It's a classic but these days,I'm sick of it lol We have an oldies R&B station that acts as if this was their only major hit.

But back in the spring of 1977,this song was da jam! headbang Their 1977 self-titled album (which features this song) is their best work.

I heard Rick James wrote this song when he was a staff writer at Motown. It sure sounds like Rick.

I have the album, and it's credited to all 6 members of The Commodores. It's the only song on the record to be credited to the whole group.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Yeah, pretty much all the awesomeness is gone from this song now for me too.

I have to admit it does make me want to measure myself and see if I qualify though. lol
