"Ballerina Girl" is a song written and recorded by Lionel Richie, from his 1986 album Dancing on the Ceiling.
[1][2][3] In the US and Canada, the song was released as a double A-side, with "Deep River Woman" entering the charts in January 1987.
[4] The song was also the last of Richie's eleven number ones on the Adult Contemporary charts, spending four weeks on top.
[6] Mat Snow of NME said, ""All Night Long" is amongst the most justly infectious floor-fillers ever.
Unfortunately, his subsequent output would make Nana Mouskouri cringe, and this richly moustachioed ballad alters this regrettable situation not one whit.
