A lot of people of my generation (I'm in my late teens) might laugh at some of my CD collection. However, it has always been my philosophy that if it is decent music, I’m not going to let any prejudices I might have get in the way of my musical taste. So, I have a most wonderful Lionel Richie album in my collection. And to hell with what people say!
I think my appreciation of Richie's music must stem, as with a lot of my older tastes, from my parents in some way, and of course, the radio listening of my youth. Of course, everyone knows the wonderful 'Hello', acclaimed as one of the great love songs of our time - and rightly so, with lines like "And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times", how could it be any other way? Other wonderful tracks include 'Running With The Night', 'Easy' and 'Stuck On You', but each and every track is every inch a classic.
I think the reason why I rate this album over other 'Best Of's, other than the fact that it has all my favourite tracks on it, is that it not only has the best of Lionel Richie, but the best of his time with the Commodores too, so we get 'Three Times A Lady' and 'Easy' too, and this makes the album even better than it was before. There's even the beautiful duet with Diana Ross on 'Endless Love'. It's a complete album in every way.
There's little more I can say about the album. Richie's vocal style is perfect, the instrumental work is superb, and the selection of tracks is astounding. What more could you ask for? This is a wonderful album - get it now!
