The ComodoresBand Name Origins:

Better Off Solo:
Name | New Career | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "Lionel Richie" | "The Commodores were unbelievably great. I wonder though, after Richie started to become famous with his own creations, how much of the Commodores have in reality been Richie, all the time. Our retrospect is forcibly distorted, but imagining Lionel Richie as "simply" the lead-singer in a band, be it a group like the Commodores, looks like an impossibility, to me." | - Athletic Ears |
| "Lionel Richie" | "He wasn't even the lead singer for the Commodores when he left them." | - soul ii |
