00:10.325 --> 00:17.153
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, we are back with the top five for Lionel Richie and the Commodore's.
00:17.533 --> 00:18.535
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I forget the Commodore's.
00:18.815 --> 00:21.178
[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna talk about our top five Lionel Richie songs.
00:21.338 --> 00:24.361
[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna talk about our top five Commodore songs.
00:24.381 --> 00:26.143
[SPEAKER_00]: This is actually start with the Commodore's.
00:26.804 --> 00:28.306
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, they're on a curve ball here.
00:28.366 --> 00:33.632
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, let's start with the Commodore's, because I, you know, I think,
00:34.253 --> 00:42.944
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of the stuff on the, on the, the Commodore's best stuff is almost as memorable to me as Lionel's best stuff.
00:43.284 --> 01:02.067
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and you know, you and I talked about this a little bit, which is, you know, when we talked about the Lionel album, you know, what were my parents listening to in 1982, and I still cannot really answer that question, but I will say that I remember when we got cable.
01:02.553 --> 01:05.276
[SPEAKER_00]: And there was MTV in there was VH1.
01:05.857 --> 01:10.743
[SPEAKER_00]: One thing my dad did do was he would just sit there and watch MTV all night.
01:11.824 --> 01:15.028
[SPEAKER_00]: And he would record the videos of the songs that he liked.
01:15.950 --> 01:21.597
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we had multiple VHS tapes of just music videos.
01:22.077 --> 01:28.425
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I would like, you know, I would kind of just be curious and scroll through and see what some of these songs were.
01:28.675 --> 01:42.364
[SPEAKER_00]: And I very clearly remember the video to maybe my favorite Commodore song ever, which is, um, uh, lady you bring me up.
01:43.255 --> 01:57.554
[SPEAKER_00]: because of the video of them at the park and then all of a sudden, they're just playing soccer for something like that is such a clear memory for me and because of that memory, I've always really loved that song.
01:58.375 --> 02:08.008
[SPEAKER_00]: So that is definitely in my top five and that is all based on just being a little kid and finding this random video of these dudes just playing soccer.
02:08.469 --> 02:09.811
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm.
02:09.831 --> 02:11.473
[SPEAKER_01]: So, funny.
02:11.673 --> 02:15.659
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, what, what would you, I'll go, I'll, I'll, I'll do that.
02:16.019 --> 02:21.367
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I'll say that is one of my top five, I mean, I think Brick House is going to be in both of our top five.
02:21.407 --> 02:23.009
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm guessing it is not.
02:23.309 --> 02:24.070
[SPEAKER_00]: It is not.
02:24.251 --> 02:24.932
[SPEAKER_00]: It is not.
02:24.992 --> 02:26.754
[SPEAKER_00]: Man, you know what?
02:27.495 --> 02:37.309
[SPEAKER_01]: So, because of, you know, when I was born and, you know, sort of my introduction in music,
02:38.555 --> 02:42.921
[SPEAKER_01]: Brickhouse got a lot of play in my house when I was a little, absolutely.
02:43.662 --> 02:48.608
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think I've just kind of worn off of it.
02:49.209 --> 02:49.730
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm, interesting.
02:49.970 --> 02:51.172
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
02:51.212 --> 02:52.754
[SPEAKER_01]: To me, it's just like a party song.
02:53.154 --> 02:53.955
[SPEAKER_01]: It is 100% up.
02:54.016 --> 03:00.344
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you still people birthday parties, wedding dances, all that stuff, somebody's gonna play Brickhouse.
03:01.525 --> 03:03.027
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so I name two.
03:03.068 --> 03:05.270
[SPEAKER_00]: Why don't you name a couple when I'm here last time?
03:05.290 --> 03:06.452
[SPEAKER_01]: So actually,
03:07.175 --> 03:11.620
[SPEAKER_01]: wrote down my experiences this time around because I don't want to forget anything.
03:13.101 --> 03:27.257
[SPEAKER_01]: So my number five actually was lady you bring me up, which is just kind of a fun up tempo song and you don't really associate up tempo with Lionel Richie, but it's you know a good groove in song and I also remember that video.
03:28.678 --> 03:37.047
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember her name on top of my
03:37.027 --> 03:38.369
[SPEAKER_01]: And you can correct me if I'm wrong here.
03:38.389 --> 03:49.583
[SPEAKER_01]: You've probably seen the video more recently than I have, but there used to be Commodore's, so Commodore's in one of the first music groups or music artists out there had like a jeans line.
03:49.883 --> 03:51.084
[SPEAKER_01]: They were Commodore's jeans.
03:51.365 --> 03:52.366
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what Lionel said.
03:52.566 --> 04:04.401
[SPEAKER_00]: Lionel not only did Lionel say that, he said he gave Michael Jackson's, he said because Michael would just,
04:04.955 --> 04:07.899
[SPEAKER_00]: like where some stuff that didn't necessarily fit.
04:07.919 --> 04:12.264
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's like, no, Mike, here's some, I'm going to give you these jeans and, uh, so yeah.
04:13.626 --> 04:13.786
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
04:14.126 --> 04:25.140
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I had now have to rewatch the video after we're done talking, but I think there's, you know, some girls with their butts out wearing like Commodore things with Commodore is like the Commodore's logo stenciled on like the back pocket.
04:25.171 --> 04:27.913
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's pretty cool to have a jeans line.
04:28.334 --> 04:29.935
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, back in the early 80s.
04:30.015 --> 04:31.417
[SPEAKER_01]: Like nobody was doing that.
04:32.297 --> 04:35.640
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think there were Mick Jagger, Blue jeans or anything like that.
04:35.781 --> 04:37.022
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's pretty cool.
04:37.822 --> 04:41.506
[SPEAKER_01]: My next choice is actually from the same album that Brick House is on.
04:42.427 --> 04:50.013
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an album cut, but Lionel talks about this in his book and he calls it, you know, says people called the Black National Anthem.
04:50.194 --> 04:55.178
[SPEAKER_01]: It sounds called Zoom.
04:55.158 --> 05:01.447
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's kind of about like escaping life and being at peace in your heart and soul.
05:02.248 --> 05:08.277
[SPEAKER_01]: And that song has always felt very spiritual to me, so, you know, that made my top five.
05:09.899 --> 05:13.504
[SPEAKER_00]: So the other three songs in mind, kind of tell you,
05:14.767 --> 05:42.748
[SPEAKER_00]: why I like the Lionel stuff so much is because they were all the songs that I'm sure the commentators were like another one of these like just to be close to you easy and three times a lady now three times a lady is a little too much for me but like you were saying with the that's what friends are for a song in the previous episode where you just heard it and you were like why did it make me feel this way even though I don't really like this song like
05:43.994 --> 05:53.046
[SPEAKER_00]: As I was going back and listening to all these comedy or songs and all these Lionel songs, I just kept going back to that song, just thinking like, why do I like this song so much?
05:53.086 --> 06:02.378
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not really like a, I don't, I didn't find it to be like a great song, but there's just something that was just stuck in my brain the whole time.
06:02.898 --> 06:03.439
[SPEAKER_00]: Interesting.
06:04.000 --> 06:12.651
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, when I think of three times the lady, the first thing that pops into my head is Eddie.
06:14.065 --> 06:29.261
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but like it just shows you like the Decomodore stuff and it's probably because of what just became popular or what became a little bit more well known because I'm a little you know We both are you know young for that time frame.
06:29.281 --> 06:41.254
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yeah But those are the ones that stuck with me, but I will say I added one just as an aside because I was asking you about this
06:41.234 --> 06:50.044
[SPEAKER_00]: I really liked the song, Night Shift, and I didn't realize that Lionel wasn't even on that song because it was post- Lionel.
06:50.104 --> 06:52.186
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like their big hit post- Lionel.
06:52.486 --> 06:52.747
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
06:53.388 --> 06:54.329
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really interesting.
06:54.589 --> 07:04.660
[SPEAKER_01]: They, after Lionel left the group or whatever, however, that situation happened, they put out a greatest hits album.
07:04.640 --> 07:30.664
[SPEAKER_01]: And they had a couple of new songs on it with some other dude singing and then they put out another album with I think a completely different dude singing that didn't do very well and then they got this guy JD Nicholas who is a British singer who has a very, very, very strong facial resemblance to Lionel Richie and they put out night shift and night shift is a song that was
07:30.644 --> 07:40.676
[SPEAKER_01]: Composed about Jackie Wilson and Marvin Gaye, who had both passed away earlier in 1984, and it was a tribute song to them, and it became a huge hit.
07:40.796 --> 07:48.786
[SPEAKER_01]: Commodore's won a Grammy, the only time the Commodore's ever won a Grammy was for that song, with or without Lionel Richie.
07:49.407 --> 07:55.234
[SPEAKER_01]: So it just kind of became this big defining single for them, and then they never were able to really follow it up.
07:55.214 --> 08:07.147
[SPEAKER_01]: But another thing I find interesting is that at the same time night shift was a hit, there was a song called Missing You by Diana Ross, which was also a tribute to Marvin Gaye, which was written by Lionel Richie.
08:08.729 --> 08:09.089
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
08:10.771 --> 08:14.455
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that is, that is, I did not put those two together.
08:14.495 --> 08:15.657
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you just put that together.
08:15.857 --> 08:17.879
[SPEAKER_01]: That's those songs were hits at the same time.
08:18.280 --> 08:18.620
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
08:19.581 --> 08:21.323
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's a really interesting thing.
08:21.961 --> 08:35.953
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, what is your, how does the rest of your top five round out for the Commodore so to out of the three actually matched with your last three, I had just to be close to you at number three, which I don't know the
08:36.743 --> 08:52.545
[SPEAKER_01]: You hear the country come out of vinyl in that song because he's there's a little spoken word piece and he's like, oh, I thought my life had so much value right I never really had no value at all and I'm like, oh, man, this dude could have been like a preacher or something.
08:53.466 --> 08:59.494
[SPEAKER_01]: And my number one was easy, just because that's such a.
09:00.217 --> 09:02.019
[SPEAKER_01]: amazing song.
09:02.400 --> 09:13.953
[SPEAKER_01]: And in between those, I put Sailon and there is a passage in the book where Lionel details a conversation that he had with Chris Rock about Sailon.
09:15.575 --> 09:19.760
[SPEAKER_01]: And even before I read that passage in the book, it always struck me as interesting.
09:19.820 --> 09:22.984
[SPEAKER_01]: How Sailon is
09:22.964 --> 09:32.334
[SPEAKER_01]: song so sweetly and the lyrics are so beautiful, but basically in the lyrics of the song Lino's song is grown like fuck off.
09:35.116 --> 09:38.440
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm through with you, I'm giving you back your name.
09:39.301 --> 09:42.224
[SPEAKER_01]: Would you please just go away, like, get out of my life?
09:43.245 --> 09:51.553
[SPEAKER_01]: But the way it's sung, you don't even necessarily like hear that right away.
09:52.630 --> 10:18.958
[SPEAKER_01]: you know people like the way that people interpreted that song was because the line was a nice guy kind of so great yeah that's that's not a it's a it's not a nice sentiment or i mean they look people break up like it's not it's not a not nice sentiment but it's just not the typical like love song right right right and destiny's child covered that song in their first album oh gosh i need to go back and listen to that yeah
10:19.141 --> 10:47.612
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, now let's talk about our top five line all I have two songs in here that are actually fairly recent now for line all their fairly recent I mentioned one of them are ready I call it love it is really one of my favorite line all songs and another one and this will make you laugh stuck on you, but I really love the version with him.
10:48.250 --> 10:50.113
[SPEAKER_00]: and dearest rocker to go.
10:51.355 --> 10:57.707
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I, you know, I think I listen to that Tuskegee album once and never picked it back up.
10:58.027 --> 11:01.153
[SPEAKER_01]: It makes perfect sense for dearest rocker and Lionel, and Richard, you do songs together.
11:01.634 --> 11:03.016
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what it reminds me of.
11:03.697 --> 11:06.462
[SPEAKER_00]: A little bit is, uh,
11:06.442 --> 11:17.418
[SPEAKER_00]: And not that Carlos Santana sang on this song when when Michael and Carlos Santana for the invincible album, whatever happens at the end where they thank each other, right?
11:18.099 --> 11:21.644
[SPEAKER_00]: And so they do the Lionel and Dearest Rucker do that.
11:21.704 --> 11:31.078
[SPEAKER_00]: Like Dearest Rucker, he kind of he oversees a little bit on this song as he is want to do sometimes.
11:31.759 --> 11:32.280
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but
11:33.830 --> 11:49.662
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was like this is really nice a moment for him to do something with somebody who's like so iconic like Lionel and you know, I'm sure Darius had similar experiences.
11:49.642 --> 12:02.223
[SPEAKER_00]: in being a part of hoody in the blowfish right he did the one soul album but then he went country so I'm sure he dealt with a lot of the same things Lionel did and kind of accepting the kind of music that they both enjoyed making.
12:02.643 --> 12:08.753
[SPEAKER_01]: Unquestionably I don't think that there's a daryous rucker if there is not a Lionel richy so there's a real direct lineage there.
12:09.635 --> 12:15.244
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah so I really like that all and I'll just go through the rest of my five and then you can you can get to yours Of course
12:16.523 --> 12:22.813
[SPEAKER_00]: all night long again, really corny, but like, it is just iconic.
12:22.833 --> 12:30.064
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's just like one of those things where you hear the beginning of it and you're like, okay, I'm just, I'm here for the next four minutes.
12:30.124 --> 12:32.247
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I just have to.
12:32.467 --> 12:36.393
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I'm just hanging out with with Lionel in this moment.
12:37.155 --> 12:42.683
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, the other one, we we mentioned you are, uh, I think that's probably my favorite song.
12:43.051 --> 12:46.635
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, I think this has been a recent thing.
12:47.316 --> 13:02.815
[SPEAKER_00]: Like ever since I learned that Lionel wrote Balorina Girl for Nicole Richie, that song is just more meaningful to me because I'm like, man, you know, like their story is is so interesting.
13:03.075 --> 13:13.007
[SPEAKER_00]: Nicole Richie is the birth daughter of Sheila E's brother.
13:13.460 --> 13:31.063
[SPEAKER_00]: But that Chile's brother was going through some stuff with the birth mom and Lionel and Brenda noticed that the little daughter was maybe not looked after all that well and they asked if they could watch her and then they ended up adopting her.
13:31.043 --> 13:38.935
[SPEAKER_00]: you know, everyone kind of knows the Lionel Richie or the Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton story of the simple life and all of that.
13:38.975 --> 13:49.550
[SPEAKER_00]: But Nicole has battled through some things and is she come back around on the other side doing seemingly well from what I understand.
13:49.590 --> 13:58.924
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love that story and it just, I don't know, for whatever that song, like it just sticks
14:02.903 --> 14:06.087
[SPEAKER_01]: So ballerina girl is one of those Lionel Richie songs that I just did.
14:06.107 --> 14:12.135
[SPEAKER_01]: It's one of those corny ballers that I just can't like I get why people love it.
14:12.796 --> 14:19.864
[SPEAKER_01]: It just doesn't hit different for me and I'm just like, oh, this is like almost painfully corny.
14:21.146 --> 14:22.768
[SPEAKER_00]: It totally completely is.
14:23.008 --> 14:24.270
[SPEAKER_00]: It's such a
14:25.280 --> 14:27.963
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, it's a very syrupy song.
14:28.825 --> 14:28.925
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
14:28.945 --> 14:39.619
[SPEAKER_00]: And yet, it's probably, you know, I now've stepped out or like I can see the reason for that song, you know, so much more.
14:40.219 --> 14:45.827
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's, so yeah, it hangs with me a little bit longer a little bit more than it did when I was younger.
14:47.028 --> 14:55.219
[SPEAKER_01]: So all night long did not make my list, but I will say, all night long is the only line
14:56.482 --> 15:01.787
[SPEAKER_01]: I was, this was, my career, my preferred way to do karaoke is to get a private room.
15:02.388 --> 15:03.889
[SPEAKER_01]: This was not a private room situation.
15:03.909 --> 15:05.931
[SPEAKER_01]: This was, sing at the bar situation.
15:05.971 --> 15:07.993
[SPEAKER_01]: And there was a wedding party.
15:08.013 --> 15:10.996
[SPEAKER_01]: Or I think it may be like a bachelor at party that was there.
15:11.456 --> 15:14.660
[SPEAKER_01]: And they all came down and danced with me during all night long.
15:14.680 --> 15:19.805
[SPEAKER_01]: So one of my memorable moments has to do with that song.
15:21.426 --> 15:25.510
[SPEAKER_01]: So my top five, and I actually just made a change,
15:25.878 --> 15:37.494
[SPEAKER_01]: were say you say me, which was a one off single that Lionel would put out that was in a movie called White Nights that started Gregory Heinz in McHelberrish, and a cough wild.
15:38.135 --> 15:43.403
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, with crazy to think a movie like existed, but was a huge hit.
15:43.763 --> 15:46.587
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a very unusual song and kind of.
15:46.567 --> 15:49.891
[SPEAKER_01]: The first two thirds of it is like a typical Lamborghini ballad.
15:50.211 --> 15:54.716
[SPEAKER_01]: Then it goes up tempo for like 30 seconds and then goes back into the ballad.
15:55.137 --> 16:04.107
[SPEAKER_00]: He meant he mentioned that it was a little hard for them to sell it to radio because of the the change in the tempo.
16:04.588 --> 16:08.212
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was just like, like, no, I wish he had to do it alone.
16:08.272 --> 16:08.913
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it works.
16:08.953 --> 16:10.735
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, and coming with the do.
16:10.795 --> 16:11.916
[SPEAKER_00]: I know what I'm doing.
16:12.740 --> 16:28.514
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, uh, speaking of somewhat, uh, later Lionel Richie, uh, he went away for a number of years, uh, from like, uh, dancing on the ceiling came out in 1986, here at least a greatest installment, 92, and then didn't release another studio album to 96.
16:28.554 --> 16:36.241
[SPEAKER_01]: So 10 years between studio albums, kind of at the height of his success, he had to do some work on himself, uh, kudos to him for doing that.
16:36.682 --> 16:38.964
[SPEAKER_01]: But that come back album is called louder than words.
16:39.004 --> 16:42.747
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's actually a really good album.
16:42.727 --> 16:45.692
[SPEAKER_01]: which was, I believe, written by Babyface.
16:46.895 --> 16:53.727
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's just like, it's, after a while, all of Babyface is so kind of started to sound the same.
16:54.028 --> 16:58.035
[SPEAKER_01]: And it definitely sounds like a Babyface song, but Lionel puts like the right.
16:59.720 --> 17:00.481
[SPEAKER_01]: stamp on it.
17:01.063 --> 17:05.131
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's just a very like, you know, Lionel never oversees or anything like that.
17:05.191 --> 17:06.253
[SPEAKER_01]: He sticks to the melody.
17:06.393 --> 17:09.700
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just a great song, I think.
17:11.944 --> 17:16.092
[SPEAKER_01]: Level conquer all, which was the single before ballerina girl.
17:16.072 --> 17:37.607
[SPEAKER_01]: which has a little bit more tempo to it has a kind of a cool mellow vibe similar to you are actually which was at the top of my list I think we've talked about that song quite a bit this episode and my fifth choice was running with the night which I think part of the reason I love that song so much is because of the video.
17:38.178 --> 17:45.608
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and it's one of those early 80s videos that doesn't really make a ton of sense.
17:45.628 --> 17:56.423
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but there is dancing and that feels like there's a wedding that gets broken up in the video, something like that, and Sheila E plays Lionel Richie's love interest.
17:56.403 --> 17:57.084
[SPEAKER_01]: in the video.
17:57.404 --> 18:16.152
[SPEAKER_01]: So tying the dial, connecting the dials from Sheila E to Lionel to Nicole Richie, so on, and Sheila E also was on tour as Lionel's drummer when Prince kind of was like, oh, hey, check you out.
18:16.172 --> 18:17.854
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's make a record together.
18:17.834 --> 18:20.357
[SPEAKER_01]: and you know, they started hanging out.
18:21.058 --> 18:24.362
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but yeah, it's I just have such fun memories that video.
18:24.382 --> 18:29.908
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's a cool little like, um, we talk about the similarities between Michael and Lionel.
18:30.269 --> 18:38.739
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think a lot of the people that played on beat it played on running with the night just got to seem like a tar solo when, you know, that kind of thing.
18:38.839 --> 18:41.682
[SPEAKER_01]: So those are my five favorite Lionel songs.
18:41.662 --> 18:56.899
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I might actually be cool is if we take our list of songs and make playlists, yeah, just make some playlists for every single one of our artists that we talked about, that might be pretty fun.
18:57.260 --> 18:58.120
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's a good idea.
18:58.701 --> 19:02.045
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess you have both Spotify and Apple Music Accounts?
19:02.365 --> 19:02.545
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
19:03.126 --> 19:08.412
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so that might be better for you to, because you're going to be a better
19:08.898 --> 19:13.806
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, my people just put I think most I think more people probably have Spotify then then Apple music.
19:13.906 --> 19:21.497
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, so be not maybe we should just put those together and we'll just continue to do them and then we'll post about them.
19:22.038 --> 19:27.126
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to make a note that for those who aren't watching on video.
19:27.106 --> 19:40.263
[SPEAKER_00]: 50 for 50.net is going to be our website where all of the episodes will also be up as well as Mike's written reviews.
19:40.403 --> 19:42.128
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm going to ask some reviews, man.
19:42.108 --> 19:44.611
[SPEAKER_00]: all of the albums we talk about.
19:44.771 --> 19:53.960
[SPEAKER_00]: And so that will, that's obviously as people are listening, that is in existence, as of this recording, we're still setting that stuff up.
19:53.980 --> 19:57.124
[SPEAKER_00]: But once these are live, all of that stuff will be set up.
19:57.144 --> 20:02.429
[SPEAKER_00]: So you can always check out everything that we do at 50 for 50.net.
20:03.030 --> 20:04.651
[SPEAKER_00]: You all right, man.
20:05.512 --> 20:06.633
[SPEAKER_00]: That's going to be it from here.
20:06.734 --> 20:11.018
[SPEAKER_00]: So for Mike, I'm double GC when we see you,
00:10.325 --> 00:17.153
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, we are back with the top five for Lionel Richie and the Commodore's.
00:17.533 --> 00:18.535
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I forget the Commodore's.
00:18.815 --> 00:21.178
[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna talk about our top five Lionel Richie songs.
00:21.338 --> 00:24.361
[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna talk about our top five Commodore songs.
00:24.381 --> 00:26.143
[SPEAKER_00]: This is actually start with the Commodore's.
00:26.804 --> 00:28.306
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, they're on a curve ball here.
00:28.366 --> 00:33.632
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, let's start with the Commodore's, because I, you know, I think,
00:34.253 --> 00:42.944
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of the stuff on the, on the, the Commodore's best stuff is almost as memorable to me as Lionel's best stuff.
00:43.284 --> 01:02.067
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and you know, you and I talked about this a little bit, which is, you know, when we talked about the Lionel album, you know, what were my parents listening to in 1982, and I still cannot really answer that question, but I will say that I remember when we got cable.
01:02.553 --> 01:05.276
[SPEAKER_00]: And there was MTV in there was VH1.
01:05.857 --> 01:10.743
[SPEAKER_00]: One thing my dad did do was he would just sit there and watch MTV all night.
01:11.824 --> 01:15.028
[SPEAKER_00]: And he would record the videos of the songs that he liked.
01:15.950 --> 01:21.597
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we had multiple VHS tapes of just music videos.
01:22.077 --> 01:28.425
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I would like, you know, I would kind of just be curious and scroll through and see what some of these songs were.
01:28.675 --> 01:42.364
[SPEAKER_00]: And I very clearly remember the video to maybe my favorite Commodore song ever, which is, um, uh, lady you bring me up.
01:43.255 --> 01:57.554
[SPEAKER_00]: because of the video of them at the park and then all of a sudden, they're just playing soccer for something like that is such a clear memory for me and because of that memory, I've always really loved that song.
01:58.375 --> 02:08.008
[SPEAKER_00]: So that is definitely in my top five and that is all based on just being a little kid and finding this random video of these dudes just playing soccer.
02:08.469 --> 02:09.811
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm.
02:09.831 --> 02:11.473
[SPEAKER_01]: So, funny.
02:11.673 --> 02:15.659
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, what, what would you, I'll go, I'll, I'll, I'll do that.
02:16.019 --> 02:21.367
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I'll say that is one of my top five, I mean, I think Brick House is going to be in both of our top five.
02:21.407 --> 02:23.009
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm guessing it is not.
02:23.309 --> 02:24.070
[SPEAKER_00]: It is not.
02:24.251 --> 02:24.932
[SPEAKER_00]: It is not.
02:24.992 --> 02:26.754
[SPEAKER_00]: Man, you know what?
02:27.495 --> 02:37.309
[SPEAKER_01]: So, because of, you know, when I was born and, you know, sort of my introduction in music,
02:38.555 --> 02:42.921
[SPEAKER_01]: Brickhouse got a lot of play in my house when I was a little, absolutely.
02:43.662 --> 02:48.608
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think I've just kind of worn off of it.
02:49.209 --> 02:49.730
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm, interesting.
02:49.970 --> 02:51.172
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
02:51.212 --> 02:52.754
[SPEAKER_01]: To me, it's just like a party song.
02:53.154 --> 02:53.955
[SPEAKER_01]: It is 100% up.
02:54.016 --> 03:00.344
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you still people birthday parties, wedding dances, all that stuff, somebody's gonna play Brickhouse.
03:01.525 --> 03:03.027
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so I name two.
03:03.068 --> 03:05.270
[SPEAKER_00]: Why don't you name a couple when I'm here last time?
03:05.290 --> 03:06.452
[SPEAKER_01]: So actually,
03:07.175 --> 03:11.620
[SPEAKER_01]: wrote down my experiences this time around because I don't want to forget anything.
03:13.101 --> 03:27.257
[SPEAKER_01]: So my number five actually was lady you bring me up, which is just kind of a fun up tempo song and you don't really associate up tempo with Lionel Richie, but it's you know a good groove in song and I also remember that video.
03:28.678 --> 03:37.047
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember her name on top of my
03:37.027 --> 03:38.369
[SPEAKER_01]: And you can correct me if I'm wrong here.
03:38.389 --> 03:49.583
[SPEAKER_01]: You've probably seen the video more recently than I have, but there used to be Commodore's, so Commodore's in one of the first music groups or music artists out there had like a jeans line.
03:49.883 --> 03:51.084
[SPEAKER_01]: They were Commodore's jeans.
03:51.365 --> 03:52.366
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what Lionel said.
03:52.566 --> 04:04.401
[SPEAKER_00]: Lionel not only did Lionel say that, he said he gave Michael Jackson's, he said because Michael would just,
04:04.955 --> 04:07.899
[SPEAKER_00]: like where some stuff that didn't necessarily fit.
04:07.919 --> 04:12.264
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's like, no, Mike, here's some, I'm going to give you these jeans and, uh, so yeah.
04:13.626 --> 04:13.786
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
04:14.126 --> 04:25.140
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I had now have to rewatch the video after we're done talking, but I think there's, you know, some girls with their butts out wearing like Commodore things with Commodore is like the Commodore's logo stenciled on like the back pocket.
04:25.171 --> 04:27.913
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's pretty cool to have a jeans line.
04:28.334 --> 04:29.935
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, back in the early 80s.
04:30.015 --> 04:31.417
[SPEAKER_01]: Like nobody was doing that.
04:32.297 --> 04:35.640
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think there were Mick Jagger, Blue jeans or anything like that.
04:35.781 --> 04:37.022
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's pretty cool.
04:37.822 --> 04:41.506
[SPEAKER_01]: My next choice is actually from the same album that Brick House is on.
04:42.427 --> 04:50.013
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an album cut, but Lionel talks about this in his book and he calls it, you know, says people called the Black National Anthem.
04:50.194 --> 04:55.178
[SPEAKER_01]: It sounds called Zoom.
04:55.158 --> 05:01.447
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's kind of about like escaping life and being at peace in your heart and soul.
05:02.248 --> 05:08.277
[SPEAKER_01]: And that song has always felt very spiritual to me, so, you know, that made my top five.
05:09.899 --> 05:13.504
[SPEAKER_00]: So the other three songs in mind, kind of tell you,
05:14.767 --> 05:42.748
[SPEAKER_00]: why I like the Lionel stuff so much is because they were all the songs that I'm sure the commentators were like another one of these like just to be close to you easy and three times a lady now three times a lady is a little too much for me but like you were saying with the that's what friends are for a song in the previous episode where you just heard it and you were like why did it make me feel this way even though I don't really like this song like
05:43.994 --> 05:53.046
[SPEAKER_00]: As I was going back and listening to all these comedy or songs and all these Lionel songs, I just kept going back to that song, just thinking like, why do I like this song so much?
05:53.086 --> 06:02.378
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not really like a, I don't, I didn't find it to be like a great song, but there's just something that was just stuck in my brain the whole time.
06:02.898 --> 06:03.439
[SPEAKER_00]: Interesting.
06:04.000 --> 06:12.651
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, when I think of three times the lady, the first thing that pops into my head is Eddie.
06:14.065 --> 06:29.261
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but like it just shows you like the Decomodore stuff and it's probably because of what just became popular or what became a little bit more well known because I'm a little you know We both are you know young for that time frame.
06:29.281 --> 06:41.254
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yeah But those are the ones that stuck with me, but I will say I added one just as an aside because I was asking you about this
06:41.234 --> 06:50.044
[SPEAKER_00]: I really liked the song, Night Shift, and I didn't realize that Lionel wasn't even on that song because it was post- Lionel.
06:50.104 --> 06:52.186
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like their big hit post- Lionel.
06:52.486 --> 06:52.747
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
06:53.388 --> 06:54.329
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really interesting.
06:54.589 --> 07:04.660
[SPEAKER_01]: They, after Lionel left the group or whatever, however, that situation happened, they put out a greatest hits album.
07:04.640 --> 07:30.664
[SPEAKER_01]: And they had a couple of new songs on it with some other dude singing and then they put out another album with I think a completely different dude singing that didn't do very well and then they got this guy JD Nicholas who is a British singer who has a very, very, very strong facial resemblance to Lionel Richie and they put out night shift and night shift is a song that was
07:30.644 --> 07:40.676
[SPEAKER_01]: Composed about Jackie Wilson and Marvin Gaye, who had both passed away earlier in 1984, and it was a tribute song to them, and it became a huge hit.
07:40.796 --> 07:48.786
[SPEAKER_01]: Commodore's won a Grammy, the only time the Commodore's ever won a Grammy was for that song, with or without Lionel Richie.
07:49.407 --> 07:55.234
[SPEAKER_01]: So it just kind of became this big defining single for them, and then they never were able to really follow it up.
07:55.214 --> 08:07.147
[SPEAKER_01]: But another thing I find interesting is that at the same time night shift was a hit, there was a song called Missing You by Diana Ross, which was also a tribute to Marvin Gaye, which was written by Lionel Richie.
08:08.729 --> 08:09.089
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
08:10.771 --> 08:14.455
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that is, that is, I did not put those two together.
08:14.495 --> 08:15.657
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you just put that together.
08:15.857 --> 08:17.879
[SPEAKER_01]: That's those songs were hits at the same time.
08:18.280 --> 08:18.620
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
08:19.581 --> 08:21.323
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's a really interesting thing.
08:21.961 --> 08:35.953
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, what is your, how does the rest of your top five round out for the Commodore so to out of the three actually matched with your last three, I had just to be close to you at number three, which I don't know the
08:36.743 --> 08:52.545
[SPEAKER_01]: You hear the country come out of vinyl in that song because he's there's a little spoken word piece and he's like, oh, I thought my life had so much value right I never really had no value at all and I'm like, oh, man, this dude could have been like a preacher or something.
08:53.466 --> 08:59.494
[SPEAKER_01]: And my number one was easy, just because that's such a.
09:00.217 --> 09:02.019
[SPEAKER_01]: amazing song.
09:02.400 --> 09:13.953
[SPEAKER_01]: And in between those, I put Sailon and there is a passage in the book where Lionel details a conversation that he had with Chris Rock about Sailon.
09:15.575 --> 09:19.760
[SPEAKER_01]: And even before I read that passage in the book, it always struck me as interesting.
09:19.820 --> 09:22.984
[SPEAKER_01]: How Sailon is
09:22.964 --> 09:32.334
[SPEAKER_01]: song so sweetly and the lyrics are so beautiful, but basically in the lyrics of the song Lino's song is grown like fuck off.
09:35.116 --> 09:38.440
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm through with you, I'm giving you back your name.
09:39.301 --> 09:42.224
[SPEAKER_01]: Would you please just go away, like, get out of my life?
09:43.245 --> 09:51.553
[SPEAKER_01]: But the way it's sung, you don't even necessarily like hear that right away.
09:52.630 --> 10:18.958
[SPEAKER_01]: you know people like the way that people interpreted that song was because the line was a nice guy kind of so great yeah that's that's not a it's a it's not a nice sentiment or i mean they look people break up like it's not it's not a not nice sentiment but it's just not the typical like love song right right right and destiny's child covered that song in their first album oh gosh i need to go back and listen to that yeah
10:19.141 --> 10:47.612
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, now let's talk about our top five line all I have two songs in here that are actually fairly recent now for line all their fairly recent I mentioned one of them are ready I call it love it is really one of my favorite line all songs and another one and this will make you laugh stuck on you, but I really love the version with him.
10:48.250 --> 10:50.113
[SPEAKER_00]: and dearest rocker to go.
10:51.355 --> 10:57.707
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I, you know, I think I listen to that Tuskegee album once and never picked it back up.
10:58.027 --> 11:01.153
[SPEAKER_01]: It makes perfect sense for dearest rocker and Lionel, and Richard, you do songs together.
11:01.634 --> 11:03.016
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what it reminds me of.
11:03.697 --> 11:06.462
[SPEAKER_00]: A little bit is, uh,
11:06.442 --> 11:17.418
[SPEAKER_00]: And not that Carlos Santana sang on this song when when Michael and Carlos Santana for the invincible album, whatever happens at the end where they thank each other, right?
11:18.099 --> 11:21.644
[SPEAKER_00]: And so they do the Lionel and Dearest Rucker do that.
11:21.704 --> 11:31.078
[SPEAKER_00]: Like Dearest Rucker, he kind of he oversees a little bit on this song as he is want to do sometimes.
11:31.759 --> 11:32.280
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but
11:33.830 --> 11:49.662
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was like this is really nice a moment for him to do something with somebody who's like so iconic like Lionel and you know, I'm sure Darius had similar experiences.
11:49.642 --> 12:02.223
[SPEAKER_00]: in being a part of hoody in the blowfish right he did the one soul album but then he went country so I'm sure he dealt with a lot of the same things Lionel did and kind of accepting the kind of music that they both enjoyed making.
12:02.643 --> 12:08.753
[SPEAKER_01]: Unquestionably I don't think that there's a daryous rucker if there is not a Lionel richy so there's a real direct lineage there.
12:09.635 --> 12:15.244
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah so I really like that all and I'll just go through the rest of my five and then you can you can get to yours Of course
12:16.523 --> 12:22.813
[SPEAKER_00]: all night long again, really corny, but like, it is just iconic.
12:22.833 --> 12:30.064
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's just like one of those things where you hear the beginning of it and you're like, okay, I'm just, I'm here for the next four minutes.
12:30.124 --> 12:32.247
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I just have to.
12:32.467 --> 12:36.393
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I'm just hanging out with with Lionel in this moment.
12:37.155 --> 12:42.683
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, the other one, we we mentioned you are, uh, I think that's probably my favorite song.
12:43.051 --> 12:46.635
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, I think this has been a recent thing.
12:47.316 --> 13:02.815
[SPEAKER_00]: Like ever since I learned that Lionel wrote Balorina Girl for Nicole Richie, that song is just more meaningful to me because I'm like, man, you know, like their story is is so interesting.
13:03.075 --> 13:13.007
[SPEAKER_00]: Nicole Richie is the birth daughter of Sheila E's brother.
13:13.460 --> 13:31.063
[SPEAKER_00]: But that Chile's brother was going through some stuff with the birth mom and Lionel and Brenda noticed that the little daughter was maybe not looked after all that well and they asked if they could watch her and then they ended up adopting her.
13:31.043 --> 13:38.935
[SPEAKER_00]: you know, everyone kind of knows the Lionel Richie or the Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton story of the simple life and all of that.
13:38.975 --> 13:49.550
[SPEAKER_00]: But Nicole has battled through some things and is she come back around on the other side doing seemingly well from what I understand.
13:49.590 --> 13:58.924
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love that story and it just, I don't know, for whatever that song, like it just sticks
14:02.903 --> 14:06.087
[SPEAKER_01]: So ballerina girl is one of those Lionel Richie songs that I just did.
14:06.107 --> 14:12.135
[SPEAKER_01]: It's one of those corny ballers that I just can't like I get why people love it.
14:12.796 --> 14:19.864
[SPEAKER_01]: It just doesn't hit different for me and I'm just like, oh, this is like almost painfully corny.
14:21.146 --> 14:22.768
[SPEAKER_00]: It totally completely is.
14:23.008 --> 14:24.270
[SPEAKER_00]: It's such a
14:25.280 --> 14:27.963
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, it's a very syrupy song.
14:28.825 --> 14:28.925
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
14:28.945 --> 14:39.619
[SPEAKER_00]: And yet, it's probably, you know, I now've stepped out or like I can see the reason for that song, you know, so much more.
14:40.219 --> 14:45.827
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's, so yeah, it hangs with me a little bit longer a little bit more than it did when I was younger.
14:47.028 --> 14:55.219
[SPEAKER_01]: So all night long did not make my list, but I will say, all night long is the only line
14:56.482 --> 15:01.787
[SPEAKER_01]: I was, this was, my career, my preferred way to do karaoke is to get a private room.
15:02.388 --> 15:03.889
[SPEAKER_01]: This was not a private room situation.
15:03.909 --> 15:05.931
[SPEAKER_01]: This was, sing at the bar situation.
15:05.971 --> 15:07.993
[SPEAKER_01]: And there was a wedding party.
15:08.013 --> 15:10.996
[SPEAKER_01]: Or I think it may be like a bachelor at party that was there.
15:11.456 --> 15:14.660
[SPEAKER_01]: And they all came down and danced with me during all night long.
15:14.680 --> 15:19.805
[SPEAKER_01]: So one of my memorable moments has to do with that song.
15:21.426 --> 15:25.510
[SPEAKER_01]: So my top five, and I actually just made a change,
15:25.878 --> 15:37.494
[SPEAKER_01]: were say you say me, which was a one off single that Lionel would put out that was in a movie called White Nights that started Gregory Heinz in McHelberrish, and a cough wild.
15:38.135 --> 15:43.403
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, with crazy to think a movie like existed, but was a huge hit.
15:43.763 --> 15:46.587
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a very unusual song and kind of.
15:46.567 --> 15:49.891
[SPEAKER_01]: The first two thirds of it is like a typical Lamborghini ballad.
15:50.211 --> 15:54.716
[SPEAKER_01]: Then it goes up tempo for like 30 seconds and then goes back into the ballad.
15:55.137 --> 16:04.107
[SPEAKER_00]: He meant he mentioned that it was a little hard for them to sell it to radio because of the the change in the tempo.
16:04.588 --> 16:08.212
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was just like, like, no, I wish he had to do it alone.
16:08.272 --> 16:08.913
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it works.
16:08.953 --> 16:10.735
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, and coming with the do.
16:10.795 --> 16:11.916
[SPEAKER_00]: I know what I'm doing.
16:12.740 --> 16:28.514
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, uh, speaking of somewhat, uh, later Lionel Richie, uh, he went away for a number of years, uh, from like, uh, dancing on the ceiling came out in 1986, here at least a greatest installment, 92, and then didn't release another studio album to 96.
16:28.554 --> 16:36.241
[SPEAKER_01]: So 10 years between studio albums, kind of at the height of his success, he had to do some work on himself, uh, kudos to him for doing that.
16:36.682 --> 16:38.964
[SPEAKER_01]: But that come back album is called louder than words.
16:39.004 --> 16:42.747
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's actually a really good album.
16:42.727 --> 16:45.692
[SPEAKER_01]: which was, I believe, written by Babyface.
16:46.895 --> 16:53.727
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's just like, it's, after a while, all of Babyface is so kind of started to sound the same.
16:54.028 --> 16:58.035
[SPEAKER_01]: And it definitely sounds like a Babyface song, but Lionel puts like the right.
16:59.720 --> 17:00.481
[SPEAKER_01]: stamp on it.
17:01.063 --> 17:05.131
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's just a very like, you know, Lionel never oversees or anything like that.
17:05.191 --> 17:06.253
[SPEAKER_01]: He sticks to the melody.
17:06.393 --> 17:09.700
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just a great song, I think.
17:11.944 --> 17:16.092
[SPEAKER_01]: Level conquer all, which was the single before ballerina girl.
17:16.072 --> 17:37.607
[SPEAKER_01]: which has a little bit more tempo to it has a kind of a cool mellow vibe similar to you are actually which was at the top of my list I think we've talked about that song quite a bit this episode and my fifth choice was running with the night which I think part of the reason I love that song so much is because of the video.
17:38.178 --> 17:45.608
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and it's one of those early 80s videos that doesn't really make a ton of sense.
17:45.628 --> 17:56.423
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but there is dancing and that feels like there's a wedding that gets broken up in the video, something like that, and Sheila E plays Lionel Richie's love interest.
17:56.403 --> 17:57.084
[SPEAKER_01]: in the video.
17:57.404 --> 18:16.152
[SPEAKER_01]: So tying the dial, connecting the dials from Sheila E to Lionel to Nicole Richie, so on, and Sheila E also was on tour as Lionel's drummer when Prince kind of was like, oh, hey, check you out.
18:16.172 --> 18:17.854
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's make a record together.
18:17.834 --> 18:20.357
[SPEAKER_01]: and you know, they started hanging out.
18:21.058 --> 18:24.362
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but yeah, it's I just have such fun memories that video.
18:24.382 --> 18:29.908
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's a cool little like, um, we talk about the similarities between Michael and Lionel.
18:30.269 --> 18:38.739
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think a lot of the people that played on beat it played on running with the night just got to seem like a tar solo when, you know, that kind of thing.
18:38.839 --> 18:41.682
[SPEAKER_01]: So those are my five favorite Lionel songs.
18:41.662 --> 18:56.899
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I might actually be cool is if we take our list of songs and make playlists, yeah, just make some playlists for every single one of our artists that we talked about, that might be pretty fun.
18:57.260 --> 18:58.120
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's a good idea.
18:58.701 --> 19:02.045
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess you have both Spotify and Apple Music Accounts?
19:02.365 --> 19:02.545
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
19:03.126 --> 19:08.412
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so that might be better for you to, because you're going to be a better
19:08.898 --> 19:13.806
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, my people just put I think most I think more people probably have Spotify then then Apple music.
19:13.906 --> 19:21.497
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, so be not maybe we should just put those together and we'll just continue to do them and then we'll post about them.
19:22.038 --> 19:27.126
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to make a note that for those who aren't watching on video.
19:27.106 --> 19:40.263
[SPEAKER_00]: 50 for 50.net is going to be our website where all of the episodes will also be up as well as Mike's written reviews.
19:40.403 --> 19:42.128
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm going to ask some reviews, man.
19:42.108 --> 19:44.611
[SPEAKER_00]: all of the albums we talk about.
19:44.771 --> 19:53.960
[SPEAKER_00]: And so that will, that's obviously as people are listening, that is in existence, as of this recording, we're still setting that stuff up.
19:53.980 --> 19:57.124
[SPEAKER_00]: But once these are live, all of that stuff will be set up.
19:57.144 --> 20:02.429
[SPEAKER_00]: So you can always check out everything that we do at 50 for 50.net.
20:03.030 --> 20:04.651
[SPEAKER_00]: You all right, man.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's going to be it from here.
20:06.734 --> 20:11.018
[SPEAKER_00]: So for Mike, I'm double GC when we see you,
