He had a flush of ideas.
Richie, 73, made the unsanitary claim while“It’s very simple. I’m working with Kenny Rogers — this is back in the day — and so Kenny calls and says, ‘I want you to write a song for me,'” explained Richie. “And, of course, I wrote ‘Lady.'”
The “American Idol” judge also asked him to write a second song, which later became “Goin’ Back to Alabama,” and would later appear on the late country star’s 1981 album “Share Your Love.” Richie revealed that the duo was halfway through writing the song when Rogers decided to change his tune. “He says, ‘I don’t want to sing that song. I think I want to do ‘Lady’ first,'” recalled the “Easy” singer. “Now, what he didn’t know was I only had written the first verse of ‘Lady.'”
