About Lionel Richie

Spanning over 3 decades in the American music industry, Lionel Richie is a stellar artist that has left his marks in the sands of time. Known by many for his 1985 single with Micheal Jackson, titled We Are The World, it doesn't seem doesn't seem like he intends to match a brake on his musical career.

To the surprise of many, growing up, Richie didn't undergo any lessons in music class, nor did he have the zeal to compose songs. But with his 74-year-old grandmother blessed with the talent of playing the piano, boldly curated his mental shift into music.

One of Richie's strong points is his vocal talent. His strength in playing the saxophone and keyboard came to light in his happy days at Tuskegee University. It was in the institution that the father of three gained some collaboration with friends who broadened his love for R&B music. The group hit the name Commodores in 1968, and it didn't take ages before they became the talk of the town.

Lionel's career heightened with one of his debut tracks, Happy People, which he dropped in 1970. The song proved a commercial success, trading about 20 million copies worldwide. Since then, Lionel Richie's success story has been one to reckon with.
