Icon

Icon album by Lionel Richie was released Sep 25, 2012 on the Motown (Record Label) label. Lionel Richie's Icon, like many discs in the same-titled series covering other artists, is more like a sampler than a true anthology. Icon music CDs It covers Richie's first solo album, released in 1982, through Coming Home, which was issued in 2006. Icon songs No ten-track compilation could do right by Richie while covering 25 years of the singer's career. Icon album Far too many of Richie's most successful recordings are missing to make the disc recommendable. "Truly," "Running with the Night," and "Do It to Me" are all missing -- to name only three -- yet the non-charting "Cinderella" somehow made the cut Icon CD music. Some of the basics are here, including "You Are," "All Night Long (All Night)," and "Say You, Say Me." ~ Andy Kellman Photographer: Andrew MacPherson.
