All Night Long (All Night) - Lionel Richie - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Lionel Richie released "All Night Long" – his timeless ode to partying and raising the roof – in 1983, and the following year performed the song at the closing ceremonies of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. On "All Night Long," the US superstar stirred up a mix of Caribbean influences to give rise to a dance-pop favorite that channeled the party-starting funk sound of his band the Commodores (with whom he had parted ways in 1982). The track was featured as the lead single from Lionel Richie's second and best-selling solo album Can't Slow Down – which topped the US charts in 1983 – and conveys a celebratory holiday feel, conjuring the universal language of good times, while referencing different cultural traditions in the lyrics, notably "karamu" (the Swahili word for banquet, feast or festival), "liming" (a Caribbean term for a get-together) and "fiesta" (the Spanish word for party).
