Still Dancing On the Ceiling

These days, R&B singer and songwriter Lionel Richie might be best known for being Nicole Richie’s dad, but those over 30 will remember the string of hits he either wrote, co-wrote, or recorded since the late 1970s, including “Truly,” “All Night Long,” “Say You, Say Me” (which earned him an Oscar in 1986), “Lady,” and “I’m Easy,” the latter having been one of the first hits he penned during his time with the Commodores. Another memorable tune of his is “We Are The World,” written with Michael Jackson.
