Detailed item info -

By the end of the 70s, Lionel Richie was emerging as a star within the successful R&B group The Commodores. They had began as a funk band but found greater commercial success by focusing on pop ballads, the most successful of which were written and performed by Richie. After penning the biggest hit in Motown history - "Endless Love", a duet with Diana Ross - Richie was sure that he could pursue a successful solo career, and quit The Commodores at the end of 1981.

His conviction was not misplaced. A self-titled debut solo album sold over four million copies, but Can't Slow Down (1983) far exceeded that: thanks to over a year spent in the Top 10, and the Album of the Year Grammy, it sold over 20 million copies worldwide. Two massive hit singles from that album - "Hello" and "All Night Long (All Night)" - are usually considered Richie's signature songs. His third solo album, Dancing on the Ceiling (1986), was another multi-platinum success, and featured the chart-topping "Say You, Say Me".

Richie took a well-deserved break after Dancing on the Ceiling, and didn't release an album of new songs for 10 years. Although he has failed to enjoy any further charting singles, his newer albums still sell several hundred-thousand copies each. 

DEBUT TRACKS - Lionel Richie, singer and leader of The Commodores had penned great songs like "Three Times A Lady" and "Easy"(later cover by Faith No More) for his band and the US #1 duet "Endless Love" with Diana Ross & Kenny Rogers big hit "Lady". It was a natural step in a great artist career to go solo, and Lionel proved he was just as good as a solo singer then a member of the Commodores. With the release of his epnymous debut album he stays on fammiliar territory with mostly slow jams and midtempo R&B, simular to what he did with Commodores, but not too many funky energic uptempos, but this is what he's best at. Lionel was also involved in the writing of all songs and apart from some latter albums this feels very personal since all songs have great lyrics easy to relate too. Three quite big hits are included here, a wonderful ballad "Truly" (Us #1) and midtempo "You Are" and loveballad "My Love" the rest are songs to discover and actally most of them are great. "Serves You Right" a typical breezy 80's R&B song that sound like it could have been made for Michael Jackson. "Wandering Star", a love-ballad and definite highlight. "Tell Me", an other midtempo 80's style and last but not least the charming "Round and Round" which sound like it was from the 70's. The last two songs "You Mean More To Me" and "Just Put Some Love In Your Heart" are forgettable adult contemporary ballads that doesn't add much to the overall record, but out of 7 songs 9 are great. This album would launch his solo career and with the next album he would be a superstar. Even if this may be less commercial the the upcoming 2 grand slams he made, it's perhaps his finest work and defenitely recommended for people that apreciate good music.
