The Top #100 R&B Slow Jams #25 | Lionel Richie – Hello
Good Evening to our reading and listening enthusiasts…
We come back to you with another addition to our widely received collection – Our Top 100 R&B Slow Jams, and at #25 tonight, we bring you not only a classic, but now considered a staple of R&B music:
Former lead singer of The Commodores and now successful solo recording artist, Lionel Richie and his big mellow hit “Hello”.
This ballad was both touching and memorable by means of an exceptional video storyline and gratifying lyrical content. As the listener was moved by a smooth delivery of the ivory keys, they were also accepting of a very sensitive love song that conquered various different musical landscapes. For this hit single reached Billboard at #1 back in 1984 on three separate charts (R&B, Pop & Adult Contemporary). It also was widely considered a great wedding reception request or ceremony theme song as well.
“Hello” can be found on the album ‘Can’t Slow Down’ back in 1984 on Motown Records.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Our #25 pick is looking right at cha’: Its Lionel Richie and “Hello”!
