The Largest Known Single-Piece Roman Mosaic Was Uncovered During The Construction Of A Hotel. 🇹🇷
This week in 1983, the Lionel Ritchie single “All Night Long (All Night)” went to #1 on the Australian charts (December 19)
One of the great party songs of the 80s…
The single from the “Can’t Slow Down” LP also reached #1 on three US Billboard charts (pop, R&B and adult contemporary), and went to #1 in Canada, South Africa, and the Netherlands.
Richie said to CNN that it took him about two months write this song.
He explained:
“I just couldn't find the ending - I couldn't find all night long to save my life. I had everything, the verses, the middle part, all the stuff.
I just did not have all night long.
It took me forever to find it. And finally one night, the heavens opened up and came through."
Richie told The Epoch Times that he got the vibe for this song from his vacations in the Caribbean.
Some of the multicultural words are authentic, but some Ritchie simply made up for the song..,.
Fun fact: a young Richard Marx is one of the backing vocalists on the song.
This was the first Lionel Richie video to make an impact on MTV, and was extremely popular back in the day.

On this day in 1969, the soundtrack to the movie “Easy Rider” debuted on the UK Albums Chart at #14 (December 20)
“Easy Rider” is an American independent road drama film written by Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Terry Southern, produced by Fonda, and directed by Hopper, starring Fonda and Hopper, and co-starring Jack Nicholson and Toni Basil.
The brilliant, iconic counterculture film explores the societal landscape, issues, and tensions in the US during the 1960s, such as the rise of the hippie movement, drug use, and communal lifestyle.
The movie's soundtrack featured major rock artists including The Band, The Byrds, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Steppenwolf, and here’s how it happened…
To make watching hours of bike footage more interesting during editing, editor Donn Cambern used various music from his own record collection, including The Band, The Byrds, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Steppenwolf
Interestingly though, the original plan was that Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were actually going to write a totally original soundtrack, but after the temporary songs were put in, they fit so well that the producers decided to go with that, and go get the rights to use those songs!
And CSNY reportedly agreed that they couldn’t have improved on it!
So most of Cambern's music that was originally supposed to be just temporary, was actually used for the soundtrack, with licensing costs of $1 million, triple the film's budget!
The soundtrack also peaked at #4 in Australia.

This week in 1971, the Who LP “Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy” debuted on the UK Albums Chart at #23 (December 18)
This Who compilation LP was put together by Pete Townshend, and apart from “Boris the Spider", every track on the album had been released as a single in the UK.
In fact, all except "A Legal Matter", "Magic Bus", and "The Seeker" were Top 10 hits there.
It also features favourites like “I Can See For Miles”, “Pictures of Lily”, “Pinball Wizard”, “My Generation”, “I Can’t Explain”, “Substitute”, and “The Kids are Alright”.
The curious name of the album comes from the band members themselves; Roger Daltrey got “Meaty” because of his muscular physique, naturally Keith Moon got “Beaty” as the manic drummer, “The Ox” Entwistle got “Big”, because….well, he was, and “Bouncy” was the ever bouncing around on stage Pete Townshend.
On the charts “Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy” went to #9 in the UK, #11 in the US, and #27 in Australia.
In 1987, Rolling Stone ranked the album #99 on their list of the 100 best albums of the period 1967–1987.
