Tuesday Timewarp: Forget Nicole... Here's Lionel

I wasn't a huge Lionel Richie fan in my day, but he did create one of the best Latin based pop songs of the early 80s and one of the best dance videos ever made. (Think of how NEW some of this dance was to the American public.)



Doesn't this totally make you miss bright colors, chunky jewelry and perms?

Ok, there's a new Law & Order on tonight. Gotta go!

Yeah. This was a pretty cool song but I have to say I almost never find myself missing bright colors and chunky jewelry, except after waking from some of my more, uh, bizarre dreams, the details of which decorum dictate I not press upon you.

Hi. Dig your blog so far. I found you via JenX67.

BTW: I did, on more than one occassion, style my hair like the FOS singer.

The song may technically be Latin-tinged, but wow, does he ever suck the life force out of that genre. Honestly, I'd never considered the roots of this song before, having tried to permanently block it from my brain long ago.

It sure is a good video, though. I dig his magical powers to make people dance on command.
