The Commodores Tapestries
Description: Commodores were formed from two former student groups: the Mystics and the Jays. Richie described some members of the Mystics as "jazz buffs". The new six-man band featured Lionel Richie, Thomas McClary, and William King from the Mystics, and Andre Callahan, Michael Gilbert, and Milan Williams from the Jays. They chose their present name when King flipped open a dictionary and ran his finger down the page. "We lucked out," he remarked with a laugh when telling this story to People magazine. "We almost became 'The Commodes.'"
Description: Celebrate the golden era of soul with this high-fidelity "Commodores" typographic tribute. From the deep funk of "Brick House" to the smooth sophistication of "Three Times a Lady," this design captures the visual essence of the Tuskegee-born legends. Featuring a vintage-distressed finish and a palette inspired by 70s record sleeves, this asset is a high-authority centerpiece for any soul music connoisseur or retro-funk enthusiast.
