When the Commodores' seventh studio album, Midnight Magic, came out in 1979, one could safely assume that the LP would contain at least one adult contemporary ballad. And sure enough, Midnight Magic contains the ballad "Still," which was a number one pop hit (as well as a number one R&B hit) and became a staple on adult contemporary radio

Midnight Magic capped off the Commodores at the height of their career. With each of their previous albums, their sound was continually evolving, starting with Hot on the Tracks. So in this effort, it followed '78's Natural High smoothly. One of the things that has become common by this time is that the Commodores has a theme of finishing the first side of their albums with what has become their signature ballads, starting with the Movin' On album ("Sweet Love"). The trend continues with "Still" closing side one here  . Definitely a solid album throughout, this along with all the previous albums are a good listen. Heroes and In the Pocket would follow this, being the last two to feature Richie as a member.
