R&B legends are coming together to kick off a tour in St. Paul. Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire will embark on a 26-date tour that begins at Grand Casino Arena on June 24, just as they started a joint trek in 2023.
Both groups produced a litany of classic songs beginning in the '70s when Richie was a member of the Commodores. Richie continued to release time-tested hits after going solo, including songs like "Hello" and "Dancing on the Ceiling."
Ole and Sven
Ole told Sven, “His grandson Little Ole was interested in his grandfather’s bald, shiny head. He wanted to know if he had ever had hair on his head. The grandfather said I sure did have hair. It used to be white as snow. Then Little Ole asked him who in the world shoveled it all off.”
Ole told Sven that Lars had gotten himself in trouble. He had no job, no money and no food and he was hungry. He went to a lady’s house and asked if he could do some work. She said why yes, you can paint the porch out back this yellow color and I will get you a delicious meal. He went back and when he was done, he said to the lady that he has done, but he told her that was not a Porsch you have out back it is a Farrari.
