A host of chart-topping favorites quickly followed, notably CAN'T SLOW DOWN, Richie's most successful album to date, which features the audience favorite, "All Night Long," in addition to four other top-10 hits. Richie's gifts for songwriting reached new heights with the release of the five-time Grammy Award«-nominated "Endless Love," on which he duetted with Diana Ross, as well as "We Are the World," co-written by Michael Jackson. In 1994, Richie was inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in recognition of his prodigious accomplishments in popular music. Two decades after embarking on his solo career, Richie is still inspired, evidenced by the release of his 2006 album, COMING HOME, which was recently nominated for two Grammys«.
