You Are (with Blake Shelton) - Lionel Richie - MP3 instrumental karaoke

The unlikely pairing of Lionel Richie and Blake Shelton put their heads together to rework the former's 1983 gem "You Are." Originally written by Lionel Richie and his then-wife, Brenda Harvey Richie, the track is featured on his self-titled debut solo album of 1982 and assumes a late-night romantic air, before breaking out into a jubilant funk-rich number. Lionel Richie reimagined "You Are" as a duet with country star Blake Shelton for his 2012 Tuskegee album. On the 2012 country music-flavored version, Blake Shelton opens the song and Lionel Richie steps in for the next verse. The duo then join up for the hands-in-the-air chorus. "You are the sun / You are the rain / That makes my life this foolish game / You need to know / I love you so / And I'd do it all again and again / Whoa, whoa, whoa," they sing, their voices perfectly complementing each other.
