yeah One of the Baddest Musical talents ever. from the Ray charles school of music and versatlity.

R.kelly's "Lost in your Love" has a Lionel Richie influence.

Michael Jackson "the girl is mine" is like a nod to LIonel and also

"i just can't stop loving you"

also Commodores songs which Lionel wrote throw them in as well.
