6 words: Just To Be Close To You!

[6432017c]

idalyis, you and anyone else who was not around to listen to this music when it was played on the radio everyday, should be jealous...this is one of many superlative songs that were part of a playlist not controlled by corporate radio.

[chitownkid59]

@6432017c ....Nice comment,i was around and it was pure magic.on a hot summer evening on the southside of chicago.

[RudedogCrawford]

The Alabama coming out of Lionel in that intro, sounds like a baptist preacher! LOL!!!!

[icouldbecontacted]

Some songs sum it up in minutes

[dl8a]

[leftdunk55]

Doesn't the country, 'Bama, funky Lionel Richie have more valya and pupuss than the lame "Dancing on the Ceiling and Ballerina Girl" imposter of the 1980's? Can you say REUNION TOUR?

[dianaegrado13]

My favorite

[tripwires2]

[bananasandpeaches]

[slyfyre16]

I was in love with my next door nieghbor (from afar) and i would play this song and sit in my room and just Sing...

[myname4445]

I was a lonely boy when this song came out and although I was alone I enjoyed the music anyway.

[DaveWollenberg]

Timothy White and Fred Bronson called Lionel Richie's dialogue, his Alabama preacher's drawl.

[stratstan]

Am a guitar player! Tho I was spoon fed ZZ Top, Aerosmith, n Stones etc... i also had heavy helpings of Marvin Gaye, Earth, Wind, and Fire, James Brown. I bought this album when i was 15-16 n wore it out, still have it stashed away. the musicianship here is stellar. music feeds our soul with peace and love! Rock on Commodores!

[stratstan]

Peace!

[queer4sheers]

One of the most memorible songs of Our Genreation....;)

[cgamonwhit]

It would be so nice if the Commodores and Maze would do a concert on the same ticket! I would go thru hell with gasoline draws on to get them tickets...

[david80905]

Better than that rap shit I accidentally clicked on. Why do the boys, and I mean that with a very little b, have to talk so much shit about how they gonna f**@k some girl like that makes them some kind of a man? Why do today's girls put up with that low class, macho B.S.?

[september7girl]

One of my all time favorites, love this

[sonnyandbilly]

"Girl, I THOUGHT our love would stand the test of time."

[almondy1963]

These are the songs that will live on with the time. I feel so great to know I was a part of this Era. Lionel Richie and the Commodores is one of the greatest group to put Music to Wax for the World to appreciate. We Loved You guys in the Bahamas. You made is so Easy for us to say what we wanted to to our women. Thanks Again praying to visit Tuskegee again someday.
