Commodores - Nightshift (2015) [Hi-Res]

'With strong production by Dennis Lambert, the Marvin Gaye-tribute title track was the band's only hit after Lionel Richie left the group.' (Rick A. Bueche, AMG)

„The Commodores made one final stab at regaining R&B glory when Lionel Richie and producer/arranger James Anthony Carmichael both left in the mid-'80s. J.D. Nicholas became their lead singer, and Dennis Lambert assumed production duties. They rebounded temporarily, when 'Nightshift' leaped out of an otherwise ordinary album to become a Grammy-winning R&B and pop smash. It stayed atop the R&B charts for a month, and peaked at #3 on the pop chart. Unfortunately, it was also the end for Thomas McClary, who left the group once the album had run its course. It was their next-to-last hit, and basically the end for the band, although they continued for a couple more years.“ (Ron Wynn)
