Why it is here
- Richie wrote "Easy" hoping to give the Commodores another crossover hit following the success of "Just to Be Close to You," which had topped the Hot Soul Singles chart and reached number seven on the Hot 100. source
- The song's ballad about relief after a breakup, with its 'easy like Sunday morning' refrain, was described by Richie as evoking the feel of small Southern towns like his hometown of Tuskegee, Alabama. source
- The track has been sampled by Geto Boys on "Six Feet Deep" (1993) and by Cam'ron on "Hey Ma" (2002). source
