Lionel Richies' ancestors...


American singer and entertainer Lionel Richie certainly 'fessed up about his ancestors on Kiwi TV tonight.

He told us about his great,great,great, grandfather who was a plantation owner in the South who moved in with his equally as great 'grandmother, herself his slave, and stayed with her for the rest of his life. She even inherited his plantation on his death.

What a fantastic story, and Lionel thought so too!
