Lionel Richie released his self-titled debut album, Lionel Richie, in 1982. The album hit #3 on the music charts and sold over 4 million copies. His 1983 follow up album, Can't Slow Down, sold over twice as many copies and won the Grammy Award for the Album of the Year in 1984. His third album, Dancing on the Ceiling, which was released in 1986, spawned such hits as "Say You, Say Me", "Dancing on the Ceiling" and "Se La", but it also signified the end of his large commercial success.
Lionel Richie's albums in the '90s, such as Louder Than Words and Time, all failed to achieve the previous decade's commercial success. Some of his recent work, such as the album Renaissance, has returned to his older style, achieving success in Europe, but little in the United States.
In November 2005, Lionel Richie performed with Kenny Rogers on a CMT Crossroads special. The show gave an informative insight into their friendship both in and out of the music world. Lionel Richie was also the headliner at a 2006 Fourth of July tribute concert with Fantasia Barrino at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Lionel Richie's latest album, Coming Home, was released in fall 2006. The first single of the album is called "I Call It Love" and was premiered in July 2006 with his adopted daughter, Nicole Richie, starring in the track's music video.
