About The Record:

Natural High, by Commodores, showcases the group's versatility blending heartfelt ballads with energetic funk grooves as Lionel Richie continued to shine as a key songwriter and vocalist. The album features standout funky tracks like X-Rated Movie, Such a Woman, Fire Girl, and Flying High that highlight their sophisticated R&B and danceable grooves, while fan favorites also include I Like What You Do and the smooth slow jam Say Yeah. Historically, it marked a transitional phase for the band toward broader crossover appeal before Richie's solo breakthrough. A unique aspect is how it balances humorous and romantic elements, solidifying their status as one of Motown's hottest acts of the era with strong production and musicianship. Three Times a Lady became their first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1, also reaching No. 1 on the R&B chart, while the album itself peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and topped the R&B Albums chart.
