I went to a funeral here in D.C where the deceased left instructions for the mourners stand and send her off singing Zoom. We all felt her mood because it fit her perfectly.

IceMan: mine too, I'm with you. From Lionel's amazing range and phrasing, to the fellas' background vocals, to the instrumentation (man, those horns and strings!), this is hands down my favorite Commodores' song).

This song gave me the courage to leave Germany at 21 to find my happiness. I used to live in a high-rise and my bedroom allowed me a tiny sliver of sky view if I laid on my bed just so. I was 15 and used to let this song whisk me away. It has a very special meaning for me. When the aircraft door closed on my flight to America this song was roaring in my mind. Zoom...

@beeseewill2407 3 жыл бұрын

When "Zoom "was released ,it had a special feel.Such a song was not expected from the commodores.The title itself made you expect something more upbeat,but it turned out to be soooo smooth and soothing.I love Lionel's voice. Great song to put on when you're driving.

summer 1977 at IUP. big time hit from the boys from alabama.. HBCU`s glory from TUSKEGEE college... lionel on lead vocal and they really played the instruments. no computers and autotune. TALENT..

19 years old....sitting in a bar with my best friend and her roomate *Vernon* ....I requested this and the dj played it....Vernon and I sang the whole song at the top of our lungs....we stayed until the bar closed.....we each went home....on their way home they were in a head on collision with a Semi Truck on a dark highway...both were instantly killed....We all were so happy that tragic night...I love this song....RIP Ms Dunn and Vernon..

1977....Im 12 yrs old and on our way to the zoo with 6 of my cousins.....my uncle had a old school 70's van....playing the new Commodores record(8-track)..🤣...all the way there. One of my best memories is all of us singing"Zoom"....Im 56 yrs old now and the only one of us from that trip thats still alive. Started to tear up at first, but sad tears turned to happy tears as the memories from that trip came flooding back. Thank you young brother. Wishing you all the success with your channel.❤👍✌

@theinsightfulvisionary0197 2 жыл бұрын

Omg!!! I love this song!!! Lionel Richie has one of the most distinctive voices in r&b; a couple of other hits by the Commodore is Jesus is Love and Lady. Zoom was written along with Ronald LaPread of the Commodores after the death of his first wife Kathy, at age 23 from cancer; oh yes, it brought tears to my eyes!!! It it such a beautiful and melancholy song that Lionel Richie poured his heart into; you picked a great song JJ!!! I'm so proud of you!!!

Young man my challenge to you is to go back and listen to these songs after you've had some life experience as well. I'd say around 40 years old. These old school R&B songs take on a new meaning because you can better relate. You're doing a great job by the way.

I love how the same song can mean different things to a person at different stages of that individual’s life. This is definitely one of those songs for me. Listening to this in my teens feels like it was a completely different song listening to it now. That’s what you call timeless, GREAT music.?🎼 🎶 I’d also recommend, if you haven’t already, reacting to “Love Will Find a Way” from when Lionel Richie later went solo after his days with the Commodores. That song also has the same effect for me. Also, you mention production a lot, and certainly that is part of what makes a studio-recorded song come out well. Yet “back in the day“ it really was even MORE about the actual REAL talent and musicianship behind the production, especially with those elite bands like the Commodores and EWF. “Zoom” is one of my life anthems.

Thank you!!! I'm so glad I didn't have to burn up your channel requesting this song countless times!!! This is THAT song when you talk about spacing a song out and the creation of it. They have at least three versions of this song and I like this one and the shortened version as well. Haven't heard this in over 40 years until recently and due to my brother's passing years ago I decided to memorialize him with songs I have heard with him. Thank you for listening and doing this. V out. ✌🏾

Very good group/band! The 70's had some incredible bands: Commodores, Rufus, Maze, EWF, Slave,Brass Construction,Barkays, Isley Bros, Jacksons, Parliment, Funkadelic, LTD, War, Kool and the Gang...I could go on but you get my point... etc... incredible music! Then you had the groups and individual stars...the crazy thing about it JJ, is that NOBODY sounded alike. If you heard the lead singing voice you knew who it was...unlike today, where artists sound identical with the advent of Auto Toons!! The mechanical falsetto of the guys trying to sound younger than they are (imitating puberty) is ridiculous.

The one thing about the 60,70 & 80’s. Mostly every song was compose almost like using a whole orchestra. Real music... you hear those violins and horns? And, I think they used a xylophone and several heart instruments. Real music. I was the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame official archive videographer.... filming the greatest entertainers in world for 10 years. Listening to their stories on the music industry... what they went through and persevered.(Performance)
