The UK single release of “The Lovers” peaked at #28 on the UK charts, besting the #41 position he achieved on the US R&B charts. The UK 12” includes “Bonus Beats” not available on the US 12” release.

Have you been to his gigs, Richie?
I remember reading once in the UK magazine that he would have this Massive King Sized bed on stage, and invite a female concert go-er to hop onto it with him while he did his “thang”…singing that is…
No, I’ve never seen Alex live, would love to though.
