lionel wrote the song ''lady'' for kenny rogers in the 70's...one of his biggest hits...if u listen to kenny's version...u can clearly here lionel in the music straight away.
This is one of their best, I think... It's neither excessively soppy, nor does it entreat one "to dance"... Plus, the chord changes are rather unusual for a pop song of the 70s...
In early '78 or so when this masterpiece came out,my girlfriend[who is now my wife of thirty-two years and I both fell in love with it.It is a special song.laden with wonderful memories of 1978 when we became engaged in the spring and married in october.This music will last forever.Kinda feel sorry for the youngsters who never were able to actually listen to something beautiful such as this....too bad
you guys rock! how is it you guys had so much style and love for yourselves more so then our generation, when our generation has it a lot easier being black in America?
Going through the comments on this song shows how music goes on to connect people. I grew up in the nineties listening to a three cell radio my young aunt wont let go for she was a fan of this kind of music in rural Kenya (there was no electricity, infact it is now being connected!!) and look what I grew up to love? Elvis, Commodores, Warwick. Wao!! Such music is priceless
I was a student at AUBURN UNIVERSITY. The Commodores were located 15 miles south of AUBURN in Tuskegee. ALA. They would come up to AUBURN and do free concerts. I knew they were going to be special. The AUBURN kids loved um and we went everytime they came up.
Ahhhhh Lovely, lovely tune. Reminds me of the summer of 78. Camping in Helston, Cornwall. This and Lipstick by Shawaddywaddy used to play on the radio when we having breakfast, followed by Swingball! Happy days..
Yeah as a baby of the new school, this song is hella deep... I have not had the opportunity to place this one a lost love, but damn, I can think of one right now and it is very touching... Wish I coulda heard this on rotation back in the 70's, wasn't born yet, but this song was for me too... Thanks ya'll and thanks for posting...
wow this brings back some memories....at the dance club I attended many moons ago....this was the song most guys dedicated to the gal they just broke up with.....still makes me cry to hear it to this day. Beautiful and classy song.
magnific song, and excelent interpretation, good job Lionel Ricchi,your are great like other Lionel, I am talking about Lionel Messi, the best soccer player in whole world.
Forever, this song is about Dalene McLendon from West Palm Beach, Florida. "Weinie", "Silky" all you're adoring names. We'll think about you in our everyday life. And miss you MORE than there is sand in the ocean.
sometimes i just fell like crawling into a deep hole and don't come out,i live for those moments back in times....!!!!!! Memories are so precious!!! no one can take them away from you.... Thank god!!!!
This brings back so many good memories, When I still had all my family was still alive and in my life and no one had any troubles. Makes me want to cry.
this is such a beautiful and special song, everytime i hear it, don,t realize that i shed a tears, i will always love this song till the end of time,....so....special.....
I didn't even know that they had a video to this song. "Three Times A Lady" is a classic. From what I believe is one of the greatest R&B groups of the seventies.
No. 1 on Billboard the day I was born. Cool :)
