Lionel Richie, "Endless Love"

"Scott Spencer's novel is bound to be mystified by Franco Zeffirelli's latest film, which reduces ''Endless Love'' to a whimperingly latter-day ''Romeo and Juliet'' with a little pyromania thrown in... " These are the words with which a writer for The New York Times started describing the 1981 blockbuster "Endless Love". Although one can criticize and judge the film from different angles, one thing is certain: People starve for a Romantic Story where lovers die for one another and every young man in my generation was "lost in love" with Brooke Shields' stunning beauty. Add to this already unbeatable formula the fantastic score that Lionel Richie came up with and sang in duo with legendary Diana Ross and you have the perfect formula to create a movie that will be impressed i everyone's memory for  along time.
