Lionel Richie
Lionel Brockman Richie, Jr. - born June 20, 1949 in Tuskegee, Alabama
- is an American R&B singer, songwriter, composer, and occasional actor
who got his start as the front man for the Commodores, a nationally
popular Motown band during the 70's. They had several hits such as
'Easy', 'Three Times a Lady', and probably the Commodores' most famous
hit, 'Brick House'.
 Richie quit the band in '81 for a solo career. He released his
self-titled debut in 1982. The album hit No. 3 on the charts and sold
over 4 million copies. His follow up album, 'Can't Slow Down', sold over
twice as many copies and won the Grammy for Album of the Year in '84.
His third album, '86's Dancing on the Ceiling spawned such hits as 'Say
You, Say Me', 'Dancing on the Ceiling', and 'Se La'. His 90's albums
failed to achieve the previous commercial success. Some of his recent
work, such as the album Renaissance, has returned to his older style,
hoping to achieve more success.
Angel
I just want to tell you all the things you are
And all the things you mean to me
You've been with me forever
Through the changes in my life
Through all the tears and laughter
When I find myself believing there's no place to go
When I feel the loneliness inside my heart
You're the answer to my prayers
And you're with me everywhere
You're my angel, miracle, you're all I need tonight
Give me shelter from the rain
You breathe life in me again
You're my angel, miracle, you're all I need to know, tonight
Life is just a moment
We're blowing in the wind
We're trying to find a friend
And only time can tell us
If win or if we lose
And who will stand beside us
When there's darkness all around me
You're the light I see
When I need someone to ease my troubled mind
You're the answer to my prayers
And you're with me everywhere
You're my angel, miracle, you're all I need tonight
Give me shelter from the rain
You breathe life in me again
You're my angel, miracle, you're all I need to know, tonight
You're all I need tonight
All I need tonight
All I need tonight
You're my angel
You're the answer to my prayers
And you're with me everywhere
You're my angel, miracle, you're all I need tonight
Give me shelter from the rain
You breathe life in me again
You're my angel, my miracle, you're all I need to know, tonight |
