folks don't forget the Great songwriting and great artistry of Lionel B RIchie and the songs speak for themselves.
there are white Pop acts trying to hit country and have met with mixed to no results. Jon Bon Jovi gets out Jon Bon Jovi by Keith Urban and Bon Jovi been trying to pull a Lionel.
its a testimony to Great songs and a Great artist getting his due.
those Michael Mcdonald albums in the early 00's were white bread and constipated sounding. if I hadn't grown up on Michael Mcdonald I would have thought he was as funky as Jim neighbors or something with how white breaded those covers were.
carlos santana and clive Davis couldn't do what Lionel B.Richie has just done because these are Lionel's songs and they are mainly 25-30 years old and still pack a punch.
