The song Sela by Lionel Richie is the only song that has a reggae rhythm in it. It was unusual for him to release such a song since he is the soul master but the message contained in that song is special. He is calling for the healing of nations. It's a song that means a lot to those that like a sober world where people have humane connections. A world that bestows dignity.

Here at Dziwaonline.com we want to recognize the role Mr. Lionel Richie is playing with his relentless support for the education of young men and women. Mr. Richie demonstrated this by example that you can purse education as well as musical talent. We encourage those that want to be music stars to also consider concentrating on studies, at least to have something that enlightens the mind. Thanks to Michael Simmons for being so kind and professional.

We are proud Gwinyai had the chance to get exclusive pictures of the music legend Lionel Richie. The music legend also contributed gifts to Nelson Mandela upon his release from prison. It's commendable that Mr. Richie wrote a song with Michael Jackson to raise funds for Africa which sold more than 20 million copies. We are proud of that.

Here is a picture of Chaka Khan taken by Gwinyai few years ago.
