Although there may be some people who liked the music of Billy Ocean, some of those may have liked Lionel Richie's music even more. So, are there any of you representing this percentage (especially those RJ'ers that were lucky enough to grow up listening to music in 1985) who have heard "Suddenly" and then thought of "Hello"?

Even if you don't like slow R&B jams, you should definitely hear Lionel Richie's "Hello" and then Billy Ocean's "Suddenly" and then tell me what you think.
