On this day in 1984: Bob Marley and the Wailers started a 12-week run at #1 on the UK album chart with the compilation album ‘Legend’, released to commemorate the third anniversary of Marley’s death.

Also on this day in 1984: Lionel Richie started his second and final week at #1 on the U.S. singles chart with ‘Hello.’ It was the 3rd single released off his 2nd solo album ‘Can’t Slow Down.’ It would be ranked the #7 song for 1984 on Billboard Magazine’s year end chart.

The music video, directed by Bob Giraldi, features the story of Richie as a theater and acting teacher having a seemingly unrequited love for a blind student (Laura Carrington) until he discovers she shares the feeling as demonstrated by the discovery that she is sculpting a likeness of his head in clay.
