deep River Woman I always thought were country songs. I always thought Lionel should do a country album which he finally did about 15 years ago. On that album he did a very cool version of Easy with Willie Nelson. The horns, the guitar solo and of course Lionel's piano and vocal....Easy is definitely in this country boy's top 5 all-time favorite songs.

@DaphneQueen 2 года назад

So my dad has an old record player and speakers that all’s at Easy like Sunday Morning. When I asked him why he told me that while he was in the army in 70s, that was the nickname he was given while in Germany, so this song will always think of him! In a strange twist, my father gave me a name (my real name) that actually translates in English to “easy/ easy-going” so I’m kind of named after him and this song! Great reaction as always guys!!

@miltonslocum8957 2 года назад

Amber and Jay, you just can't go wrong with the Commodores! So many hits and great memories. Another one I'd recommend is "Zoom". It holds a special meaning for The Commodores. It was written by Ronald LaPread and Lionel Richie. Ronald LaPread's wife, Cathy, had cancer and he began composing it and she gave him some ideas for the melody and Lionel put the words to it. Cathy passed away before the song was released. I think you'll really enjoy it when you know the meaning behind it.

The guitarist is Thomas McClary. The sound he gets during the solo is a combination of a compression and fuzz pedal mixed through a oscillator. If you watch closely, you can see him stomp the pedal when the solo is over.

Lionel Richie has a way of delivering harsh news and making it sound amazing lol Check out "Sail On" and "Three Times a Lady" - and I think you would LOVE "Joanna" by Koll & The Gang. Thanks for the reaction!!!

This song just melts the tension off me. A buddy of mine once said "I didn't realize Lionel Ritchie was in the Commodores!", I said "C'mon, that's easy...easy like Sunday morning" lol.

"Easy" !!! My favorite song from them. You could say easily my #1. I love the simplistic sounds of all the instruments. So artistic and doesn't rely on "gymnastics" for lack of a better word.

I always loved it that they were an actually a full band and not just a singing group.

What a great song!! You can't help but want to get into your favourite chair, grab a chilled drink and just float on air!!! Check out more of his solo stuff like 'Dancing on the ceiling'

The original is unmatched, but Faith No More does an amazing cover of this song.

I can listen to Lionel sing all day long, my dad was a big fan of Lionel Richie and the commodores so we heard him all the time.

This was the first band I ever saw in concert. They were amazing.

MUST HEAR Classics:: The Brothers Johnson "I'll Be Good To You",, "Strawberry Letter 23" & "Stomp" R.I.P. Louis 🙏 ❤

One of my favorite guitar solos. Nothing flashy, just perfectly appropriate for the track.

This was my mom’s favorite Commodores song. I have great memories of my parents slow dancing to this song. ❤️

You guys..... Sooo glade you covered this. This was one of my favorite songs from the 70s. I had this album on 8 track... This was an "Our Song" back in high school with my girlfriend Terry Farquhar.... I loved it. Thank you both....

George Benson was also a great smooth jazz guitarist in the 70's. If you liked this you'll love "This Masquerade". The piano solo at 5 minutes in is so good. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sgl1hQmjITY.html

Recently found out that"This Masquerade" is a Carpenters song.

@541walker 2 года назад

Yes. It was written by Leon Russell. He did a version on his Carney album.

@btgiv6009 2 года назад

I was just thinking the other day that they need to do Benson's "Turn Your Love Around". An underrated classic.

@michlkwitz 2 года назад

I've heard the song twice in the last two days as I shuffle through my music collection -- George's version yesterday, The Carpenters' today. I love Karen's vocal, but George completely blows her version out of the water with the addition of his guitar.

Jay, you’re so right about the drums! Absolutely phenomenal drumming on this track.

Drummer Walter “Clyde” Orange was the second lead vocalist in the band. He sang lead on Brick House & Too Hot To Trot and did co-leads with Lionel on Just To Be Close To You and I Like What You Do.
