Lionel Richie: A Songbook the Whole World Knows

Lionel Richie is one of the most successful songwriters in popular music history. He first reached audiences as a member of the Commodores, the funk and soul group behind hits like "Easy," "Brick House," and "Three Times a Lady." Even then, his gift for melody and emotion was unmistakable, and it pointed toward the solo career that would make him a global superstar.

Going solo at the start of the 1980s, Richie became inescapable. His self-titled debut and the blockbuster album Can't Slow Down produced a remarkable run of singles, and "All Night Long (All Night)" became one of the defining party anthems of the decade. Ballads like "Hello," "Truly," and "Stuck on You" showed a different side -- a songwriter who could break hearts as easily as he could fill a dance floor.

His influence reaches well beyond his own records. Richie co-wrote the charity anthem "We Are the World" with Michael Jackson, has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, received Kennedy Center Honors, and introduced his songbook to a new generation as a longtime judge on American Idol. He has also held a celebrated Las Vegas residency that keeps his catalog in front of audiences year-round.

The Sing a Song All Night Long tour pairs Richie with Earth, Wind & Fire, the trailblazing band behind "September," "Shining Star," and "Let's Groove." As co-headliners, the two acts deliver a double dose of legendary catalog, making each night a nonstop celebration of soul, pop, and R&B.

The tour has been routed through major arenas nationwide, including the United Center in Chicago, Madison Square Garden in New York, TD Garden in Boston, Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, and UBS Arena on Long Island. That coast-to-coast routing has put this co-headline event within reach of fans in markets large and small.
