Getting their start in the late ‘60s, The Commodores are one of the most enduring soul groups of all time. The collective have sold over 75 million records worldwide, won a Grammy Award for Best Rhythm & Blues Vocal Performance – Duo, Group Or Chorus for their song ‘Nightshift’ and have been inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame and Vocal Group Hall of Fame.
Throughout the years the lineup has changed regularly, with the current iteration of The Commodores made up of original founding member and band leader William King, Cody and Colin Orange, the sons of original founding Commodore Walter “Clyde Brickhouse” Orange, and latest recruit Brent Carte, who has a long and storied history as an R&B vocalist.
