There's no bigger fan of Adele's "Hello" than Lionel Richie himself.
The 66-year-old Grammy-winning artist, who enjoyed tremendous success with his own single called "Hello" in the early '80s, is thrilled about the newfound attention the decades-old song has received since Adele released her record-breaking track in October.
After the song's debut, a video mashup of the British crooner hanging up the phone on the former Commodore immediately went viral, poking fun at the two hits' similar set of lyrics.
While previewing his new home collection to Manhattan's top real estate brokers at the TOWN Residential Art Basel kick-off event, E! News caught up with the "All Night Long" crooner at the Versace Mansion to talk about the song's second shot at stardom.

Both great voices, both with beautiful pop songs.
ReplyDeleteSam Smith recorded "Stay With Me" which according to Tom Petty was inspired by his song "I Won't Back Down".I personally did not see enough similarity between the 2 to warrant a lawsuit,but a settlement actually was made.I listened to one & then the other & came to the conclusion that the similarities between the 2 were completely coincidental.Of course that's just my opinion.
