Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing 'Cause everything's gonna be alright
1973 
1992 A cathedral built from a Latin piano vamp, a structure where worry cannot find a foothold. The clavinet holds the center, daring the future to arrive unarmed. Everything will work out.
Stevie Wonder released it on his 1973 album "Innervisions". Incognito covered it on their 1991 album "Inside Life" on Verve Forecast, rewiring the cathedral with acid-jazz horns and Caribbean percussion.
But let me tell you it's better than digging a ditch
1976 A job at the car wash pays the bills. Music keeps everyone moving. Get up and do it again. Dancing while working makes the hours disappear. Not everybody needs a corner office. Some people just need a steady gig and a song to keep going.
'Three Times a Lady' plays over teenage heartbreak at a roller rink. The Commodores wrote a song so tender it almost does not belong in a movie about kids on skates. But heartbreak at sixteen is not small. It is the end of the world every time.
'Brick House' comes later when the same kids learn to be ridiculous and loud and alive. Two moods. One film. The Commodores understood being young and Black in the 70s. Love is sacred. The body is a party. You get to be both.
