The foundation of the group was the merger of two bands, each formed by freshmen studying at the Tuskegee Institute at the time: The Mystics, consisting of Lionel Richie, Thomas McClary, and William A. And even though Movin’ On is an LP that R&B purists rave about (rightly so), you can’t say that it was ignored by pop audiences - “Sweet Love” was a number two R&B hit, but it also reached number five on Billboard’s pop singles chart. Commodores is an American Funk, Jazz, and R&B band founded in 1968. Those who love hard, gutsy 1970s funk can’t go wrong with horn-powered gems like “Mary, Mary,” “(Can I) Get a Witness,” “Gimme My Mule,” and “Hold On” however, the song that Movin’ On is best remembered for is the laid-back, gospel-drenched hit “Sweet Love.” Written by Richie, “Sweet Love” is one of those secular soul tunes that isn’t really gospel but borders on it when Richie belts out the lyrics, “You got to keep on searching/harder/day by day,” you feel like you’re in the front row during an AME church service. From an R&B standpoint (as opposed to a pop or adult contemporary standpoint), this is one of their most essential releases. Of course, Lionel Richie never claimed to be an R&B purist, although it is safe to say that the Commodores were still a hardcore funk/soul band when their third album, Movin’ On, came out in 1975. It was in 1977 that they crossed over to the pop/adult contemporary audience in a major way with “Easy,” and subsequent hits like 1978’s “Three Times a Lady” and 1979’s “Still” (both of which reached number one on Billboard’s pop singles charts) certainly weren’t the work of R&B snobs. R&B purists have often argued that the Commodores did their most essential work before 1977.
