This song helped build on Lionel Ritchie's reputation as a song writer and it did have that country twang. He penned songs for Kenny Rogers.
This is one of the coldest break-up songs ever! By the way, Lionel Richie wrote a lot of country music He was always giving them to other artists until their manager told him not to give another song away, and that they were going to start recording their OWN songs, no matter what kind of song it was!!
Sail on down the line
,
'Bout a half a mile or so
,
And I don't really wanna know,
Where you're going
.
Maybe once or twice, you see
,
Time after time I tried to,
To hold on to what we got
,
But, now you're going
.
And I don't mind
,
About the things you're gonna say, Lord
,
I gave all my money and my time
.
I know it's a shame
,
But, I'm giving you back your name
.
Yeah, yeah
.
Guess, I'll be on my way
,
I won't be back to stay,
I guess I'll move along
,
I'm looking for a good time
.
Sail on down the line
Ain't it funny how the time can go
Friends say they told me so
But it doesn't matter
It was plain to see
That a small town boy like me
Just wasn't your cup of tea
I was wishful thinking
I gave you my heart
And I tried to make you happy
And you gave me nothing in return
You know, it ain't so hard to say
"Would you please just go away
?"
Yeah, yeah
.
I've thrown away the blues
,
I'm tired of being used
,
I want everyone to know
,
I'm looking for a good time
, good time, yeah.
I gave you my heart
,
And I tried to make you happy
,
And you gave me nothing in return
You know, it ain't so hard to say
,
"Would you please just go away
?"
Yeah, yeah
Got nothing else to lose
,
I'm tired of being used
,
I want everyone to know
I'm looking for a good time
, good time.
Oh, sail on, honey

!
Good times never felt so good
!
Sail on, sugar
!!
Good times never felt so good!
Sail on. . .

Sail on. . .
This song is a straight up masterpiece. It is indeed the perfect, beautiful, peculiar hybrid of country and soul that made it such a hit. The Commodores are country boys/bruthas after all from down south at Tuskegee in Alabama. The more you listen to the song I guarantee the more you’ll come to love it. Also I was partially weaned on country music through my father who is a black, Maryland country boy.
Yes they are "brothers" and they were musically diverse , although most of their songs had a R&B and funk vibe..... "Sweet Love"
"Just to Be Close to You, "Fancy Dancer", "Easy",, Heaven Knows, " Funny Feelings ", Three Times a Lady","Flying High" ,and "Still", to name a few.
They are NOT! brothers they attended the same college thou Tuskegee University!
@@ronniepatton7730 Ronnie - he (and I) were referring to brothers as black men ( when JJ made the comment in his reaction,) - NOT biological brothers . That's why I put brothers in quotes ! JJ made the comment because the song had a country feel to it and he was expecting R&B
It's called the writing genius of Lionel Richie! He could do it all.....even gospel! "Jesus Is Love"! There's not a music genre he hasn't touched!
Lionel always had that country thing going. He's very respected in the world of country music. He wrote Lady for Kenny Rogers, which was a big hit.
Not surprised , they were from Alabama
Yep that’s why Kenny Rogers had such a big hit wit Lionel’s tune, Lady. Them boys come from country. Country singers are soulful. Should see a documentary called, R&B & Country, combing artists from both genres, like Al Green & Lyle Lovett. I believe Patti LaBelle is on that one too. Lionel’s successful writing for the Commodores definitely set him up nice to go solo: Hello; All Night Long; Love Will Find A Way; Running With The Night; Penny Lover; Endless Love (w/Diana Ross)
You can really hear The southern accent in Lionel's voice here. He's from Tuskegee Alabama and the members of the Commodores met and got together there in college. We've always loved our Commodores here in Bama.
Growing up in the sixties , I am used to hearing country music, jazz, soul, rock, hard rock , and funk on the same station. I like songs and groups like the Commodores that mix genres. Every genre has something in it that is fantastic and contributes to great music and when you mix it up in one song it is even better. Check out "Sweet Love" and " Still." The Commodore brothers gave us beautiful music. You are the best reactor on You Tube!
Commodores are primarily funk and r&b, but have a lot of diversity in their music. I feel like in the 60s and especially 70s there were a lot of groups that had much more diversity in the music. Combining elements of all the music they grew up with from funk, blues, rock, r&b, soul, pop , latin and even jazz . The music of those eras is very interesting to me because of this.
These brothers are from Tuskegee, Alabama and they all know country. The writer, Lionel Ritchie has had a few smashes that crossed over on the country music charts. This being one. The Commodores owe a lot of their success to producer James Carmichael who produced all their Motown albums until he and Lionel left the group to go solo. For a serious treat: Look up (TH-cam) "Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie singing "Lady" " live at some award show. You'll get some goosebumps at what seasoned pros they were at the time. (Lionel wrote it and recorded it for Kenny and it was perhaps his biggest hit of hits.) RIP Kenny Rogers.
Zoom and Sail On are from the same album.
No they are not! Zoom is from 1977 and Sail On is 1979
Country is Lionel Richie's wheel house. He did a lot of country
I think he did a whole country album
Lionel Richie said he originally wrote this song for a Country artist. But they didnt want it or whatever reason so they ended up doing it. I haven't heard this song in years. I grew up on the Commodores. Brick house was my favorite song by them as a kid.
You really have to see the actual music video. That way you get to see the others singing and harmonizing along with Lionel. This song just sounds so good!! I really like that this song came from left-field with a country feel to it, but still soulful. I just shows their creativity and versatility.
This was done during the time when Lionel Richie was taking them in a different direction. Becoming crossover artists and groups was the preferred path. It also laid the stage for Richie to become a Pop/Soft Rock solo artist.
even the other r&b super groupe EWF were trying too appeal to a wider audience around this time by tweaking their sound
Love when he says .....wishful thankn 😊
Always a Beautiful song❣Lionel is from TX. He became even more popular on the country side after he and Kenny Rogers wrote songs for each other. It's funny, back in the day, this song was so popular, always on the radio, I never heard the country aspect of it until I was older....now I love it even more 💖👍
Gotta check out some other Commodores songs This is your life, Slippery when wet, Fancy Dancer, High on Sunshine come to mind. I hope you react to those songs, I enjoy your reactions.
Beautiful song, I’ve always loved this one
It’s got a country western twang to it but Lionel Ritchie is from Alabama so he can relate. He grew up down the street from Tuskegee university.
this is the coolest " FXXK You " song ever written
Lionel Richie was/is popular in country. Remember he wrote and recorded Lady which most people associate with Kenny Rodgers. Kenny called him on stage to do a duet of the song, in Las Vegas I believe. They appeared to be good friends!
They have so many different sounding songs…all of them classic👍🏼
Commodores are right up there amongst the top r&b bands of the 70s....they started out purely funk but later showed they could switch up styles....of course led by the great Lionel Ritchie who went on to have a MONSTER solo career....here are some other great hits by them to check out
Zoom
Easy
Three Times A Lady
Brick House
Machine Gun
Lady (You Bring Me Up)
they aee from alabama, all their early slow songs sound like this....this is why i love country mucis because its the closest thing to R&B, they have all the same elements... real vocals, intricate musical rhythms and instrumentations, meaningful lyrics...this is ine of their earliest hits from like 1978
Another one of my favorites.. I loved the Commodores in the 70’s with songs like this one, Just To Be Close To You, Easy, Zoom and Brick House❤️
Just as the Isley Brothers are the most underrated Heavy Metal band ever, Lionel and the Commodores don't get enough props are C&W artists.
This is the male version of "I Will Survive"
The Commodores were a talented group. That Lionel Richard singing. He kind of country. This is a good song.
Lionel Richie was a hell of a song writer.
I think he wrote this for a country singer then decided to keep it .
Wow i haven't listen to this song in many yrs & i still remember all the words to this song. When this came out i never thought this song had a country feel to it. I still have the record that behind you & many others lp.from them. Now if you want a funker side of them next check out the songs: Too hot to trot, Fancy dancer, I feel sanctified enjoy.
One of my all time favorites!!!!!!
The great Lionel Richie grew up loving country music and realized they could sell more records and make more $$$ if he wrote songs that would appeal to R&B, pop, AND country music fans.....and this was a big hit on ALL THREE charts....as was Three Times A Lady before this....
The "Country Sound" on this track was purposefully! Lionel Ritchie is a "Beast", I really hope that they finally do the "previously promised" "Reunion Tour". I saw Lionel a couple of years ago, would like to see him with "The Commodores". Peace!
They met and formed at Tuskegee University in Alabama.
This was a great song to me. Loved this Commodores project. Yes, Lionel Richie has a country/soul feel to his songs and music. Yes, he has written songs for country-western artists, namely Kenny Rogers. Bet you wouldn't have guessed that Motown had a black band that put out music like this. 😃😃😃
Such songs like this but Lionel Richie on the map as a great singer and song writer. Although, the Commordores was originally a funk band these soulful ballads paved the way for Lionel's solo career. Their song "Captain Quickdraw" is worth reacting to....
Gorgeous song to smooch to
Whewwwww this song was a pretty hard listen for me as a kid after it first came out. Lionel was so far ahead of the times with his visions. He made this song Country R&B it was a little weird. I def give him his props, he changed the game with this one here. He became such an in-demand songwriter and became a Megastar. Almost no one was a bigger pop star in the 80's than Lionel..... He wrote the country Mega super hit "Lady" for Kenny Rogers which was Kenny's greatest selling song of his career. "Sail On" reached the top ten on both the US and UK music charts that same year. Richie later recorded the song with country singer Tim McGraw for 2012's . I APPLAUD YOU MR. LIONEL RITCHIE....
One of my favorites!
His remake of Easy with Willie Nelson is one of my fave duets... Their styles are so different, but the song fits both their styles soo well.
Check out this slice of r&b/funk from the Commodores "The Commodores - Old Fashion Love" believe it or not this was the first song that made me realise that Lionel Richie is from the south because for some reason i never notice his southern drawl before this.
I was obessed with particularly Lionel Ritchies solo career music. I was playing piano and had to learn every song o could find sheet music for..... my first was a Commodores song though..... Three Times a Lady. I got that because my piano teachers daughter had it laying around. That and Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven.
Most of the original Commodores are natives of the Southeastern US, and met while they were attending the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. So living in that region it was inevitable that their songwriting style would be influenced by Country music. In fact that 'Awww' thing you hear from Funk bands like the Commodores, Sly & the Family Stone, EWF, Ohio Players, and Cameo comes from the drawl many African American Southerners brought with them during First and Second Migrations into the North, Midwest, and West Coast.
Lionel Ritchie said that he originally wrote this with Glen Campbell in mind. He's said that the Commodores couldn't get a hit for the longest time, but he kept writing all of these songs for other artist. At one point, one of the producers at Motown said "I don't want to hear anything that you wrote for the Commodores. I want to hear what you wrote for everybody else!"
I always really liked this song!!! Very relatable (at certain times😃😃)
Classic!!! Lionel was like do you because I'm out! (sorry not sorry🤣!!!) Lionel could have easily made it big as a Country artist!
I had this album on cassette when it came out and I listened to is so much I wore it out. Probably my favorite Commodores album along side Caught in the Act. BTW, you should do The Commodores Wide Open from Caught in the Act. GREAT ALBUM!!!
Not sure where they originate, but they met while attending Tuskeegee, a HBCU. Word is they still got room for you youngbloood.
This is just a beautiful song that I played loudly the day of my divorce. Even though I was hurting, it was a new beginning, and I was "looking for a good time" as well to help me back into the world. The Commodores were a diverse style of Funk where in this song it definitely has a country flavor to it, however it still has Soul. It definitely shows your intellect that you got past the Country vibe and appreciated the great song that it is. There is nothing wrong with Country at all, but you weren't expecting that, and still appreciated it. Great job Brother. Great work reacting as usual! Peace!
Love, love, love this song -- you should also react to "Easy." Yeah, they are "brothers." Many are not aware, but country music is heavily influenced by Black music. I watched a documentary on this.
Always Love This One ... Lionel Richie doing his Thing!!! Big Hit!!!
Commodores-jesus
Lionel Richie in concert is the best. A great musician
I like this song ...it's got that country vibe but its nice .👌
lionel richie from houston texas on vocals soul &country are closer than you think diversity in music was a thing many competent player could do music in different styles
He actually was born and raised in Tuskegee AL and he grew up on country music by way of his grandparents.
Just a little country funk
Kinda reminds me of "soft rock" genre that was popular in the late 70s/80s.
You can watch the video of this, or you go on TH-cam and see them on Soul Train.
The Commodores experimented with all types of music. The even did a gospel song called "Jesus Is Love". It's a great song and i'm not really into gospel music. You should check it out.
Same band little brother. Versatile
you should give a listen to - THE FANTASICS- SOMETHING OLD SOMETHING NE W (1973)
The greatest “I’m tired of this disrespectful shit and I refuse to deal with it any further.”
Get the hell outta my life, I’ll see you in divorce court .
Yeah ,.. that’s this song .
Sail On Honey!!!!!!
Oh, I almost forgot Just to be close to you LOL
I know you have done a lot of but please check out The Commodores' "Old Fashioned Love": th-cam.com/video/04oWm1I2XKY/w-d-xo.html, "Lady (You Bring me Up)": th-cam.com/video/phNLASyPsUU/w-d-xo.html and "Still": th-cam.com/video/IIWJtPR_BEg/w-d-xo.html and "Sweet Love" from their live tour and album from 1977: th-cam.com/video/ME_w94R1Lbo/w-d-xo.html. That entire live concert was a treasure! (accessable at: th-cam.com/video/l4v2rI6nyhg/w-d-xo.html)
Groups started to make 'crossover' music to catch more fans and dollars...
This is song is about a divorce. "Usually how it goes." is funny/right.
This tha long version 🔥🔥🔥
This is my sad drinking song. The neighbors are aware. 😂. Ok all mentions of morraca outro get liked and subbed. It's the rules.

Lionel Richie - country song - Commodores? Seriously? hahahahahahahaha .......ha
Wasn't one of my favorite Commodores songs but it was interesting.
This is when the Commodores started slipping in the Black community. Their first songs (Machine Gun) were dance, R&B and Funk...then they tried crossing over to all this bullshit! Although, I must say I LOVE the song "Easy." Then Lionel even came out with a song called "Dancing on the Ceiling,"...then I knew he'd lost his mind! lol The Commodores were a good though!!!
This isn't country...today's country has just turned into yesterdays pop
"is this the right song"? LOLOLOL. Lionel Richie liked to dip a toe into country a lot. I admit - I am NOT a fan of his country songs....
