Lionel Richie - All Night Long

Lionel Brockman Richie (born June 20, 1949), is an American singer-songwriter, musician and record producer who has sold (solo or as group member) more than 100 million records. In recent years, Richie has become a phenomenon in various Arab states, and has performed in Morocco, Dubai, Qatar and Libya. ABC News said, "Grown Iraqi men get misty-eyed by the mere mention of his name. 'I love Lionel Richie,' they say. They can sing entire Lionel Richie songs. According to Richie, he was told that Iraqi civilians were playing "All Night Long" the night U.S. tanks invaded Baghdad. Richie was against the war, but says he could see a day when he would come and perform in Baghdad. Richie helped to raise over $3.1 million for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Richie's grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer in her 80s, but survived and lived until she was 104 years old. He stated that she was his enduring symbol of hope and his reason for becoming a breast cancer activist.
