Featured in TIR Episode 242 (Part 1 of 2): Longtime former Commodores bassist and composer Ronald LaPread! From 1970-1986, he set down the rhythmic foundation for one of the greatest and most popular funk, R&B and pop bands of all time. 

During that period, the group recorded more than a dozen successful albums – at their peak having four straight reach No. 1 R&B, and that included 23 Top 25 R&B singles and 16 Top 40 pop hits. Among those songs and other favorites were “I Feel Sanctified,” “Machine Gun,” “Slippery When Wet,” “This Is Your Life,” “Sweet Love,” “Gimme My Mule,” “Fancy Dancer,” “Just to Be Close to You,” “High on Sunshine,” “Brick House,” “Easy,” “Zoom,” “Funky Situation,” “Too Hot to Trot,” “Three Times a Lady,” “Sail On,” “Still,” “Old-Fashion Love,” “Lady (You Bring Me Up” and “Oh No.” 

Since the late 1980s, LaPread has lived in New Zealand, where he joins us from here. Special thanks to Eric Parker for helping set this up.
