I’m a day late but it’s been 40 years since Diana Ross and Lionel Richie performed Endless Love at the 54th Annual Academy Awards in 1982!

The song was named the greatest duet of all time by the Billboard charts! (Sheesh!😅)

It was used as the theme for Franco Zeffirelli’s film Endless Love

The song was originally recorded for Motown

It was written and produced by Lionel Richie

The song reached number one on the charts, and stayed there for 9 weeks straight! (From August 15th - October 10th, 1981)

It reached number 7 in the UK, and also topped the Billboard R&B charts

The song became one of the highest selling single’s of Diana Ross’ career

Lionel Richie and Diana Ross eventually ended up recording solo versions of the song themselves (Diana Ross for her album Why do Fools Fall in Love and Lionel Richie for his self-titled album)

The song was nominated for an Academy Award for a Best Original Song (A first for Lionel and a second for Diana)

The song won an award for Favorite Pop/Rock Single at the 1982 American Music Awards

Lionel eventually re-recorded the song with country legend Shania Twain in 2012 for lead single of his album Tuskegee!

#lionel richie #1980s #diana ross #i just wish they’d sing it live one more time #but then I kind of don’t #i don’t know #from his book I can’t really tell if there’s any bad blood between them #it seems like there isn’t but from the book it seemed like their relationship didn’t end on the nicest note #but this was way back with the Commodores #I hope they’ve patched things up since then #i know he definitely wants to sing it again with her #he’s a clown for that one😂 #but no I hope they sing it just one more time #it would be cute all these years later #I’m surprised he didn’t post it yesterday #I’m surprised I even remembered myself💀 #cause I had totally forgot #what a true fan I am lol🙃😂💀 #Youtube #i love this version because it gives a bit of footage from right before when they sing #like it shows them arriving #and I’m a fan of Brenda 😂 #love her #and it’s the ACTUAL AUDIO! #I noticed a lot of other versions take the visual from the performance but take the audio from the studio version which SUCKS😒 #you can’t hear the way Lionel’s mic is barely turned up at the beginning😂 #or even how nervous he kinda sounds to start out #or how passionate they both get by the end😂 #that’s the good stuff😌💀😂

This interview!!! I’ve been looking for it for ages! I’m so happy someone decided to upload it onto YouTube!

He’s such a cutie in this

#Youtube

[scruffylionel]

It’s been such a long time😭💀😂But I’m back now and I’m starting off with a flashback Friday post courtesy of the man himself! Enjoy

#lionel richie #youtube #i love (1) man #this is the early 2000s for sure #early 2000s lr is underappreciated #look at the curls #amazing #Angel #that’s my jam #i posted about it before I think the lyrics are just so good on this one #truly a classic #he’s a cutie

[scruffylionel]

I totally stumbled upon this video and I don’t regret it one bit😂I wasn’t even really looking for it but I’m SO glad I found it😌

For such a long time now I assumed that this man did NOT go on a promotional tour, or that if he did, he didn’t do it in the US😅I’m glad it turns out that he did, sorta…lol

He is TOO fine in this interview😍 the beard is nearly in full effect and I love it🥰

That iconic bracelet of his👀😏

I could listen to his voice for hours😌his speaking voice is just as smooth and soothing as his singing voice🥰

His smile is absolute perfection😍

I NEED to find that ‘All Night Long’ performance of his now😭 the little spin he did?😂He’s adorable

HANDS😍that’s it😂🤷🏽‍♀️

I think I’m gonna make gifs of this video because it’s such a treasure😌☺️

#lionel richie #he’s a cutie #i honestly don’t know how the host kept it together during that interview #1990s #louder than words #promo #being this fine is a crime #Youtube

[scruffylionel]

Lionel is SUCH a cutie in this interview😍

This interview was such a hassle to find😭

I think someone recently posted it on YouTube but prior to that the only footage that was up from his entire appearance on the show was the performance itself and NOT the interview😒

He’s so tall lol, like just watching him walk in and seeing his legs crossed, his legs go on for miles😂 and he looks like a GREAT hugger

He speaks with such a great reverence for everyone, from David Foster to the Osmonds, he’s just such a kindhearted man

He really loved that break😂 but it’s so sad that he missed out on so much😔so I’m glad he took that break lol

Like I said before I believe, he’s just so introspective

Not “Wimbleton”🥴😂

His smile when he said he remarried recently😁😂he’s adorable, and I know he MEANT it when he said writing a love song in the middle of a divorce was kind of odd💀his smile in general is 😍😍😍

Awww he postponed the tour for Sofia😍he’s such a great Dad😂

This albums is 👌🏽😌 alright, that’s enough for now💀😂

#lionel richie #youtube #i love (1) man #he’s a cutie #he was slept on in the 90s i swear he was #90s Lionel reigns supreme😍
