Free Music Review: Nicole's dad and his gang!
Hit: 5 Stars
Long before he was famous for being Nicole Richie's dad, and before his hugely successful solo career, Lionel Richie was the frontman for seventies/eighties Soul band Commodores.
They were known for funky songs like "Too hot ta trot" (featured in the disco movie "Thank God it's friday"), "Brick house" (with its yelled Hooouse!!! refrain), fusion jams like "Machine gun", Latin-tinged numbers like "Zoo (The human zoo)", and beautiful silky smooth ballads like the Country tinged "Easy", "Three times a lady" (US #1), "Still" (US #1 and the forerunner to the mega smash "Endless love"), "Oh no", "Sail on", "Wonderland", and my favourite "Flying high" to mention a few.
All are represented on this 20 track greatest hits, as are a few songs the band recorded after Lionel's departure; the droning top 10 smash "Nightshift" (tribute to Jackie Wilson and Marvin Gaye), the Pop/R&B "Janet", and the Rock-tinged "Animal instinct" with Walter Orange and J.D. Nicholas on lead vocals.
The group were excellent musicians, and their harmonies were stupendously good ("Flying high" for example). Shame a few of my favourites like "Why you wanna try me" and "Heroes" were left off, but still, this gives a great overview of one of the most talented and hardworking bands of the Seventies.
