Nightshift - The Commodores (Lyrics and Chords)
ARTIST: The Commodores TITLE: Nightshift Lyrics and Chords
Marvin, he was a friend of mine And he could sing a song His heart in every line Marvin sang of the joy and pain He opened up our minds And I still can hear him say Aw, talk to me so you can see What's going on Say you will sing your songs Forevermore, evermore
/ G Em D - / C - / D - / : / Em C / D - / Em C / Em7 - /
{Refrain} Gonna be some sweet sounds coming down On the nightshift I bet you're singing proud Oh, I bet you'll pull a crowd Gonna be a long night, it's gonna be all right On the nightshift Oh you found another home, I know you're not alone On the nightshift
/ G Em / D - / C - / G - / 1st, 2nd / C D / G - /
Jackie, hey what you doing now It seems like yesterday When we were working out Jackie, you set the world on fire You came and gifted us Your love it lifted us higher and higher Keep it up and we'll be there At your side Oh say you will sing your songs Forevermore, evermore
{Refrain}
Gonna miss your sweet voice, that soulful noise On the nightshift We all remember you Ooh, your songs are coming through At the end of a long day it's gonna be okay On the nightshift You found another home, I know you're not alone On the nightshift
The Commodores Biography The Commodores formed at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, USA, in 1967, when two groups of students merged to form a six-piece band. Lionel Richie (20 June 1949, Tuskegee, Alabama, USA; keyboards, saxophone, vocals), Thomas McClary (b. 6 October 1950; guitar) and William King (b. 30 January 1949, Alabama, USA; trumpet) had been members of the Mystics; Andre Callahan (drums), Michael Gilbert (bass) and Milan Williams (b. 28 March 1948, Mississippi, USA, d. 9 July 2006, Houston, Texas, USA; keyboards) previously played with the Jays. Callahan and Gilbert were replaced, respectively, by Walter 'Clyde' Orange (b. 10 December 1947, Florida, USA) and Ronald LaPread (b. 4 September 1950, Florida, USA), before the Commodores moved to New York in 1969, where they became established as a club band specializing in funk instrumentals. A year later, they recorded an album for Atlantic Records, left unissued at the time but subsequently released as Rise Up, which included instrumental cover versions of recent R&B hits, plus some original material.
In 1972, the band's manager, Bernie Ashburn, secured them a support slot on an American tour with the Jackson Five, and the Commodores were duly signed to Motown Records. They continued to tour with the Jackson Five for three years, after which they supported the Rolling Stones on their 1975 US tour. By this time, their mix of hard-edged funk songs and romantic ballads, the latter mostly penned and sung by Richie, had won them a national following. The instrumental 'Machine Gun' gave them their first US hit, followed by 'Slippery When Wet'. The Commodores soon found consistent success with Richie's smooth ballads; 'Sweet Love', 'Just To Be Close To You' and 'Easy' all enjoyed huge transatlantic sales between 1975 and 1977. Although Clyde Orange's aggressive 'Too Hot To Trot' broke the sequence of ballads in 1977, the Commodores were increasingly regarded as a soft-soul outfit. This perception was underlined when Richie's sensitive love song to his wife, 'Three Times A Lady', became a number 1 record in the USA and UK, where it was Motown's biggest-selling record to date. Their next Top 5 hit, 'Sail On', introduced a country flavour to Richie's work, and he began to receive commissions to write material for artists such as Kenny Rogers. After 'Still' gave them another US pop and soul number 1 in 1979, confirming the Commodores as Motown's best-selling act of the 70s, the band attempted to move into a more experimental blend of funk and rock on Heroes in 1980. The commercial failure of this venture, and the success of Lionel Richie's duet with Diana Ross on 'Endless Love', persuaded him to leave the band for a solo career in 1983.
