Lionel Richie’s honeyed tones have festooned the radio frequencies of millions of soul and R&B music stations around the globe. His famous songs, ‘Hello’, ‘Truly’, ‘Three Times A Lady’ and ‘Say You, Say Me’ have been conferred with ‘evergreen’ status and have promoted him to celebrity status. He initially forged a successful career with the ‘Commodores’ and then went on to have a successful solo career. A Grammy Award recipient, Richie is considered one of the most successful singer-songwriters of the 20th century, with most of his songs peaking on important music charts. After a long and successful spell with the ‘Commodores’, he began writing and producing country hits and ended up becoming one of the most popular artists of his time. This singer-songwriter, record producer, and actor has sold nearly 100 million records worldwide and is single-handedly known for his solo-career success, not banking on the earlier success he had with the ‘Commodores’. In his music career, he has collaborated with a number of musicians and singers including Diana Ross, Enrique Iglesias, Rascal Flatts, and Kenny Chesney. Apart from his career in the music industry, he has also appeared in films such as ‘Pariah’ and the documentary series, ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’
