But according to the legendary 76-year-old musician, there was a time when Richie himself was a bit uncertain about the song's tongue-in-cheek lyrics. Above all else, the four time Grammy winner worried about the song's impact on his beloved grandmother, fearing the song might result in her "actually disown[ing] me."
Speaking about his grandmother's view of his work, Richie then went on to reveal that he specifically feared her reaction to the 1977 hit, "Brick House."
Yet even then, the bestselling artist admitted that, initially, he was skeptical about the song's potential, thanks in large part to its continuous references to a woman's figure being built like "a brick house."
Interestingly, Richie also said he felt the song was also a bit disrespectful when he was working on it with the Commodores. However, he promptly changed his mind when the song proved a massive success, peaking at number 5 in the U.S. and number 32 in the U.K. Singles Chart.
"I thought it was kind of disgraceful myself, until it became a hit," Richie said with a smile.
