Commodores Re-Record Grammy Award Winning “Nightshift” to Pay Tribute to Michael Jackson on Anniversary of His Passing

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Commodores performed at Wembley Arena in London on June 25, 2009, the night Michael Jackson died. It was a somber experience for the Commodores to hear that news as they walked off the stage. The following night, JD Nicholas substituted the word Michael for Jackie in their performance of their Grammy Award winning song “Nightshift” – that one change brought the audience to their feet. That's where the idea started to re-write the song as a tribute to Michael.

    “MICHAEL, he was a friend of mine”

The Commodores and Dennis Lambert (one of the original writers along with Commodores member Walter Orange and Franne Golde) have re-written the lyrics to "Nightshift" and re-recorded it with new lyrics honoring many of the great artists we have lost.

Attached is a copy mp3…We hope that you enjoy it and that radio plays it this Friday in honor of Michael on the one year anniversary of his untimely passing.

The Commodores are available for interviews.

Following is an excerpt from the lyrics… Full lyrics are available upon request.

“MICHAEL, he was a friend of mine
For more than forty years, no brighter star did shine
MICHAEL, they call you, “King Of Pop”
But for your gentle soul, the pain would never stop…”
