I love this man - he was such a big part of the soundtrack of my HS years…3 of the 4 proms I went to had Lionel Richie songs as the themes (the 4th one had Madonna’s “Crazy For You”). I hear a Lionel Richie song and I am instantly 16 years old again!
People don’t realize how powerful and connected Lionel Richie is behind the scenes in Hollywood. I would not be surprised to find out that he is playing a role in the blackballing of the Stoats.
I’m right there with you, girl.
On a very personal note, his version of the song “Lady” was sent to me in a text message one night by my Love. I’d never heard Lionel’s version before (only Kenny’s) and when my Bob sent it, I cried tears of happiness. Two weeks later my Love died in a motorcycle accident. To this day I cannot listen to that beautiful song without crying. The words perfectly summed up how I know my Love felt about me, and I him. His sudden passing was, is, and always will be, a profound loss for me…(Writing you this brought on the need for a tissue.)
