In addition to their photos, the sisters wished their dad a happy birthday and Father's Day and expressed how much they loved him. Sofia proudly noted his father as her best friend.

Sofia and Miles are Richie's children with his ex-wife Diane Alexander, whom he married from 1995 to 2004. He adopted Nicole, the daughter of a former bandmate, at age nine.

While Richie is blessed with a gift of family and life-long friends, the music superstar does not seem to see the need to retire from the entertainment industry to devote more time with them.

The four-time Grammy winner has sold more than 90 million albums worldwide and produced critically-acclaimed songs such as "We Are The World" and "All Night Long."

Richie said he has adjusted to the ever-changing tides of the industry in the last five decades and feels fortunate that amid the changes, his songs remain timeless.

Besides his extensive music career, he is a businessman who recently launched a perfume line. He also serves as a judge on "American Idol" alongside Katy Perry and Luke Bryan.
