FIRST TIME HEARING Lionel Richie - All Night Long (All Night) REACTION!!!

[@helgar791]

Lionel is at his best when he writes love songs. IMO he is the greatest writer of love songs of the R&R/R&B era. Try "Easy", "My Love", "Sail On", "Penny Lover", "You Are", Ballerina Girl", "Endless Love", "Just To Be Close To You", "Hello", "Still", "Zoom" and lots of others.

[@TheSchuyler75]

“Sail On” 👍👍 going to listen to that next and “Stuck On You”😁

[@Jihavoh777]

Sail On and Ballerina Girl for me ☺️

[@jimmartin5309]

And “Truly”, maybe the best true love song of all time! Our song from high school (married 37 years ago).

[@helgar791]

@@jimmartin5309 I'm the idiot for forgetting "Truly". Thanks.

[@jimmartin5309]

@@helgar791 By no means an idiot! You got them all except for that one! God Bless you!

Great song. Try Dancin On The Ceiling.

[@Tribblepuppy]

Lionel wrote 'Lady' specifically for Kenny Rodgers. He also wrote and performed 'Three Times A Lady', one of his biggest hits.

[@PhoenixRisen63]

This is a groooooove. Feel-good tune. Great party song. "Dancing on the Ceiling" is cool, too. Lionel and the Commodores were known for those, as well as some powerful ballads. "Easy" is a good one, or "Stuck on You".

[@realityiscool9483]

"You Are" is a good one. Great 80s tune. I really enjoy your posts.

[@darnell49]

This was when Lionel was "OUTRAGEOUS" on top of the music world.

[@pisces228]

Yes, "Outrageous!" LOL I loooooove this album.

[@miltonslocum8957]

Twon, I attended Tuskegee Institute(University) with Lionel and the Commodores. It was nothing to see them on the yard or in the cafeteria. The Commodores were the house band at the Elks Lodge on fish fry Friday's. Got to know the guys and it was great to see them become successful. Lionel's written so much music. In addition to what others have mentioned, check out Penny Lover and Stuck On You. Also Lionel wrote Lady for Kenny Rogers. Most of the Commodores songs were written by Lionel. Looking forward to more reactions to the Commodores and Lionel. Really enjoy your reactions!

[@joeday4293]

Ha! My dad had a brush with (future) fame back then. He ran a shoe store in Lanett, AL, and one day three or four young black dudes came in saying that they were in a band that was on its way to play a showcase in New York before some record executives, and they needed new shoes to look sharp. He ended up selling new shoes to half of the Commodores before he or anyone else knew who they were. He asked them the name of the band, and they told him, and he said, "Okay, cool, I'll listen for you on the radio. Good luck." Within a couple of years, they were all over the radio. LOL

[@miltonslocum8957]

@@joeday4293 Man, that's great! They must have been on the way to catch a flight in Atlanta. Like you mentioned, very few people knew of them back then. And as they say, the rest is history.

[@musicairplanes4884]

When I watch American Idol Lionel is always so encouraging and supportive of the young talent. Such a upbeat personality.

[@deniseriley6622]

👍 never a negative thing to say.

[@musicairplanes4884]

@@deniseriley6622 And if he has constructive criticism he always does it in a positive way. That in itself is a rare talent.

[@TheDivayenta]

Brick House by Lionel and his group The Commodores is a Funk classic! Also , Lionel and Kenny Rogers singing Lady together- with Kenny’s hilarious spoken introduction first!

[@donnac1279]

Where have you been? Lionel is awesome... your still young 😉..us old farts been rockin with Lionel since the Commodors. Motown..ck out Diana Ross and the Supremes to start..theres so many greats..do you know any Ray Charles

[@larrywalling2844]

🤘🏻😎 BRILLIANT. SAIL ON is KOOL 😁

[@janiemarshall7928]

"Easy" , and "Sail On" are both great songs by the Commodores, I think you'd like them both. Yes, they are a vibe. 💙

[@thekingcobra63]

His Commodores stuff is more R and B vibes, he crossed over into pop and even some country if you listen to his collaboration with Alabama " Deep River Woman" you won't be disappointed. Some of his hits in the 80's, Hello, Penny Lover, and of COurse his duet with Diana Ross, Endless Love.

[@sonofabeach71]

"Oh No" by the Commodores is a must hear. You can feel the pain in it.

[@rhiahlMT]

Love, love, love Lionel Richie. You need to do a week of Motown reactions. Some incredible artists out there.

[@Jay-br9ee]

Ozone and Turbo are some of the main break dancers in this. They played on Breakin and Breakin 2 Electric Buguloo! Great 80s movies! I grew up in the 80s loved it man. We had fun!

[@akintoyeakinsola1458]

Lionel Richie is an excellent song writer and singer... He is the 'KING OF BALLADS'

[@katherinebosse5706]

Penny Lover was always a fav, duet with Diana Ross ..”Endless Love” is gorgeous, Hello..so many to choose from! Also “Hey There Lonely Girl” by Eddie Holman is iconic. Love ya! ♥️

[@LadybugLuv]

I remember when he closed out the '84 Olympics in L.A. with this song! America was so boss back then! But maybe it is the same now and I was just 14 then! Lol! Anyway this song was EVERYWHERE!

[@Ella-iw7xn]

Lived in Los Angeles when this hit the streets. Huge Hit and it just makes you smile. If you listen to it again the build up is awesome. One of my fav songs 🎵

[@biajsm4790]

Listen to Lionel Richard “Hello” it’s a more slower pace R&B song.

[@kcronin7211]

Lionel was a hit machine for years, for lots of different folks. He glided easily between genres, writing what you were thinking of as "straight forward R&B" like "Three Times a Lady" and "Lady" and a bunch of commodores hits; and pop songs like "You Are" or "Running With the Night", but also country-tinged stuff like "Deep River Woman" (Which is fucking legend, I love that song) and super ballads like "Endless Love" or "Hello." And Hello is a cultural touchstone, too, god that song was HUGE and has a really identifiable (and, in retrospect, kind of stalkery and creepy) video (so many stalkery videos/songs in the 80s!) I do love You Are. Great at karoake. :)

[@bluedana11]

Dancing on the celling, another Lionel Richie hits….put’s you in a happy fun mood… 😊

[@Mainecoonlady.]

This is 80s dance club pop music. ❤️❤️❤️

[@NicaB75]

Lionel did a duet with the country band Alabama in the 80's, and it's rare to hear it anymore but has lovely harmonies and would make a great reaction. It's called "Deep River Woman". ❤

[@Juan_E_Dewitt]

Missed it by that much

[@bemused9522]

Lionel came from superstar R&B band, them went solo in 80s,...and with many of his songs, like this one, he was showing his range in ability to do different styles. This song will make you smile, "Hello" will make you cry. He was HUGE in the 80s, which is a lot, because so many bands and artists were great, just only one hit wonders, though or every song kinda sounded the same.

[@Vonnies1929]

Wouldn't it be cool to see everybody in the world dancing in the street all night long????

[@elizabethwood9409]

I grew up in a predominant white area, but my parents listened to tons of Motown. My first concert was Lionel Richie with Tina Turner opening. I think I was in 3rd grade. Awesome!!

[@maryhuhnke8496]

"Dancing on the Ceiling" Official Video ❤ "Hello" Are Iconic 👍👍

[@victoriapowell6318]

This makes me tear up. The 80s, they really were good times. I miss the feeling of being connected to everyone else. I don't know what happened. We were so far along in making things better, and now they are worse.

[@marypulley6512]

TWON, you can Never be wrong when you play a love song 🎵, or any song by Lionel.

[@lisazaccardimeunier8378]

This is when break dancing became mainstream. Two of the dancers in this video are from an 80’s movies called Breakin’. I loved it when I was a kid!

[@billycooke6208]

a quintessential 80's song. puts me in a good mood. no joke.

[@darrinlindsey]

Lionel is an Icon. In the late 70s and through the 80s, everything he touched was fire. There's a video on here, that's a clip of a music tribute to Lionel. It was like an award show, but it was just different artists paying tribute to him. In this particular clip, Kenny Rogers told a story about a time when he called Lionel to ask him to write a song for him. Lionel said "No". Then Kenny told him that it would be a bonus track on a Greatest Hits album he was working on, and would sell a minimum of 8 million copies. Lionel said "Is 7:00 tomorrow alright?" Hahaha. The story goes on from there. The song ended up being Lady, and became Kenny's biggest selling song in his career. Check it out on your own, not to react to. Just search for Kenny Rogers and Lionel Ritchie Lady. There's a couple different videos that you'll find. Do the one that's about 7 or 8 minutes. It's kinda funny.

[@lindapowers8592]

Lionel with the Commodores or solo is great! Then his songwriting skills “Lady” 👏🏽 Lady Hello Easy Sail On Night Shift Three Times A Lady Still Endless Love and many more Zoom with the Commodores my favorite.

[@pisces228]

You asked for song that were more straight R&B, but Lionel stood out because his music wasn't just R&B. He infused it with pop and disco, and even country. He was a huge artist in the 1980s. "Hello," "You Are," "Endless Love" (duet with Diana Ross), "Stuck on You," "Dancing on the Ceiling," "Say You, Say Me" and on and on. Music legend. I love that he's on American Idol now, sharing helping new artists with their careers.

[@sandymount1973]

Dancing on the ceiling is another great party song of his

[@aaseloy]

Lionel Richie is a National treasure,and i say this as a Norwegian..

[@deniseriley6622]

He also has a country album. He wrote " Lady" for Kenny Rogers and sang with Alabama.

[@thekingcobra63]

This was my era, coming of age in the 80's, remembering the 70's, and remembering all the great music we had in a time before Political correctness when we all just got together and had fun.

Like the way you started to write the song off right before it kicked in. I can understand bro. But once it picks up it doesn't let you down til it fades gently out. And usually I gotta watch it again once more or twice. You can't sit still guaranteed. I know the song was huge it was on the radio mtv Grammys big concert shows. Thumbs up

This song was an IMMENSE hit in 1983 or so? I mean it was on the radio every hour, every station, until you couldn't escape it! Yes Twon the 80s was a great time to be young and alive, great unity in many ways. But yes his love songs were even better than this, try Truly or Endless Love, he has a huge list. He was at the top of the world for many years. You poor kids, but it's true, there is no comparison between the wealth of secular music and artists of the 70s and 80s especially compared to the misery you have today.
