[Hobodeluxe007]

They should re-record this with a third verse for Michael.

[mrswindon3]

michael who

[KabalSordo]

gran canción! ver a estos artistas no es solo acordarse de marvin y jackie, sino de todos lo que de una forma u otra forman parte de la creacion de la mejor musica... crearon el rock!!! el blues y el jazz.

[mrswindon3]

why did his dad shoot him dead nutter

[2luscious4this]

@mrswindon: We can all speculate on that too and ask the same question. Marvin was on drugs, which meant he was no longer the same person, as for his aged father, who knows? Memory loss, paranoia? Probably felt threatened. Sad, but things happen and we can't take them back...tragic all the same ):

[brazsouza]

Grandes artistas, de uma época em que existiam cantores! Não essas merdas que existem hoje. Ótimo

[maracosfcsiliva]

great

[escudeirosmart]

Eu não sabia que essa música era dos Commodores e que Lionel Richie tinha sido dessa banda; muito menos que esse foi o único sucesso deles após a saída de Richie... mas gostei dessa canção! Eles até a cantaram um dia desses no Programa do Jô ao vivo, desse mesmo jeitinho, todo mundo inteirão! Cara, foi demais!

[tootie0581]

God, I love this song! I was just a little girl when this came out. It always make me feel good.

[GisherJohn24]

Will you dance with me?

[MrSerio32]

song dedicated to Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson who coincidentally died in 1984. This song won her only Grammy for best for the Best R & B Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals.

[dorisninolaguado]

me encantannnnn

[BTown1979]

Is this Pre or Post Richie?

[MsVertigo23]

Post-Richie. This was made in 1985. Richie left in '82

[Krink001]

I agree sacredlybreathing...But we can at least listen and appreciate the talent and genius of the past generations....

[angelamichas]

O God, I really LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sacredlybreathing]

Sadly unless there is some miraculous turn of events we will never here soul music like this.

[jeffster111made]

this song was dedicated to marvin gaye after his dad shot him!

[ROGUECAG]

Gr8 classic song, i remember my mom playing it all the time, brings back fond memories of my childhood. Thank You brothers.

[TheMjbiggestfan]

i love this song!!! the keyboard man is feeling it!

[MsVertigo23]

One of my all-time favorite songs by them. I love it. This is how REAL music is suppose to sound. Today's generation would never understand. 80's music & style at it's best :)

[iakny]

Sadly, they don't make this kind of music anymore.

A masterpiece.

[chickenlampbrent]

I miss marvin

[MissTeaCup68]

This music is from my 50 year old dad's generation. I'm an 18 year old girl and this is honestly a song that I like...

[jorologo]

I,m a fulltime night shift worker driving from place to place . I often play this on my cars CD player. Helps me to get through the night and keeps me motivated. Its a very inspiring R+B hit that is always gonna be a timeless classic. I,m going to work soon and gotta say its gonna be a long night ........... Its gonna be all right on the NightShift.

[mkluckhohn2711]

How can I buy this song its my favorite of all time

[iakny]

[tommyrobs1980]

sunset music in the summer, on the beach, holding hands, waves rolling softly... perfect nightshift

[tr3kkie]

music that is made to stand the test of time... wonderful :)

[911fever]

This Song Fucking Kills.

[GisherJohn24]

This song kicks so much ass I can't ever hear it enough.

[mkluckhohn2711]

[911fever]

Definitely a "desert island" track. It's almost too good.

[djphilgood3]

[Gillis1974]

Classic, nostalgia

[bloodoftheages]

[kirstiejb]

[kirstiejb]

[Abousamra413]

[GUMPY81]

[InHocZignoVinces]

the style and music from the ´80s will never ever return but remain itself forever..

[melkiades1]

forever black! we get music in da blood =)

[AmandaS1192]

I'm 16, and I wish music now a days, were like this right here. That are not just beautiful, but have a meaning too. I honestly believe that music like this, just may never made anymore, in sense that we are moving into a new (not necessarily improved) era of music. Despite what may happen to music, talent like so, shall never be forgotten. It may be imitated, but can never be duplicated.

[missestrella0524]

what an amaizing song!

[mistersanchez1971]

@missestrella0524 YES INDEED!

[deomartinez77]

this song makes me tear up everytime i hear but it also makes me smile everytime i hear it.

[GlamRockTiger]

One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. PERIOD.

[tr3kkie]

my thought exactly. :)

[singinjohnny]

I found this hauntingly beautiful back then and still do today. A most beautiful song, and recording sung, played, and arranged superbly. Listening to the words combined with the very haunting performance both vocally and musically gave me chills back then and still does. Thanks so much for posting.

[corytheprincess]

does anyone know what song form this is. i.e. AABA; contrasting verse chorus; simple verse chorus?

[jorologo]

A great tribute to Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson 2 of The greatest R+B talents. Will they do something for Michceal Jackson or rewrite this song for him. We just wait and see.

[9877julie]

classic tune to chill out to xx

[kariocapin]

Probably the most beautiful musical tribute I have ever heard. I loved it back in 1985, I love it now.

Excellence is never "dated"...this effort will stand on it's own for decades to come.

[tristan2]

[sdskyd]

e devo dizer...acho que a "apresentação ao vivo" do jô...foi melhor do que a maioria dos videos que achei no youtube...

impressionante como ao vivo algumas bandas são melhores,outras sao um lixo.

[marciorlz]

Também vi eles no Jô. Ótimos, não??? Demais de bons!!!!!

[portoricobrazil]

[klwewf]

How come you just can't say you like (or don't like) the fucking song? I'm not even sure which one you mean. Why do people always have act retarded?

[klwewf]

Eh, well. Such is life. We both like the tune at the end of the day.

[garindan75]

Fantastic song,dedicated to Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson! Even without Lionel Ritchie, The Commodores did a wonderfull song like this one, and a great album, in 1984.

[medjai2007]

dutch no.1 on 23-02-1985 xD

[jasontreks]

Sad year when both Marvin Gaye(murdered by his father) and Jackie Wilson died. A great tribute to them by The Commodores.

Hit #3 on both the US and UK charts -- 1985.

[kadaj2k6]

listen to nightshift by busysignal

[BPspec04]

I wish Lionel Richie was a part of this hit!!

[BPspec04]

I wish Lionel Richie was a part of this hit!!!!

[sophiejaycullen]

i cry when i hear this song

[Marvinbruce76]

why do u cry when u hear this song?

[rickylafountain]

This is one of those great 80's songs... and IMO the 80's music of those days had way more soul behind them than todays... they need to bring back that genre somehow.

[carabidus]

I could not agree more! And this is not just a generation-biased opinion (yes, I am 40 years old, but nevertheless...). 80's music had more passion and experimentation than much of today's music. For pop music, the 80's was a renaissance. And for you metal-heads out there (I'm still one of them!), who can deny the quality of those metal power ballads of that era! I hear absolute perfection in just about all of the 80's sub-genres. Hell, I even listened to rap back then! Remember "White Lines"?

[HalfmanhalfTwig]

What a song, they dont make theml ike this no more

[kadaj2k6]

listen to nighshift by busysignal....yea i kno its not as gud as the classic but i like it

[AtlantisAvalon]

OMG...The 80's...!!!

[T64MR]

Cheers from Brazil

8-)

[yasminegr]

One of the many songs recorded in the memory of Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson, 1985---Diana Ross wrote another one as well.

[1zackmills]

o snap! this used 2 b my song here!

[pixitax100]

ma so menosa

MICHAEL ES EL MEJORRRRRRRRRRRR

[MichaelJacksonLova14]

I really like this song. I find it relaxing.

[CraigGBR]

lionel richie iz in this band is'nt he?

[nothingbetter2du]

He was, but he left by this time to pursue his successful solo career.

[yasminegr]

Lionel is in the band, he went solo in 1980, with the album "Lionel Richie" one of the best albums ever.....it was sooo huge...

[guarddiva79]

My uncle whom I lost 2 years ago and had the same birthday as me loved this song. I remember hearing it at his wake. Miss you Uncle Al.

[alamopala]

Simplesmente um clássico. Certamente eu irei gravar pra ouvir no Opalão...Classic song.

[mazuk33]

"Opalão" é bom... combina com esse som..

gostei! ;-D

[vilmaries]

Missing my sister terribly, this was her favorite song. Going on 16 years now with out her.

[MROLDSCHOOLMUSIC]

Keep your head up sister,and stay strong.

[ogunz2373]

:-(

[duttysmoothy]

this when music was musiccccc

[anonymous69scorpio]

This song reminds me of my dad who is currently unconscious in critical care after a random seizure fit, sending all strength and positivity to him now....

[PhD123X]

Its a great smooth song - best wishes to you and your Dad - talk to him, he can hear you.

[YORKIE230557]

I send my Blessing,show him you are being Strong and he will feed from Your Strength.

God Bless.

[ogunz2373]

[Robspace1]

What alot of people don't know is how much great music these people gave us! From the 60s through the 80s this country had many great soul groups and singers like James Brown (the teacher!) as well as people like Otis Reading, Sly Stone, and Marvin Gaye, who was not only a great musician but a peace maker. His music was soothing to the soul and is needed alot today. All of these people are gone now and are badly missed-God Bless all of them for all their contributions to this countries music!

[Robspace1]

Great song and video! One of the best I have ever seen and I am now 60 and watched Marvin, and Jackie in their prime. They were the voices of this nation in their day!

[bartonone2005]

Was lucky enough to see Jackie Wilson live in 1963. The power and energy he had was really something. He was a talented singer and I'll never forget how his performance electrified me.

[princessalikababy123]

marvin and jackie 2 of the greatest to ever grace music, R.I.P BROTHERS <3

[zoecollis]

glass of wine, house to myself, & this beauty of a song, what more can i ask for!

[RebelStangII]

Another Good One!

[barbiegirl20082008]

when my son passed away i listen to this over and over. found comfort in it. it is a good song and they did a fabulouse job; just like always!!!!

[Firesnakebite]

I have always loved and cherished this great song... and it became doubly meaningful after I learned who Jackie Wilson was:

"An American singer and a 1987 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee. Known as Mr.Excitement... During a 1975 benefit concert, he collapsed on-stage from a heart attack and fell into a coma for nearly nine years. He became one of the most influential soul artists of his generation." Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

[jadamcyk]

they should do a remake of this song for michael jackson

[Blackjesus3]

true

[englishmade]

who is Jackie ??

[hickeye]

Jackie Wilson

[SpasticSasha]

this video has the most homo intro ever with the

"guys" putting on da make-up and fake eyelashes

[STRIKTLY90s]

LMAOOOO

[renes2116942501]

muito bom mesmo eu renato curto muito isso!!!!

[defyinglogic2309]

Marvin, You gave us so much, Bow out wih Sexual Healing -what a great curtain call. Rest in peace my brother

[noggs80]

Sweet music...luv it!

[neurodistortion]

This song reminds me of those times gone by while memories are still fresh.

[ScalpelKyle]

Why can't we get more of this kind of music nowadays? I miss the eighties...

[Obelisk2290]

record company politics and they are owned by liqour companies thgat could no care less about music
