Book The Commodores
The Commodores are a funk and soul group, and Lionel Richie shared the lead vocals during their golden years around 1977 to 1982. The band came together at Tuskegee in Alabama, where the members were first-year students. Their sixteen studio albums include Machine Gun in 1974, Caught in the Act and Movin' On in 1975, Hot on the Tracks in 1976, Commodores in 1977, Natural High in 1978, Midnight Magic in 1979, Heroes in 1980, In the Pocket in 1981, Uprising and Commodores 13 in 1983, Nightshift in 1985 and United in 1986. Their songs run from the funky party anthem "Brick House" to the tender ballads "Easy" and "Three Times a Lady." In concert, the band delivers a tight, horn-driven show packed with classic Motown-era soul and funk.
