The Commodores are an American funk soul band that formed in 1968 at Tuskegee University in Alabama. They began their recording career in 1969 and signed to a label in 1972, starting with a support stint in a tour. The band enjoyed commercial success in the late 1970s with hit ballads such as "Easy," "Still," and "Three Times a Lady," which also influenced the solo career of one of their members. They are recognized for their dance funk tracks, including "Machine Gun," "Brick House," "The Bump," "Fancy Dancer," and "Too Hot Ta Trot." The Commodores have sold over 75 million records throughout their career, which lasted into the early 1990s. Their best work was produced by their permanent producer. In 1978, they made a brief appearance in the disco movie "Thank God It's Friday." When one member left for a solo career, another member replaced him. The band won their first Grammy Award in 1985 for the tribute song "Nightshift." In 1982, another member left the band and was replaced, and in 1983, a different member replaced yet another for their world tour. At the end of 2024, the band retired, and the new lineup consists of Cody Orange, Colin Orange, and others.
