I gave up on Lionel ever since he turned in his funk badge, and started singing these lame-ass pop songs. | |

 it's by far one of lionel's best solo efforts and of the greatest songs of the 80's
If you wanna hear Lionel's best song as a solo artist,listen to "Love Will Find A Way" from the 'Can't Slow Down' album 
"Say You,Say Me" is mid-80s,commercial,pop balladry garbage.That song makes me wanna vomit. I actually like the "Can't Slow Down" album, but "Say you Say Me" was the worse song on the album. | |

I agree w/ Soul Alive and the others.."Love Will Find".. was one of coolest solo joints. If I'm correct there was even a video for it.
Lionel is starting to embrace his Commodores past a little bit. The BET concert he did recently was pretty good. | |

It appears on the 'Dancing On The Ceiling' album. . [Edited 6/5/07 0:25am] | |

Its that song a cover?Nope,it's an original Lionel Richie composition.It stands out on the album....a really soulful,Quiet Storm track that wouldn't have sounded out of place on a Frankie Beverly and Maze album. | |

Even some of the material on in the pocket was watered down. Nothing can take the place of that good old funk and soul from the commodores early motown days but i still dug a couple of songs from lionel's first 2 solo efforts but when he came out with that dancing on the ceiling bullshit that was when i kicked lionel to the curb as a solo artist.
Me too! It was the 'Dancing On The Ceiling' album that made me lose interest in Lionel.He had totally soldout by that point.I still cringe whenever I see the video for the title track  It was hard to believe that this was the same Lionel who gave us all those jams with the Commodores back in the 70s. | |

SoulAlive said: daPrettyman said: I TOTALLY AGREE! After "Can't Slow Down" was such a big hit, Lionel decided 2 go stright pop for the next album and it was HORRIBLE. "Love Will Find A Way" is my favorite solo Lionel Song. It is great vocally as well as musically. I agree,"Love Will Find A Way" is Lionel at his best! I can't believe they didn't release it as a single.It's the most soulful thing he's ever done as a solo act. 'Say You,Say Me' is awful,and I'm not too fond of the 'Dancing On The Ceiling' album either.It leans a little too heavily on the pop side I love "Love Will Find Away" | |

Lionel is starting to embrace his Commodores past a little bit. The BET concert he did recently was pretty good. You are thinking about "Love Will Conquer All" from Dancing On The Ceiling. It was a single and there is a video for it. "Love Will Find A Way" was not a single. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

It's not about him growing older...it's about him selling out completely. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Alot of people get those two songs mixed up I always thought that "Love Will Conquer All" is an obvious clone of "Love Will Find A Way". | |

i read on all music guide article about lionel and reviewer on that site amazed me when he said :"that lionel richie never had good voice for funk anyway"
what a stupid line. lionel had very funky voice and his "owwwa " is in tradition with sugarfoot from ohio players. i think if lionel stopped making music in the 1982 he would be consider to be a music legend,legendary funk musician. but i think if he reunites with commodores and leave live dvd and album it still wouldnt be late | |

it's by far one of lionel's best solo efforts and of the greatest songs of the 80'sThe first time I heard it,I knew he was reaaly going pop here and I knew the older fans would hate it. And it IS a commercial sell out single but I cna understand why U have grat memories when U hear this song. Even I have some good memories,dancing with the girl I thought never would dance with me All though I had some trouble on the dancefloor when the up-tempo part kick in
Really,this is Lionel selling out but 4 those who just got 2 know the man it was a fun song. Love4oneanother | |
