More about this title

About the Artist: Lionel Richie

Lionel Richie emerged as one of the defining voices of soul and pop music, beginning his career as the lead singer of the Commodores before launching a solo career that spanned decades. His gift for melody and emotional authenticity made him a fixture on charts worldwide, and his catalog remains instantly recognizable across generations. For music educators, Richie's work offers accessible yet sophisticated vocal writing that engages singers without requiring extreme technical demands.

Why we love this

Mark Brymer's arrangement captures the infectious groove and celebratory spirit of this iconic track while making it singable for mixed ensembles. The energy is impossible to resist, and your students will connect immediately to material they actually know and love. It's the kind of song that reminds singers why they joined choir in the first place.

What to expect

Pure celebration wrapped in groove. The energy is warm and inviting, built on a foundation of infectious rhythm and call and response that makes singers and listeners alike feel the pull to move. This is music designed to lift spirits and bring people together.

Who it's for

Any SATB choir ready to perform contemporary repertoire that connects with audiences. The arrangement works equally well in concert settings, pops programs, or community showcases where you want material that feels current and celebratory.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the rhythm section locked and precise; the groove lives in the pocket, not in rushing the eighth notes or pushing ahead into the next phrase.
  • Shape the dynamics as a collective unit. Richie's original thrives on moments of call and response, so use contrast between full ensemble and smaller sections to maintain the song's momentum.
  • Treat the melody with a conversational tone rather than operatic weight. This is about groove and joy, not classical phrasing.
  • Balance the lower voices so the bass line remains audible without muddying the overall sound; clarity helps the arrangement's rhythmic vitality shine through.

How to use it

Place this strategically in the second half of your concert to shift the mood and energy, or close your program with it as a crowd pleaser that sends the audience home smiling. It pairs well alongside other contemporary pop or soul arrangements and works beautifully as a finale to a pops concert or spring show.

Skills your students will build

  • Maintaining groove and rhythmic precision in syncopated writing
  • Balancing rhythmic singing with clear diction in contemporary material
  • Executing call and response passages with ensemble precision
  • Finding appropriate vocal tone and style in non-classical genres
