matter of fact i watched an interview with him on this very type of topic and he was making a point that he wanted to take his music to as many people as he could. you see as a Music historian I know he is channeling Ray Charles with the hybrid and other stylings he does.

ain't no Brother who has been through what he has and as Educated and knowledgeable as Lionel B.Richie want to hear another Brother say he is WhiteBread after all of these years??

this thread is Garbage and Black on Black Hate period and I took it offensive.

Lionel didn't make a 180 degree turn around from what he was doing with the Commodores.

they don't have a leg to stand on, so they have resorted to some played out middle school dissing on Lionel.

sorry if i get passionate over a Great Artist who is very Black and made a difference.

and this thread title is offensive sho nuff.
