I second all the votes for "Dancing on the Ceiling", as well as his immortal duet with Diana Ross, "Endless Love". But this is just the beginning of your Lionel journey. "Say You, Say Me" is a classic, as is "Running With the Night". Fun fact - this video was produced by Michael Nesmith of the Monkees!
Guys, THIS SONG just so happened to be the theme song of the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles that year; Richie performed it with a huge crew of dancers for the closing ceremonies. Sometimes it helps to be old(er) with a good memory.
That performance ran on, not for the planned 15 minutes, but over an hour! It started the tradition of having a party for the Olympic athletes at the last act of the closing ceremonies.
I remember that closing ceremony performance, it started with a giant flying saucer hovering over over the L.A. Memorial Coliseum, as the space aliens made contact to find out what this Olympic "party" was all about. It ended with several hundred break dancers performing on the field to this song. A television spectacle seen by millions around the world, and helped make this a worldwide hit, one of the biggest of 1983-84.
I was going to mention that. I remember that performance like it was last week. Felt like it would go on All Night Long -- the best arty ever in sports. By the way, that Olympic performance was the first-ever public performance of this song-- he saved it for that night..
When music was great When music was positive When music was innocent When music touched your heart ❤️ When music touched your soul When music made you smile When music made you feel like falling in love
I was born in 1955 in Alabama, so I graduated high school in 1974. Loved the Commodores and Lionel Richie's music. But after hearing part of his story, I really admire him as a person. One of his band members (and his girlfriend) had a real problem with drugs. Lionel and his wife offered to take care of their daughter until they could get clean and back on their feet. From what I understand, that never happened and after a couple of years they legally adopted the little girl. I don't know if you have ever heard of her. Her name is Nicole Richie.
I vote for "Stuck on You". How can they resist listening to Lionel singing a country song he wrote? But yeah, "Running with the Night" is awesome, too.
He did this during the closing celebrations of the Olympics years ago. With all the athletes of all the countries celebrating together. It was inspiring.
He sang this until you were like whoa!!! The athletes were partying like nobody's business! At the end it was "top this for a closing ceremony" I dare you!
I love Lionel with The Commodores that’s that 70s groove I always talking about, a decade with great music from various genres and we connected to most of them
Wife here..When my Husband and I hear this we talk about the joy of growing up in the eighties.., going to the record bar to get AMAZING songs like this..One.. of both of our first "records"..!!..Stunning in soooo many ways!!
Another one of Lionel’s greatest hits was the 1985 song “Say you, say me” written for the film “White Night” which starred two legendary dancers, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines. It went number one on the pop and r&b charts. Definitely should be on your list!
A little over a year ago, I stumbled upon reaction videos, and found Jay by himself. Growing up in the 80s, I am convinced it's THE best music, artists, movies and overall entertainment of any generation, and I actually stumbled across Jay's reactions while watching videos on TH-cam for the nostalgia of it. I found myself coming home after work, watching your reactions. Adding Amber took it a notch higher, because her emotional and genuine reactions add to what many of us who have loved this music for years is feeling...it's like sharing a genuine part of who we are with you guys. I still come home from work, sit down, and watch you guys experience a piece of myself, my heart, and who I am...it's truly a joy. Thank you Jay for also sharing yourself, your beautiful wife and kids with us. You named it correctly...cause after sharing so much of myself with you day in and day out, you guys truly are family. Much love from Dublin, Georgia.
Being a child of the 80’s I’ve probably heard this song thousands of times, but your reaction reminded me how huge this was, how fun it was… it represents the 80’s so well, and for the first time in 40 years it made me tear up and gave me chills.
This is my all time favourite Lionel Richie song from I think 1982, I think we had the best music 60s to the nineties. And love the fact you lovely couple appreciate the great music we enjoyed back then.❤❤❤.
He was at the zenith of his career where every song just hit the heights. The most important thing about this song, and the others of this period, is that it has stood the test of time. Still so good in every way.
Oh, gosh, when that little girl came out and you guys loved that so much, y'all made my eyes get all leaky. You two are just so sweet!! I bet your moms are so proud and happy! I'm 67 and remember vh1 & mtv first starting and watching it all the time, not even wanting to sleep or go to work. You two just fill my heart; thank you!
Your reaction to this song brought a tear of joy to my eyes. You're so right, music can bring people of all nationalitys and cultures together. Much love to all..!!!
I was living on South Padre Island when this hit the charts. I would walk my dog around midnight and this song would be blasting from every balcony! I was impossible not to dance to the beat.
People forget or just don't know how great and talented this man is and how BIG he was in the 70's & 80's. One of the greatest songwriters ever and he can play almost any instrument you please. Guitar, drums, bass, piano, horns, you name it.
Back in this time (70's & 80's) my family always listened to Casey Kasem's American Top 40. It was always exciting waiting for our favorite songs & finding out where they are on the singles chart. I remember when this one hit #1. It was getting close, and I said to my sisters, "I think #1 is that song that says "Fiestsa Forever!" 😅
@@dawg897 Ditto! That was one of the great things about hit music back then. The anticipation every week... Is my song going to take a giant leap? Is my song going to finally hit #1? Hearing that drum roll before he announces #1. It's a feeling today's generation can't understand, or don't even know existed!
Lionel Richie is such a great performer! I saw him in concert 3 years ago before the pandemic hit. He interacts with the audience a whole lot. Probably one of the best shows I’ve seen.
This is from his monster album "Can't Slow Down." This album competed for the number 1 spot back & forth with Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album for months. The whole album is awesome
"I just couldn't find the ending - I couldn't find all night long to save my life. I had everything, the verses, the middle part, all the stuff. I just did not have all night long. It took me forever to find it. And finally one night, the heavens opened up and came through." Lionel Ritchie.
A few of my favorite Lionel Richie songs that I'd recommend are: "Penny Lover," "Running with the Night," and "Stuck on You." I also love "Oh No" from the Commodores.
Lionel Ritchie performed "All Night Long" at the closing ceremonies of the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. All the athletes we dancing and everyone was having a great time. It was an amazing way to close out the ceremonies. It was such a joyous night. One of the best closing ceremonies I had ever seen!
My first introduction to this song was Lionel performing at the end of the 1984 Summer Olympics closing ceremony in Los Angeles. Literally an international party that seemed to last "all night long".
This is one of my faves by Lionel Richie, followed closely by “You Are,” “Dancing On The Ceiling,” and “Say You, Say Me.” He is such an 80s icon, always on the radio and his music was always enjoyable.
This song literally never gets old - every time I hear it I groove as much as I did when it came out. It is hard to tell you where you may have heard it because it was so well known it could have been multiple places, on tv, in the grocery store, etc.
Always loved the Latin flare in this song from the percussion and brass to the bold bright colors... But those things also span other cultures as well. We got a little Island sound as well as some African influence too. Fun song and great reaction.
Lionel Richie sang this song at the opening ceremonies of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. There were numerous moments from those opening ceremonies that gave me goosebumps, but seeing all of the athletes from all over the world dancing and enjoying this song was absolutely beautiful.
Aww you guys are so sweet, we love you guys too and this song ABSOLUTELY embodies this channel- the joy, the fun, the emotion that we all feel with music.
OMG I saw him open for Tina Turner sometime in the early to mid nineties and what a show. His hair was closely cropped at the time but for one of his Commodores songs, he donned a huge Afro wig and just brought the house down! Such a huge talent and entertainer.
This man is a legendary and iconic person of all times had many great hits such as SAY YOU, SAY ME, HELLO, ENDLESS LOVE what a man he desrves to be inducted in the hall of fame
"All Night Long (All Night)" (1983) was Lionel Richie's 5th Billboard Hot 100 single peaking @ #1 for 4 weeks. It was his 3rd #1 as a solo artist after leaving The Commodores. "Endless Love" w/ Diana Ross & "Truly" preceded it @ #1. The record also peaked @ #1 on the R&B/Soul chart for 7 weeks & hit #5 on the Dance chart. "All Night Long (All Night)" was Grammy nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Male Pop Vocal, Best Instrumental Arrangement Supporting Vocals & Best Producer.
This song represents what the 80s was all about. Everybody came together and was one big family because of music. Music crossed all barriers and brought everyone together
Love to see how you come alive to music. Your discovery of new sounds touches the heart. How lucky are we to have so many different genre’s of music? Music to fit every mood!
Thanks for doing this song guys. As a drummer and music lover for over 40 years, 3 years, this is one of my favorite songs of all time! what a wonderful world beat song. How do you not fall in love with it from the 1st time you hear it? So much intementation. Percussion. Strings. Horns. Yet it is still uncluttered and breathes. Shout out to other viewers for mentioning other great Lionel songs.
"Endless Love" - Lionel Richie and Diana Ross teamed up to produce what is easily in the top 5 of pop song duets of all time, if not the best ever. I highly recommend reacting to that song. In my estimation Richie is like Elvis and Billy Joel - A ton of hit songs, or even lesser known songs, you can review and get plenty of views. The number of quality songs Richie made/sang lead for from the 70s-80s is rivaled by very few singers. I have more personal favorites from ELO, John Denver, Marvin Gaye, The Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel, Sam Cooke, The Platters, and Dion and the Belmonts, but I can easily listen to almost any Lionel Richie song at any time with no gripes and it'll brighten my day. And, at the moment, I really can't think of another artist/group who offers as much of a sure thing.
Richard Marx "Right here Waiting" does the backing vocals on this song. Could you react to another Richard Marx song? "Satisfied" is a great song and his song "Hazard" is an amazing story telling song
Even though, usually, I listen to a completely different type of music, I must admit this song brings joy and love, and the video shows how we, just humans, not white, not black, not yellow, but just simply humans, can have fun together without prejudice and hate. :-)
I’ve seen so many different people, regardless of age, what kind of music they’re usually into, or anything like that, light up with a smile when this song is played because, as you say, it’s so human, and that’s what we all are. I’m glad to now see that smile on your faces, too. There are obviously still too many who need to figure out that we can all be different while recognizing the fact that we’re not really _that_ different.
One of the kids doing breakdancing i knew him. He was a friend of one of my cousins. I saw lionel in a boutique in west hollywood in the 80s. But what a small world. Hes Legendary Lionel Ritchie.
I was born in '69, so was 12-13 when this song was out. Always loved it along with the video... it really captured the feeling of those times. Miss the 80s a lot these days... the old clubs that are now gone, and all the people shopping at the malls. Thought back then it would last forever!

"Say You, Say Me" is a classic, as is "Running With the Night". Fun fact - this video was produced by Michael Nesmith of the Monkees!
P.S. Y'all are coming up on a QUARTER MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!!!

Michael Nesmith was the Father of MTV/Nickelodeon
Hold on ,didn't know that Monkees detail
“Dancing On The Ceiling” is soooo fun

Lionel Ritchie wrote over 100 hit songs for himself and various artists. The go to guy
yep yep
And Karen Carpenter sang over 100 songs!
Heck, Lionel wrote the huge #1 hit "Lady" for Kenny Rogers!
Boy I missed the 80s 😅
Him and Barry Gibb wrote so many ... Neil Diamond and Carol King also.
That little kid…the cutest child in the Universe at that moment.
She is his adopted daughter Nicole Richie
Lionel's "Dancing on the Ceiling" is another instant feel-good song.
yes
That's the video where I learned what a gimbal(spelling?) was. The set rotates on it creating the illusion of "dancing on the ceiling".
Yes, the official video is the only way to do "Dancing on the Ceiling."
They got the idea for the video for dancing on the ceiling from Fred Astaire film royal wedding in 1951.
@@sarablack2547 I did not know that - thanks!

I enjoyed listening to all their music Sweet Love is another great song!
So that’s why she got money, very interesting story.
You don't wanna know how long it was before I learned that Nicole Richie is THAT Richie. I was amazed.
Nicole Richie’s biological aunt is Sheila E (“Glamorous Life”), I believe her brother Peter Escovedo is the band member you referenced
Yeah, I know at one time Nicole had a problem with heroin. I hope she has gotten past that. I have not heard anything about her for several years
Love me some Lionel Richie!! He is definitely A GOAT
This song is great. It brings everyone together no matter what music you listen to. When they started singing in Swahili it was fire.
jambo nipe centi moja jambo jambo youre welcome
Next Lionel Richie song you should listen to is "Running With The Night" or "Love Will Conquer All", they're both great.
I vote for "Stuck on You". How can they resist listening to Lionel singing a country song he wrote? But yeah, "Running with the Night" is awesome, too.
@@btgiv6009 never knew he wrote Stuck On You! Beautiful song. ❤️
He was great with the Commodores and he ruled the 8o's on MTV and music awards. Love his music and your reaction. 👍
He did this during the closing celebrations of the Olympics years ago. With all the athletes of all the countries celebrating together. It was inspiring.
Best closing ceremony for an Olympics ever!
1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.
A great memory! The athletes were all dancing. Biggest party ever.
He sang this until you were like whoa!!! The athletes were partying like nobody's business! At the end it was "top this for a closing ceremony" I dare you!
I think I'd be completely star struck if I was anywhere near Lionel Ritchie. Greatest talent of our time.
I love Lionel with The Commodores that’s that 70s groove I always talking about, a decade with great music from various genres and we connected to most of them
Dancing On The Ceiling is another great feel good song by Lionel.
One of his biggest hits, it's the definition of a "feel good" song The video is also a perfect match for the song.
Wife here..When my Husband and I hear this we talk about the joy of growing up in the eighties.., going to the record bar to get AMAZING songs like this..One.. of both of our first "records"..!!..Stunning in soooo many ways!!
I still have My 70s & 80's Albums.
So cool!
This was a HUGE hit for a long time on the charts!
Running With Night, Dancing On The Ceiling....Lionel was a powerhouse for many years!
Another one of Lionel’s greatest hits was the 1985 song “Say you, say me” written for the film “White Night” which starred two legendary dancers, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines. It went number one on the pop and r&b charts. Definitely should be on your list!
Another one of those feel good 80's tunes, this was Lionel at his best, and that's saying something from an artist with such a rich musical history.

Also, Sweet Love and Zoom by the Commodores.
I have always loved this song... This is what we need more of and I have noticed in this generation this is what's missing.
Agree 💯 %!

That’s one of the things I loved about 80’s pop music. There was often an interesting rhythm from a different part of the world.

This has always been one my all-time favorite Lionel Riichie songs. Makes me smile, and want to dance, and lifts my heart every time I hear it.😀❤
I'm surprised nobody in the comments mentioned the slow song "Hello" it was a huge hit in 1984
You can't go wrong with anything Lionel. Next try Stuck On You or Say You Say me. Both are excellent, but all his music is.😘
Would add Hello to your list
Lionel has always been one of my favorites. Great singer great voice.
One of the 80s Best Party tones. Everybody Rock this number.
We couldn’t help but rock to this song… “all night long!
He sang on the finale of American Idol Sunday night & he's still got it! Such a talent! He has written a ton of songs for other artists, as well.
OMG I saw him open for Tina Turner sometime in the early to mid nineties and what a show. His hair was closely cropped at the time but for one of his Commodores songs, he donned a huge Afro wig and just brought the house down! Such a huge talent and entertainer.
I just love Lionel Richie. He has written so many songs that everyone can enjoy. His songs have been used it so many movies too.
The dance sequence was used in a Simpsons episode. An evergreen song which never grows old! The whole Can't slow down album is a must own!
Yup. I bought it when it was first released - and still have it in my vinyl collection.
@@kellylaflash1016 it is a masterpiece! One of the best black pop records ever made. Every song, if released could have been a hit!
Lionel Ritchie is the man
My favorite Lionel track at last. His other big solo track is "Dancing on the ceiling".
It wouldn't have been the 80's without Lionel Richie. X)
I would like to make a suggestion for female Friday, Dido (White Flag) or (I Want To Thank You) both songs are great, she has an incredible voice.
I agree..!!! A fantastic song.
White Flag is a gorgeous song. Defintely second that one.
This man is a legendary and iconic person of all times had many great hits such as SAY YOU, SAY ME, HELLO, ENDLESS LOVE what a man he desrves to be inducted in the hall of fame
I think he sang this song at the Los Angeles Olympics ceremony. My Mom taped it off the tv on VHS. Wow, I feel old.
This was the Olympic theme song and he performed it with a giant cast of dancers during the closing ceremonies.

Richard Marx "Right here Waiting" does the backing vocals on this song. Could you react to another Richard Marx song? "Satisfied" is a great song and his song "Hazard" is an amazing story telling song
🤩 wow, I had forgotten how beautiful this video was!! ❤️Lionel Richie is one of a kind 👏🏻🎼❤️
Even though, usually, I listen to a completely different type of music, I must admit this song brings joy and love, and the video shows how we, just humans, not white, not black, not yellow, but just simply humans, can have fun together without prejudice and hate. :-)
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I’ve seen so many different people, regardless of age, what kind of music they’re usually into, or anything like that, light up with a smile when this song is played because, as you say, it’s so human, and that’s what we all are. I’m glad to now see that smile on your faces, too. There are obviously still too many who need to figure out that we can all be different while recognizing the fact that we’re not really _that_ different.
Please please please react to more Foo Fighters! You don't understand the greatness you're missing out on
My fav Lionel Richie! He is so cool. Such a sweet man.
Right back to my late childhood, early teens, this was such a HUGE hit in the immediate post disco era. Such great memories of times with this song.
Yes, variety is the spice of life,lol! Love Lionel Richie, so incredibly talented. Thanks Amber and Jay!
Lionel Ritchie ,so many amazing hit songs!
1000% 1980s !!! the sound, music, clothes. Love Lionel. Thanks, J and Amber.
Great Lionel Richie song....I also love Dancing on the Ceiling.
How I loved when Lionel can't out with a new song. He is so amazing!!!
This was massive in the UK & takes me back to clubbing in the early 80’s, we love Lionel here 😬🎶❤️
One of the kids doing breakdancing i knew him. He was a friend of one of my cousins. I saw lionel in a boutique in west hollywood in the 80s. But what a small world. Hes Legendary Lionel Ritchie.
this song so embodies the 1980's for me, it actually brings tears to my eyes
I was born in '69, so was 12-13 when this song was out. Always loved it along with the video... it really captured the feeling of those times. Miss the 80s a lot these days... the old clubs that are now gone, and all the people shopping at the malls. Thought back then it would last forever!
This song took Mr. Richie from Star to Superstar. This song was everywhere in the 80's when I was growing up.
One of my fave Lionel.Richie tunes is a lesser known one called Ballerina Girl. He wrote it about his daughter and it is just gorgeous.
Awww ... yes, the two from Lionel Richie that I really liked, everyone has already mentioned.
"Dancing on the Ceiling"
"Say You, Say Me"
Certainly a feel good dancing song when people were happy. They played the heck out of this song on the radio back in the day.
Well we love you too❤️ I love all night long. He also has another dancing on the ceiling and that’s a great one too.
