Lionel Richie’s honeyed tones have festooned the radiofrequencies of millions of soul and R&B music stations around the globe. His famous songs, Hello, Truly, Three Times A Lady and Say You, Say Me have been conferred with the evergreen status and have promoted him to celebrity status. He initially forged a successful career with the Commodores and then went on to have a successful solo career.

A Grammy Award-recipient, Richie is considered one of the most successful singer-songwriters of the 20th century, with most of his songs peaking on important music charts. After a long and successful spell with the Commodores, he began writing and producing country hits and ended up becoming one of the most popular artists of his time.
