The Commodores started at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama in the late ’60s and went on to become one of Motown’s biggest groups of the ’70s and ’80s. You probably know their wedding reception classic “Brick House” or their ballads like “Easy,” “Three Times a Lady,” “Sail On,” and “Still.” They are one of those rare bands that excel in R&B, pop and adult contemporary.

The Commodores are still touring today, but the lineup looks quite different from how it used to be. The classic lineup most fans remember included Lionel Richie, William “WAK” King, Walter “Clyde” Orange, Thomas McClary, Ronald LaPread and Milan Williams. While the group has changed members many times over the years, let’s find out who from the Commodores is still with us today, and is Richie actually part of their current tour?
