I find Lionel Richie a phenomenon. The hair and moustache look weird now, but his songs stand the test of time.


Richie closing out the 1984 Olympics was most excellent:

Somewhere in here you can hear Jim McKay explaining the difference between "poppers" and "break dancers" and it is just awesome.

+1, but then my copy of Rick James' Street Songs has grooves cut into it, so what do I know of music?
