One of the band members wife was on tour with them and complained of stomach pains, when they got home a week later the doctors informed her she had stomach Cancer and gave her @2 months to live. The next few nights he wrote the song with his wife by his side. Then he took it to the group and Lionel Richie sang it. That song had a deep meaning for the Commodores

So glad you finally reacted to this beautiful song. It's one of my favorites by The Commodores. Even more so once I discovered the meaning behind it. Ronald LaPread actually began composing this song after his wife, Cathy, was diagnosed with cancer. And was given 2 months to live. She was the inspiration for the song and even helped him with the melody. Ronald couldn't finish it so Lionel helped. To get the full story as told by Ronald you should check out Chicken Soup For the Soul: The Story Behind the Song. It's really worth reading. Thanks again for your reaction!❤

To hear this song is bitter, sweet. My mother, God rest her soul loved this song. She took her own life when I was nine years old unfortunately. When I heard this song again as an adult and listening to the lyrics, I understood just how sad she really was. How much pain she was going through and how much she wanted to leave it behind.

Yes! I remember the last slow dance of the night, never wanting it to end!
Their best song by far. A classic song that means something. I listen to this song like it just came out.
Love this song. Definitely one of my favorite Commodores song.
This was when the lights dimmed at the house party! Listen to "Jesus is Love" You should check out some of they're faster stuff "Too Hot To Trot" and "Slippery When Wet" Lionel Richie by this time was the creative person behind the band. The songs were slower. Not a bad thing but different from where they started.
Real music by real musicians. Just vocals and instruments.
My fave Commodores song.
FINALLY! Zoom. My favorite Commodores song. I was a college student when this song came out. I would listen to this song to reduce my stress.
Amber is a FLOWER CHILD from the 60s..You guy's really feel these songs..I enjoy your reactions. ZOOM is a cool jam to play while driving anywhere. 😎👊🏽🎼🎶🎵
the production...Enough said!
Another one of their sounds is Gospel. "Jesus is Love."❤❤❤❤
I can't believe I've never heard this song before I love it!
I’d like to nominate “Sweet Love” for your next Commodores reaction.

I don't remember many Commodores songs, mostly solo Lionel Riche songs only. But this is a beautiful song. This has to be in the late '70s.

Yes. When they and Earth Wind and Fire were mostly relegated to "black radio." Some of their best music came before the studio made them more palatable to the masses.
And this wasn't even released as a single here in the U.S.!! Just goes to show you that they and Lionel Ritchie were so much more than just their singles! He has such a smooth voice and is in total control of it!! Amazing.

I was in high school when this album came out. Lionel had and still has a great voice.
The song is a masterpiece.
One of my favorite songs. So, so good!
My all-time favorite from them. Great vibe of a song but also sad in a way because he is singing of a world that doesn't exist, but he wants to Zoom away to a time or place where those themes are in place. Glad you got around to it. I have to suggest "Happy Feelings" by Maze.
CLASSIC...NUFF SAID!!
Always love the Commodores, that awesome spund!
You have to do "3 Times A Lady" I think its their most pooular song, and Lionel is fabulous in it. A beautiful love song. ❤🎼

It popular but not their best. They should review it though.
"Zoom" was a track from the 1977 "Commodores" LP, no charting stats for the title on either the Billboard Hot 100 or the R&B chart.
This is playing when the bbq has slowed down because everyone has eaten, the spade games have just started & the kids are waiting for the ice cream to finish churning!!!
ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS EVER!! ❤❤❤❤
Extremely happy for this reaction! "ZOOM" ..when you bought the album a huge poster included! Awesome!
Jay/Amber, you'll love their "Three Times A Lady"!!! I predict "Three Times A Lady" will be your favorite Commodores song!! (With Lionel!!) ALSO, you'll love Lionel's "Truly" and "Endless Love" (with Diana Ross) !!!!!

YASSS. Give this song to your kids … make them memorize it …. It will keep them inspired for life !
To me this is the greatest song they ever did, smooth as butter both vocals and song. Lionel conveyed the message of the lyrics perfectly. This is one of favorite songs of all time. "I wish the world were truly happy"
Great reaction 😃 this is my favorite song of the album. 🎶 I was in 10th grade when this came out, brings back awesome memories 🥲 thank you, the Commodores also are an awesome live band, great shows 😄 Thank you Peace! 🙏

I am so glad you did this song. After decades of hearing this song I still close my eyes and it takes me to a beautiful place in my mind. I think it's the best song the ever wrote. Thank you for listening to this masterpiece.
love the song too!! Lionel Richie is an icon❤
There are so many glorious, quintessential hits in the Commodores’ discography you must hear: Three Times A Lady, Just To Be Close To You and Still!
First time I ever heard the Commodores was this song zoom off their first album and the rest is remarkably great history! Had the opportunity to see them see them in person… Now that’s a happening because they are even better in person! Such fond memories with wonderful Great music😊

The Commodores are always such a vibe! Loooooove this! ❤❤❤
Thanks for that blast from the past. I remember seeing them perform this in concert in the 70’s at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh PA and all of these silver metallic balloons went flying up from the stage all over the stadium. Great Concert.
Lionel was like hot butter on toast on this song.
Lional Richie “YOU ARE” is a great one!
I love this song!! It’s a beautiful song! I love Lionel Richie’s voice! ❤❤
One of my favorites from them
My favorite song from them I was in highschool when this came out pure R and B 🔥🔥
Another gem by Lionel Ritchie worth a listen is called, "Oh no".
Lionel Ritchie, the greatest writer of love song in the R&B/R&R era. This is my favorite down tempo song Lionel wrote while he was still with The Commodores. This song is well known by pretty much every black woman of a certain age. Next please do "Still", "Truly", "Penny Lover", Ballerina Girl", and "Three Times A Lady".
Grown-people music, one of my personal favorite songs, an classic Commodores hit. I'm glad you two can appreciate what the song brings to one mind.
Go Commodores!

Best Commodores song ever. To come up with a song title "Zoom" and put so many emotions on a plate. Beautiful.
Its funny cause I played the commodores a couple days ago. They music it so smooth and sophisticated
Yall hit the motherlode with this one. My family always played this song in the house when I was a child and I immediately latched onto it. The songwriting, arrangement and Lionel Richie are perfection! This is one of the best and I still play it at the cookout!
If you are interested in more songs along the lines of “A Boy Named Sue” or “The Cover of The Rolling Stone”, I’d like to suggest the song “Uneasy Rider” by The Charlie Daniels Band, if you liked “The Devil Went Down To Georgia” you will probably enjoy “Uneasy Rider” too! Have a wonderful evening everyone! 😀👍🏻 PS. I wanted to add another song that I think that you’d get a kick out of and I believe that you would love all the instruments and country flavor of this song, “Milkshake” by The Cleverlys, performed live at Pucketts. That video is available on KZread. Just look for The Cleverlys, Milkshake, live at Pucketts. I promise that it’s worth a watch and listen even if you don’t choose to react to it. 👍🏻

Loving You by The Commodores is another soulful song like this one
1977 senior high school, So Cal, driving home 2am on a Sun morning, cruisin' low n slow. Memories...
I love watching you guys, especially at the beginning of a song, knowing what's coming. Thinking to myself, "They have no idea what they're in for". This one of those songs. From the name, to the introduction, you are lulled.. and then Zoom!!
I was a DJ in the 70’s when disco was huge. Towards the end of the night I would always play this song. The dance floor would be full of couples chilling out and just winding down in each others arms..
OMG! Love this song. I have seen the Commodores Live three times. I had all their music. Zoom always been my favorite. My Mother loved this song. She loved Lionel Richie's voice. She passed away on Dec 23, 2006 of bone cancer. This song makes me emotional. Love It though.
Hey guys, such a timeless band, so good. Old school is always a gem. Try "Just To Be Close To You" sometime.
"Sweet Love", "Still", "This is Your Life", Just to Be Close" just to name a few other songs by The Commodores. 💛
More Lionel, please. "Love Will Find A Way"❤
This is one of my favorites from The Commodores! Such a smooth track. Fergie actually did a sample of this song on her Duchess Album called "All that I've Got" back in 2006. It's also another great song paying homage to this original. I highly recommend everyone to give it a listen.

I was going to make the same comment. While I love The Commodores. Of the two R&B songs named Zoom of that era, I by far love Fat Larry's Bands song Zoom. So catchy and such powerful vocals.
My favorite Commodores song!!!
Easy and Night Shift are a couple of good ones by this group. And the "doodle doodle doo" sound is a comb of strings and flute.
This a drive down the road with the top down kinda groove. So glad I got see them live in concert back in the day.
The Commodores during this era, the late 70s were one of my favorite, if not my favorite group.. Brick House, Zoom, Easy, Sail On, Just to be Close to You…Part of the soundtrack of my childhood..and yes, that is Lionel singing lead
One of my favorite jams to slow drag to with that special someone back in the day! Everyone was on the dance floor when the DJ played this Commodore’s classic!
Might I recommend a fun lineup for tomorrow's FF? "Do You Wanna Hold Me" by Bow Wow Wow, "Crash" by The Privatives, and "Hear" by Moonpools & Caterpillars.
This song will always be special to me. When I was probably still in a car seat I remember my mother and her bf singing the zoom part with me. You know how kids love little novelty stuff like that in songs. This was the time of Michael Jackson Off The Wall. R&b music was on one. Please react to Can't Hide Love by Earth Wind and Fire, or Heartbreak Hotel by Jacksons or Don't Disturb This Groove by The System. Love the channel!
My absolute favourite of theirs is Nightshift. I worked at night for years and that was my theme song! I still think it’s their best.
