This R&B legend grew up in Tuskegee, Alabama.

Lionel Richie grew up on the campus of the Tuskegee Institute, where many family members had worked for generations. Years later, he became a student at Tuskegee and earned a B.S. in economics. It was while attending Tuskegee that Richie joined the Commodores. The rest is history.
