Lionel Richie

It didn't make any difference.

So we experienced every possible imaginable part of growing up together.

I didn't grow up with brothers.

I had one sister.

So these became, forget the band.

These were five brothers.

And we were in every disaster you could probably think about.

And we laughed our way in and out of every—today, we'd all be in jail.

I can make that statement.

I mean, but back then, it was the best.

It was, well, first of all, we didn't really get into recording until 71, 72.

We were just the biggest, largest, most dynamic band in our heads across the South.

And until we were the opening act for the Jackson 5, their first tour they went out on, we were the opening act for them.

That was our first look at, holy crap, this is huge.

And then I'm an economics major, an accounting minor, and all of a sudden I kept thinking, I don't know what this business is, but I think I want to be in it.

Because you have to understand something.

When you play tennis...

What's the number one thing you will never hear ever?

A girl screaming.

That's not going to happen.
