Lionel has been serenading the ladies and men alike with his distinctive voice for so long. When Adele released her single Hello, similar to Lionel\u2019s version of \u201cHello \/ Is it me you’re looking for?” it was an unintended way to pay a compliment to Lionel\u2019s creativity.<\/p>\n

That shouldn\u2019t sound surprising to someone like Lionel with his impressive discography record. <\/span><\/p>\n

He has under his belt ten studio albums, three live albums, seven compilation albums and 42 singles, making him a man of many talents.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what\u2019s so remarkable about Lionel? How about we start with his longevity? A<\/span>\u00a0rare trait among today’s musicians. <\/span><\/p>\n

Some of them don\u2019t have the desire or stamina to carry on singing for 49 years and counting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Presently he\u2019s currently scheduled to perform his \u2018All the Hits Tours\u2019 concert with Mariah Carey in North America between July and September 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

His Time With Commodores<\/span><\/h2>\n

He started singing when he joined the band \u2018The Commodores.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Before that, he had won a tennis scholarship to study Economics and Accounting. He gave that all up to forge a singing career. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Commodores was a popular soul group in the 70s known for their danceable and funky sound. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lionel Richie in deep thought, probably pondering over lyrics, the future, and his journey so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may or may not be a deep thinker, but are seeking glasses that will make people take you seriously and have a modern feel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solo Singer<\/span><\/h2>\n

His age hasn\u2019t been a barrier for the type of artists he\u2019s been able to collaborate\u00a0with. <\/span><\/p>\n

Between the 1970s and 2017, he\u2019s worked with the likes of Kenny Rogers, when he composed the 1980s single called \u2018Lady.’ <\/span><\/p>\n

The song became part of \u00a0Kenny Roger’s Greatest Hits album as well as a lifetime friendship that resulted because of the collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n

The song \u2018Lady\u2019 appeared on all four of Billboard magazine’s singles charts – country, hot 100, adult contemporary and top black singles.<\/span><\/p>\n

The positive reviews of the song led to further collaboration with artists such as Diana Ross with Endless Love, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross and Akon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lionel\u2019s trying to prove that he\u2019s still fresh and hip by sporting these white funky looking frames.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Unconfirmed Stylist<\/span><\/h2>\n

Many will be surprised at this, but following the release of late Nelson Mandela’s album in 1990, Lionel became part of a his\u00a0team in California. <\/span><\/p>\n

Richie\u00a0oversaw all aspects of late Nelson Mandela’s wardrobe. <\/span><\/p>\n

As Mandela had been away for so long, his clothes were outdated. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lionel always had\u00a0his fashionable moments. <\/span><\/p>\n

Screaming retro vibes\u00a0with his afro hair, oversized glasses, and a colourful jumper.<\/span><\/p>\n

You too can add a touch of the 70s and 80s with the\u00a0<\/span>Persol PO0649 (3\/3)<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Still Going Strong<\/span><\/h2>\n

He\u2019s won four Grammys including 1985 song of the year ‘We Are The World’ co-written with Michael Jackson. <\/span><\/p>\n

His album \u2018Can\u2019t Slow Down\u2019 won him the title \u2018Album of the Year and Producer of the Year under (Non-Classical) in 1984. <\/span><\/p>\n

He had the opportunity to perform one of his songs \u201cAll Night Long” at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

In a youth driven market, he’s had the opportunity to headline at famous music festivals such as Glastonbury Festival, in June 2015. <\/span><\/p>\n

It helped to solidify his relevance in today\u2019s music industry. <\/span><\/p>\n
