    I second all the votes for "Dancing on the Ceiling", as well as his immortal duet with Diana Ross, "Endless Love". But this is just the beginning of your Lionel journey. "Say You, Say Me" is a classic, as is "Running With the Night". Fun fact - this video was produced by Michael Nesmith of the Monkees!

    Guys, THIS SONG just so happened to be the theme song of the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles that year; Richie performed it with a huge crew of dancers for the closing ceremonies.
    Sometimes it helps to be old(er) with a good memory.

      I remember that closing ceremony performance, it started with a giant flying saucer hovering over over the L.A. Memorial Coliseum, as the space aliens made contact to find out what this Olympic "party" was all about. It ended with several hundred break dancers performing on the field to this song. A television spectacle seen by millions around the world, and helped make this a worldwide hit, one of the biggest of 1983-84.

    I was born in 1955 in Alabama, so I graduated high school in 1974. Loved the Commodores and Lionel Richie's music. But after hearing part of his story, I really admire him as a person. One of his band members (and his girlfriend) had a real problem with drugs. Lionel and his wife offered to take care of their daughter until they could get clean and back on their feet. From what I understand, that never happened and after a couple of years they legally adopted the little girl. I don't know if you have ever heard of her. Her name is Nicole Richie.

Growing up in the 80s, I am convinced it's THE best music, artists, movies and overall entertainment of any generation, and I actually stumbled across Jay's reactions while watching videos on UA-cam for the nostalgia of it.
    I found myself coming home after work, watching your reactions. Adding Amber took it a notch higher, because her emotional and genuine reactions add to what many of us who have loved this music for years is feeling...it's like sharing a genuine part of who we are with you guys.
    I still come home from work, sit down, and watch you guys experience a piece of myself, my heart, and who I am...it's truly a joy.
    Thank you Jay for also sharing yourself, your beautiful wife and kids with us. You named it correctly...cause after sharing so much of myself with you day in and day out, you guys truly are family. Much love from Dublin, Georgia.

    "Endless Love" - Lionel Richie and Diana Ross teamed up to produce what is easily in the top 5 of pop song duets of all time, if not the best ever. I highly recommend reacting to that song. In my estimation Richie is like Elvis and Billy Joel - A ton of hit songs, or even lesser known songs, you can review and get plenty of views. The number of quality songs Richie made/sang lead for from the 70s-80s is rivaled by very few singers. I have more personal favorites from ELO, John Denver, Marvin Gaye, The Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel, Sam Cooke, The Platters, and Dion and the Belmonts, but I can easily listen to almost any Lionel Richie song at any time with no gripes and it'll brighten my day. And, at the moment, I really can't think of another artist/group who offers as much of a sure thing.

    Oh you guys just HAVE TO react to his famous duet with Diana Ross titled, "Endless Love" (feat. in the movie of the same title). Oh, and y'all should also react to that movie as well. It is a classic love story. It was really, really good, and that's coming from a man who generally hates romance movies.
