5.0 out of 5 stars sensual Deep River Woman, December 10, 1999

I tracked this CD from hearing Deep River Woman on the radio one night and trying to figure out if it was Alabama or Lionel Richie. A thrilling song. Through Amazon.com and the review there, I learned it is both. What magnificent harmony -- sends chills -- and such emotion in the lyrics about dedication to your mate. Great song for dancers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lionel Ritchie: the OTHER "KING OF POP", March 16, 2003

This review is from: Dancing on the Ceiling (Audio CD)

Back in the day when popular music wasn't as polarized as it currently is, Lionel Ritchie ruled the airwaves as a man that could sing it all: pop, R & B, funk, and a little country. That is no more evident than in this 1986 release, the follow-up to his monstrously successful, Grammy-winning "Can't Slow Down".

Although "Dancing" did not sell as prolifically as its predecessor or garner as much acclaim, it is still a noteworthy achievement. No less than six songs (the title cut, "Se La", "Ballerina Girl", "Deep River Woman", "Love Will Conquer All", and "Say You, Say Me") were major chart-makers and the rest successfully complement the album.

The 8:07 "Don't Stop" is no-holds-barred funk wonder, featuring wonderful percussion work from the legendary Paulinho Da Costa and woman by the name of Sheila E.

Even after all this time, I listen to this album, and I love it. The songs are beautiful and remind me of a great time. Ballerina Girl, Dancing on the Ceiling, Deep River Woman, Love will Conquer all, those are great, everlasting songs. I love this album.
