Lionel Brockman Richie, Jr. (born June 20, 1949) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer who has sold more than 100 million records. Back as a student in Tuskegee, he formed a succession of R&B groups in the mid-1960s. In 1968 he became the lead singer and saxophonist with the Commodores. They signed a recording contract with Atlantic Records in 1968 for one record before moving on to Motown Records, being schooled as a support act to the Jackson Five. The Commodores became established as a popular soul group. He released his self-titled debut in 1982, which contained three hit singles: the huge U.S. #1 song "Truly" that launched his career as one of the most successful balladeers of the 1980s. On July 7, 2009, Richie performed "Jesus is Love" at Michael Jackson's Memorial Service.

Sail on down the line ’Bout a half a mile or so And a, don't really wanna know ah Where you're goin’ Maybe once or twice you see Time after time i tried Hold on to what we got But now you're going And I don't mind About the things you're gonna say, Lord I gave all my money and my time I know it's a shame But I'm giving you back your name Guess I'll be on my way I won't be back to stay I guess I'll move along I'm looking for a good time!

Sail on down the line Ain't it funny how the time can go All my friends say they told me so But it doesn't matter It was plain to see That a small town boy like me Just a, wasn't your cup of tea I was wishful thinking!

Good times never felt so good! Sail on, honey! Good times never felt so good! Sail on, sugar! Good times never felt so good! Sail on!
