Almost 40 years ago, Lionel Richie & Diana Ross released Endless Love.
A song which Billboard voted as the number 1 Duet of all time and stayed in the charts for a staggering 27 weeks. It has since become synonymous with couples, lovers and enjoyed by millions of people around the globe to this very day.
However…. what no one could have foreseen is that since it’s original recording, these two icons of popular music would never perform the song together again!
Yes!….Incredibly for 40 years Lionel Richie has been asking Ms Ross to share that magic moment with him once more…. but as yet she has declined.

Back in 1971 LINDISFARNE released their ground-breaking first album and began to attract the fervent fan base that followed them for decades.
In October that year they released their second album ‘FOG ON THE TYNE’ which topped the UK charts for six weeks in spring 1972. ‘Fog on the Tyne’ was a game-changer, and UK and international success soon followed.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this classic album, Lindisfarne frontman BILLY MITCHELL and founder member RAY LAIDLAW tell the group’s amazing story with a combination of superb songs, vital video, tall tales and of course, scurrilous gossip.
