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

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.

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.

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.
