Lionel Richie’s album Can’t Slow Down is the definition of 80’s music. Whenever I think about 80’s music artists Lionel Richie always comes to mind. His song All Night Long played all over the place and for a good reason.

I never paid attention to that. Lionel Richie’s Hello is a song about a stalker. I think todays teen and young population would‘ve went straight to Twitter and Tiki Toki to cancel him because of the music video.

Hold on a second!!! Mrs. Eighties and Mr. Eighties??? Mrs. Eighties I just laughed like I never laughed before!! It really does look like he is stalking the blind girl! He kind of reminds me of Michael Myers popping up all over the place while stalking his victim except it's Lionel Richie!!!
