Lionel Richie
Lionel Richie holds a degree in economics with a minor in accounting from Tuskegee Institute, and is known for his versatility as a musician. However, it was at this period that he developed a strong interest in music and eventually established The Commodores. After getting picked up by an agent and embarking on tour with his band, the famed American singer, songwriter, and producer put his studies on hold. He returned to school, though, and received his diploma in 1974.
.In 1974, The Commodores were also signed to the legendary Motown label. For the young guy and his band, it had been a fantastic year. Richie has had two marriages. He hasn’t been married since his most recent marriage ended in 2004, but he has been seeing Lisa Parigi since 2014.
