One of the world’s best selling artists of all time, Lionel Richie has sold over 100 million albums worldwide.

As a member of the Commodores, Lionel developed a groundbreaking style that defied genre categories, penning smashes such as Three Times A Lady, Still, and Easy. After writing Lady for Kenny Rogers, and Endless Love with Diana Ross (which garnered an Academy Award and a Golden Globe nomination), Motown asked him to do a solo album.

The self-titled debut would cement him as a star in his own right and earn him his very first Grammy for the hit Truly. The diamond-certified Album of the Year winner Can’t Slow Down followed in 1983, giving the world classics such as All Night Long (All Night), Penny Lover, Stuck On You, and Hello.
