Lionel Richie is celebrating his 76th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer Lionel Richie (Endless Love, Three Times a Lady, Easy, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 76th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Richie, a cultural icon

Born in Tuskegee on June 20, 1949, Lionel Richie's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Richie's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Lionel hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Lionel Richie as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 76.

Happy Birthday, Lionel, you're the best!
