The bridesmaid Lionel danced with was Sheila E. Also, The electric guitar solo on "Running with the Night" was played by Steve Lukather, best known as a member of the rock band Toto. Lukather sat down in the studio and the engineer played the basic tracks of the song, for him to hear for the first time, so he could plan his part. As the music played, he jammed along on his instrument. At the conclusion of the tune, he said to the engineer, "Okay, I'm ready for a take." The producer replied, "That was the take."
This is actually a truncated version of the solo at the end. The two-minute long solo is absolutely amazing. This was take ZERO. He was warming up. He didn't know they were rolling.
Yes, Steve Lukather from Toto did play on this track. He has a 2 minute solo at the end of the song. Luke said that he walked in and started playing and then told them he was ready to record it and they told him he was done. They had been recording him and he did it in one take. Amazing! That’s why he is so good! Fabulous guitarist!
Never realized the female in the video was legendary percussionist and vocalist Sheila E, which takes on added significance as she is the biological aunt of Lionel Richie’s daughter Nicole Richie whom Lionel, and his wife at the time, adopted.
I know I am late to this review, but what hasn't been mentioned is that the female lead in this video is Sheila E. Just before her music career started!
Woah, I totally forgot about this song! Man that brings me back to my childhood. I wonder if Michael Jackson got inspired by this video for Smooth Criminal, I see a lot of similarities.
A lot of people don't notice but Richard Marx was actually a backup singer in this song and if you look at the the credits you'll see his name on the background vocals but if you really pay attention you can hear his voice when he does sing in the background
Lionel singing "Love Will Find a Way", "Love Will Conquer All" "Ballerina Girl", "Lady, You Bring Me Up", "Dancing On the Ceiling", and him with The Commodores singing "Zoom", "Brick House" "Easy", "Night Shift" "Three Times a Lady" and "Jesus Is Love".
Such a great reaction channel. Thank you for doing these. Would you mind doing a reaction to the Commodores Night Shift? It's one of my favourite tracks of all time. It really is a beautiful jam.
There are few Male artists who had Solo Careers as big as Michael Jackson. But Lionel Richie would be on that list. Along with Prince, Phil Collins and George Michael.
The lonely lady at the wedding is played by singer/drummer extraordinaire Sheila E. I love Sheila but vocally she is not on the level of artists you review, but her drumming cannot be questioned. Check out her Glamorous Life(Live 1985) performance. The woman lighting the cigarette in the first couple on the street is actress Lynn Whitfield. As for Lionel he still sells out stadium size crowds overseas. Do check out Lady, and Endless love duet with Dianna Ross. Lionel has an endless catalog of hits, mostly ballads. Enjoy some Lionel.
How can this be the first time you have ever heard this song?????? Been out for over 30 years, Plus still plays on radio, in Shopping Centres/Malls, in peoples cars, outside houses, at parties + music video was aloways on rotation and repeated for years etc And how did you not see the: Hello video when it is Iconic like the Beat It video by MJ etc And also been in documentaries etc Very confused!
This is my favorite upbeat lionel richie song amazing energy a masterpiece along with hello
This is actually my favorite Lionel Ritchie song.
This song blows Hello out of the water....Are you kidding meeeeeee...This song is the epitome of my weekends in the 80s...Hands down....
We still danced a lot in the 80's. I really miss that.

And a great take it was.....😍
You can never go wrong with Lionel Richie songs, I recently found out that Steve Lukather of Toto played the guitar on this song.

@@BonnieHalfElven wow great piece of history
I love how Steve is on so many tracks that I never realised what a legend
We are proud of you and you should be proud of yourself. Your willingness to deal with every possible type of music is admirable,
My favorite from this album.
Love the music. Back then they
had fun with videos...🎶🎤🎸
Same
Penny lover is the feel song on the album, this is the banger for sure
the electric guitar was by Steve Lukather of Toto...it just made the last 4 min. ending legend...

Great song that takes me back. The guitar is by Steve Lukather of Toto fame.
He was on 🔥 in one take.
Jeff Porcaro on drums
That's Shiela E that Lionel Ritchie is dancing with!!! I never realized it before!!!
This is one of my favorite songs in the 80’s!!!!!
Great song!! Love it. Steve Lukather of Toto did all the guitar works and solo on this one. Woooowww
India, you would love footage of Kenny Rogers and Lionel singing “Lady” together! Great song Lionel wrote and Kenny recorded.
I love running with the night oh my God it is so cool video is really awesome too
Try Lionel Ritchie when he was in The Commodores, with "Brick House". Or if you want to slow it down, try The Commodores' "Oh No"
Love him he never had a bad song
Smokey Robinson - Being with You
Got feeling you'll love it. It smooth!
I know I am late to this review, but what hasn't been mentioned is that the female lead in this video is Sheila E. Just before her music career started!
Michael Peters brought the Beat It and Thriller energy with his choreography direction!and Steve Lukather from Toto on that lead guitar!!👍👍👍
Lionel can do funky too!
Woah, I totally forgot about this song! Man that brings me back to my childhood. I wonder if Michael Jackson got inspired by this video for Smooth Criminal, I see a lot of similarities.
Loved this 1 also. Actually loved all of Lionel's songs & video
A lot of people don't notice but Richard Marx was actually a backup singer in this song and if you look at the the credits you'll see his name on the background vocals but if you really pay attention you can hear his voice when he does sing in the background
80’s! One of many hits.

Such a kickass solo by lukather
Thx, haven't heard this song in around 25-30 years.
Heh... after all these decades, I just realized that was Sheila E. in the red dress.
Wow.
Didn't she play the blind girl in Hello also
@@toddhodges4405
No, that was actress Laura Carrington who wasn't actually blind.
You would love dancing on the ceiling. Then listen to Janet Jackson what have you done for me lately.
They have awesome vibes
Janet Jackson "If"
There are few Male artists who had Solo Careers as big as Michael Jackson. But Lionel Richie would be on that list. Along with Prince, Phil Collins and George Michael.
I hear this song playing in my head, I visualize a helicopter transporting a dangerous inmate to a maximum security penitentiary.
try Dancing on the Ceiling.
Vibez🎉🎉🎉
I forgot Sheila E was in this video

Try sail on from him or dancing on the ceiling
This was me and my ladys song. She overdosed a year ago

I wonder if this was an inspiration for Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal video.
joe cocker [little help from my friends live ]
