ʻO ka mea mele kaulana, haku mele a me ka mea hana mai ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ʻo Lionel Richie, ʻo ia ka lua ma ka kaulana wale nō iā Michael Jackson a me Prince i ka waena o 80s.
ʻO kāna hana nui i pili i ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā ballads nani, aloha, naʻau. Ua lanakila pinepine ʻo ia i ka piko o ka TOP-10 "hot" hits ʻaʻole ma ʻAmelika wale nō, akā ma nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe.
Hoʻopili paʻa ʻia kāna ʻoihana me nā ʻano mele e like me ka rhythm and blues a me ka pōhaku palupalu. ʻO Lionel Richie ka mea nona nā makana ʻAmelika a me ka honua. He mea hoihoi kona inoa i ka poʻe connoisseurs o ke mele, no laila he mea pono e haʻi e pili ana i ka biography, ke ala ʻoihana a me ke ola pilikino o kēia mele a me ka haku mele.
ʻIke e pili ana i ka moʻolelo o Lionel Richie
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Lionel Richie ma Iune 20, 1949 ma Tuskegee, Alabama. Ua aʻo nā mākua o Richie Jr. ma kahi kula kaiaulu.
No ka mea he poʻe ʻAmelika ʻAmelika lākou, pono lākou e noho ma kahi pā kula haumāna, no laila ʻaʻohe kapua a palekana ka wā kamaliʻi a me ka ʻōpio o ka wā e hiki mai ana a me ka hōkū pōhaku palupalu.
Ma ke kula, ua komo ikaika ʻo ia i ka tennis a ua kūleʻa ʻo ia i kēia haʻuki, ʻo ia i kona wā ʻōpio i ʻae iā ia e loaʻa i kahi haʻawina a lanakila maikaʻi i nā hōʻike no ke komo ʻana i ke kulanui kūloko.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana, makemake ʻo Lionel e kākau inoa i ka papa Theology, akā ma hope ua hoʻololi i kona manaʻo.
ʻO ka wā makemake i ke mele
I ka wā nui o ka neʻe ʻana o ka hippie (i waena o nā makahiki 60 o ke kenekulia XX), ua hoihoi ʻo Richie Jr. i ke mele a aʻo i ka hoʻokani saxophone.
Ua ʻae ʻia ʻo ia i loko o ka hui kulanui ʻo The Commondores, nāna i hoʻokani i nā mele ma ke ʻano o ka rhythm and blues, a ua lilo ʻo ia i mea hoʻokani leo nui i loko. I ka manawa like, ua haku ʻo ia i nā mele a me nā mele no kāna hana ponoʻī.
ʻElua o kāna haku mele (Easy, Three Times a Lady) nā mele kaulana loa o ka hui haumāna. I ka makahiki 1968, ua kau inoa ʻo ia i kahi ʻaelike maikaʻi me ka hale mele mele ʻo Motown Records, a ua hoʻomaka ka ʻoihana o ka hui e "piʻi i luna."
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā 80s o ke kenekulia i hala, ua hoʻomaopopo ʻo Lionel Richie ua mākaukau ʻo ia no nā hana solo a haʻalele i ka hui, i hana ʻia ma ke kulanui.
ʻO ka album solo a Richie Jr., i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka makahiki 1981, ua kūʻai ʻia aku e ka 4 miliona mau kānaka. Ma hope o ke kākau ʻana a me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i kāna album mele lua (Can't Slow Down), ʻike ʻia ʻo Lionel ʻo ia ka mea hoʻokani maikaʻi loa o nā ballads aloha a ua loaʻa iā ia ʻelua mau makana Grammy.
ʻO ka moʻolelo lanakila loa a Richie, ʻo ia ka hula ma ka pāpaku. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ma hope o kona hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana a me ka lanakila nui, ua hoʻomaka ka mea mele i ka hana ʻana i nā mea i hōʻiliʻili ʻia a me ka studio kahi āna i hoʻopaʻa ai i nā mele i hoʻomaka ai e hoʻokuʻu i nā hōʻiliʻili o nā mele nui loa a Lionel Richie.
ʻO ka hana hou a Lionel Richie
Ua hoʻi hou ʻo Lionel i ka haku mele a me nā mele i ka makahiki 1996 wale nō. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i kahi album ma ke ʻano o ke mele a me nā blues Louder Than Words, akā ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hoʻokumu i ka euphoria ma mua i waena o nā mea pā.
A laila, hoʻi ka mea mele i nā mele aloha a ua komo kāna hana hou i nā mele maikaʻi loa 40 ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me ʻEnelani.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kenekulia hou, ua hoʻi hou ʻo Richie i ka studio a me ka huakaʻi. Ua kipa ʻo ia i nā ʻahaʻaina he nui, ua hoʻonohonoho i kahi ʻahamele ma ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Philadelphia of Fine Arts, a laila hoʻomaha ʻo ia mai kāna ʻoihana no kahi manawa pōkole.
Ma hope o kēlā, ua huakaʻi ʻo Lionel Richie i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, hoʻokuʻu i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o Tuskegee, komo i ka ʻaha kaulana, i mālama ʻia ma UK "Glanstonbury".
I ka wā e hiki mai ana, ua hoʻomaka kāna ʻoihana i ka emi ʻana, a ua loaʻa ka hale hoʻopaʻa leo ma ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i nā hōʻiliʻili me nā mele kaulana a kaulana loa o ka mea mele a me ka haku mele.
E pili ana i ke ola pilikino
ʻO ka wahine mua a Lionel Richie ʻo Brenda Harvey, ʻo ia kāna hoaaloha lōʻihi o ke kulanui. Ma hope o ʻewalu mau makahiki o kahi noho male hauʻoli, ua hoʻoholo ka kāne e mālama i kahi keiki kūpono ʻole - he kaikamahine, ʻo Camilla Escovedo.
Ua hoʻoholo ʻo Richie ma hope o kona ʻike ʻana iā ia ma kekahi o kāna mau hana. Ma ka mana, ua loaʻa i nā kāne nā palapala hoʻokomo i ka makahiki 1989.
Me kāna wahine mua, ua haʻalele ʻo Lionel Richie i ka makahiki 1993, i ka wā i ʻike ai ʻo ia i kāna kāne me kāna haku wahine ma kekahi o nā lumi o ka Hotel Beverly Hills. Mai ia manawa, ua lilo ʻo Diana Alexander, kahi mea hoʻolālā kaulana, i kāna makemake hou. ʻElua makahiki ma hope o kā lāua male ʻana.
ʻEwalu makahiki ka male hou ʻana. Ma kahi ʻohana hou, ua hānau ʻia nā keiki, i kapa ʻia ko lākou mau mākua iā Sophia lāua ʻo Miles. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ma hope o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka mea mele i kāna hana hoʻomohala, hakakā ka male a haʻihaʻi.
Eia naʻe, ma hope mai, ua hoʻolauleʻa ka ex-kāne a me ka wahine a mālama mau i ka pilina aloha. Ma ka Instagram social network Diana Alexander, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike mau i nā kiʻi o kā lākou mau keiki maʻamau e hoʻolimalima manawa me ko lākou makuakāne.
I ka pau ʻana o ka makahiki 2018, ua hele ʻo Lionel Richie i ka pae ʻāina ʻo Hawaiʻi a loaʻa kālā ma ka hoʻokani ʻana i nā hui kūloko. A laila ua kono ʻia ʻo ia i ka hōʻike televise American Idol. ʻAʻole kānalua, ʻo Lionel Richie he mea mele akamai i hana nui i ka hana mele.
