Die Commodores sind eine US-amerikanische Band aus Detroit. Sie entwickelten sich von "einer dynamischen Funk/Party-Band zu einer popul�ren Balladen-Gruppe" und standen zwischen 1974 und 1988 mit rund 30 Hits in den amerikanischen R&B-Charts. Mit Three Times a Lady (1978) und Still (1979) erreichten sie jeweils Platz 1 der Pop- und R&B-Charts. In Deutschland hatten sie mit dem Top-10-Erfolg Nightshift (1985) ihren gr��ten Erfolg.
Lionel Ritchie, der sp�ter Solo auch in Deutschland ein Superstar wurde, war Gr�ndungsmitglied.

Wonderland" (a number 21 R&B hit) is an enjoyable R&B slow jam, and fans of sophisticated funk (as opposed to hardcore funk) should appreciate "You're Special," "Gettin' It," and the disco-minded title song. "Sexy Lady" is the only thing on the LP that can honestly be described as hardcore funk; most of the up-tempo tunes favor the type of sophisticated funk that the Brothers Johnson, Rufus/Chaka Khan, and Heatwave were known for in the late '70s. Next to "Still," the album's best-known track is "Sail On," which reached number eight on Billboard's R&B singles chart (and number four on its pop single chart) despite the fact that it is essentially a pop-country song. Some R&B purists saw "Sail On" as a blatant example of how watered down the Commodores had become, but it's still a charming and likable tune -- one that wouldn't have been out of place on a Dolly Parton or Glen Campbell LP. Midnight Magic isn't one of the Commodores' essential releases, and R&B purists are advised to stick to the band's pre-1977 albums. Nonetheless, this is a generally decent, if uneven, record that has more strengths than weaknesses.
