Lionel Richie's 1982 self-titled album established a run of platinum plus discs throughout the 80's. "Can't Slow Down" (released in 1983) sold 20 million units worldwide and 1986's "Dancing On The Ceiling" became a pop and R&B classic (and included the Oscar nominated song "Say You Say Me"). Lionel Richie also, somehow found time to co-write with Michael Jackson what eventually would become pop's most famous anthem, the Live-Aid tune "We Are The World".
