"Simplicity", said Richie, "Is the key to what I do." This is a surprising statement from a celebrity whose achievements are anything but simple. Richie has sold nearly 100 million albums and is tied with only Irving Berlin for having scored No. 1 hits in nine consecutive years. Some of Richies' biggest hits include "Truly",
"Stuck on You", "Still", "Dancing on the Ceiling", "All Night Long", "Hello", "Endless Love"(a duet with Diana Ross) and "Easy".
Starting his career as co-founder and member of the Motown group The Commodores, Richie skyrocketed to stardom and later pursued a solo career. Richies' most recent album is entitled Just for You and includes songs with Daniel Bedingfield and Lenny Kravitz. Richie recently co-hosted and performed on the ABC Television special Motown 45.
