The song produced by Quincy Jones continues to inspire unity today.

Drie kratjes bier en twee flessen spa blauw. Dat is de rider van deze bescheiden molenaarszoon uit Olst: Hendrik Jan Bökkers.  Als klein jochie met cowboyhoed en gefiguurzaagde gitaar speelt hij Normaal na en dat blijft hij doen totdat Bökkers op eigen benen staat. Tussendoor is hij ook nog gitarist bij de legendarische band Jovink en de Voederbietels. In het rurale Ruurlo vertelt hij over inspiratiebronnen als Johnny Cash, Brothers Osborne en Hayes Carll, kijkt hij regelmatig shows van countryartiesten als Dolly Parton en Kenny Rogers, omdat over elk detail wordt nagedacht en probeert hij daar voor zijn eigen band lering uit te trekken. Bökkers maakt zelfs een Nedersaksische versie van Cash' Cocaine Blues. Ook in deze aflevering: de cowboy song én muziek van Kip Moore, tekenend voor een donkere periode in het leven van Bökkers, die veel Nederlanders tegenwoordig kennen als Dinant Ottink uit Woeste Grond.

Il était une fois la Motown, probablement la plus belle légende à raconter pour une firme de disques, familiale, avec un patriarche au milieu, démarrant dans une ville improbable, Détroit, la cité de l'automobile. Succès gigantesque dès le début des années 60, on ne compte plus les noms des stars qui en sortent : Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, les Temptations, Four Tops, Supremes, Diana Ross, les Jackson Five, les Commodores. Mais voilà, au début des années 80, la musique noire explose sur la scène mondiale avec la fin du disco. Le monde s'est mis à danser et la Motown, portée par le retour inespéré de Diana Ross et de Stevie Wonder qui avaient été en retrait durant la mode disco, ne voit pas venir l'essoufflement de ses troupes. C'est vrai qu'ils sont tous là depuis les sixties. C'est aussi le cas pour les Commodores, alors Berry leur conseille de prendre une année sabbatique. Ca ne pouvait pas mieux tomber pour Lionel qui multiplie alors les collaborations et bascule du côté blanc du métier. En 1982 son premier album solo qui ne doit n'être qu'une parenthèse, sort chez A&M, une firme de Los Angeles, celle qui édite, entre autres, The Police, LE groupe du moment. Lionel ne reviendra pas dans le giron des Commodores et de la Motown, ils vont devoir continuer sans lui.Oui, le métier du disque a changé. Terminée la toute puissance des firmes du nord-est New York, Chicago, Detroit, tout se joue désormais à Los Angeles. Et c'est là que se trouve Lionel, avec son ami Michael Jackson. On comprend qu'il ait été vite question quand il a été demandé au duo de copains Lionel Richie et Kenny Rogers de faire une chanson pour l'Ethiopie en 1985, d'aller chercher Michael et Quincy Jones. Et quarante ans après, on a du mal à imaginer combien Lionel Richie, associé à Michael Jackson et Kenny Rogers, pesait lourd sur le marché mondial du disque. Ils cumulent à eux trois 800 millions de disques vendus. Aux JO de Los Angeles, qui invite les athlètes et le monde entier à faire la fête toute la nuit, c'est Lionel, qui aura récolté 15 hits mondiaux en solo sans compter les collaborations ni le fameux We are the world.C'est là qu'on va comprendre pourquoi Lionel Richie reste un des artistes phare des années 80, il marque une pause pour profiter de la vie et aussi pour d'autres raisons matrimoniales. Mais comme souvent, s'arrêter, c'est laisser le monde changer sans vous et donc, vous oublier. C'est ce qui est arrivé. Revenu en 1996, Lionel Richie ne retrouvera pas le chemin des sommets, ni avec cet album, ni avec les suivants. N'empêche l'histoire est belle, elle a été longue, et aujourd'hui, Lionel Richie fait à nouveau recette avec un public qui prend en compte la carrière d'un artiste plus que le succès du moment, conscient de la futilité d'un tube qui bien souvent, est sans lendemain.

Une guitare légère au son très large, un groove rond, le son des Commodores est à nul autre pareil, il colle aux années 70 comme un film de l'Inspecteur Harry. Et quand vient le basculement dans les années 80 et que le disco disparaît, l'Europe alors totalement conquise par la soul music découvre les trois plus grands groupes américains d'un genre jusque-là confidentiel, le funk : ils se nomment Earth Wind & Fire, les Jacksons et bien sûr les Commodores. Mais étonnamment, aussi énorme que soit le son de ce qui est déjà leur dixième album et la qualité des chansons, les Commodores sont à la traîne, complètement éclipsés derrière les deux autres. Et doit-on parler du succès de Michael Jackson en solo !Alors en 1982, le groupe décide d'une pause, après quinze années de tournées et de disques non stop. Pour la première fois, il va y avoir une année sans album des Commodores. Est-ce un hasard si c'est celle où paraît le Thriller de Michael Jackson, qui est l'ami et le cadet de Lionel Richie, il a neuf ans de moins que lui, ce qui, quand on a 24 ans, compte quand même ! On dit toujours qu'il n'y a pas de hasard. Un plus tôt, était sorti un single du chanteur country Kenny Rogers, un concept qui semble fou au départ puisqu'il s'agit de métisser ce genre 100% blanc avec la musique soul. Et qui a été le plus grand crooner côté black dans les années 70 ? Lionel Richie des Commodores. Ecrire pour un autre ne lui pose pas de problème, il le fait pour Walter Orange l'autre chanteur des Commodores et a déjà eu un N°1 avec une chanson écrite pour les Temptations. Et puis c'est dans ce registre que les deux hommes peuvent se rencontrer le plus facilement. Et c'est vrai que cette année-là, quand on a entendu Lady pour la première fois à la radio, on a eu une hésitation. C'est Lionel Richie, ah non, si, non. C'est le jackpot, pour la première fois, une chanson est N°1 dans les quatre catégories du Billboard américain : Adult, R&B, Country et bien sûr, le Hot 100, celui qui cumule tout. De là à inspirer Michael Jackson dans sa quête de conquérir le public blanc, il n'y a qu'un pas.Mais Lionel Richie n'en reste pas là car il se fend aussi d'un duo avec la meilleure amie de Michael, Diana Ross, dont la carrière a été reboostée par la pléiade de tubes offerts par le groupe chic, nouveau et dernier groupe noir américain à avoir conquis le public blanc. En plus, c'est la chanson d'un film avec Brooke Shields, tiens, tiens. Oui, il y a une voie royale qui vient de s'ouvrir au discret Lionel Richie. Son heure est venue. Il vient d'ailleurs d'être pris en charge par le manager de Kenny Rogers, un blanc qui tient le métier du disque à Los Angeles dans les mains. Un gars sympa qui n'a pas la grosse tête car elle est bien faite et qui lui a tenu ces propos : “Tu vois, Lionel, ton problème, c'est que les gens connaissent tes chansons mais pas ton nom. Je vais régler ça.” Lionel ne retournera jamais chez les Commodores.

Lionel Richie est une des grandes figures de la musique populaire. Une évidence. Le crooner noir qui sait aussi bien écrire des chansons qu'il les chante, et qu'on a tous immédiatement en tête. Des chansons des années 80, une étiquette qu'il doit au succès gigantesque qu'il a remporté durant cette décennie qu'il a marquée d'or et de diamant avec Michael Jackson, Prince et Whitney Houston. Et pourtant, comme Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie est au départ un artiste des années 70. Un de ces musiciens qui a marqué la soul à une époque où le marché du disque est encore séparé, où les Afro Américains possèdent leurs propres charts, leurs propres émissions de télé et radio. Il y a certes un public blanc pour acheter leurs disques mais la grande majorité ne semble pas concernée avant l'arrivée d'un Barry White qui reste longtemps une exception dans le paysage. Oui, la soul music reste quelque part dans l'ombre des grands jazzmen comme Miles Davis qui ont réussi dans le passé à briser le mur mais à la fin des années 70, avec la folie du disco, les choses semblent changer, le mur est en train de se fissurer, chose dont le jeune Michael Jackson, vingt ans mais déjà plus de dix années de métier, compte bien profiter. Michael veut devenir N°1 en conquérant le public blanc car oui, c'est possible. Ainsi le chanteur country, Kenny Rogers, immense star américaine, ne vient-il pas en 1980 de faire un immense tube avec une chanson écrite et produite par Lionel Richie.Lionel Richie, c'est le type que personne n'a vu venir. A la fin des années 60, s'il forme un groupe avec des copains, c'est parce que ça le fait auprès des filles de jouer de la musique dans un band. Lionel n'est pas le chanteur, non, c'est Walter, la voix groove des Commodores. Car le truc de Lionel, c'est sa voix suave pour chanter les slows, le reste du temps, il souffle dans son saxophone. Et ça marche. Enfin, ça marche, … gentiment. Pas comme les Jackson Five qui sont les stars de la Motown, le label de disques soul sur lequel ils ont signé eux aussi. Les cinq premiers singles des Jackson Five sont N°1, du jamais vu depuis les Beatles, alors en concert, ce sont les Commodores qui ouvrent les spectacles avant les frères Jackson. Mais avec le temps ils deviennent un sacré groupe de scène et ô surprise, en 1974, ça y est, ils tiennent leur premier tube, dans les charts R'N'B mais quand même, c'est un sacré marché et un sacré groove ce Machine Gun. Lionel aligne alors chaque année un ou deux succès par album des Commodores dont un inévitable slow qu'on se surprend à espérer à chaque sortie comme cet extraordinaire Still, en 1977, sur ce qui est déjà leur cinquième album.

Kim Carnes never set out to be a pop star. In fact, if you asked her in the early days, she'd probably tell you she just wanted to write songs. But life had a way of nudging her toward the spotlight, and before she knew it, she was belting out hits that defined an era. Growing up in Los Angeles, Kim was the kind of kid who could lose herself in a song, spending hours at the piano, crafting melodies. She started as a songwriter, penning tunes for others long before the world ever heard her own husky, unmistakable voice. Her first real break came when she landed a songwriting contract in the late ‘60s. It wasn't long before people started to notice that this young woman wasn't just writing good songs—she had a voice that could make them unforgettable.In the ‘70s, Kim found herself working with some of the best. She teamed up with David Essex. Their friendship led to collaboration. She also became close with Kenny Rogers. Kim co-wrote Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer with her husband, Dave Ellingson, and when she and Kenny recorded it as a duet in 1980, magic happened. But it was Bette Davis Eyes that changed everything. The song was originally recorded by Jackie DeShannon in the mid-'70s. But when Kim got her hands on it, she and producer Val Garay transformed it into something completely new. The arrangement was stripped down, the synths were bold, and Kim's raw, smoky vocals carried a haunting kind of power."When I first heard Jackie's version, I loved it," Kim says. "But it was so different from what we ended up doing. The minute we started playing around with it, I knew we had something special. That intro, those drums, the way it just pulls you in—I still get chills when I hear it."When Bette Davis Eyes hit the airwaves in 1981, it was like a shockwave. It climbed the charts fast, sitting at No. 1 for nine weeks—longer than any other song that year. It wasn't just a hit; it was THE hit. Even Bette Davis herself loved it, sending Kim flowers and thanking her for the song that made her a household name all over again. "Getting that letter from Bette Davis was surreal," Kim recalls. "She was so gracious, so kind. She told me she played the song at her parties, which just blew my mind."Kim could have ridden that wave forever, but she was never one to rest on past success. She kept writing, kept recording, and kept working with the people she admired. One of those people was Barbra Streisand."Barbra is a force," Kim says. "When we worked together on Make No Mistake, He's Mine, I knew I had to bring my A-game. She has this presence—she knows exactly what she wants, and she'll work until it's perfect. And that's why she's Barbra Streisand."The song felt like a conversation between two women who knew exactly what heartbreak sounded like. Their voices blended in an unexpected way—Barbra's controlled precision meeting Kim's gravelly warmth—and the result was stunning.Through the ‘80s and into the ‘90s, Kim remained a force in the industry, both as a performer and a songwriter. She wrote for some of the biggest artists out there, proving again and again that she had a gift not just for melody, but for telling stories that stuck with people.Fast forward to today, and Kim is still making music, still revisiting the songs that made her who she is. In 2024, she released Bette Davis Eyes (Kim's Version), a new take on her signature song. This wasn't just a rehash—it was a love letter to the original, re-recorded with some of the same musicians who helped shape it the first time around. "I wanted to do it justice," Kim explains. "I wasn't interested in just re-recording it for the sake of it. I wanted to feel that magic again."And the response? Incredible. Looking back, Kim Carnes' career wasn't about chasing fame—it was about making music that mattered. Whether writing for others or stepping up to the microphone herself, she's always been an artist first. And that's exactly why, all these years later, we're still listening.

Dave and Milt take a trip back to February 2nd, 1980, to review and critique the Billboard Top 10 hits of that week.

I have always been driven by three principles in life and business. Although I have not always been 100% successful in adhering to them, I have noticed that I am 1000 times happier and more successful when I do.   First, life is about motion, emotion, promotion, commotion, and finally, ethical motivation! “When you stop learning, you stop earning.” I have loved learning from others, and I believe that when you teach others, you learn twice as much, twice as fast! Second, it's advice from Kenny Rogers. “You've got to know when to hold 'em,  Know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away, And know when to run.” All that motion, emotion, promotion, commotion, and ethical motivation will never change the cards you are dealt. Third, it's part biblical and for the Byrds: “To everything (turn, turn, turn) / There is a season (turn, turn, turn) / And a time for every purpose under heaven.” 2014 was my turn to start a podcast, and 2024 (now 2025) is my turn to explore better ways to serve you… my people, fans, and audience!

Kenny Rogers

We were listening to some Kenny Rogers records with our buddy Adam Carrolla when Adam revealed the true story behind the music. It seems Kenny had a bit of a morbid streak on some of his hits, like "Ruby" and "Coward Of The County" which tell dark tales that we have a good laugh at! John's even got a theory that Kenny Rogers was influential in the beginnings of Gangsta Rap, which Adam, being the expert on all things gangsta, can confirm.   Thanks for joining us for this week's #JCWPodcast #JCWArchive.

Just before Christmas 1984, Harry Belafonte wanted US artists (and especially black artists) to create a charity album to benefit starving people in Africa as the Do They Know It's Christmas single by the days most popular UK bands was a huge success. He teamed up with manager to the stars Ken Kragen to put together the team that would write and record the lead single. Immediately, Ken enlisted his client, Lionel Richie, to write the song. Lionel and Ken knew they'd need all-star producer Quincy Jones to put it all together. Quincy thought it would be a good idea to get the biggest pop star in the world, Michael Jackson, involved and things snowballed from there as Ken brought on legends like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Diana Ross, Kenny Rogers, Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and artists that were popular at the time like Billy Joel, Kim Carnes, Cindy Lauper, Huey Lewis and more. But how would they get all that talent in one room at one time? Ken devised the idea that so many would be in LA for the American Music Awards on January 28, 1985 so that would be the ideal time. But that was 5 weeks away!!! So Ken went about finding the venue and Lionel and Michael worked on the song. It was all kept very hush hush and even the artists didn't know where they were going after the AMAs until they were on the way. And to make the night even more stressful for Lionel, he was hosting the AMAs and was performing twice (not to mention collecting 6 awards that night). The documentary was a fascinating glimpse into one special night where all egos were put aside in order to record a special song for a worthy cause.
