@ChipMiller

This was my very first music video production.  I met with The Commodores who had just broken up with Lionel Ritchie and were on the verge of losing their record label deal at Motown.  We all put our heads together and they came up with the dollars to do a simple, low budget music video.  My former partner and I, Janet Flora, produced the clip, and brought in a fledgling commercial director (at the time) to helm.  Shot it all on a soundstage in West LA, in one day, this video went to Number One on the TV Guide MTV Top Ten Charts.  We followed up with a second music video, "Animal Instinct."

@ChipMiller

***** Yeah, they were pretty miserly and greedy, though they did break some amazing artists.  Over the years, I directed a half ozen videos for Motown, and they were okay to work with.  The artists though, were always great to work with.  Chip

@popejeffthefirst

Chip Miller Oooooooooooooh man....I, and others - I'm sure, would love to know what this "Wayne Review" said. Please copy and paste his bullshit. 

@ChipMiller

Jeff Hanson I have no idea who that moron was, but he ran no photo or gave no info on himself.  He said shit that if we were in the same room, my New Jersey roots would have kicked in and I would've put him on his ass.  He was just insulting, cursing, and made no sense at all.  I already reported him to Youtube, and as soon as we load our masters of "Nightshift" onto Youtube, we will call for his post to be shut down for copyright infringement, as well as to suspend him for "hateful language" and "derogatory remarks.  Thanks though for your supportive message.  Peace, Chip

@TheOutlawsChick

I sooo love this song, Chip, thank you for creating this with them.  The first time I heard it, my first husband, also a musician, had just passed.  It lifted me up and took away the pain, for the time being.  It does so each time I hear it.  God bless.

@robertp2852

Chip..incredible job.The  final scene with the close up  of King and Orange singing ,the light of the mics everything just  sends chills up the spine.

@shivgohil4644

My dad has the extended 12" single of this song. Around 20 years ago he started moving his vinyls to CD's, I pretty much heard his entire singles collection over an entire month blasting at full volume in our house as he transferred them across. I knew half of the songs, but the one that I'll never forget hearing for the 1st time is 'Nightshift'. My dad loves his hi-fi and invested in having the best possible sound he could afford and the production of this song really comes across when you have a high end sound system. The percussion and harmonies are so superior and so organic, If you have a music streaming service, listen to this song with the highest quality bitrate, close your eyes and enjoy a masterpiece.

Whats even better is the meaning of the song, the lyrics are a perfect homage to Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson, they refer to their songs so many times...and even better...'Nightshift' means 'heaven' and when you listen to the song with that in mind, its a whole new song.

JUST WOW!

@giladpallaeon2426

I agree in a way. I think - and this may sound stupid at first - it is because of the digitalism / internet that this feelings are a thing of the past. We just did not know didn't we? We knew so so little about everything. We read it in the paper, we heard it on the radio or saw it on MTV and such. The world just was a lot slower. News traveled so slow. Today we know everything. We've seen it all ... it is just an endless repetitive datastream bringing us nothing new. We long to see something real; something really new. But bits and bytes cover everything in a millisecond. Books, movies, shows, music, news, shopping, sharing pictures ... an endless ocean of 0 and 1 that makes just no difference. It like at the end of The Truman-Show: The last episodes has ended ... what's next?

And I work in software development and grew up in the 80s ...

It was written by Lionel Richie for the Commodores.

@patricktugume276

"Nightshift" is a 1985 song by the Commodores and the title track from their eleventh album of the same name. The song was written by lead singer Walter Orange in collaboration with Dennis Lambert and Franne Golde, as a tribute to soul/R&B singers Jackie Wilson and Marvin Gaye, both of whom died in 1984. The first verse mentions Gaye's song "What's Going On", while the second verse mentions Jackie Wilson's "Lonely Teardrops", ("Say you will")

I'm really missing the '60s '70s and '80s at this moment. It was a time when people had to have real talent to make it but in cafes, you could get stage time. Not like today where the music industry is run by corporate marketers and $$ motivated product designers. Back then music was mostly created, not manufactured. Every generation has its high points. Back then music was honest and real, and if you chose the right groups it promoted fun & hippie love. It was an amazing time for growing up. It was an amazing time for music. I still play this noise in my home all day long. :)
