History
The Commodores are an American funk and soul group formed in 1968 by students at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, merging two campus bands, the Mystics and the Jays. Founding member William King reportedly picked the group's name by flipping open a dictionary — he later joked they nearly became "The Commodes." Signed to Motown in 1972, the group built a reputation on hard funk ("Machine Gun," "Brick House") before shifting toward smooth soul ballads once co-founder Lionel Richie stepped forward as lead vocalist, driving hits like "Easy," "Three Times a Lady," and "Still." Richie left for a solo career in 1982. Remarkably, the band's only Grammy Award came afterward, for 1985's "Nightshift," a tribute to Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson. The Commodores have sold over 70 million albums worldwide and were inducted into both the Alabama Music Hall of Fame and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame. William King remains the sole original member still touring with the group today.
