My husband & I fell in love around this time, he played this album all the time. That was 41 yrs ago. He's at the end of life. This song brings many great memories of our love & also a little sadness. Thank you both for the channel. 🥰
That is a very sweet story and I'm sure you'll think of it always. I'm incredibly sorry to hear about your husband. May his passing be peaceful. Hugs 🤗
This song and Penny Lover are special to me. The love of my life use to sing them to me. He passed unexpectedly at the age of 35, 39 years ago next month. To this day I've never got over him. Sometimes I just have to go back to these songs to hold him closer to my heart. Prayers for your love. It's hard to give them up.
I’m so sorry to hear of your husband’s condition. But I’m also very happy for both of you that you found each other and have had a great life of love for each other. I’d love to go back to that time in 1984 when I saw Lionel in concert at Kemper Arena in Kansas City. Prayers to you and your husband. Someday, you’ll be together forever. ❤ 🌹
No one ever compares to Lionel Richie for writing these incredible ballads....smooth, melodic, memorable lyrics, great arrangement.....I can go on and on. His songs touch the emotions.
This is one of my favorite Lionel Richie songs. Glad you selected to react to it because you don’t seem to hear this great song played as much as some of Lionel’s other hit songs. This one is a great one too! ❤ Btw, Amber, I love Penny Lover too!!
I was in a hurry, so I had skipped straight to the reaction. About 30 seconds in, and I came to the comments to recommend Penny Lover. After seeing your comment, I went back and saw Amber's comment. It's probably top 5 for me (which is REALLY hard to choose from in his discography).
@@jek4837 I agree. I would definitely put Penny Lover in Lionel’s Top 5. Here’s my Lionel Richie Top 10 in random order. 1) Three Times a Lady, 2) Easy (like Sunday Morning), 3) Hello, 4) Penny Lover, 5) Lady (You Bring Me Up), 6) All Night Long, 7) Running With The Night, 8) You Are, 9) Sail On, 10) Say You, Say Me. I couldn’t do just a Top 5 after all. It was too hard, so I did a Top 10, and even that wasn’t easy…..like Sunday morning (Lol).
The 80's were just a crazy stellar decade for music. And music of all genres, new wave, pop, metal, rap, r&b. Just absolutely top bar. I may say that because it's my childhood and brings back memories. But a lot of people agree with me there.
Lionel Richie is an amazing singer. Another great song of his is "Stuck on You". This was a song he recorded when he dipped a little into the country genre!
Jay/Amber, you'll love his "Truly" and "Endless Love" (with Diana Ross) !!!!! you'll love Lionel on "Three Times A Lady" with the Commodores!! It will be you're new favorite song!!
Amber & Jay, here are some other great Lionel Richie songs to react to: ""Running with the Night, "Truly", "Ballerina Girl", and his duet with Diana Ross: "Endless Love".
This is a great Lionel Richie song..you guys need to react to "Still" and "Truly"...Amber i know you will love those songs..Jay my dude you will enjoy them too
You know what I appreciate about this channel? You let the song play out till the end. I’m funny like that. I never ever ever cut a song off in respect to the artist. They pour their heart and soul into what they hope to become an asset to humanity. That’s how I see it. And with a song like this, it most certainly will live on forever.
This song was Lionel Richie's second Top 10 hit as a solo artist on the Billboard Hot 100 during the early winter of 1983. The song peaked at the #4 spot. By the way, one of the backup singers on this song was a young Richard Marx before he hit it big a singer-songwriter himself later on in the 1980s. This song is a definitely banger indeed!!!
"Love Will Find a Way" is so smooth and they would love it. Actually depending on where your from "Ballerina Girl" in 1986 was his last top 10 hit peaking at #7. "Say You, Say Me" was a #1 hit in 1985, "Dancing On the Ceiling" was a #2 hit in 1986 along with "Love Will Conquer All" #9. All of those charted higher than "Love Will Find A Way". From 1987 to 1996 several top 20 and top 40 hits. He went well into the 90's. He also continued to do well on the R&B and Adult Contemporary charts in the 90's and 2000's having Top 20 hits in 2000, 2006, 2007 and 2009 on one or both of those charts.
Lionel Richie is what you would call somebody who is a mega legend he has won just about every award there is to win Academy award Grammys, Golden Globe Kennedy Center honor Gershwin award, John Mercer award, rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. He’s not just an ordinary singer. He is in the class with Stevie Wonder almost everything he puts out is great, whether with the Commodores or his solo career just an incredible talent, both singer and producer. Try “Still” , “Truly” , “My Love “ , “Three Times a Lady” and “You Mean More to Me” All Ballads but, that’s what he does.
Lionel and Diana Ross...Endless Love...Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 for a remarkable nine weeks, as well as topping the R&B and adult contemporary charts. wiki.
I’ve been in love with Lionel Richie’s voice since I was three years old, he’s just SO GOOD! 🥰 You have to hear “Ballerina Girl”, it’s one of my favorites!
Just saw one of the most amazing live concerts in my life last week, Lionel Ritchie and Earth, Wind , & Fire ! This was here in Memphis , go see them when they come to your town! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love me some Lionel Richie, no doubt! Billy Ocean too. For more smooth sounds, don't forget to check out James Ingram, Peabo Bryson, Luther Vandross, Gino Vanelli, Al Green... Amber will simply melt!

Fun fact: The back up vocals in You Are is a then 19 year old Richard Marx who Lionel discovered in 1981-1982.
Lionel Richie is a legend and an Icon! He is an amazing singer, songwriter, producer, and all-around musician. 💖💖
He’s amazing. I’ve always thought he never got the credit he deserved.

Lionel Richie is so legendary
Lionel Ritchie was already great with The Commodores but he really blew up as solo artist !!!
"Endless Love" by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie .... we are still waiting
Romance? Gotta do endless love by him and Diana Ross. It was the number 1 wedding song of the 80’s
There’s a duet with him and Alabama called deep river woman. That’s awesome

Second single from his debut album

Lionel Ritchie is GOLD!🎙🎶💛My favorite song ,although sad,is Sail On by the Commodores.⛵😭
This is my favorite tune off this album.
I am so glad I grew up with the best from the 60s, 70s and 80s music. We were blessed!. They don't make music like this anymore
this is one favorite lionel richie songs i would sing these around the houses all time like this you all .
Legend….. Truly and Still are great songs
Love this song, so beautiful, ❤❤

By the way, one of the backup singers on this song was a young Richard Marx before he hit it big a singer-songwriter himself later on in the 1980s. This song is a definitely banger indeed!!!
And later on Richard Marx would go on to co-write the incredibly touching "Dance With My Father" with Luther Vandross.
Brilliant..Brings back so many happy memories of when i met my late husband.All Lionel and the Commodores music is genius.
His last real hit single, Love Will Find a Way, is a personal favorite. That was in 1983 (Daughter Nicole was 2.).
"Love Will Find a Way" is so smooth and they would love it. Actually depending on where your from "Ballerina Girl" in 1986 was his last top 10 hit peaking at #7. "Say You, Say Me" was a #1 hit in 1985, "Dancing On the Ceiling" was a #2 hit in 1986 along with "Love Will Conquer All" #9. All of those charted higher than "Love Will Find A Way".

That wasn't a single but is one of his best songs.
At parties in the 80s this was always played. Couples were always in the dark dancing to this. It's a classic
Cleaver and caring is how I would describe him the best. He really cares about all the people around him and not just the famous people.
Lionel Richie is what you would call somebody who is a mega legend he has won just about every award there is to win Academy award Grammys, Golden Globe Kennedy Center honor Gershwin award, John Mercer award, rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. He’s not just an ordinary singer.

Try “Still” , “Truly” , “My Love “ , “Three Times a Lady” and “You Mean More to Me” All Ballads but, that’s what he does.
'Machine Gun' by The Commodores is a classic hit that showcases Lionel Ritchie and his band mates' musical greatness. Tuskegee college friends too.
Pre crossover. We are getting most of the crossover stuff. Same with Earth Wind and Fire.
Beautiful song. For next up, I vote for "Oh No". Also- I think you still need to do Commodores Three Times a Lady, one of Lionel's most classic balads
Both of those and "Three Times A Lady".
Pure magic!
Lionel Richie.....S M O O T H. 👍🏽
You should watch the video - super smooth dancing. This is one of my Lionel favs because of the dancing.
You have to hear Oh No!!! One of the best ballads ever

Lionel Richie is very good as a solo artist. Check him out when he was still a part of the band Commodores.
I’ve been in love with Lionel Richie’s voice since I was three years old, he’s just SO GOOD! 🥰 You have to hear “Ballerina Girl”, it’s one of my favorites!
It’s a real love song!!
Lionel is a treat that needs to live to be 110.
They played this out on the radio when it came out. Brings me right back to that time 🙂👍
This has always been one of my favorites. It has such a sexy rhythm to it! ❤
He and James Carmichael (producer) made the 1980s a memorable time in R&B/pop music.
Just saw one of the most amazing live concerts in my life last week, Lionel Ritchie and Earth, Wind , & Fire ! This was here in Memphis , go see them when they come to your town! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
love lionel richie.
no bad songs.
This is a really great example of Motown Funk. It's a lost genre that was popular in the 70's and could get you groovin no matter your mood.
He is smooth love his style ❤🎉
I love me some Lionel Richie, no doubt! Billy Ocean too. For more smooth sounds, don't forget to check out James Ingram, Peabo Bryson, Luther Vandross, Gino Vanelli, Al Green... Amber will simply melt!
I forgot all about this song. It's my top5 songs of Lionel. I love it.!
