My son's high school music teacher sang back up for some of Lionel's songs. This teacher was with his class one day & Lionel came strolling in. Lionel had a show & wanted the teacher for back up. The kids got tickets to the concert. No one new that their teacher was that good.

RUNNING WITH THE NIGHT - LIONEL RICHIE 1983 This Definitely should be your next Lionel song it's catchy it's groovy danceable and what an awesome voice. Plus the band plays some of the best instruments of all time. The perfect Rhythm with a little synth pop and Rock guitars that just add the perfect soulfulness. Highly recommend it

Lionel Ritchie is so good he makes it sound so natural and easy, almost effortless. Don’t be fooled, it takes an incredible amount of work to sound that good. Fabulous artist. ✌️

Jay/Amber, you'll love his "Truly" and "Endless Love" (with Diana Ross) !!!!! you'll love Lionel on "Three Times A Lady" with the Commodores!! It will be you're new favorite song!!

Lionel had so many hits in the 80's, including You Are, Se La, and the extremely underrated Love Will Find A Way. I hope you guys get a chance to react to all of those.

Lionel is awesome! Didn't make bad songs. Just hits!

I think Lionel Richie is one of the best song writers of my time, along with Dolly Parton and the Bee Gees. I had Lionel's Truly - The Love Songs CD with this song on it. The whole album is phenomenal. He even wrote Lady, which was one of the biggest hits for Kenny Rogers.

I feel like each verse brought a little more energy and soul from Lionel. Glad you guys enjoyed it 😊

This may be my favorite Lionel Richie song! It’s certainly near the very top of a long, long list of great songs by this truly iconic singer! Saw him in concert in KC in 1984. It was AWESOME!!

Lionel has so many great songs and such a wonderful voice

My 86 year old mother LOVES Lionel Richie. She has his Greatest Hits album (The Definitive Collection) and I was amazed. Because she’s not someone who listens to contemporary music. She usually listens to Classical and Broadway tunes. But Lionel captures her heart…😊

The early 80s. This brings back very good times❣️

OMG...THANK YOU!!! I love Lionel Ritchie...the commadors and him solo...❤❤❤

One of many hits from the album "Can't slow down" from 1984. Happy memories from that time. Penny lover is a banger. Thanks for sharing

Oh I love Penny Lover❤😊one of his best sweet songs😊

Fantastic reaction to a great song. My wife and I recently saw Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind and Fire here in Atlanta - Legendary 💯

"you are" is a masterpiece by Lionel

I remember when this song first came out brings back memories the 80’s was a great time.

Give his “YOU ARE” a listen! You won’t be disappointed

I'm glad you finally returned to the greatest writer of love songs in the R&B/R&R era. Listen to him doing "You Are", "My Love", "Ballerina Girl", and "Truly" for more great songs that were big hits.

Lionel Richie is perfection! Great choice he has so many to choose from. I hope you play more soon.

This without a doubt my all time favourite Lionel Richie song outside of his Commodore days, yes he has a voice that can sing anything but for me it is this one, Thanks guys loved it and knew you would as well. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘🎶🎶🎶🎶❤❤❤❤

Lionel is such a legend, smooth indeed. "Truly" is another good one to react to.

This is one of my favorite songs by him

His music reminds me of being a kid in the 80s and sharing a room with my sister who adored him.

You should check out Richie’s ‘You Are,’ which preceded this disc.

One of the best voices out there!

The love of my life use to sing this to me. Sadly he passed away 39 years ago at the age of 35. This song either brings me a smile or sometimes a tear, missing him still.

That ENTIRE album is a classic.. nobody gives you bridge in a song Lionel Richie

Lionel is amazing, the smoothness in his style/voice is Infectious. Amazing artist.

Imma gonna keep sayin it Mama girl has great observations! It's a pleasure watching yall's channel!💯❤️

His voice is romantic !

Always loved this one.

A freaking awsome song. A freaking awsome artist. One of the greatest. Gotta love Lionel Richie.

I can almost picture myself listening to this on the radio in the 80s❤.

Your next Commodores/Lionel Richie reaction should be "Still"

Silky smooth……..Awww Penny Baby!

Amazing music by Lionel Richie,,, he was one of my best faves of the 80s. He is an amazing songwriter.

This is my second favorite Lionel Richie song. My absolute favorite by him is "You Are". Definitely check that one out if you haven't.

Thank you! My favorite song by Lionel Richie. Also, my favorite performance is when Lionel and Kenny Rogers sing " Lady" together. It's definitely a must watch!

That is off of the album Can't Slow Down...phenomenal album!!!

All of his songs are fantastic…

Bummed out that he didn't play this song last week in Seattle. He just has too many to play in two hours. The first concert I ever saw, when I was seven years old. The Commodores, Halloween night, 1975. I went trick or treating earlier, so I still had my C-3P0 costume, which looked a lot like the outfits they wore onstage that night.

Just a truly great musical artist.

I loved this song and watching the video on the late night video shows back in the day. Great reaction guys!

Another song where Lionel can croon with the best of the them is on the song STILL, with Lionel singing lead with the Commodores.

J and Amber, please react to *Running With The Night* as your next Lionel Richie song!! It features Steve Lukather (of Toto) on guitar!! It's a great song that I believe you two will love!! 😀 @RobSquadReactions

One of the very best singer/writers of our time. Please do his "Truly" next, i live it and i know you both would love it too. ❤🎼

Bill Haley & His Comets - "Rip It Up" - from "Don't Knock The Rock" - HQ 1956 Bill Haley & His Comets - "Hot Dog Buddy Buddy" - from "Don't Knock The Rock" - HQ 1956

Oh, this is my most favorite in the Lionel collection! There's just something about it. ❤

I love him I hope you both have a great weekend.

One of my all time favourites

This song made me think of Otis Redding's "Try a Little Tenderness" . Danced a lot to Lionel Ritchie in the 70s

I never knew there was an actual video for this song.

Love this song 😍😉

The lyrics are everything in this song ❤

Thank you for this one guys I haven't heard this one in a very long time. Please do my favorite by Lionel Richie Truly (1982) You Mean More To Me (1982 Thanks as always Jay and Amber 😊

❤….Say You Say Me is another hit ❤

I actually learned of this song from the movie "The Sure Thing". I was 13 when the movie came out, then continued buying it on VHS then DVD, and still have it. I eventually bought this song when I switched to iTunes 15 years ago. Great song.

So love this mans voice...him and Stevie Wonder. Good times!

Wow! I’d forgotten about this song! Slow dance, anyone? 😍

"The only one" by Lionel Richie is a hidden gem.

I have seen Lionel in concert, three times and not only a brilliant musician but a fantastic entertainer who sounds better live than on his recordings.

I grew up with him and i love him❤

Love is Priceless!

Do ENDLESS LOVE!! You will love it. Lionel Ritchie, Diana Ross. Their voices go incredible places.

Yes, we got Jay grooving/vibing to a slow song. When I first started following this channel Jay wasn't a big fan of slow songs. Love the growth. :)

I was listening to this song last night off of his greatest hits album. I know Lionel had a lot of hits but I didn't know it was this many. He is truly amazing👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽✌🏽

A great artist, memories of slow skating to this song!

Lionel the legend..the love song king...❤...🇬🇧

My favourite song from Lionel ❤

Such a fine singer and musician!

You'll want to check out "Oh No" - Lionel Richie/Commodores and "Deep River Woman" - Lionel Richie & Alabama

Lionel was all over the 80's with hit after hit after hit.

Good song good reaction

This song, many house parties, always a birthday or something to celebrate and the older cousins and friends would be in the dark dancing to this lol

His "Greatest Love Songs" album is my top favorite by Lionel Ritchie

“DANCING ON THE CEILING” is another great one of his-fun video too!!

I still love this song so much!

The COMMODORE'S...LADY YOU BRING ME UP.....that video is ol SKOOL for real...

Sweet 80s song

He was a hit machine , even wrote Lady for Kenny Rodgers.

Just one word...SMOOOOOOOOOTH!!

Lionel Richie can do no wrong. Singer,, Songwriter...he will always be the soundtrack of my youth.

Love this song!

Y'alls facial expressions say it all.

I saw you for the first time last night while I was binging We Are The World. One of the guys you didn’t know was James Ingram, a man whose voice will melt your hearts. Just Once was one of my favorites. I love your openness and your love of music. It’s very healing. I look forward to watching daily!

Lol of course J had his eyes closed and missed Lionel’s action scene in the bar.

You need to play Running with the night next! He dances with Sheila E in the video!

Love you guys ohh and a song with my name in it keep up the good work from penny in Cornwall England 😊

Love Lionel Richie! Guys you should do "You Are" and "Endless Love"

Great reaction to one of the 80's best songs, he could do no wrong in front of the mic. If you guys haven't already, check out " My Destiny" and " Climbing" from the 90's.

In the 70's & 80's people can talk about Michael Jackson and/or Madonna all they want. But Lionel Richie was a real hit maker. First with The Commodores, and then as a solo artist. "Running With The Night" from this same album was a good one too. If you want to listen to The Commodores more funk songs, try "Machine Gun" (instrumental) or "Slippery When Wet". Great funk tunes...

I love Lionel you know he and Kenny Roger's sung Lady together I think you would love seeing them singing together.

Good song

As a kid, my mom had his album "Can't Slow Down", which had this song on it. She would play this one the most in her classroom as a 6th grade teacher after school grading papers and making lesson plans.

I would like you to do deep river women with Alabama. Great sound!

So beautiful

Ooo you were really feeling that one 😂😂😂❤

Lionel Richie had a late career song called “Just For You” that I think you would like. It kind of reminds me of U2. It wasn’t a huge hit but it is one of my favorites from him.
