　　一首《Say you say me》让莱昂纳尔里奇(Lionel Richie)走进中国乐迷的耳朵，也从此记住了他，但是，也因为这首歌，是大家忽略了他其他经典的作品，也使很多人认为他只有这一首金曲，实际上，莱昂纳儿•里奇是当代音乐史上唯一连续在9年之内年年都有作品登上排行榜冠军的歌手，这些歌曲包括了“Three Times A Lady”(1978)、“Still”(1979)、“Lady”(1980)、“Endless Love”(1981)、“Truly”(1982)、“All Night Long (All Nights)”(1983)、“Hello”(1984)、“We Are The World”(1985)、“Say You, Say Me”(1986)，他同时写下了在1981-1992年间连创13首热门单曲榜TOP10单曲(其中5首勇夺冠军)排行纪录。近些年，莱昂纳儿•里奇的影响力在美国深受年轻世代欢迎的歌唱竞赛节目“美国偶像”中表露无遗，他不但在2003年的第2季中担任客座评审，他的多首畅销曲更经常成为参赛者争相选唱的作品。

　　莱昂纳尔里奇新专辑《Coming Home回家》中与Jermaine Dupri(mariah carey、Janet Jackson、Alicia Keys的制作人)所合作的浪漫情歌“What You Are”巧妙融合老式节奏蓝调与当代都会蓝调情歌的元素。

　　《What You Are》歌词

　　It's four in the morning and I'm sitting here at night

　　I'm writing you this song to say what's on my mind

　　I'm leaving in an hour and you won't be up in time to say goodbye (so whoa)

　　I'm putting this on tape (baby you're wonderful)

　　I really mean it babe (more than you will ever know)

　　I wish that I could stay (but I gotta go)

　　I'll be back in the meantime

　　Keep in mind that

　　You are

　　Is something to big for words

　　And it's my pleasure to love you for better or worse

　　Cause what you are

　　A beautiful mother to your kids

　　Sometimes it slips my mind so in case I forget

　　Girl you are better than (anything)

　　I ever had

　　You are the perfect love

　　Never give you up

　　Because you are my heart and soul my breath

　　Take it all till nothings left

　　Cause baby you are

　　Now no man has ever loved his woman

　　LIke I love you girl you know it's true

　　And no man can ever say he does a woman better than I do you

　　Cause that ain't true (here's what I do)

　　Send you fresh-cut roses every day of the week

　　Take you shopping whenever

　　But more importantly

　　Wrap my loving arms around you

　　To reassure everything I felt that first night

　　I feel it more
