In 1968 the group was formed while all the members were in college at Tuskegee 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.
Unlike many other groups, the Commodores haven’t rested on their early hits. Quite the contrary, the Commodores have continued to put out quality work. The Commodores want you to know, despite a string of monster hits and massive tours in the late ’70s and early 80’s, won their first Grammy Award for the multi-platinum smash single and LP “Night Shift” in 1986. Most of all, they want you to know that the Commodores are alive and well in the new millennium, with their own label, and six new albums in stores.
“We are ready to get some R&B/pop to the Amp, and I can’t think of a better group to bring it. They have produced hits, Grammys, and are legends of Motown,” Trevor DeVaul, Recreation Coordinator of Parks, said.
