After all the hit R&B song, all the R&B albums, all the awards, all the congratulations, all the money made on R&B music, R&B Superstar Lionel finally reveals what his initial lifelong plans were. He had planned to be a man of the Cloth!!!
LIONEL RICHIE: “I left my mom and dad’s house to go to Tuskegee University, and I met my Commodore friends there,” Richie said. “At the time I was seriously considering being an Episcopal priest,” Richie told People.
But, after his first time playing with the Commodores, his plans changed.
“[But] the first time I played with the Commodores, a group of girls screamed,” he recalled. “Up until that moment no one, no girl, had ever screamed at me. I didn’t play basketball, football, baseball. I played on the tennis team, and no girl ever screamed at the tennis court. It was right after those girls screamed, I remembered saying to myself, ‘I don’t think I’m gonna be priest material.’
