Such a great song, and maybe one of the most-played songs on Easy Listening radio in the late 70s. For more great Lionel-led songs, try "Three Times a Lady", "Still", "Oh No", or "Old Fashion Love". You also might consider doing "Nightshift", their tribute to the legend and legacy of Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson (which they recorded after Lionel left the group to go solo). OR.... if you want to get more into Lionel's solo stuff (you've only done "Hello" so far), you can do "Endless Love" (a truly magnficient duet with Diana Ross), "Truly", "You Are", "My Love", "All Night Long", or "Say You, Say Me". Thanks for reacting!
Can A song be perfect? "Easy" comes as close as any song I've ever heard. Just a beautiful ballad by Lionel and the Commodores. "Still" , "Sail On" and who can forget "Three Times a Lady" are time stamped into my memory for eternity and made Lionel a legend.
This song will forever remind me of what it was like to sit in the back of My father's old car in the 70's listening to the radio and not wanting to get out until the whole song was over.
"Three Times a Lady" is THE Commodores/Lionel Richie masterpiece. White radio, black radio, disco radio, pop radio, even country radio - you name it - that song was inescapable in summer 1978. Be sure to listen to the long (studio) version of the song, it carries so much more emotional resonance.
"Zoom" is my favorite Commodores song. Written by Lionel and bass player Ronald LaPread in memory of Ron's wife who passed away after a long battle with cancer. It's not a sad song. It's an optimistic song of hope.
That's guitar solo is (at least partially) the sound you get when running the guitar directly into the recording console and cranking up the gain knob, so it gets crunchy and has lots of high end (as opposed to the usual method of recording the guitarists amp with a microphone). This track might actually be a blend of the direct to console signal with a mic'd amp (maybe running through a fuzz pedal too).
That album was a requirement for every road trip! If the cassette or 8-track was getting a bit worn, we had to get a new copy before vacation! That, and Gladys Knight and the Pips - Imagination. Yup, my childhood was good!!!
As hard as it is for me to imagine you never having heard it before, I recommend "Endless Love" as others have. Lionel Richie and Diana Ross produced one of the greatest, if not the greatest, pop music duets of all time. Great music for a reaction and a song that I think is going to remain significant and remembered for many decades to come.
Amber and Jay, you just can't go wrong with the Commodores! So many hits and great memories. Another one I'd recommend is "Zoom". It holds a special meaning for The Commodores. It was written by Ronald LaPread and Lionel Richie. Ronald LaPread's wife, Cathy, had cancer and he began composing it and she gave him some ideas for the melody and Lionel put the words to it. Cathy passed away before the song was released. I think you'll really enjoy it when you know the meaning behind it.
I saw them in concert in shreveport la. They were fantastic. Try brick house for a upbeat blast. When he sang easy he played a white baby grand with smoke coming from the stage
Big thumbs up. I love the Commodores music. Their hits, like this one, were hits for a reason. Still, just about every song they produced is gold to me. I was introduced to their music as a kid shortly before Richie went solo, but the music they produced has a timeless quality and I've always enjoyed listening to their music and letting it carry me to a better place.
HEY, you two. These men were so darn GOOD. I do not want to argue. But this is Lionel;'s song. Please note that Lionel wrote Lady, then gave it to Kenny Rodgers. What can I say other than the man is a MASTER of his craft. These guys could construct a beautiful song with intricate arrangements.
So my dad has an old record player and speakers that all’s at Easy like Sunday Morning. When I asked him why he told me that while he was in the army in 70s, that was the nickname he was given while in Germany, so this song will always think of him! In a strange twist, my father gave me a name (my real name) that actually translates in English to “easy/ easy-going” so I’m kind of named after him and this song! Great reaction as always guys!!
Easy as Sunday Morning, it's a great pick up line on Saturday Nite. This was all ways one of the last songs of the nite at the dance clubs. Everybody likes slow dancing music. This was a huge hit for them. They were super versital, their music was everywhere, kkinda miss that. Thanks again.
"Easy" peaked @ #4 on the Billboard Pop chart & #1 on the R&B chart (1 week) in 1977. It was their 7th single to chart Pop Hot 100 and the 3rd to reach the Top 10. Over their career, The Commodores will chart 25 singles on the Pop chart, reaching the Top 10 ten times including 2 #1s between 1974 - 1986. On the R&B chart, the Commodores place 29 singles, 16 in the Top 10 including 7 #1s between 1974 - 1988.
I was in the concert choir in high school and we use to jam this one out a lot. Sounds awesome with a full choir. I'm also a guitarist and this is probably the first solo I learned on my own on guitar. It's also the only song I know how to play on the piano.
The Commodores have it all.Excellent writing,Vocals ,Great musicians.Lionel is such a wonderful vocalist and that piano,brilliant."Zoom" and "Sweet Love", two of my favorites. Check out "Running with the Night".
Do check out the Commodores' "Just to Be Close to You," and "This is Your Life," and on the funky side, "Slippery When Wet," "I Feel Sanctified," and "Brick House." Also, the Commodores after Lionel Richie left to go solo, "Night Shift," their tribute to Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson.
I can't listen to this song, even at work, the grocery store.. wherever.. without letting out an "oooooh!" at 4:36: even if it makes people stop and look at me, I don't care.. It's my favorite part of the song.
I've lived in Alabama my whole life and been a country musician my whole life and Easy is one of my all time favorite songs. Lionel was born and raised in Tuskegee and the Commodores were formed at Tuskegee Institute. They were basically a funk band but Lionel took them in more of a pop/country direction. Songs like Sail On, Stuck On You, Deep River Woman I always thought were country songs. I always thought Lionel should do a country album which he finally did about 15 years ago. On that album he did a very cool version of Easy with Willie Nelson. The horns, the guitar solo and of course Lionel's piano and vocal....Easy is definitely in this country boy's top 5 all-time favorite songs.
HEY ALABAMA. I lived, grew up there. In LA as they say lower Alabama. Lol. My son was 10 years old, saved his allowance and bought the album. Didn't last, he's into heavy metal. However 'he's an excellent lead guitar & A CHRISTIAN. THANK YOU JESUS
Always fantastic song. The Commodores were a huge hit growing up and regularly played in the house. I would recommend, listening to some of more fabulous songs, "Zoom," and" Sweet Love", you will absolutely enjoy them.
This is an amazing, perfect song. So good! Nothing has changed, BTW. "Everybody wants me to be what they want me to be. I want to be free to know the things I do are right. I want to be free, just me."
I recall reading in an interview that Easy was their first attempt at crossing over. The slide guitar was a dead give away. I couldn’t tell at the time because it was a massive hit on soul stations. It has become my favorite over time.
5:00 the guitar sound is from a type of guitar effect known as a "fuzz pedal". Electric guitarists can put electronic devices between the guitar and the amplifier to modify the signal in different ways, called "pedals" or "stomp boxes". There's dozens of different kinds of effects you can put in your signal chain, like chorus, echo, phaser, overdrive, Wah, compression, etc. This one is a classic "fuzz pedal" though.
Did you know Lionel wasn't the original lead singer? The original lead was the drummer, Walter Orange, who you've already heard on "Brick House" -- he also did a great lead on their post-Lionel ballad "Only You." He and Lionel shared lead on the next song you should react to, "Just to Be Close to You." Play the long version and you get to hear Lionel preach!
I remember dancing to this when I was a teenager. That moment when you realize who you are. He is so successful in conveying his message. I love him so much 💗
"Easy" !!! My favorite song from them. You could say easily my #1. I love the simplistic sounds of all the instruments. So artistic and doesn't rely on "gymnastics" for lack of a better word.
I love the Commodores and this is one of my favorite songs by them! Lionel Richie doesn’t get enough credit for his amazing songwriting and musical genius!❤️❤️
I love this song! Lionel Ritchie is the man. The whole band are great too. Faith No More did an excellent cover of this song. I see that many people have suggested other Commodore greats in the comments so I would like to suggest a couple of Lionel's songs that I haven't seen suggested: Running With The Night and Say You, Say Me which has some very inspirational lyrics.
This song made me a fan of The Commodores when it came out (I was four) and it's still an amazing song. Definitely check out: "Three Times A Lady", "Still ", "Zoom", "Oh No", and "Just To Be Close To You".
What a great song!! You can't help but want to get into your favourite chair, grab a chilled drink and just float on air!!! Check out more of his solo stuff like 'Dancing on the ceiling'
I think of "Not once...Not twice, but three times a lady", when they do their introduction to their videos. When I think of that song, I think of Newman singing it.
They had a lot of similar type of laid back, smooth songs like this in the 70s: Easy, Three Times a Lady, Sail On, Just to be Close To You . . . All great songs. If you react to Three Times a Lady, look for the longer version. It has more depth to it.
I really like the song "Oh No" that Lionel did back in the early eighties. I don't think it's as very well known as the others and I think it was whenever he started his solo career, I'm not sure if the commodores are backing him or not, But this is always been a favorite of mine that he did, If you can ever get around to that would be awesome 🙂
The guitarist is Thomas McClary. The sound he gets during the solo is a combination of a compression and fuzz pedal mixed through a oscillator. If you watch closely, you can see him stomp the pedal when the solo is over.
Awesome reaction!, I was lucky enough to see the Commodores live, back in the day, they where Awesome!. Heard them play this song ( fantastic performance! ). The crowd went nuts when they played "Zoom", I recommend "Zoom" for your next Commodore reaction, ( if there's any ). Thank you, Peace!
Jay and Amber another GREAT song by Lionel Richie is “Say You, Say Me”, from the movie “White Nights”. The movie is amazing too!!! This song won an Academy Award in 1986. Hope you guys react to this beautiful song!!! You will ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ it!!!!!
I think this is my favorite song by The Commodores, followed by “Nightshift” and then Lionel Richie on “Say You, Say Me.” I wouldn’t want to relive the 80s completely, but songs like these have that nostalgic feeling that makes me wish I could go back and relive a day or two here and there.
"Still" is awesome. "Oh No" was brutal in it's sincerity. Many people forget that tune and it was hugely popular. Thanks to the movie "Last American Virgin" for making it aware to everybody!
OMG, that "friend" of his was horrible! Also, what was Karen thinking? Kinda makes you mad at the end. LOL! Both of those songs are awesome, and I hope they listen to the FULL version of "Still." The radio edit ruins it. Yeah, "Just Once" by James Ingram was one of my requests. That song is amazing as well!!!
This was one of the well-played albums in my collection as a 12 year-old. The album this song is from called "Commodores" also had the songs "Brick House" and "Zoom", which are great as well. I adored the Commodores so much.
@@kellyreiterman I'm the kid in the family everyone dumped their 50s, 60s, and 70s records on in the 80s and 90s. I love all my uncles, aunts, and cousins who gave me their music. Including the 8-tracks. It enriched my childhood in a way I've only really been able to appreciate fully as an adult.
@@merlball8520 Never let those records go! Thankfully, I have all my my parents' 45s from the 1950s. There are a good number of them in these little 45 album books with my mother's handwriting listing each song and artist. Now that both of my parents have passed, these mean even more to have.
Lionel Ritchie is a legend, he really is, SO many hits, within The Commodores and as a solo artist...what a writer, too!
One of the best ever !!! While with the commodore this was my favorite, Brick House was also very good, made you want to dance !!!
He is so legendary that people misspell Richie.
Yes I agree 👍💯
THIS is why the 70s RULE Its the music ,,
He's a genius. As I've said before, the man THINKS in the language of music.
I loved this song back in the day . Lionel and the Commodors had it going on.
One of my absolute favorite Commodores songs
Such a great song, and maybe one of the most-played songs on Easy Listening radio in the late 70s. For more great Lionel-led songs, try "Three Times a Lady", "Still", "Oh No", or "Old Fashion Love". You also might consider doing "Nightshift", their tribute to the legend and legacy of Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson (which they recorded after Lionel left the group to go solo).

Thanks for reacting!
I concur with Patrick's list. Excellent suggestions
"Fee Tines A Mady"
@@bobriemersma I was going to wait until they did that song before I made the Buckwheat reference. But you beat me to it. :)
@@bobriemersma 😁
Oh man, forgot about Still. Soooooo good.
Can A song be perfect? "Easy" comes as close as any song I've ever heard. Just a beautiful ballad by Lionel and the Commodores. "Still" , "Sail On" and who can forget "Three Times a Lady" are time stamped into my memory for eternity and made Lionel a legend.
My Love is my all time favorite….
I’ve never really thought about that but you’re right it’s as close to perfect as a song can be
His voice is like a wonderful glass of Merlot, deep, rich and full of character and gets better with aging!
"Just to be close to you", another great song of the Commodores.
I saw The Commodores many times in concert. This song was always a highlight.
Check out "Night Shift" it was one of their hits after Lionel left the commodores. Awesome video, really shows the depth of the groups talent.
I dearly LOVE Night Shift!
Omg. I love Night Shift so much
It's been suggested a few times
A tribute to both Marvin Gaye & Jackie Wilson.
Like that one a lot.
I'm 64, and have loved this song since it came out. One of the best slow dance songs ever.
This song will forever remind me of what it was like to sit in the back of My father's old car in the 70's listening to the radio and not wanting to get out until the whole song was over.
@5:15 on your reel, that guitar sound is made by a “Fuzz” pedal. A piece of gear a guitarist uses to make that sizzle sound.
"Three Times a Lady" is THE Commodores/Lionel Richie masterpiece. White radio, black radio, disco radio, pop radio, even country radio - you name it - that song was inescapable in summer 1978. Be sure to listen to the long (studio) version of the song, it carries so much more emotional resonance.
RERLEAED IN 1977
One of the smoothest groups of any age. Thanks for reacting to this one. Keep on keepin' on. BCNU...
All time classic soul ballad. Lionel’s rich, mellow voice is perfect for this song, and that guitar solo is fire.
This might be my favorite song. I would listen to this non stop on Sundays in the summer. So many fine memories with this song
I always loved it that they were an actually a full band and not just a singing group.
I LOVE Lionel Richie! He doesn't have any bad songs! All of his songs are awesome! Thank you for playing his songs!
"Easy like Sunday morning ." Laid back chilled kind of emotion you get with this song.Just like Sundays.
"Zoom" is my favorite Commodores song. Written by Lionel and bass player Ronald LaPread in memory of Ron's wife who passed away after a long battle with cancer. It's not a sad song. It's an optimistic song of hope.
Didn't fat Larry band do a song called zoom also. Or was it a cover of this song??
@@ajakuk1 Yes. They did a song called Zoom, but it definitely wasn't a remake of the Commodores song.
Yes, "Zoom" is also one of my faves.
That's guitar solo is (at least partially) the sound you get when running the guitar directly into the recording console and cranking up the gain knob, so it gets crunchy and has lots of high end (as opposed to the usual method of recording the guitarists amp with a microphone). This track might actually be a blend of the direct to console signal with a mic'd amp (maybe running through a fuzz pedal too).
My all time favorite group of my youth. I'm loving your channel.

Beautiful song. One of those songs that come out and remain pinging around. A classic.
Zoom is another favourite! Had their album in the 70's.
As hard as it is for me to imagine you never having heard it before, I recommend "Endless Love" as others have. Lionel Richie and Diana Ross produced one of the greatest, if not the greatest, pop music duets of all time. Great music for a reaction and a song that I think is going to remain significant and remembered for many decades to come.
Yes…a must listen for them.. The quintessential love song ❤️
Yyyeeesss!!!!
That whole album….cassette tape in my day…..was mind blowing & I always had it playing on my big ‘ol boombox ……..back when I had hair😆
My absolute favourite of all Lionel Ritchie's songs. I always stop and close my eyes when listening.
I just realized that my whole life is wrapped in great music.
Amber and Jay, you just can't go wrong with the Commodores! So many hits and great memories. Another one I'd recommend is "Zoom". It holds a special meaning for The Commodores. It was written by Ronald LaPread and Lionel Richie. Ronald LaPread's wife, Cathy, had cancer and he began composing it and she gave him some ideas for the melody and Lionel put the words to it. Cathy passed away before the song was released. I think you'll really enjoy it when you know the meaning behind it.
One of the most beautiful classics of all time. I never tire of listening to it.❤❤❤❤❤
Ritchie did a killer duet with Diana Ross “Endless Love”.
I can't think of a single pop music duet that's better. "Endless Love" was a distinctly special recording in pop music history.
I remember I was in first grade when I bought the 45 single and it went to No 1 on American Top 40!
Great suggestion This is really great.
This is a song, I can imagine listening on a front porch with your eyes closed...Such a smooth easy listening song...Sing it Lionel!!!
I've seen Lionel twice in concert and his energy and tone is amazing for his age - he had everyone on their feet dancing the whole time!
Lionel is incomparable. This is such a soothing beautiful song. He’s so controlled and soft but gives so damn much! It’s masterful! ♥️
How could you not love this song. So laid back. I love it.
I saw them in concert in shreveport la. They were fantastic. Try brick house for a upbeat blast. When he sang easy he played a white baby grand with smoke coming from the stage
Big thumbs up. I love the Commodores music. Their hits, like this one, were hits for a reason. Still, just about every song they produced is gold to me. I was introduced to their music as a kid shortly before Richie went solo, but the music they produced has a timeless quality and I've always enjoyed listening to their music and letting it carry me to a better place.
Wonderful guitar solo. Great song, great band.
This is a great song! They had so many hits reminds me of my middle school & high school days! Love y’all. Okc, ok
HEY, you two. These men were so darn GOOD. I do not want to argue. But this is Lionel;'s song. Please note that Lionel wrote Lady, then gave it to Kenny Rodgers. What can I say other than the man is a MASTER of his craft. These guys could construct a beautiful song with intricate arrangements.
Definitely one of the best songs. I could listen to Lionel's voice literally All..Night..Long ;-)
😄
I saw what you did there.😉
I LOVE the Commodores!
So many amazing songs!!
So my dad has an old record player and speakers that all’s at Easy like Sunday Morning. When I asked him why he told me that while he was in the army in 70s, that was the nickname he was given while in Germany, so this song will always think of him!
In a strange twist, my father gave me a name (my real name) that actually translates in English to “easy/ easy-going” so I’m kind of named after him and this song! Great reaction as always guys!!
Easy as Sunday Morning, it's a great pick up line on Saturday Nite. This was all ways one of the last songs of the nite at the dance clubs. Everybody likes slow dancing music. This was a huge hit for them. They were super versital, their music was everywhere, kkinda miss that. Thanks again.

Check out "Running with the Night".
Do check out the Commodores' "Just to Be Close to You," and "This is Your Life," and on the funky side, "Slippery When Wet," "I Feel Sanctified," and "Brick House." Also, the Commodores after Lionel Richie left to go solo, "Night Shift," their tribute to Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson.
This is one of my favorite by the Commodores.
One of my favorites from them. The guitar solo is just fire!! You can hear the soul and how the guitar is pouring it's soul. Classic.
Brings lots of great memories of slow dancing in the club!!
I can't listen to this song, even at work, the grocery store.. wherever.. without letting out an "oooooh!" at 4:36: even if it makes people stop and look at me, I don't care.. It's my favorite part of the song.
I've lived in Alabama my whole life and been a country musician my whole life and Easy is one of my all time favorite songs.

Commodores has a song called "Captain Quickdraw", which was based on the CB radio/trucker craze during the 1970s.
That one is unlike anything else they’ve done. I’d even say strange, but kinda catchy.
I can listen to Lionel sing all day long, my dad was a big fan of Lionel Richie and the commodores so we heard him all the time.
Love the Commodores. Try "Sweet Love" just a beautiful song in every way!
Saw them twice in the 70’s, fantastic band, love em ❤️. Great video guys, love you too.
You GOTTA check out Faith No More's cover of this song. You'll freaking love it!
They really did do a great job on their cover. It was a bold choice for them (imo), but they absolutely nailed it.
@@laraismyname821 Yes they did!
No disrespect at all to this original but the FNM version is honestly my favourite, it's stunning.
Was hearing FNM's version in my head all through this one... the two could duet together.
Absolutely! Now that they've heard the original they can appreciate more what FNM did with it. 🙂
Love the Commodores all their music is so good! ✌❤🎶
All their stuff was great!
"Easy" !!! My favorite song from them. You could say easily my #1. I love the simplistic sounds of all the instruments. So artistic and doesn't rely on "gymnastics" for lack of a better word.

This song made me a fan of The Commodores when it came out (I was four) and it's still an amazing song. Definitely check out: "Three Times A Lady", "Still ", "Zoom", "Oh No", and "Just To Be Close To You".
"Just To Be Close To You"...one of their first, if not the FIRST ballad hit they had. It foreshadowed all the great ballads to come later.
What a great song!!
You can't help but want to get into your favourite chair, grab a chilled drink and just float on air!!!
Check out more of his solo stuff like 'Dancing on the ceiling'
You guys will love "Just to be Close to You" by the Commodores. I grew up with this music -- love it so much❣❣❣
"Still" is really good.
This was my mom’s favorite Commodores song. I have great memories of my parents slow dancing to this song. ❤️
Three Times a Lady! Fits perfectly behind Easy. Thanks for your reaction to this.
I think of "Not once...Not twice, but three times a lady", when they do their introduction to their videos.
When I think of that song, I think of Newman singing it.
The Commodores are a must in every collection !!!!
They had a lot of similar type of laid back, smooth songs like this in the 70s: Easy, Three Times a Lady, Sail On, Just to be Close To You . . . All great songs. If you react to Three Times a Lady, look for the longer version. It has more depth to it.
And Sweet Love
Sail on.... AWESOME!!!
Yelp and one of my favorites is Sweet Love by the Commodores so many memories with all their great music!
Very cool song that entire album was fire ❤
I really like the song "Oh No" that Lionel did back in the early eighties. I don't think it's as very well known as the others and I think it was whenever he started his solo career, I'm not sure if the commodores are backing him or not, But this is always been a favorite of mine that he did, If you can ever get around to that would be awesome 🙂

Jay and Amber another GREAT song by Lionel Richie is “Say You, Say Me”, from the movie “White Nights”. The movie is amazing too!!! This song won an Academy Award in 1986. Hope you guys react to this beautiful song!!! You will ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ it!!!!!
Yes I agree 👍💯
Except for the middle when it gets fast for absolutely no reason. Completely ruins the song
Yes! And that was also such a good movie
Wow 🤩 what a great video, beautiful memories, all the music from “The Commodores” is awesome 👏🏻🎼❤️
Their best funk song is "Slippery When Wet" the live version! Their most popular song with true r&b fans is "Zoom"
I can listen to 2 ppl sing all day. One is Lionel Ritchie and the other is Sam Cooke. The Commodores are as J said....Soothing. Thx for the pick
Great song! "Three Times A Lady" is another smooth hit. Lionel's "Truly" is amazing. You might consider "Suddenly" by Billy Ocean as well.
I think this is my favorite song by The Commodores, followed by “Nightshift” and then Lionel Richie on “Say You, Say Me.” I wouldn’t want to relive the 80s completely, but songs like these have that nostalgic feeling that makes me wish I could go back and relive a day or two here and there.
"Still" is awesome. "Oh No" was brutal in it's sincerity. Many people forget that tune and it was hugely popular. Thanks to the movie "Last American Virgin" for making it aware to everybody!
Yes, Last American Virgin! With Gary driving away in tears to James Ingram's "Just Once".
OMG, that "friend" of his was horrible! Also, what was Karen thinking? Kinda makes you mad at the end. LOL! Both of those songs are awesome, and I hope they listen to the FULL version of "Still." The radio edit ruins it. Yeah, "Just Once" by James Ingram was one of my requests. That song is amazing as well!!!
Two classics OhNo! Last American Virgin, a cult classic!
Last America Virgin had to be the best teen-sex-coming of age movies of the 80s - that ending...
CARMELA!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
such an amazing song, laid back, and just takes me back to my childhood running around outside, playing without a care in the world.
This was one of the well-played albums in my collection as a 12 year-old. The album this song is from called "Commodores" also had the songs "Brick House" and "Zoom", which are great as well. I adored the Commodores so much.
We’re probably the same age cuz this is one of the first albums I bought too! Love it!
@@caseymoe816 I just wish I hadn't been such an idiot and got rid of my albums. I could kick myself. And they were kept in pristine condition. Ugh!
@@kellyreiterman I'm the kid in the family everyone dumped their 50s, 60s, and 70s records on in the 80s and 90s. I love all my uncles, aunts, and cousins who gave me their music. Including the 8-tracks. It enriched my childhood in a way I've only really been able to appreciate fully as an adult.
@@merlball8520 Never let those records go! Thankfully, I have all my my parents' 45s from the 1950s. There are a good number of them in these little 45 album books with my mother's handwriting listing each song and artist. Now that both of my parents have passed, these mean even more to have.
They are legends.
