Performer Information

Few bands in music history have left as indelible a mark on funk and soul as The Commodores. Formed in 1968 in Tuskegee, Alabama, the group emerged as standard-bearers of the late-’70s Motown era with airtight musicianship and crossover hits. Founding members included William “WAK” King, Lionel Richie, Thomas McClary, Milan Williams, Ronald LaPread, and Walter “Clyde” Orange. Their rise produced Platinum albums and global sales of over 70 million, with landmark releases like Commodores (1977) and Natural High (1978) leading the way.

The Commodores’ legacy includes one Grammy win with two total nominations, plus an American Music Award for Favorite Soul/R&B Band/Duo/Group in 1979. Their sound—equal parts horn-driven funk, smooth harmonies, and unforgettable bass lines—continues to resonate across generations and influence R&B and pop artists worldwide.
