L.R. has a song called "Just For You" that came out not too long ago and it was great.

I met Richie and actually drove his new Mercedes in 1978, when he was still with the Commodores.
Very nice guy. Open, friendly, always had time for everybody.

" "I love Lionel Richie," they say"
Well so do I, from when he was with the Commodores.
That group was a big part of me growing up.
I am not surprised the Iraqis like the guy. One of my best all time singers.

I have been to Iraq nine times since the American invasion three years ago Gee. If I lived under the heel of Sadam, and America showed up to boot his a** out, I'd call that a liberation.

Goes to show the resulting psychological effects of having to endure the Saddam regime for so long.

Just checked Amazon. One tune on the Best of Lionel Richie album is Jesus is Love. I'd love to hear that blaring from the minarets of Baghdad 24/7.

I love Maria Sharapova (Russian)

I bought LR music video with Dancing on the Ceiling at WalMart. My kids, then 12, loved it. Though my now jaded 13 year old would never be caught watching it, I'm sure it shaped his ideas of real entertainment.

Germans love David Hasselhoff. They also loved Hitler, so we can't count on their tastes and/or judge of character, too much:-)

Grown Iraqi men get misty-eyed by the mere mention of his name. "I love Lionel Richie," they say. Iraqis who do not understand a word of English can sing an entire Lionel Richie song. More proof that the press is only reporting bad news out of Iraq. :)

Has Barry Manilow broken through yet and actually sang a song? I hear Neil Diamond threatened to but never came through.
Two guys that have absolutely zero singing talent. The Napoleon Dynamites of the music industry. To think of all the people that have drank the kool aid on these "strong tune talkers" not singers. Think about it. Zero talent.
