The Commitments are a fictional Irish soul band from the 1991 film of the same name. The band was formed by Jimmy Rabbitte Jr., a young music fan who dreams of starting his own soul band. Jimmy recruits a group of talented musicians from his local community, including Deco Cuffe, Joey "The Lips" Fagan, Outspan Foster, and Imelda Quirke. The Commitments quickly become a local sensation, but their success is threatened by Jimmy's ego and the band's lack of discipline. Despite these challenges, The Commitments manage to record a hit album and perform on a national television show. Their story is a classic tale of ambition, talent, and the power of music.
