Music Intro: Keyboardist Gail Nobles

"Love Will Conquer All" is a track from Lionel Richie's 1986 album Dancing on the Ceiling featuring Marva King on backing vocals. The song was written by Richie along with Greg Phillinganes and Cynthia Weil. "Love Will Conquer All" was Richie's tenth number one on the Adult Contemporary chart. The single spent two weeks at number one and peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100. "Love Will Conquer All" also went to number two for two weeks on the soul chart

The song is my favorite song from Lionel Richie's album Dancing on the Ceiling from the Motown label. I love the beat of the song and the backing vocals. I love the words and instruments that were played. Lionel Richie has done a great job singing the song and made a great music video for the song.
