Commodores – Animal Instinct (US 12″ Promo)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

REQUEST

The Commodores made one final stab at regaining R&B glory when Lionel Richie and producer/arranger James Anthony Carmichael both left in the mid-’80s. J.D. Nicholas became their lead singer, and Dennis Lambert assumed production duties.

“Animal Instinct” was the second single released from the album Nightshift. Regarded as an out-of-the-ordinary track for the Commodores, “Animal Instinct,” featuring Orange on lead vocals, was released almost six months after the hit “Nightshift,” and petered out at #22 on the R&B charts, while only making it to #43 on the US pop charts and #74 in the UK.
