On this day, November 27, 1982, Lionel Richie’s romantic ballad “Truly” became the #1 song in America. The heartfelt track stayed at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 from November 27 to December 10, 1982, and also reached #1 in Canada.

“Truly” was Richie’s debut solo single after leaving the Commodores, and it showcased his signature blend of smooth vocals and emotional depth. The song earned Richie a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, further solidifying his solo career.
