Reseña
El álbum homónimo que inaugura la discografía de Lionel Richie en solitario es una de las transiciones más exitosas y fluidas de la historia del pop. Lanzado en 1982, mientras todavía era formalmente miembro de la legendaria banda de funk y soul The Commodores, este disco estableció de inmediato a Lionel Richie como una superestrella por derecho propio. Por lo tanto, es la perfecta declaración de independencia de un compositor y cantante en la cima de su inspiración.
En primer lugar, el álbum perfecciona el sonido que él mismo había ayudado a popularizar en sus últimos años con su banda: una exquisita mezcla de R&B, soul y balada "adult contemporary". De hecho, el disco está liderado por el single "Truly", una balada de piano de una belleza y una sinceridad sobrecogedoras que se convirtió en un número uno mundial y le valió un premio Grammy. Por consiguiente, su carrera en solitario no pudo tener un comienzo más triunfal.
Además, el álbum contiene otros dos grandes éxitos que muestran su versatilidad. Así pues, "You Are" es un medio tiempo alegre y optimista con influencias caribeñas, mientras que "My Love" es otra de sus características baladas emotivas y con una melodía inolvidable. Mientras tanto, la producción del disco, a cargo del propio artista y de James Anthony Carmichael, es impecable, con un sonido pulcro y elegante que se convertiría en su sello distintivo.
En definitiva, "Lionel Richie" es un debut magistral. Es un trabajo que no solo confirmó el inmenso talento como compositor que ya había demostrado en temas como "Easy" o "Three Times a Lady", sino que también lo presentó como un intérprete carismático y una de las voces más cálidas y reconocibles de la música popular.

[X]letra de Serves You Right
La, da, da, da,
Oooh, oh.
You and I were so in love.
You were all I was thinkin' of.
There was so much magic in your eyes.
Then one day you said we were through.
You said you found somebody new.
And then you turned and you walked right out the door.
Baby I told you his love wasn't true.
You didn't hear me, so now I say these words to you..
[Chorus:]
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye.
Now you say you're sorry.
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye.
Baby.
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye.
Now you see who's sorry now.
Oooh, oh, oh.
I remember you standin' there, sayin' to me you didn't care.
And I was begging baby, please don't go.
Now you're crying, telling me what went wrong.
Girl you stayed away too long,
Can't you see I've got you off my mind.
[change]
Thinkin''bout the pain that you put me through.
I can't help you-because it feels good telling you....
[Chorus]

Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
Don't say you're sorry baby.

I'm a wandering stranger
Lost all alone
I'm a million miles away
I kno you're waiting for
To come home again
But I'm searching for an answer
Please try to understand
And I love you
And you love me
Someday we can make it together
Just you and me, oh just you and me
Sometimes I'm lonely
But I can not own myself
I must keep moving till I find me
Oh I'm hurting you
But I don't want to stay
My piece of mince is all my master
Help me if you can
And I love you
And you love me
Someday we can make it together
Just you and me, oh just you and me
Oh my love I do love you
In my heart I do feel you
I'm a wandering stranger
Can you help me make it through
