In 1987, he collaborated with Cher on the song “We All Sleep Alone.” Jon Bon Jovi was also a writer and producer on the song along with Richie. Do you remember the lyrics?

Don’t make no promises I can’t keep
I won’t be no prisoner of somebody’s needs
You know I have lovers wherever you roam
But sooner or later, oo, we all sleep alone
We all sleep alone, yeah, yeah
We all sleep alone, we all sleep alone

Happy birthday, Richie! Listen to a playlist of his songs below:
