Midnight Magic is the seventh studio album by the musical group the Commodores, released in 1979.
[4] Midnight Magic was Grammy nominated in the category of Best R&B Performance by a Duo, Group or Chorus.
And as usual, the Commodores' ability to span a wide stylistic range and to avoid some of the more tired cliches of black vocal instrumental groups is extremely refreshing.
"[9] Smash Hits called it, "solid professional funk, but still faceless and only moderately entertaining - mainly because of a distinct threadbareness in the melody department.
"[10] The Bay State Banner noted that "the vocals, it is true, are rather toneless—grouped together in the mix, the textural interest of a single throat is erased—but the rhythm section plays with verve through unusual chordings that oddly parallel the vocal register.
