Lionel Richie - "Running With The Night"

[Unhinged]

The second single from Can't Slow Down. I'm not a huge fan of his but he does have some excellent songs, this being one. Peaked at No. 7 in early 1984. MJ's influence is all over this one, video included.

One of my favorite solo singles by him.

I love this song by Lionel. I remember loving it as a kid too; my parents had a cassette they would play in the car on road trips and this was one of the songs on it. Anyway, one of my favorite Lionel songs for sure. That guitar solo is dynamite, and I also like how Rihanna sampled the song on "Push Up On Me."

[Soulsista]

I like it.

Hit #6 on the R&B chart.

Probably one of his best - if not the best - uptempos for me. The sound of it perfectly captures the vibe of the title.

Like this one a lot.

Once again another 80's song that was in the soundtrack for 2002's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

One of my faves by him.

Wasn't too crazy over it initially but it is slowly growing on me.  "All Night Long" is still my favorite as far as his solo hits are concerned.
