Grammy Award-winning singer Lionel Richie will debus his memoir, “Truly,” with a Q&A at the Town Hall in Manhattan, launching a book tour that includes stops in Austin, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. The event, hosted in partnership with Barnes & Noble, did not feature any musical performances, but will feature the legendary vocalist in conversation with “friends,” according to a press release. Lionel Richie has brought his smooth stylings and catchy, danceable songs to audiences for over five decades, producing hits like “Easy” and “Three Times a Lady” with Motown group The Commodores. He later launched a successful solo career that brought the world songs like “All Night Long,” and 1985’s “We Are the World,” which featured Richie and co-writer Michael Jackson alongside a slew of the ages top singers joined together in song to raise money for the famine in Ethiopia that took place in the mid-1980s. Richie’s memoir, published by HarperOne, “chronicles lessons learned during his unlikely story of remarkable success — his dramatic transformation from painfully shy, ‘tragically’ late bloomer to world-class entertainer and composer of love songs that have played as the soundtrack of our lives,” according to a press release. In the upcoming conversations, Richie will “revisit hilarious and harrowing events to inspire all who doubt themselves or feel their dreams don’t matter, reminding us of the power of love to elevate our own lives and our world.”
