What the bloody hell happens three minutes into Say You, Say Me? I mean it wasn't a great song anyway but this hot garbage won an Oscar.

I'd forgotten about 'Don't Wanna Lose You'! Saw the video to that quite a lot in '96, and it made the Top 20. I can still sing it in my head now even though I haven't heard it for 23 years.

Lionel Richie's stuff is wildly uneven to me, but I lean towards the Commodores hits. There's really not much by the post-Richie Commodores that I want to play, but I like "Night Shift" more than any of their previous hits except "Brick House."

(Even though those two do not have Richie on lead vocals, he's still THE guy in that group.)

"Night Shift" is a lovely neon puddle a-shimmer.

Even now I have to echo "Marvin... Marvin..." when I hear his name.

I still have no regrets about putting that song on the top of my ballot when we polled Motown a few years back.

The most charismatic and charming man I ever interviewed. Total classic, even the soppy stuff. Somebody needs to sing about endless love, and he's the master of it.

“Hello” is a masterpiece

"Easy" is undeniable.

Was in a supermarket last weekend and saw his face on the cover of People or similar and he pretty much looks the same these days.

The pulse in “Running With The Night” alone means Lionel will be forever classic

The end of the first verse of "Three Times a Lady" is my favourite Lionel Richie moment: "...I must say out loud...", goes to the discordant augmented (?) chord, and then hangs on it for an extra measure before the chorus. He knows he has you hooked, he can keep you listening through this strange chord.
