Oh man,it's hard to pick just three songs,but here goes...
*** "Sail On" (1979)---dontcha just love the lyrics to this song? Lionel always had a "nice guy" image,but on this tune,he's fed up and he's not taking it anymore...lol...demanding his lover to "sail on...honey...good times never felt so good".I also love the down-south country feel of this song,which Lionel used to great effect on future classics like "Stuck On You" (arguably his best song as a solo artist). *** "Just To Be Close To You" (1976)---it's really important to have the full-length album version of this song,because it features a lengthy spoken segment that is just priceless.This is one of their most soulful slow jams ever. *** "Funky Situation" (1977)---This song is from the self-titled 1977 album which contains the hits "Brick House" and "Easy".But "Funky Situation" is my jam! It's a kickass track that lives up to it's name.Am I the only one who goes crazy over this song? | |

It's a shame that most of their 70s albums are out-of-print.I really,really need the 'Hot On The Tracks' album (1976),which is their second best album (1977's 'The Commodores' is their best work,imo). | |

It's a kickass track that lives up to it's name.Am I the only one who goes crazy over this song? I agree with you 100% about those first two songs and probably would with the 3rd if I knew it. Lionel was at his best doing his country thang. "...Gave ya all my moneyyy an' my tiiii-ime. I know it's a shame but I'm givin' ya back ya naaaaa-a-a-ame." 
That spoken segment and the musical build-up at the beginning of "Just To Be Close To You" make the song a classic. That and the serious country twang in it. "...Aww girl. Material thangs I thought had so much valya. Aww girl.." I loved Stuck on You for that same country flavor. "...packed up my troubles and I've thrown them all away.. ..Cause this time little darlin' ,I'm comin' home toooo stayyyy. " 
I guess I'm a country boy at heart.  |
