Lionel Richie Information
Lionel Brockman Richie Jr. is one of the most prolific musicians of the 80s. Popularly known as Lionel Richie, he is an American singer, songwriter, producer, and actor. He started gaining fame and influence in the music industry while still a member of the Commodores.
He joined the funk and soul band in 1968. The band went on to become a force to reckon with within the soul genre. Their earlier albums, like Machine Gun and Brick House, were funky and danceable. However, as time went by, Richie began drawing closer to a romantic and natural ballad.
This influence can be seen in the band’s songs Easy, Still, Three Times a Lady, and Sail On. In 1982, Richie decided to go at it alone, and in the same year, he released his debut solo album, Lionel Richie. The album had three of his greatest singles. "Honestly," which went on to peak at number one in the US and earned him a Grammy Award, You Are, and My Love.
The Lionel Richie album sold more than four million copies worldwide and became the number three album on the music charts. In 1983, he released a second album, Can’t Slow Down, which sold eight million copies and won him the Grammy Award for the Album of the Year. He also co-wrote the single We Are the World with the King of Pop Michael Jackson.
