“Three Times a Lady” by The Commodores is a heartfelt ballad written by Lionel Richie. The song’s inspiration came from a speech Richie’s father gave at his parents’ 37th wedding anniversary, where he expressed his deep appreciation for his wife, calling her a great lady, mother, and friend. This touching moment led Richie to write the song as a tribute to both his wife and his mother.

The phrase “three times a lady” signifies the multiple roles and immense value of the women in his life, celebrating their love, support, and companionship. The song became a major hit, cementing Richie’s reputation as a master of love ballads.

Lionel Richie, both together with the Commodores and alone, sang some beautiful ballads indeed.
