"Easy" is a song by American #funk and soul band #Commodores from their fifth studio album, Commodores (1977), released on the #Motown label. Group member #LionelRichie wrote "Easy" with the intention of it becoming another crossover hit for the group given the success of a previous single, "#JustToBeCloseToYou", which spent two weeks at number one on the US #Billboard #HotSoulSingles chart (now known as the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saaLW0jiiUE

This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #thebubble, songs that make you forget everything around you. Somewhat paradoxically - given the lyrical content - this one does it for me: Marvin Gaye: What's Going On (1971) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-kA3UtBj4M #marvingaye #motown #tamla #motown

"Boogie On Reggae Woman" is a 1974 #funk song by #American #Motown artist #StevieWonder, released as the second #single from his seventeenth studio album, #FulfillingnessFirstFinale, issued that same year. Despite the song's title, its style is firmly funk/#RAndB and neither #boogie nor #reggae. It continued Wonder's successful Top Ten streak on the #popCharts, reaching number three and also spent two weeks at number one on the #soulCharts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYqovSobZTc
