He probably should have won this award before. But last night’s American Music Awards was TRULY Lionel Richie’s night.

The longtime singer-songwriter, who started his career with the Commodores, has most recently been serving as a judge on “American Idol,” continuing to show his prowess and coach the future of American pop stars.

With an honor bestowed upon him by longtime friend Smokey Robinson, they have one thing in common; watch and find out the thing that will always SEEMINGLY bring Lionel and Smokey together. (Or are they Lionel and Lionel? Or Smokey and Smokey?)

You be the judge.

Nevertheless, Lionel provides some great inspirational words that we can ALL learn from. Enjoy it!
