Happy Monday! Yeah, right. Yesterday was daylight savings, we lost an hour and I spent all night trying to find it. Unfortunately, I didn't and I am tired as hell this morning. But thanks to my revered membership in the Official Lionel Richie Fan Club, I received the first two videos this morning to wake me up and bring a little joy into my Monday. (I added the last three videos as a bonus!)
Surprisingly, I have never seen the first two videos - I know, can you believe it? Enjoy!
Not sure what purpose Tyra serves??
Just sexy! HHMMM!
This one I have on DVD. Note: Nicole Richie cameo (she's about 12)
This next was not available to embed, but here's a link. You've got to check this one out. (Shut it up Heather Locklear!) This clip is from a 1980 Commodore concert (in Las Vegas NV). This is still one of my FAVORITE Lionel Richie songs. You just gotta love the shag, the open top with the gold necklaces and the sequins! It's a wonder I never had seizure from all the sparkling going on. My grandparents used to have this entire concert on BETAMAX - for you youngins' that was before VHS. Whenever I went to my grandparents house, I would sit in their basement and watch this concert. I memorized every line, dance step and note. I memorized every inflection in his voice and every drip of sweat off his chin. Watching this takes me back to 1983. Listen to Lionel's sermon (TRIVIA: Lionel wanted to be a preacher before he joined The Commodores) at the end. PREACH! "Everybody knows what the solution is" It's funny how all the words came rushing back, even after 25 years.
