He rose to fame in the 1970s as a songwriter and the co-lead singer of funk band, the Commodores; writing and recording the hit singles "Easy", "Sail On", "Three Times a Lady" and "Still", with the group before his departure.

Nearly 60 million albums sold, five Grammy's, twenty two top ten hits, an Oscar for best song, a golden globe, a treasure chest of People's choice and American Music Awards too numerous to count, and a discography of albums and singles navigate an emotional landscape that only few writer/performers have ever truly captured.

Hire Lionel Richie for your festival or concert plans!

Like the legends he admires, from Sinatra to Santana, Lionel Richie knows what it's like to hear a door close. He has survived the rollercoaster ride of the music business by refusing to let others define him. The Lionel Richie story has always been about making that leap of faith with no net.

Lionel Richie has achieved his amazing run by relating simply and honestly to the people who now celebrate his records as quintessential moments in their lives.

Hire Lionel Richie for your very special event or occasion!

When he left the Commodores in 1981 to pursue a solo career, his fans rolled with him. They watched Lionel become one of the most successful artists of the '80's, earning a string of 13 top ten hits between 1981 and 1987, including five number 1 singles "Endless Love," "Truly," "All Night Long (All Night)," "Hello," and "Say You (Say Me)."

His 1982 self-titled album established a run of platinum plus discs throughout the 80's. "Can't Slow Down" (released in 1983) sold 20 million units worldwide and 1986's "Dancing On The Ceiling" became a pop and R&B classic (and included the Oscar nominated song "Say You Say Me"). Lionel Richie also, somehow found time to co-write with Michael Jackson what eventually would become pop's most famous anthem, the Live-Aid tune "We Are The World."

1996 saw him emerge with the critically acclaimed "Louder Than Words," which Lionel says "revealed another level of maturity in my work because of what I went through."

He followed that up with 1998's "Time." Inspired by a new family, Lionel began work on the disc soon after "Louder Than Words."

"I didn't tour after 'Louder Than Words,' which was unusual for me. That album cleared the air a lot. It got rid of a lot of baggage. 'Time' was a healing record."

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK/HIRE LIONEL RICHIE?
(i.e., what is the booking fee to hire LIONEL RICHIE for an event?)
(i.e., what is LIONEL RICHIE booking fee to perform at an event?)

Factors influencing pricing vary and may include date, location, type of event, whether a private party or a public concert, the artist's calendar, whether the artist is on tour or not, how well tickets are selling at the artist's concerts, the current demand for the artist's music, market activity, etc.

As you might expect, the more in-demand the artist is, the more buyers are prepared to pay. Of course, this causes the artist's price to increase as the artist becomes more popular or decrease when becoming less popular.

Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at anytime. Generally, the artist's manager has a role in the decision to accept any particular offer from a talent buyer.
