Penny Lover - 7" Single Remix

In this romantic ballad, Richie reminisces about how he met his lover and hopes she'll never leave him. It was co-written by his then-wife Brenda Harvey-Richie, making the single his first solo #1 (on the Adult Contemporary chart) to credit a co-writer.

The music video, helmed by "Hello" director Bob Giraldi, casts Richie as a nightclub owner who recalls his affair with a cocktail waitress named Penny, who ended up leaving him for her domineering boyfriend.

This also peaked at #8 on the R&B chart.
