2 legends lost
RIP to one of the greatest musicians ever

This is why The Commodores broke up. I was reading an interview with Ronald LePread (bassist), and he was saying that him bringing one or two of those type of songs was cool, but then, Lionel started bringing too many of those songs to the band, and they were like "We're a funk/soul band. Why are you brining us these songs?", and he said Lionel didn't want to do that type of music anymore. He wanted to appeal to another audience.

the very definition of sellout

I liked some of his post-Commodores stuff, mostly the slow jams. All Night Long was corny as fuck.

That damn terrible fake attempt at a Jamaican accent...."Well my friends thee time has come". I despise that song.
