Midnight Magic (album)


Midnight Magic is the seventh studio album by the musical group the Commodores, released in 1979. The album was certified Gold in the UK by the BPI.

Critical reception

The New York Times stated "the Commodores, too, have their disco‐dance numbers. But this group's principal appeal would seem to be its ability to come up with classy “makeout” music. The new “Midnight Magic,” which is moving up the album charts quickly, will disappoint no one in search of just that. And as usual, the Commodores’ ability to span a wide stylistic range and to avoid some of the more tired cliches of black vocalinstrumental groups is extremely refreshing.

Singles

A song called "Still" became the band's second U.S. #1 single. Another single was the #4 hit "Sail On".
