LOL...and I always thought this^^^was a shame...Because the shit Lionel did with the Commodores was grade A and deserves to live beyond greatest hits compilations...
But this is the truth about his legacy...Fortunately, for him, Lionel has a huge following outside the States and especially in the Middle East...And his publishing money is EPIC...
I'm sure he sleeps well at night...lol
