The Commodores

One of the greatest Motown and R&B / Funk artists of all time, The Commodores’ Walter “Clyde” Orange, James Dean “JD” Nicholas and William “WAK” King, have influenced both artists young and old and in all genres with their classic songs. The Commodores are bigger than ever as they continue to blaze trails all over the world.

In 1968 the group was formed while all the members were in college at Tuskeegee Institute. After being discovered by Berry Gordy, the Commodores went on to sell over 60 million records for Motown. With hits like “Easy” and “Sail On,” the Commodores became proven artists. With seven #1 hits and 70 million albums sold, the Commodores are the ultimate Pop and Motown legends. For five decades, the Commodores have remained a force in the music industry and have established staying power. Just like their hit song “Brick House,” the Commodores have created a foundation that just won’t budge.
