As an old guy, I feel bad for those that never experienced "The Midnight Special" in real time (no VCRs, no on-demand). Real groups playing their hits live was how we got to see what they looked like in those days after hearing these songs on the radio. And how great is Lionel Richie?
This is a beautiful song written and performed with Lionel as lead. He is not only a fabulous singer but he is a prolific songwriter, having written songs he recorded but also for Kenny Rogers and many others. I’ve seen him in concert 3 times and he had everyone out of their seats dancing. One of the best concerts ever.
Absolutely beautiful. One of the most romantic songs of its time. Lionel Ritchie one of the best song writers at this time. He also wrote "Lady" for Kenny Rodgers. Thanks Harri. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I think Lionel said he wrote this about his mum! How lovely is that! Lip synching to the album version (long version) here I believe. There are zero differences in the vocal between this and the recor, not even minor ones - which is never the case with truly live performances (or even between different studio takes of a song).
I d go out 8 ish to a club or with friends and get home by midnight to watch the Midnight Special. They had absolutely the top entertainers with their current songs out or performing their newest songs on live tv. I was always amazed at how they always had the most famous and biggest stars on their shows every weekend night. It truly was an event to watch. Unless you were out on a date somewhere listening to those very same songs. Great, great memories that I was fortunate to have experienced then - back in the day.Lionel Ritchie was one of the most recognizable sounds along with The Commodores at that time. Everyone alive back then loved their music.
Hey hey this is this is a good ass group from the '70s man I remember them when I was in the military back during the Disco there you remember I imagine you know them days yeah then what a great day good old days growing up in them days
Midnight Special and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert were incredible. I probably saw this on Midnight Special because Commodores (because of Ritchie) were a favorite of mine. I didn't remember his hair this long, but it been a long time since I saw this version.
For me, that is Lionel Ritchie's best. I am easily old enough and did see Don Kirshner and Midnight Special, so original MTV was great, but was in late teens for this show. The piano, back-up stuff, incredible. Light a candle, dim the lights, sip wine, or highball... as deep a mellow vibe you feel, because he invites you in and you feel the song
Felicidades, es un buen ejemplo. 157 sentadillas son unos LIKESEX.Uno muchas y un buen ejercicio. Se deja ver que hay muy buenos resultados 😍👍 Saludos desde la Cd.. de world 🌹😉💖 los mortalesc abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer.k

Thanks Harri. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Excellent! Absolutely yes, one of the greatest love songs ever written ❤️🎶
As a Lionel Richie fan for 45 years I would go with "Still" as his greatest hit.
Harri, their "Easy", "Brick House" and "Still" are next for you!!
I love Still!!!!!
Sail On is my favorite with Lionel on vocals.✌🏻
I think Lionel said he wrote this about his mum! How lovely is that!

Lionel Richie is a great singer and songwriter
Diamonds in your ears.

YOU HAVE TO HEAR "JUST TO BE CLOSE TO YOU".....!!!! COMMODORES (Lionel Richie)
(Studio version is a must..!)
Hello handsome, Still is a beautiful song by Lionel
Still...please..I rock my 9 month old, teething grandson to Lionel Richie's hits🤣 out within 3 songs 😁

"Sweet Love"
Imo it is their finest song.
You wouldn’t believe HOW LONG I’ve been looking for someone to do a reaction to this AMAZING song!! Thank you thank you! 🎶🎶
A beautiful song!
I am always a fan of live performances. This is wonderful! Lionel Richie brings it all to the table here. It doesn’t get any better. 🌺✌️
He's lip synching to the album version record here
What a great group, Lionel Richie is such an amazing artist.! Great song.

Love this song 💕💕💕💕💕
Excellent song... I think I was 11 or 12 when this came out... and I so loved it...
By the way... I dig th way you react...
Hey hey this is this is a good ass group from the '70s man I remember them when I was in the military back during the Disco there you remember I imagine you know them days yeah then what a great day good old days growing up in them days
I think Newman almost caught on fire singing that song.
This song has been my all time favorite song since it first came out and no song has ever come close to changing that absolutely adore this song ❤❤
I love Lionel Richie and the Commodores. They are from my state. They are so talented. Of course I am partial to Lionel Richie. Great reaction Harri!
This was my first boyfriend an I song 🎵
Gee that brought back memories cool summer .9th grade
This is a verse I haven’t heard. It’s usually “when we are together…”. This is nice
I 'm pretty sure this is the studio version dubbed into the live video.
Can't hear this without picturing Eddie Murphy.
Unce, tice, fee times a wady...
Buttwheat Mings! YES!

Classic!🔥❤️
Midnight Special was always live. This sounds perfect. I have never seen this either.
Also you would love Sail On. Great tune Harri
Thanks for this and for keeping great music alive!
So gentle and beautiful, thanks Harri for reminding me of this song!
"Brick House!"
For me, that is Lionel Ritchie's best. I am easily old enough and did see Don Kirshner and Midnight Special, so original MTV was great, but was in late teens for this show. The piano, back-up stuff, incredible. Light a candle, dim the lights, sip wine, or highball... as deep a mellow vibe you feel, because he invites you in and you feel the song
😅😅😅😅😅
Awesome reaction Harry !!! Jumping onto something different… please do a reaction to , “Child in time”. By Deep Purple” 🎉🎉🎉❤😮😊
Try Sail On...
This isn’t live. Midnight Special often had the artists lip synch.
Fee tines a mady.
Skating rink music.
