In Spot #88 we feature an artist who has already made the Top 100 Albums in position #90 …. Lionel Richie with his album Dancing on the Ceiling. This his 3rd album as a solo artist was released in August 1985 and sold in excess of 4.6m copies.
Dancing on the Ceiling
Surprisingly this the title track was NOT a number one hit single peaking at #2. The biggest hit was definitely the song recorded for the White Nights movie ….
Say You, Say Me
As we go down
Life's lonesome highway,
Seems the hardest thing to do
Is to find a friend or two.
That helping hand,
Someone who understands
That when you feel you lost your way
You've got someone there to say.
I'll show you.
Lyrics
There were a couple of other hits from the album and some funky dance tunes (the hits Ballerina Girl and Love Will Conquer All) which I am not going to include here, but rather the funky Night Train …. Get those feet tapping and the head bobbing ….. play it loud !!!
Night Train …. I love the start and then the track seems to go nowhere {smile}…oooops, pun NOT intended !!
As always, thanks for stopping by and your support is fully appreciated
