Biography:
Lionel Brockman Richie, Jr. (born June 20, 1949 in Tuskegee, Alabama) is an American R&B singer, songwriter, composer, and occasional actor. He got his start as the front man for the Commodores, a nationally popular Motown band during the 70's. They had several hits such as Easy, Three Times A Lady, and probably the Commodores' most famous hit, Brick House.
Richie quit the band in 1981 for a solo career. He released his self-titled debut in 1982.

----NOTES----
Guitar chord shapes at the end.
The guitar is playing with capo 3, first chord /G/.
However, I adapted this for capo 1, first chord A, for the octave jump in the intro/interlude adaptation.
If you want to play capo 3: use the TRANSPOSE function and go down 2 half-steps.
