Lionel Richie
It seems like the acclaimed musician has been around for ever, but he only just turned 70 this summer. Richie was born in Alabama on June 20, 1949. He began his singing career as part of a soul band in the sixties, and was rather anonymous at the time.
However, he always had a soft spot for ballads and love songs, and in the beginning of the eighties the singer launched a solo career after spending years writing some of his most popular songs, such as “Easy,” “Still” and “Sail on.”
