Heroes

Commodores

The band moves away from their horn-heavy funk roots toward gospel-infused ballads. This shift is punctuated by the spiritual epic Jesus Is Love, which displays their range.

Released at the turn of the decade, the album marks a move toward sophisticated pop. It functions as a pivot point between their earlier dance-floor identity and the refined career paths that followed.
