~ The Lovezone with Geena Lee ~ Episode 32: The Legendary Lionel Richie

You can’t compile a list of legendary love songs without including at least a handful from Lionel Richie.  Having sold over 100 million records worldwide, Lionel is one of the most successful balladeers of our time. From his early career with The Commodores to his mega-success as a solo artist, Lionel became internationally known for his distinctive songwriting skills and soulful crooning voice.

Today Lionel Richie turns 61 years old, and is still going strong.  Admittedly, his later albums didn’t reach the same acclaim as his earlier work in the 1980s, but he’s a solid performer and a staple on most Adult Contempory/R&B radio station playlists. In honour of the man who got us Dancing On The Ceiling and showed how to give Endless Love, I’ve put together a mix of my favourite Richie tracks, from his solo and Commodore days.

Happy Birthday (and Happy Father’s Day) Lionel!

Love,
Geena
