It was a joy to talk with Lionel Richie, partly because I share his love for all the three heroes whose songs he chooses as core influences on his art: The Temptations, My Girl; Sam Cooke, A Change is Gonna Come and Marvin Gaye, What's Goin' On. Hearing all three in succession leads us directly into his own smooth soul classics such as Easy Like Sunday Morning. Lionel also talks to me about feeling out of place as a teenager, and the shyness that kept him from even kissing girls in the audience during concerts by The Commodores. It is a lazy chat with Lionel and - would sound particularly good on an easy Sunday Morning!
