    A very wonderful reaction 🌹! I see 👁👁 that you have reacted to Lionel Richie as a solo artist before: All Night Long and Penny Lover. Hello was released as the third single from Lionel Richie's 1983 album: Can't Slow Down. It was written by Lionel Richie. It was produced by Lionel Richie and James Anthony Carmichael. The song reached #1 on the Cash Box 100, #1 on the R&B chart #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart, and #1 on the Hot 100. It also reached #1 in Canada, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, UK, New Zealand and Australia. It was Billboard's #7 ranked Hot 100 song for 1984.
    The music video was directed by Bob Giraldi and featured actress Laura Carrington as the blind art student. Lionel Richie plays a teacher: Mr Reynolds, who falls in love with a blind pottery student, Laura. When he looks in at her class, he finds that she has made a perfect clay model of his head. During the making of the video, Richie protested to the director Bob Giraldi that the story about the blind woman had no relationship to the song. Bob Giraldi replied to him: "You're not creating the story, I am".
    The music video was voted the worst music video of all time in a poll of 8,000 music fans by UK TV music channel The Box, but Bob Giraldi, who also directed Michael Jackson's music vdieo for his song: "Beat It", stands by it. He's quoted in the book: I Want My MTV, as saying: "I came up with the idea of a blind girl and Lionel as a teacher. 'Hello' is one of the top videos ever". Bob Giraldi added that Lionel Richie was concerned that the bust didn't look like him, until Bob Giraldi pointed out that the girl making it was supposed to be blind.
    When he was young, Lionel Richie watched beautiful women walk past but was too shy to talk to them. He thought to himself: "Hello, is it me you're looking for". Years later he started to write a song using the phrase but got stuck and gave up, but his record producer liked the line and urged him to finish it. Lionel Richie had this song written for his first solo album: Lionel Richie (1982), but he left it off. His wife at the time Brenda Richie loved the song, and insisted he include it on his second album: Can't Slow Down (1983).
    When you think of Motown Records, you probably think of Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson and The Temptations, but Lionel Richie was also one of their biggest stars, and his single: "Hello", was one of their biggest hits, especially in Britain. It was Motown Records' first ever million selling single in the UK.
    In 1984, the songwriter Marjorie White sued Lionel Richie, claiming that his song: "Hello", was based on her 1978 song: "I'm Not Ready To Go". However, he won the eventual court case.
    The song has been covered by many artists including 📻: Luther Vandross, Eddie Lovette, Shirley Bassey, Mireille Mathieu, Jordie Wes, Paul Anka, Richard Clayderman, Salena Jones, Bobbi Humphrey, Miles Rodgers, Lena Teigen, Sharon Cuneta, Richard Cheese and more.

    Lyrics🗒:
    I've been alone with you inside my mind
    And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
    I sometimes see you pass outside my door
    Hello, is it me you're looking for?
    I can see it in your eyes
    I can see it in your smile
    You're all I've ever wanted, and my arms are open wide
    'Cause you know just what to say
    And you know just what to do
    And I want to tell you so much
    I love you
    I long to see the sunlight in your hair
    And tell you time and time again how much I care
    Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
    Hello, I've just got to let you know
    'Cause I wonder where you are
    And I wonder what you do
    Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
    Tell me how to win your heart
    For I haven't got a clue
    But let me start by saying
    I love you
    Hello, is it me you're looking for?
    'Cause I wonder where you are
    And I wonder what you do
    Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
    Tell me how to win your heart
    For I haven't got a clue
    But let me start by saying
    I love you
