EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
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 brand is bigger than ever as they continue to blaze trails all over
the world.
Two Alabama cities
recently honored the music legacy of the Commodores! Tuskegee declared Friday
March 29, 2019 to be Commodores Day, and Montgomery declared the band members
to be honorary residents, receiving keys to the city! A celebration was held at
the Commodore Museum, the site of the Commodores’ former rehearsal and
recording studio in Tuskegee. The Commodores was originally formed by a group of
college students at Tuskegee Institute just over 50 years ago.
“It is really great to
see the place where the group was born! It still feels like home 50 years
later, to the point where we didn’t want to leave!” – The Commodores.
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 “Machine Gun” and “Sail On,” the Commodores
became proven artists. For five decades, the Commodores have remained a force
in the music industry. The Commodores aren’t just any group. They have staying
power. Just like their hit song “Brick House,” the Commodores have created a
foundation that just won’t budge.
Don’t miss your chance to
feature one of the most successful vocal groups of all time in 2019 and beyond
as The Commodores continue to thrill audiences with their Greatest Hits Tour –
Live!
