Lionel Richie
Lionel Richie’s schooling is pretty varied. The well-known musician holds a degree in economics with a minor in accounting from Tuskegee Institute. His time at school was when he developed a strong interest in music that eventually led him to form the group The Commodores. After an agent discovered them and they went on tour, Lionel put his studies on hold but later finished up and received his diploma in 1974.
In 1974, The Commodores were signed to the legendary Motown label. For a young musician and his group, it had been a fantastic year. Richie has two ex-wives. He hasn’t been married since 2004 when his most recent marriage ended, but he’s been seeing Lisa Parigi since 2014.
