Commodores - The Commodores (1977)
Ideated from: some inbox albums whose only common thread is being self-titled
Lionel Ritchie and company quickly pivoted from the funk that got them noticed to the R&B ballads that would make them a hit factory. I don’t know if that started on this record, but it has Easy–one of the most recognizable of those ballads–on it. There’s still plenty of funky fun elsewhere on the disc.
Tracks I Liked
Brick House - maybe the most overtly sexual entry in the grocery store music canon
Funky Situation - a little of everything they did best.
Easy - a classic
