Although Lionel Richie was AWOL for most of the '90s, he's still a pop culture force to be reckoned with, and THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION ably supports this assertion. Between his work as a frontman for The Commodores, songwriter for other artists, and as a solo act, Richie became the only songwriter to score nine chart-toppers in nine consecutive years. Aside from Kenny Rogers' "Lady" and USA For Africa's "We Are The World," (co-written with Michael Jackson), all the other #1's are here: "Endless Love" (with Diana Ross), "Truly," "Hello," "All Night Long (All Night)," "Say You, Say Me," "Still" and "Three Times A Lady." That's not even counting the man's other Top 10 hits including further Commodores manna like "Easy" (later a hit remake for Faith No More). Throw in solo sides like the infectious "Dancing On the Ceiling" and the urgent "Running With The Night" and its easy to hear how Richie nonchalantly dominating the charts throughout the '80s. He brings things up-to-date with two new songs: the slow rolling Enrique Iglesias duet "To Love a Woman" and the piano ballad "Goodbye."

This is a very difficult saiuttion and I am afraid can not be answered simply. However, there are many things you can do to help, starting with a small community. You can for instance, teach people to grow a variety of fruit and vegetables to trade with each other and provide sustenance for their own community. Educate the women in various trades like sewing,crocheting, spinning woolinto yarn, knitting, rug making, basket weaving so that they can make their own clothing and blankets and sell the rest to the outsiders. Teach the men in the group the proper care of animals like cows, chickens, and goats which can not only help them in the fields but will also provide milk, eggs and cheese for their diets. There are various trades that would be beneficial to learn as well like carpentry, blacksmith trades etc Educate the children the basics of reading and writing so that they may be able to make it in the world if circumstances would dictate it. Teach them the importance of caring for the environment by encouring every individual to plant trees (particularly fruit bearing ones)not only to replenish the ones that are cut down, but also to serve as a food source. Most importantly, implement some sort of family planning so that unwanted lives are eliminated and the problems brought on by poverty are diminished. These are just some starters. With your big heart and continuous effort, much of their needs will at least be met.
This is a good collection to start with if you don't have any of Lionel's music. I mean, how can you possible fit all of Lionel's great songs in one CD. If this was a double album, it would have scored better in my books. One CD for the Commodores hits and another for Lionel's solo hits. Still it has most of his great hits and the sound quality is good too.
