Oh No in 1981 was whose last hit with the band he'd been with since 1968, before his successful solo career?
Oh No (Commodores song) "Oh No" is an R&B ballad from the 1981 Commodores album "In the Pocket". Written by Lionel Richie, the song was released as a single in 1981, being his last hit with the Commodores before going solo.
Farewell My Love "Farewell My Love" is a 1963 single by The Temptations for the Gordy (Motown) label. It was the last single that was written and produced by Motown president Berry Gordy for well over a decade, and the last released during the period of the "Original 5" lineup (before member Elbridge "Al" Bryant was fired). It is also noted as the group's last single to miss the "Billboard" pop chart's Top 40 until 1971's "It's Summer" (and the last to not make it on any U.S. music charts for the next 23 years). Up until now the group was jokingly referred to at this time as the "Hitless Temptations" by the Motown staff, much like their "sister" group, The Supremes, were called the "no-hit Supremes". However, their next single, the Smokey Robinson-produced "The Way You Do the Things You Do", would reach the Top 20 of the U.S. pop chart, breaking the group's streak of being "hitless".
