"Nightshift" is a song by the American R&B/funk band The Commodores. Released in 1985, it was the group's first single recorded without Lionel Richie, who had left the band for a solo career. Instead, lead vocals were handled by Walter Orange and J.D. Nicholas.
The song was written as a tribute to two influential musicians who had recently passed away: Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson. The lyrics express admiration and respect for these artists and their contributions to music. The chorus of the song includes the line "Marvin, he was a friend of mine, and he could sing a song, his heart in every line," paying homage to Marvin Gaye.
"Nightshift" was a commercial success, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States and topping the R&B chart. It also performed well internationally, reaching the top ten in several countries.
The song's smooth groove, catchy melody, and heartfelt lyrics have made it a classic of the 1980s R&B genre. It remains a popular choice for radio play and is often included in compilations of 80s music.
