      Much like Peter Cetera with Chicago, Lionel put all the band members kids thru College!

    The Applause at the end!
    Song always gives me 🥹, and chills.
    Sad and so beautiful at the same time.
    Some loves do last “forever” even if the people aren’t/can’t be together,…still…❤

    That song was THE slow dance song that year at all the dances. Lionel sang it beautifully on the record. This definitely looks like he's miming to the track, but I love this one, so I don't mind. 🥹😍💜

    Beautiful! 🌹 I love the song! ❤
    This song was sure to be on the playlist for couples at the rollerskating rink I frequented as a teen. So many beautiful memories skating with my then boyfriend. I remember them like it was yesterday.... "Still."
    Happy Friday 🥳 Thank you for sharing! 💖

      I 🛼 skated to " Truly" a few years later. It's in a very similar vain to "Still".

      @gregoryduncan3067 In those days, that's what we all did. A lot of rinks don't exist anymore. My home rink was turned into a church. I still go, but it's a different rink. It's not the same. The music is terrible! We had the best... Good Times and Great Music !! Thank you for sharing! 💖
      Have a peaceful evening! 🕊

      We had a place called USA (United Skates of America) and my teenage life evolved around roller skating. Couples Skates with sweaty palms and all, very amazing fun innocent times. Always trying to impress the girls with squeeling my white skate wheels and showing off ! Those were the days hanging out with friends, getting burgers talking all night on the phone and these great songs.

      @@ROLtheWolf Thanks. I listened to this track so many times, I know when it's live or not. I'm sorry but it is NOT live. We should have a judge on it, because I do respect your opinion, but what one can do is, put the needle on the record, and the moment the record starts you also start at the same note as this footage. I will bet you it is EXACTLY the same. There's your challenge. I think that's the ultimate judge, instead of our minds. Actually, I am going to do that as well. I will come back to you!

      @@ROLtheWolf I did do that. The original is 5 minutes and 48 seconds. This version is shorter. 3 Minutes or about. What 'they' did I guess is cut&paste some verses and changed the order of chorus/verses, but if you 'lay' them on top of each other the instruments and vocals are EXACTLY the same as on the record. Exactly!
      On top of that their are no chords from the instruments towards the amplifiers visible, let alone an orchestra. I don't need to be a smart-a**, but just writing down what I hear and see. What do you hear and see?

      Yeah, unfortunately this is mimed to the single edit of the studio version.

      In that era, everybody lip synced. Also, Lionel Richie' s fingers do not seem to be pressing the piano keys with enough force to make any sort of sound.

      Because it's not 'live'. I was also hoping for a 'live' version.

      @@dargan1956 Thanks. Yeah, I knew. I just wrote to a person here that it wasn't 'live' and explained why I didn't think it was 'live'. Then I saw yours and just copied my own writing haha. I knew you know but was a little triggered by that 'last still', so I'm going to listen to it again now. Thanks. Still (no pun intended 🙂) I still think that last still is also the same 'still' as on the record......
