Commodores – In The Pocket (LP, Album, Club Edition, Terre Haute Pressing, 1981, Motown M8-955M1)

Why This Record Matters
In The Pocket captures the Commodores during their early 1980s crossover period, blending funk, soul, and polished disco-influenced production. “Lady (You Bring Me Up)” and “Oh No” helped maintain the group’s strong mainstream radio presence following Lionel Richie’s rise as a lead vocalist and songwriter.
