IS LI0ONEL RICHIE GOOD FUNK KEYBOARD PLAYER

I SAW YOUTUBE VIDEO OF MACHINE GUN LIVE 1974 AND LIONEL WAS PLAYING THOSE FUNKY SYNTH SOLOS WHILE MILAN ADDED BACKUP.
SO HOW GOOD KEYBOARD PLAYER LIONEL IS?

It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Actually, I don't know how big a role as a keyboardist Lionel had in the Commodores. I've also seen the clip where he plays Machine Gun on Soul Train, but I'm not entirely sure if he actually plays it on the record. I suspect he did do some keyboard work for the Commodores, but most of it is done by Milan Williams. If I remember correctly, Milan also wrote 'Machine Gun'. Lionel also plays sax, and I'm sure he's played it on some of the Commodores records.
