As far as I am concerned Lionel Richie is God. I'm prepared to overlook Nicole and the terrible Hello video because he is a genius.
Nothing sums up his talent quite like All Night Long (All Night). It's a song that makes you want to dance in the streets and kiss strangers. I love it and it sums up summer for me. It's also the perfect wedding song - everyone dances to this.
So, kick back, get a Freeze popsicle out and remember the 80s. I'll be back with a wider Lionel appreciation post soon.
The video is directed by my all-time favourite Monkee, Mike Nesmith (damn he was fine, and he's very suave and attractive at 69!). You know about my Monkee obsession, right?
ReplyDeleteI did not know but I applaud!
ReplyDeleteI've just Googled -ooooh, THAT Monkee. Yes, he would be my favourite Monkee too if I'd given this any thought. I did not know he directed this fine video. Thanks for the info. x
