My son's high school music teacher sang back up for some of Lionel's songs. This teacher was with his class one day & Lionel came strolling in. Lionel had a show & wanted the teacher for back up. The kids got tickets to the concert. No one new that their teacher was that good.
@@michaelasay8587 I can't remember his name, that was 35 yrs ago. I should ask my son if he remembers his name. I do remember he had a beautiful voice.
RUNNING WITH THE NIGHT - LIONEL RICHIE 1983 This Definitely should be your next Lionel song it's catchy it's groovy danceable and what an awesome voice. Plus the band plays some of the best instruments of all time. The perfect Rhythm with a little synth pop and Rock guitars that just add the perfect soulfulness. Highly recommend it
Lionel Ritchie is so good he makes it sound so natural and easy, almost effortless. Don’t be fooled, it takes an incredible amount of work to sound that good. Fabulous artist. ✌️
Jay/Amber, you'll love his "Truly" and "Endless Love" (with Diana Ross) !!!!! you'll love Lionel on "Three Times A Lady" with the Commodores!! It will be you're new favorite song!!
Lionel had so many hits in the 80's, including You Are, Se La, and the extremely underrated Love Will Find A Way. I hope you guys get a chance to react to all of those.
I think Lionel Richie is one of the best song writers of my time, along with Dolly Parton and the Bee Gees. I had Lionel's Truly - The Love Songs CD with this song on it. The whole album is phenomenal. He even wrote Lady, which was one of the biggest hits for Kenny Rogers.
This may be my favorite Lionel Richie song! It’s certainly near the very top of a long, long list of great songs by this truly iconic singer! Saw him in concert in KC in 1984. It was AWESOME!!
My 86 year old mother LOVES Lionel Richie. She has his Greatest Hits album (The Definitive Collection) and I was amazed. Because she’s not someone who listens to contemporary music. She usually listens to Classical and Broadway tunes. But Lionel captures her heart…😊
I'm glad you finally returned to the greatest writer of love songs in the R&B/R&R era. Listen to him doing "You Are", "My Love", "Ballerina Girl", and "Truly" for more great songs that were big hits.
"Ballerina Girl" is one of his most beautiful and heartfelt songs and is one of my favorites of his. I heard that this song is a tribute to his daughter Nicole. I highly recommend reacting to this song.
This without a doubt my all time favourite Lionel Richie song outside of his Commodore days, yes he has a voice that can sing anything but for me it is this one, Thanks guys loved it and knew you would as well. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘🎶🎶🎶🎶❤❤❤❤
The love of my life use to sing this to me. Sadly he passed away 39 years ago at the age of 35. This song either brings me a smile or sometimes a tear, missing him still.
Thank you! My favorite song by Lionel Richie. Also, my favorite performance is when Lionel and Kenny Rogers sing " Lady" together. It's definitely a must watch!
Bummed out that he didn't play this song last week in Seattle. He just has too many to play in two hours. The first concert I ever saw, when I was seven years old. The Commodores, Halloween night, 1975. I went trick or treating earlier, so I still had my C-3P0 costume, which looked a lot like the outfits they wore onstage that night.
J and Amber, please react to *Running With The Night* as your next Lionel Richie song!! It features Steve Lukather (of Toto) on guitar!! It's a great song that I believe you two will love!! 😀 @RobSquadReactions

Thank you for this one guys I haven't heard this one in a very long time. Please do my favorite by Lionel Richie Truly (1982) You Mean More To Me (1982 Thanks as always Jay and Amber 😊
I actually learned of this song from the movie "The Sure Thing". I was 13 when the movie came out, then continued buying it on VHS then DVD, and still have it. I eventually bought this song when I switched to iTunes 15 years ago. Great song.
I have seen Lionel in concert, three times and not only a brilliant musician but a fantastic entertainer who sounds better live than on his recordings.
I was listening to this song last night off of his greatest hits album. I know Lionel had a lot of hits but I didn't know it was this many. He is truly amazing👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽✌🏽
I saw you for the first time last night while I was binging We Are The World. One of the guys you didn’t know was James Ingram, a man whose voice will melt your hearts. Just Once was one of my favorites. I love your openness and your love of music. It’s very healing. I look forward to watching daily!
Great reaction to one of the 80's best songs, he could do no wrong in front of the mic. If you guys haven't already, check out " My Destiny" and " Climbing" from the 90's.
In the 70's & 80's people can talk about Michael Jackson and/or Madonna all they want. But Lionel Richie was a real hit maker. First with The Commodores, and then as a solo artist. "Running With The Night" from this same album was a good one too. If you want to listen to The Commodores more funk songs, try "Machine Gun" (instrumental) or "Slippery When Wet". Great funk tunes...
As a kid, my mom had his album "Can't Slow Down", which had this song on it. She would play this one the most in her classroom as a 6th grade teacher after school grading papers and making lesson plans.
Lionel Richie had a late career song called “Just For You” that I think you would like. It kind of reminds me of U2. It wasn’t a huge hit but it is one of my favorites from him.
