Lionel Richie Say You Say Me (official video) (1985)

“Say You, Say Me“ is an Oscar winning song, written and recorded by Lionel Richie for the film White Nights, starring Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines. Bowing at #40 on the Hot 100 on 9 November 1985, the single hit number one there and on the R&B singles charts in December 1985. It became Richie’s ninth number one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. The track is not available on the soundtrack album to the film, because Motown did not want Richie’s first single since the Can’t Slow Down album to appear on another record label. It finally appeared on the Dancing on the Ceiling album released in 1986. The track won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1985.
