Lionel Richie is definitely one of my greatest inspirations as a singer-songwriter! 👏🎸🎤🎶❤️ His songs will be around forever, no doubt!

Lionel Richie the greatest

[@tinadaugherty9073]

OMG! Oh my, my, my!! Priceless beyond all the money, gold & highest honors anybody could bestow.... WOW! ❤ I can't bring myself to words on how the deepest sentiments I feel in my heart, body & soul about Lionel Richie...speechless! Breathtaking for every heartbeat & my breath taken. 💖 Talk about a man to bring me to tears in his songs. This is real. The Commodores as a band, the albums I have bought... the dancing I had done to the funky music in the 70s as a young teenage girl ... it's just beyond my words how talented, gifted & brilliant Lionel Richie is in my eyes. I LOVE THIS MAN! Thanks for this interview.

[@bella4644]

Lionel always makes for a good interview. Eloquent at best.

[@aquaman7516]

This is AWESOME!!!!🎼🎼🎼👍🏿

[@Sttephy30]

Great interview. And this yet again proves that you don't have to have the ability to read music in order to create/write/compose music. Just like you don't have to be able to play an instrument, in order to compose/write a song.

[@mariaumina2083]

I listen to all your interview on computer ,that's how much I like you

[@rutonguyen3778]

[@jasonmorse4527]

I'll sing easy and it's just my favorite... I've done it in Florida and Jamaica and surprised people... I've pissed people off with it also and had them walk out... It's been a few years but now I'm going to get back out there again... The feeling I get singing and the feelings I've gotten over the past 30 years of doing just about anything and the reactions... Is worth more than money... And you don't have to be good at it... A great song will carry you through...
