On December 20, 1974, "The Godfather Part II" was released, directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.

It became the first sequel to win Best Picture, with six Oscar wins, including Best Director for Coppola, Best Supporting Actor for De Niro, and Best Adapted Screenplay for Coppola and Puzo. Pacino won Best Actor at the BAFTAs and was nominated at the Oscars.

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.
