It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!” ~ Rocky Balboa

I will need to finish this list soon, even though many people have lost or have completely no interest.

I don't know a lot of Lionel Richie's songs, but there are still a couple of them that I'm hoping to see on your list.

Hello might have been Lionel's most successful single off of Can't Slow Down, but Penny Lover was way better in my opinion.

Yet another Number 1 hit, All Night Long is easily the grooviest and most upbeat Lionel Richie song ever released.



2. STUCK ON YOU
(1983, Can't Slow Down)

Lionel went all country with this track, and it proved that he was versatile. The song was a hit, especially on the US Country Music charts.



1. EASY**
(1977, Commodores)

Released the year I was born, Easy was one of the best singles of 1977, peaking at Number 4 in the US. The song highlighted Lionel's growing role within the Commodores as an accomplished singer and songwriter, which would eventually lead to his departure and launching of a successful solo career.
