He launched a solo career in the early 1980s with his self-titled debut album before releasing a string of hit albums including Can’t Slow Down and Dancing On The Ceiling.
Richie has won four Grammys over the years as well as an Oscar for original song Say You, Say Me from the film White Nights.
He was among the stars to perform at the King’s Coronation Concert last year held in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
Say Hello To The Hits is to be a tribute to Richie’s enduring career as an acclaimed singer-songwriter.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
