5.0 out of 5 stars sensual Deep River Woman, December 10, 1999
By Linda Barry (Memphis TN USA) - See all my reviews
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 RICHIE IS KING!!!, June 4, 1999
By A Customer
Lionel Richie is brilliant!! Both at the lyrical and musical aspects of his music. This album shows his awesome creativity and has so many great tunes. He is king of pop in the 80's and now and forever. OOH WHAT A FEELING....WHEN WE'RE DANCING ON THE CEILING!!! Rock on Lionel.

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