Blair Sings Astaire - Lionel Blair & Jive Aces

Advantages: 16 Great racks - Ballards and Pop
Disadvantages: None

...the title but once the intorduction is heard you will be singing along. I do find that the chorus does repeat itself quite a few too many times in the song which I am not too keen onbut a great song. 3 - Love, Oh Love - This track runs for 5.47 and was produced by Stewart Levine. I must confess that I had not heard this song before buying the CD but it is a plesant ballard to listen to. I have to say that this is not one of his better songs. 4 - All Night Long - This track runs for 4.16 minutes and was produced by Lionel Ritchie and James Anthony Carmicheal. The track is maybe one of his best known songs and the unbeat tempo makies for great easy listening. This song never fails to put a smile on my face. 5 - Easy - This song runs for 4.15 minutes and was produced by James Anthony Carmichael and The Commodores. This ha to be one... Read review

...Okay here it is, I'm tired of hiding my love for Lionel Richie songs, this man is great!!!! Lionel Richie first found fame in the band called The Commodores during the Seventies and the group were signed by the famous Motown.

Disadvantages: None

...:02) 16 Three Times a Lady I have a few favourites, the main ones are: "My destiny", because of the mid tempo, laid back feel. In this song Lionel (first name terms!) makes his voice sound as if there's no effort involved (If only I could sing so effortless). My other favourites are the classics "Easy" (really good for relaxing), "Hello" (which is on my answer machine and my friends give me a bit of stick for!) and of coarse "Three times a lady." I also love "Endless Love" with Diana Ross as it's a beautiful duet, with great lyrics, and I nearly forgot "Stuck on you" (which is on some advert at the moment) I like this one so much because of the lyrics, the melody and again his voice. "Stuck on you I’ve got this feeling down Deep in my soul That I just can’t lose Guess, I’m on my way Needed a friend And the way... Read review
