Three landmark albums in the early solo career of one of the biggest R&B-pop crossover artists in history, Lionel Richie, will be reissued on vinyl in December 2017 courtesy of Motown/UMe. Richie's self-titled solo debut of 1982, the following year's Can't Slow Down and 1985's Dancing On The Ceiling were all multi-million-selling, hit-filled releases by the recent Kennedy Centre Honoree, whose career album sales now exceed 100 million. Collectively, these three memorable '80s albums contained four No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and no fewer than ten Top 10 singles on the pop, R&B and Adult Contemporary charts. With Dancing On The Ceiling, Richie expanded his global stardom and success with quadruple platinum sales in the U.S. alone, and such singles as the Academy Award-winning "Say You, Say Me," written for the Cold War thriller White Knights. The album also featured the feelgood title track and "Love Will Conquer All," which gave Richie his tenth No. 1.
