Thanks dude

[@alexdubler6533]

One of Lionel Richie's underrated songs, but has that "Marley Reggae" power sound that is very much loved by THIS raggamuffin!!

[@mansquarezan]

I love this song so much. I grew up in a time where positive music was on rotation every day. Nothing like listening to songs such as this on a Sunday afternoon, right after lunch. To Lionel and artistes like him (the spirit is the same, regardless of age), I say thank you.

[@jansteinvonsquidmeirsteen2256]

Se la, amigo!

Yes u are right

I feel you big time. It was a time of Innocence.

[@beviesbox]

Sela, or Se La, or Selah, is found in the Bible. It means 'Peace" or "Peace be unto you." Its Hebrew, or the Hebrew translation. One of my favorite messages and one of my favorite Lionel Richie songs.

[@T8HPO]

Oh wow, thanks for sharing that, I learned something new, now I like this song even more even after 31 years.

[@nbuehster]

@@T8HPO Something I've been curious about my whole life.

[@yrtracingteam106]

i actually think it ment, its life/ thats life Doesn't matter that much. Great song :-)

[@susanharrison4727]

Out of no where this song just kept repeating in my head and I wondered what this word means, then I saw your post. Needless to say, I needed to see this. Thx for sharing. 😇

[@medrinemukuba8007]

Great piece

[@pincheztm4143]

It’s 2021 and I'm still in love with this song.. Woke up to it this morning, hitting replay everytime. Good old music..

[@Nicaprofe]

This the type of music the new generation should listen to!!!

[@osebu]

We do, well some of us

[@bluewolvesstudios2822]

As a kid born in 91, I always love listening to music from the 50's to the mid 90's. Had more creativity, talent, craft...most music, if not all, are just overloaded with effects which kills the song in general.

[@jansteinvonsquidmeirsteen2256]

Amen

[@JoeJinouga]

Not all doesn't mean some doesn't too, sometimes we need to think far, world is wide, there are young people likes old song while old people likes new song

[@MrCancer1965]

I wasn't a big Lionel Richie fan, but this was definately my favorite song from him. It makes my all time favorite list as well. Very nice song with a positive message. The song is also another 80s hit I might add. The 80s the 80s the 80s!!!

[@jamesswain8675]

The 80's was definitely a great decade for music but in my humble honest opinion the 70's was the best

[@TheSaltydog07]

Same here. "All Night" will always remind of my brother.

Learnt it from my dad. He loved the song so much. Sela Sela Sela. Long for this type of world he sings about.

[@michemiche1764]

Same. My dad used to play this while in the kitchen over and over again

[@feelfreehi]

This was when music was music I miss the 80's...

[@ShekaslimBangura-q2d]

Who said Sela is an underrated music?? U must be kidding..listen to the prophetic lyrics then you will know that it's all about love and for me the best ever music of the century !! A surprise that this genius can also excel in Reggae music..coz sela has all the ingredients of a Reggae beat..

[@selwynlawson7596]

Exactly

[@PlaneAF876]

Agreed, the stuff we hear today just doesn't grab me the way the sounds of the 80's does, it was a great time for music no matter what genre you're into.

[@JoseBarbosa-of3ru]

Até hoje é sucesso eu amo essa música dinho Barbosa, jbs

[@adambenedict6536]

One of his best songs. Had this on 45.

[@h7opolo]

thanks for providing this excellent music video. it adds a lot to the already maximal enjoyment of the tune.

[@ulludots]

I grew up with this chorus, with this melody, with this beat, man, sweet old times

[@Temboz]

I grew up on this song in the 80's..a good song and a classic.. happy I found it.

[@chameleonfrog1]

I haven't heard this song for so long. Just as beautiful now as then...Thanks!

[@DaveWollenberg]

Lionel hit #20 in Billboard, 5-16-87. God bless ya, brother Lionel! Thanx, Tertanqi, for postin' it. Have a great week! One love!

[@alec4010]

I remember listening to this song on our way to Vegas when I was about three years old and we would stay at the mirage for my dads law convention. When I hear that chorus in the background I would imagine white horses and zebras coming out of that beautiful waterfall out front where they have the volcano at the mirage hotel at with lights and such a magical atmosphere.

[@rodneybenbow1787]

Lionel Richie definitely had good music back in the day when he was with the Commodores and as a solo artist.

[@jamesswain8675]

I love this song so much! Because Lord knows "Dancing on the ceiling" sucked so bad, so glad Lionel followed up with this song because it certainly was a great tune.

[@T8HPO]

For me Freshman year of high school 1986-87, 31 years ago this month I first listened to this song, great song!

[@ManLikeT4nk]

I put this song on my holiday playlist and my Sunday playlist. The sound is so soothing 💯

[@blewis0719]

I was working at a radio station when this song hit. I love the message and the reggae sound. I know times change and music changes with it. Our parents thought our music was foreign. But, in 2023, we need more music with a positive message like the one in this song. It wasn't Lionel's biggest hit. But, it was one of my favorites by him.

[@Lime22xx]

...thought the song was da bomb when i was a little kid...now as an adult the song is STILL DA BOMB!

[@raqueldiaz276]

Amo esta canción! Viviendo los 80s.

[@Lite99]

Another song the AM/FM broadcasters have thrown away in the trash. I had completely forgotten about this song, but that's to be expected...out of sight (or hearing, in this case)...out of mind. Se la topped at #20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #5 on the Adult Contemporary chart. We continue to lose our musical heritage, no thanks to broadcast radio's refusal to air these hits anymore. :(

[@oholm09]

Radio promotion airplay

[@1974kaplan]

In the past, you had alot of good singers but now you only have one good singer and thats the the weekend he still has the vibes of the past

[@etimsam]

My dear brother Carlos, you just melted my heart more then it ever was. I am short for words to express my gratitude to you for leaving that comment. I am proud to have you in the world with me, to share the amazing grace and comfort of the God of heaven and earth. I've been in tears for most of tonight, since I discovered this video at work. We can change the world. Praise to the Lord, and keep it going...SELA !!!!!

I used to listen this song around 1989 onwards when I was six years old. If I remember well it was usually being played by either BBC Swahili or VOA Swahili immediately after their news bulletins at 7pm in the evening. It still sounds super-fresh when am now heading to the forth floor age-wise...

One thing about music, it hits so hard you won’t feel no pain

[@gmcneoplan84]

This song was Lionel Richie's last hit single of the 1980s. He took a well-known break from the music biz (recording his own albums that is) for ten years. He was so busy recording music in the late 1960s and 1970s with The Commodores and then recording music as a solo artist in the 1980s, that maybe he just got burnt out by 1987.

[@dewaldhuman8398]

Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 represented Am only 18yrs at this song is a killer sensation Ooooh my i die

[@bennypinto]

Perhaps the best way to think of “selah” is a combination of all these meanings. The Amplified Bible adds “pause and calmly think about that” to each verse where “selah” appears. When we see the word in a psalm or in Habakkuk 3, we should pause to carefully weigh the meaning of what we have just read or heard, lifting up our hearts in praise to God for His great truths. “All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name." Selah!
