"All Night Long (All Night)" is a song by American singer and songwriter Lionel Richie from his second solo album, Can't Slow Down (1983). The song combined Richie's Commodores style with Caribbean influences. The single reached number one on three Billboard charts (pop, R&B and adult contemporary). In the UK, it peaked at number two on the singles chart. The song lyrics were written primarily in English, but Richie has admitted in at least one press interview that "African" lyrics in the song, such as "Tam bo li de say de moi ya" and "Jambo jumbo", were in fact gibberish. Richie has described these portions of the song as a "wonderful joke", written when he discovered that he lacked the time to hire a translator to contribute the foreign-language lyrics he wished to include in the song. Cash Box summed up its review of the single saying "Richie’s command of these diverse musical elements and shifts in melodic direction is as impressive as it is pleasurable." An accompanying music video for "All Night Long (All Night)" was produced by former Monkee and TV video pioneer Michael Nesmith and directed by Bob Rafelson. Richie performed the song at the closing ceremonies of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The song was used in the pilot episode for Miami Vice, "Brother's Keeper". While Richie was supposed to appear in the episode to sing it, he was on tour at the time and could not make it to the filming location; an unnamed band plays the song in the episode. The 1997 film The Fifth Element, introduces character Ruby Rhod singing a few notes of the song for his livestream broadcast. Richie performed the song live at the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize celebration.
