Lionel Richie: All Night Long (All Night) (1983 Music Video) User Reviews

Cheerful and colorful. Very positive energy here

I doubt finding a more cheerful and colorful music video than this when it comes to the 1980's. Lionel Richie's "All Night Long" presents him performing the song inside this set-like neighborhood resembling old musicals where several happy dancers perform their routines and the fun part of it is that there are many different styles of dance being shown, from ballet-esque moves to break dance, and it's all non-stop dancing and smiling. And as said it's all very colorful, and it has this "West Side Story" energy that it's easy to feel attracted to it (but no fights happen) along with the enthusiasm and groove brought on by Richie's song. It's a fun memorable tune. But I wonder what attracted veteran director Bob Rafelson to it. Yet he made a tremendous job though using of simple concepts and devices. 9/10.

All Night Long lives on

Definitely All Night Long by Lionel Richie is a huge favorite, and I remember Lionel performing All Night Long at the closing ceremony of the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984, and that was probably one of the most successful Summer Olympics in modern memory (apologies to Montreal and Sydney). Anyway, the enthusiasm in this song, the capturing the moment, the joy, and everything and all is caught up in this song and it's no surprise it lives on after over 40 years, yes that's four decades ago believe it or not. Anyway, this is a song that can be played for all occasions and maybe the British Proms orchestra can perform it.
