- "Easy" es una canción de The Commodores publicada en 1977 por la compañía Motown, pertenece a su álbum epónimo "Commodores". Escrita por el cantante y líder de la banda Lionel Richie, la canción, es una lenta balada que convina con la música country. La letra de la canción no habla de una amante despechado, que ha sido victima del termino de una relación romantica con su pareja. Pero en lugar de estar deprimido por esa situación, el narrador cuenta que ha sido fácil superarlo ("easy like Sunday morning. ") En la parte musical, esta canción cuenta con un maginifico solo de guitarra y unas armonias vocales en el coro que le dan un toque poco usado en esas baladas de aquella década. Un canción digna para escuchar tranquilo en la casa, con una simpleza musical notable pero efectiva para cualquier melómano. Esta canción, lanzada en Marzo de 1977, fue realmente como un salvavidas para la banda oriunda de Detroit, ya que debido al fracaso en las radios de su canción "Just To Be Close to You", Richie tuvo que apurarse en escribir una canción que lograra el éxito deseado por la discográfica y la banda. Luego de varios intentos creativos, llegó a componer "Easy" con la cual llegó al numero uno en el Billboard R&B, y al cuarto puesto en el Billboard Hot 100.

Rather than being depressed about the break-up, he states that he is instead "easy like Sunday morning. " Richie wrote "Easy" with the intention of it becoming another crossover hit for the group, given the success of a previous single, "Just to Be Close to You", which spent 2 weeks at #1 on the Billboard R&B chart and peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop charts in 1976. Released in March 1977, "Easy" reached #1 on the Billboard R&B chart, and #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The success of "Easy" paved the way for similar Richie-composed hit ballads such as "Three Times a Lady" and "Still" and also for Richie's later solo hits. The song is noted for a feedback noise, with an echo, that is heard in the Bridge of the song. Also, an electric guitar solo dominates the instrumental portion of the song. In addition, the other Commodores are heard singing wordless harmonies during the Chorus of the song. The edited version receives the most airplay. The longer version from the album features the chorus being repeated more times, a half step up, from A Flat Major to A Major, a few times before it fades out. The song appears on the game Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol.
