Amazing Lionel Richie song:Lionel goes Queen

This song represent Lionel not going safe in his solo career for the only time.

It also represents Lionel as a composer and a musician.

Not so Many musicians can do a Queen like song without sounding forced but for some

reason Lionel did it great.

here is the link:

That ain't Queen-esque at all. That's pure Lionel. I listened as I was typing some stuff, and never once got a Queen vibe from it. In fact, it sounds more like something big and grand that Michael W. Smith or Amy Grant would have done in the 90's. It has that contemporary Christian feel to it, but it also reminds me of "Say You, Say Me" to some extent. Not Queen, though.

well, it's sure different than what i'm used to hear from Lionel, but not sure i like it.

The arrangements are very simple, too simple for a song like this.

He should have listened to Bohemian Rhaposy more. smile
