NBC's "The Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon recently went down memory lane with some help from singing sensation and award winning song writer Lionel Richie, when the duo re-enacted part of the singer's video of his song "Hello."
During the re-enactment of the famous scene where the love interest of the video sculpts the face of Richie, Fallon used the 66-year-old producer's real head as the bust.
In a hilarious outburst both host and singer found it difficult to contain their laughter with many viewers praising Richie for his performance of trying to maintain his composure as an actual solid bust, while Fallon famously sings the lines of the iconic ballad with its haunting tune.
Previously Richie commented on the infamous 1984 video and how the bust and the concept came about during an interview with Rolling Stone. The singer told the publication he arrived at the video shoot to find "there's this God-awful looking clay model of my head."
The "All Night Long" singer said video director Bob Girardi kept encouraging him to go along with the scene when finally questioned why it did not look like him it was only at that point that it was revealed that the girl sculpting the bust was blind. Richie said it was only at that point that he understood the concept.
Meanwhile, the "The Three Times A Lady" singer is gearing up for a 20 show stint at Las Vegas and has recently announced his residency at the AXIS at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, with performances set to begin in 2016, according to Reuters.
The Commodores singer told the news agency he decided to take the plunge with his "All The Hits" show following the successful stints of his peers such as Rod Stuart ,Elton John and Celine Dion.
The show will feature songs such as "Dancing on the Ceiling", "Hello" and "Stuck on You", which the singer said will not be given " present-day treatment," adding that audiences especially the young will be given a feel of music from the 90s era.
