Lionel Richie’s 1982 self-titled debut launched one of the biggest solo careers of the 1980s.
Following his success with The Commodores, Richie stepped into a smoother, more polished pop-soul sound that would soon dominate radio. This album includes early solo hits and fan favorites:
“Truly” (No. 1 Billboard Hot 100)
“You Are”
“My Love”
“Serves You Right”
“Round and Round”
Produced by Lionel Richie and James Anthony Carmichael, this LP captures the transition from late-70s soul into 80s adult contemporary pop.
Classic early-80s Motown release in gatefold format.
