Hello? Is it Lionel Richie you're looking for?

If you've been looking for Lionel Richie ever since the release of his 1984 hit "Hello," you're not alone.

New Yorkers have been stuck on the star lately thanks to a series of personal-ad-style signs that are popping up all over Brooklyn.

The signs feature a retro black-and-white photo of Richie along with the header "Hello?" and the caption "Is it me you're looking for?" At the bottom of the page are several tear-off strips, but instead of contact telephone numbers, each strip includes a lyric to "Hello."

One hipster tipster spotted Richie hanging in an apartment building lobby while others have spied him on the streets.

The video for "Hello" featured Richie falling for a blind girl, and the single spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard charts.

No word on how long the "Hello" poster campaign will continue, but chances are, more than a few Brooklynites have been up "All Night Long" searching for the signs.
