The best album...Eddie G.
Has great songs and poweful ballads,guitar solos by Eric Clapton. Dancing on the Ceiling is, for me, the best album of Lionel Richie, and one of the best all time albums. Is a great album.


Let's Dance!
It was released at the heigh of his popularity and not surprisingly there would be more hits on this album. One of the brightest artists of the 80's released his third album titled "Dancing on the Ceiling" was released in 1986. What few people knew was that this would be the last album to released in 10 years and the last really good album aswell. On the original album there was only 9 songs (here well find 4 songs in new versions). Hits include the uptempo hit "Dancing on the Ceiling" (#2) a little corny lyrics but a great memorable song that will keep you dancing. The reggaeish "Se La" and the ballad "Ballerina Girl" (#7). The best song without a doubt is the love song "Say You, Say Me" that shows Lionel's lyrics and melodism at it's best. It was feautured in the film "White Nights" with Gregory Hines (Rip). The song reached #1 on the charts and is one of his best love songs. "Love Will Conquer All" reached #9 on the charts, but it's a passable midtempo, another midtempo "Don't Stop" would have been a better choise as a single. Other songs are the sappy ballad "Deep River Woman", "Tonight Will Be Alright" and "Night Train", neither were that good. This album isn't better then hsi first two, but in follows the trilogy of great 80's Lionel Richie albums worth to pick up. Sadly this would be his last really good album and he would go on a 10 year hiatus from music after this. Needless to say, good album, good artist.

The only way to get all
This is one of them, and there's extra value in the 12" version of "Dancing on the Ceiling". Lionel's early hits is to buy his first three CD's. No compilation CD I'm aware of offers these verrsions, or the full versions as orignally released. .


Dancing On The Ceiling.
Thats why I purchased Dancing On The Ceiling. I'm a fan of Lionel Ritchie, I've always liked his music especially his fast paced uptempo style.

The sound quality of this cd is excellent and enjoyable to me personally. I'm glad to incorporate this cd into my musical library.

one tiny omission in an otherwise perfect reissue...
I was thrilled to find I could finally replace all my vinyl 12" singles on 1 CD. . but, not exactly ALL! There was a 12" version of "Say You Say Me" (one of the biggest singles on this disc), that ran only 30 seconds longer than the album version, and my guess would be that it's actually the ORIGINAL length Lionel recorded, but was perhaps cut down for the original vinyl LP release. Wish it had been put on here instead of the 4 minute version, because I can't see it ever seeing the light of day on CD anywhere else.
