The song was the very first solo hit for Lionel, who of course broke away from the Commodores on the strength of his ballads like “Sail On”, “Still”, and “Three Times a Lady”. “Truly” was released in the fall of ’82 and it spent two weeks at #1. Lionel also earned a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal.
