Nightshift est la face A d'un 45 tours comportant en face B la chanson I Keep Running. Le titre et les paroles de la chanson sont dédiés à deux chanteurs majeurs de rhythm and blues : Jackie Wilson et Marvin Gaye morts tous deux l'année précédente. Ce titre est le plus gros succès du groupe après le départ de Lionel Richie.

Il remporte en 1986 le Grammy Award de la « meilleure chanson R&B en duo ou en groupe ».

Les Commodores enregistrent une nouvelle version de la chanson en 2010 dédicacée à Michael Jackson, après sa mort.

Paroles

Marvin
He was a friend of mine
And he could sing his song
His heart in every line

Marvin
Sang of the joy and pain
He opened up our mind
And I still can hear him say

"Oh, talk to me
So you can see what's goin' on"
Say you will sing your songs
For evermore, evermore

Gonna be some sweet sounds
Coming down on the nightshift
I bet you're singing proud
Oh, I bet you'll pull a crowd

Gonna be a long night
It's gonna be all right
On the nightshift
You found another home
I know you're not alone
On the nightshift, oh
You found another home
I know you're not alone
On the nightshift

Jackie
Mmm, hey, what you doing now?
It seems like yesterday
When we were workin' out

Jackie
Whoa, you set the world on fire
You came and gifted us
Your love it lifted us higher and higher

Keep it up
And we'll be there at your side
Oh-oh-oh, say you will
Sing your songs for evermore, evermore

Gonna be some sweet sounds
Comin' down on the nightshift
I bet you're singing proud
Ooh, I bet you'll pull a crowd

Gonna be a long night (gonna be a long night)
It's gonna be all right on the nightshift
You found another home
I know you're not alone
On the nightshift

Gonna be some sweet sounds (sweet sounds)
Comin' down on the nightshift (whoa, on the nightshift)
I bet you're singing proud (I know you're singing proud)
Ooh, I bet you'll pull a crowd (oh, yeah)

Gonna be a long night (gonna be all right)
It's gonna be all right on the nightshift (on the nightshift)
You found another home
I know you're not alone
On the nightshift

Gonna miss your sweet voice (sweet)
That soulful noise (soulful noise)
On the nightshift (nightshift, on the nightshift)
We all remember you (remember you, remember you)
Ooh, your songs are comin' through

At the end of a long day (a long day)
It's gonna be okay (okay)
On the nightshift (nightshift)
You found another home
I know you're not alone
On the nightshift

Gonna be some sweet sounds (sweet, sweet sounds)
Comin' down (comin' down)
On the nightshift (ooh, yeah)
I bet you're singing proud
