Actually I can speak for areas other than my own since I was DJing around the west coast during that time.... Nobody was trying to hear Dancing On the Ceiling man.

>penny lover, hello and all night long were big around my
>way.

They were hits everywhere but that was never the point. If you rolled up to pick up game in the park and started blasting All Night Long on your boom box, what do you the reaction would had been? I'm sure you will try and tell me they all formed a conga line and joined in on the Swahili chant.

>Lionel got play at my school and so on. commdores stuff
>through his mid 80's solo stuff he got some love.
>
>sorry if Lionel richie didn't make a movie and portray having
>a white mother on the screen?
>
>sorry if a follow up movie played on more stereotypes.

Back to you favorite tactic again huh... start throwing a bunch of shit out there to distract from the point at hand. Still doesn't change the fact...... Prince got more play than Lionel among young black folks. I know it hurts but those are the facts.

>FYI you know Prince and Lionel were cool back in the day
>right? got on stage together and of course the Shelia E
>Connection.

What does this even mean? I guess you're trying to say I shouldn't call Lionel's shit white bread because Prince was cool with him... Well wouldn't that mean you should be cool with Prince then?

>however we use to pop lock to "all night long" and get the
>cardboard out.
>
>Lionel had love for quite a while because folks respected the
>songwriting.

It wasn't about respecting song writing... it was about reacting to simple to digest pop songs. Nothing new here.

>like i said and I ain't stopping you done made Bill Oreilly,
>the fox network and other Klan Members proud today with this
>hating post you put up.

>be Proud of yourself and a tip of the cap.

>we are dealing with 9-11-01 ten years later and all you can do
>is put down two Brothers to make yourself feel good about
>music that you prefer more? now that is rich!!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't you just in that Van Hunt post the other day putting that brother down?

Come on maxxx... do better.
