i dislike Lionel's solo stuff now as much as i did back then.
i don't dislike it now just b/c it was pandering though. i dislike it b/c it just don't move me.
today, w/my adult sensibilities, i'd say Lionel is a 2nd tier act. i'm not willing to put him among the greats. not even when i consider his work w/the Commodores. he's not on MJ's level. he's not on Prince's level. he's not on Stevie's level. he's not as good a songwriter as any of those 3. not as good a vocalist. not as funky. not as soulful. not as moving. this is solo and w/the Commodores.
i bet he's a nice guy though. i'd go to a bbq at his place.
