Description

Be aware, in same cases pictures display here isn’t the same as the actually product. May be is a promo.

The Commodores sixth studio album, Natural High, is best known for the ballad Three Times a Lady, which became a staple of adult contemporary radio and reached number one on both the pop and R&B charts. Three Times a Lady was their first number one pop hit and Lionel Richie was being recognized as a major crossover star. Not everyone liked Three Times a Lady, some people found the song to be much too sappy, and R&B purists argued that The Commodores were watering their music down. But even if Three Times a Lady isn’t your cup of tea, Natural High still has a lot to offer R&B fans. X-Rated Movie, Such a Woman and I Like What You Do are exhilarating examples of hardcore funk, and those who appreciate artists like Heatwave and Brothers Johnson will find a lot to admire about Fire Girl and Flying High ( both of which are sleek examples of the sophisticated funk style ). Meanwhile, Say Yeah ( featuring Richie ) is a first-rate R&B slow jam. Whatever your opinion of Three Times a Lady, whether you love it or hate it, the fact is that Natural High has more plusses than minuses and was a generally respectable, if imperfect, addition to The Commodores catalog.
