Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Includes liner notes. The American funk/soul band Commodores peaked in the late 1970s through the mid-1980s with some wonderful hit classics, like 'Just to Be Close to You', 'Easy', 'Three Times a Lady', 'Still' and 'Lady (You Bring Me Up)'. Our exclusive Commodores Collected contains all these classics, supplemented with fan favourites and other tracks from their impressive career. Commodores' long association with Motown began as a result of a tour opening for the Jackson 5 in 1971. With their brass musicians and co-lead singer Lionel Richie they reached fame by releasing their first R&B number one hit 'Slippery When Wet'. It meant the start of an impressive career, with seven number one songs and a host of other top 10 hits on the Billboard charts. In 1982 Lionel Richie left the band to pursue a solo career.

1980 tenth album by the Commodores & last album with Lionel Richie. It is a very solid album though not as hard hitting as the prior album but still an album with 3 hit singles on it. By the time it was released rumors went around that Lionel Richie was going to leave the group for a solo career, which did not happen until two years later. Includes the Top Ten hit "Old Fashion Love" & the second single "Heroes" hit 27 on the charts. Other strong tracks on the album are "Got to Be Together", "Celebrate" & "Sorry to Say". But the most memorable track from this album is "Jesus Is Love" Richie's prayerful message and pleading cries are solidified with a lyric and melody that complement one another. The song's popularity is far greater than what the charts reflected (number 37). "Wake Up Children" and "Mighty Spirit" are two other inspirational selections. When Lionel Richie left for a solo career, Heatwave's J.D. Nicholas replaced him. Album Tracks 1. Got to Be Together 2. Celebrate 3. Old Fashion Love 4. Heroes 5. All the Way Down 6. Sorry to Say 7. Wake Up Children 8. Mighty Spirit 9. Jesus Is Love
