LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Lionel Richie was dancing on the ceiling Friday after receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

An estimated 500 people gathered at the Hollywood Boulevard ceremony and sang "Happy Birthday" to Richie, who celebrated turning 54 on the day of the event.

Among those in attendance were comedian Jay Leno, who teased the singer about the location of the star. "What an honor to be in front of a parking garage," Leno said.

"Let me tell you why I chose this location," Richie jokingly responded. "This will not always be a parking structure. It will be a fine building with Lionel Richie's name at the front door."

Richie is an original member of "The Commodores" whose solo hits include "Truly," "Hello," "Dancing on the Ceiling" and "All Night Long."

Man, it's great to see that Lionel got a star! He's a legend and one of the greats of Soul and RnB. Wouldn't a Commodores reunion be awesome!?

Insulting that he would get it the same year as Britney f**king Spears!

Congrats to Lionel!

But isn't Lionel a kind of no talent hack?
