As U.S. leaders struggle to communicate with people in the Middle East, they might look to musician Lionel Richie for inspiration.
In the current issue of GQ magazine, writer Andrew Corsello reports that Richie has become a musical phenomenon in the Arab world.
Host Mike Pesca speaks with him about Richie's appeal in that region. |

I was in the company of a newly immigrated Libyan the other day...and an advert came on the telly which used his 80s hit: Dancing on the Ceiling. The Libyan guys said quite matter of factly, "Lionel Richie.' I was surprised he knew that, but see here that I shouldn't have been. |
