LIONEL RICHIE - LIONEL RICHIE'S DUET WITH GOAT HERDER

LIONEL RICHIE'S DUET WITH GOAT HERDER

LIONEL RICHIE has agreed to duet with a former Moroccan goat herder made famous by British talent show THE X FACTOR. Chico Slimani found fame in the U.K. when he appeared on the 2005 series of the Simon Cowell reality show. He then went on to top the British charts and land a gig on the same bill as Richie, at festival Party In The Park. The pair hit it off and the legend has agreed to make a new record with the 36-year-old. Slimani says, "I'm going to the States soon to do it and it will be similar to the collaboration between Paul MCCartney and Michael Jackson."
