I’m
not sure why I have this - I think it may have something I pilfered from my
parent’s collection when I was starting to listen to vinyl in a big way. For
years it remained on my shelf, unlistened to, and then I noticed it had a song
- Running With The Night - that
featured on the soundtrack to Grand Theft
Auto: Vice City. I’m glad I finally listened to it, as the rest of the
album isn’t half-bad.Bookended by his big US #1 solo hits - All Night Long (All Night) and Hello - the album is his second solo output after leaving The Commodores, and is full of hits. Each of the five singles taken from the album charted in the US Top 10 - not a bad start for somebody described by one critic as ‘the black Barry Manilow’.
My good friend Roger used to use a ticket stub from a Lionel Richie concert as a bookmark, mainly as a conversation starter to meet girls on the train during his commute to work. Apparently it worked most of the time.
Hit: Hello
Hidden Gem: Running With The Night
