I grew up on the Commodores and Lionel's music. This man is an iconic American for sure. All Night Long.... Easy Like Sunday Morning.... Say Yes

Lionel seems so grateful this all came together. He's a proud father of this song and what it achieved

Wow! Lionel looks great for 74!

Proof that there was some sort of magic that existed in the 80s. There is no way they could get all of those superstars together today. There aren't even enough current musicians on that level in existence today.

I always thought the best part was the Huey, Cyndi and Kim verse. I’m 59 and remember this being done at the time. I think the theme was Leave Your Ego At The Door. Then the video came out and everyone was simply stunned. It was a special moment in time. The 80’s were the best.

The documentary is really good! So fun to see and hear all of those incredible artists!

Next to Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie has gotta be the greatest R and B, Pop artist there is. So many hits, solo and with the Commodores. Great interview! He’s is so funny and witty.

That documentary was so good. We Are the World was way before my time but I found it in my youth and listened to it on repeat for years. Great message and story

Just watched it... brought back so many memories and emotions, I couldn't stop sobbing ! What an extraordinary moment in everyone's life. Lionel you nailed it big time!

I went to see Madonna's Celebration concert last night in Seattle. She's amazing! Best concert ever . ❤❤❤

I remember the World Premiere of We Are The World. I was 10. It was such an AMAZING time for music. I was a HUGE fan of the song. As soon as the documentary dropped on Netflix; I was watching. There were times I had a huge smile on my face and tears running down my cheeks. Lionel is an ICON!

There is a more complete documental on KZread. It's great too.

Hands down the best documentary; understanding and shown how this iconic song came to be renewed the song!

Lionel, the soul of America. I was young and changed forever by your work in We are the world!

This was such a fun interaction. Love how genuine he is.

Lionel is such a legend and I will love him forever. He's so humble and funny and truthful. What a gem 💎

Lionel and Quincy were perfect as the anchors of that recording -- they made every ego in that room perform for a cause. He may not be Michael but I like his level-headedness.

In my opinion Lionel Richie is my favorite artist Thank you for being so true, your a national treasure .❤

Love Lionel such an incredible body of work with The Commodores and his solo stuff. Sail On, Easy, Lady You Bring Me Up and Running With the Night are some of my personal favourites. Also loved Lady the big hit he wrote/produced for the late great Kenny Rogers.

Cyni Lauper is never a mistake. They owe her, one of the most amazing artists with one of the most amazing voices in the business, an apology.

Lionel has always seemed like an absolute sweetheart, what a legend

Such a great guy…and a sharp mind! 💪

Lionel Richie is an icon, one of the greatest music artists of all time.

This man is a legend. I'm a old metal head n punker but always loved all music. I always love Lionel, he just has the gift to reach into you with his music. Amazing artist. And American Idol should get great Steve Perry to be a Judge with Lionel and or Diana Ross

Smart closing with the Madonna line Jimmy. Touche!!

Lionel Richie never gets old, I see him still the same when I saw him when I was a kid in 80's in his video clips

Loved the documentary and I love Lionel. Him and Jimmy together have the best chemistry.

Thank you Lionel for all your contributions to American music for so many years.

I love every Lionel Richie Song he's ever made/sang

we are the world never EVER get's old! it is such a iconic legendary song ever recorded!

❤love that documentary seee it Now❤

Love Lionel..grew up listening to all his music. Brick House was best dance song at the time! ❤🎶

Talk about an icon.

That doc was SOO GOOD! Watching Michael Jackson create was a beautful thing. I was 6 years old when the song came out so it was great seeing how We are the World came together. **I dont watch AI, but Madonna would be an interesting judge!

Mans is a delight. Love this interview and Lionel’s body of work.

Seen Lionel in concert many times. Legend. ❤

Lionel Richie is so funny . What a gentleman. Thank you for the music Lionel!! ✨

What a talent!, What a class act! This gentleman is simply great!!!

Love Lionel Richie since I first listened to "Easy" and "Three Times A Lady" in 1977. Without Lionel Richie (and Quincy Jones) there would never be "We Are The World".

Just love Lionel Richie great voice and still looks good

Thank you Lionel for putting together "We Are The World".

Lionel Richie is very Humorous and Amazing, one of the Reasons he Stays Young. He's a Funny individual. I love this part.

Lionel Richie is such a cool guy, absolutely love him

Love this man .He is a very special man, we are very lucky to have him .Fantastic ❤️ 😀 💙

Lionel and Billy Joel are always my go to music

Lionel Richie is a brilliantly creative, hard-working man -- who I'm proud to write is from Tuskegee AL. Such a professional, talented, & caring soul. I so admire him.

We are the world. Wonderful memories

I used to sing along loudly while playing his music

Omg! I am 61 years and remember that ouch!!!

Seeing Lionel Richie get this comeback of exposure and opportunity is so gratifying and cool. Like Mark Hamill, just an amazing artist who's a decent, down-to-earth person who wears his past success and notoriety extraordinarily well.

All around great interview. Such great stories.

What a fun guy is Lionel! This one is probably my favorite interview that Jimmy had done with a celebrity! I really enjoyed it!!!👏👏👏👏👏

Thank goodness you both made us aware of this beautiful movie !

without autotune he WINSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Lionel Richie is GOLD!! One of the greatest in music history.

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview!! ❤️

Amazing talented Man. Your voice always makes my heart smile. Thank you

One of the top tier documentaries on Netflix.

Loved Ray Charles part. He gave it the soul it needed

Lionel is a class act and always brings so much energy, joy and interesting information to an interview.

Luv u Lionel,so humble and love yr music all the way.

Aww... I just love Lionel Richie. He is so adorable and very funny! 😊😄I could listen to him telling stories all day.

Yes he does I love him and his music penny lover and all his music 3:49

This is amazing to hear about so many famous and wonderful music artists!!! Thank you!!!

"Zoom" is still my favorite song of all time!!!

gotta love these guys

Honestly, nothing disparaging about current artists, but I'm 49, grew up with penny lover, all night long, hello, etc.. and he's the real deal; along with u2, rem, inxs, prince, others, true artists ❤

A living legend ❤❤

Legendary

The song is amazing. Played world wide when I was in the 8th grade. Been listening to it for the past day after watching the Netflix documentary. Also discovered the remakes for Haiti. The Spanish or Portuguese (not sure) version is frigging amazing. I don't understand a word, but the sound is beautiful! Got to check it out!!!

Not only so talented but a heart of gold ❤

It was sooo great to see Lionel, enjoy himself and looking forward to the future American Idle. The conversation had humour and mutual respect! And they had fun together!!!’

I still remember my parents taking me to Target to get the We Are the World single. I was like around 7 years old. Good memory.

Lionel Richie, my crush when I was in my twenties. I watched the making of the song and man Huey Lewis and Darryl Hall were having a really difficult time singing. Ugh! Cindi Lauper was between Huey Lewis & I think Darryl Hall (poor girl) as he struggled to hit the notes. Watching Steve Perry's face was gold. There were a few performers that I question how they got where they got in life. After about 4 maybe 5 takes it was acceptable.

If I was Lionel, I'd probably still be screaming about Michael Jackson's snake. I commend him for even finishing that song.

You are so wise in what you say about how to be in the jury. And I will really miss Katy in the show but her life as an artist and make her own stories is so true. She deserves that so much. You are yourself so positive in what you say. Thank you.

I loved this so much, I've watched the documentary 3 times

I watched the documentary, and I loved every minute of it 👍

The documentary sounds good Love seeing one of my idols ❤ greet show

He's incredible

Lionel Ritchie was just as big of a star as MJ, Prince and Stevie Wonder inn1985 yet he was the most humble and down to earth of the four. I’m shocked that he never became a producer on the same level as Quincy Jones.

Hello is one of my favorite songs!!

Amazing documentary! Please watch it! ❤❤👏👏👏

The Commodores were great .

He's a real inspiration for musicians, how to stay classy through the years🙂

Between Lionel and Huey!!! ❤🎶💯

Magical truly ❤❤❤

It seemed like from the Documentary that many musicians were nervous so many big names to fill in the shoes of one another. They all looked super tired but they pulled it off. It was a movement

Love the love and mutual respect of these two very handsome men Love from humanity

Lionel is world class but Kimmel is a Great late night show host
