Lionel Richie Live in Kuala Lumpur @ Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, Kuala Lumpur

Richie began working outside the Commodores in 1980, after Kenny Rogers’ hit version of “Lady” led to him producing the singer’s 1981 album “Share Your Love.” “Endless Love,” his 1981 chart-topping duet with Diana Ross (covered in 1994 by Luther Vandross and Mariah Carey), was Motown’s most successful single and further fueled Richie’s solo ambitions. In 1982, the release of his self-titled solo quadruple platinum Motown debut set Lionel on a record-breaking pathway to global superstardom:1983’s ten-million-selling “Can’t Slow Down”—which won a Grammy for Album of the Year – was followed by 1986’s massively-successful “Dancing on the Ceiling.”

But ever eager to satisfy the loyal global audience he has amassed over almost three decades of solo music-making (following a hit-filled decade with The Commodores), Lionel Richie is stepping up once again with JUST GO, his third Island set since 2001. It’s an album with a decided musical twist, Lionel working with three of today’s hottest hitmakers – Tricky Stewart & The Dream (Mariah Carey, Usher), Stargate (Ne-Yo, Shakira, Rihanna) and hitmaker in his own right, Akon.

With JUST GO, Lionel Richie demonstrates his unparalleled ability to remain a constant musical presence of the first order. JUST GO caps a period of non-stop activity for the Alabama-born entertainer, whose many career accomplishments include five Grammy Awards, an Oscar, eleven American Music Awards, five People’s Choice Awards and a “World Music Lifetime Achievement Award” with a much-deserved Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame: Grammy voters continued to show their appreciation for Lionel’s work with two 2007 nominations, for COMING HOME as “Best R&B Album” and the album’s memorable hit single, “I Call It Love” for “Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.”

In 2007, Lionel’s “Live In Paris” DVD (with accompanying CD) was a reminder of his global appeal and the dynamic, energetic performances that have endeared him to audiences for over three decades
