  • I appreciate that so many people love this song/medley...but did you people know that these songs are not originals of Mr. Vandross?

  • @djplazma Yes

  • @MsSteeldog but he made them his own. To the point, his versions are for the most part i care to listen to. Or should i say his versions breathe a new life into these songs.

  • @djplazma Just FYI, lots of artist do not write, produce, or arrange their own music. This particular song was written by Bonnie Bramlett and Leon Russell and has been recorded by serveral different artist such as The Carpenters, Bette Middler, Vikki Carr and several others.......My point is, lets not take anything away from Mr. Vandross, he definately made it his own!

  • My kids were made listening to Luther..one of the best n very missed..nobody can sing a love song like him !!!

  • who the fuck disliked you dont know real music

  • @yngjackson I don't understand why people look up music they don't like. If they don't like it, then don't look it up just to click dislike. Luther is an icon to R&B. I agree with you 100%.

  • nobody can sing a love song like Luther! Soooo smooth! Beautiful remake of several combined classics. I could and listen to this song over & over never get tired of it.

  • big fat kfc eating motherfucker. eddie murphy.

  • just put the lights down low the volume high,holding in your arms the person you love and close your eyes and listen closely so so beautifull,wished id seen him live when he was alive such a loss of talent !!!

  • Luthers voice was damn near alien. R.I.P. to the legends.

  • What an uplifting voice god put in this man, blessed. We are all blessed with an art.

  • this song my cause a 9 month side effect

  • Maybe the greatest pure voice ever.

  • If you don't understand it. There's not help for you. The man was GREAT

  • The master.......

  • @worldwatcher24 lol... exactly

  • beautiful song

  • 1 person apparently got lost looking for that demon metal screaming stuff... :O\

  • Sweet.....<3 <3 <3

  • Such an amazing song. The last 2:15 is quite possibly my favorite end to any song ever.

  • @Sarcasm24 yeah it's like he's in so much agony and just trying withstand the heartache.  epic end. my favorite too!

  • Somebody must like the Carpenters a lot more to give 1 dislike

  • ooh baby?

  • My all time favorite Luther Vandross song, I was only two years old when this came out and I can remember my mom playing it.........I LOVE THIS SONG and so many others by Luther, but this is my FAVORITE!! R.I.P. TO ONE OF THE GREATEST!!!!!

  • 1 person accidentally hit the wrong button.........

  • The only version of this song..no other version compares!! 

  • i wudda pay millions jus to hear him sing the ABCs!!! Rest in Perfect Peace Luther Vandross!!!

  • He kills it in this one.

  • Shame that real artist like Luther aren't around. The r&b coming out today is garbage!

  • Does anyone know where to get the video of him singing this on stage with the lady that was dancing? That was beautiful!

  • You know the ANGELS have him sing EVERYDAY!!! "They" don't come like Luther anymore.....

  • One of his finest works. Truly a masterpiece for such a fine maestro!!!! God bless your soul, may you rest in peace. I love you too, I really do!!

  • The very last lines of this song touch me the most.....

    "I wonder, I wonder, Where are you again tonight, Are you holding someone

    else real tight? I wonder, I wonder......."

    Luther could melt the heart of the most coldblooded player. This is powerful stuff.

  • One thing I love about this song and Luther Vandross, in general (other than his velvety voice), is how he takes his time when he sings his songs. It's like he wraps each and every note with a billows of soft and sensual soul, so when he weaves them together with that satiny smooth voice, what you get is an inviting, enticing and perfectly made quilt that you can wrap yourself in and feel content....this song does just that for me....PURE PERFECTION!!!

  • great singer truly missed

  • I was very fortunate to have grown up with Luthor's music, he was a male Mariah Carey, his voice would always put me to sleep. He didn't even need the music. A gift from "God" the the music world. R.I.P. Luthor

  • @lissette1170 A male Mariah Carey? Uh Luther was makin music long before Carey hit the scene.

  • @1hes2ranger yep I agree, more like a male Phyllis Hyman, a "true" vocalist...

  • Oh god i got chills listening to this song! Luther is so missed! He was the best and in my opinion so underated. Im 21 and i wish i could have seen him in concert.

  • Comment removed

  • @LaurenRenee0813x Hi, I had the pleasure of seeing Luther live twice and he was amazing. He will always be my all-time favourite artist...there will never be anyone that can touch the soul like he did in my opinion. It's so refreshing to see someone as young as you appreciating great music. Have a beautiful life.

  • @mawishe Your very lucky to have seen luther. :-) I totally agree no one can ever touch luther. His voice was one in a million! thank you same to you sweethart!

  • love dixz song

  • If this song doesn't give you chills and goosebumps and the words don't move you - something is WRONG with you... this man took this song and remade it into his OWN. Most folks don't even KNOW it wasn't his song to begin with.

  • This is my favorite song sung by Luther. I feel a tear in my heart everytime I hear it and or see the video. He will never be forgotten. He left us way too soon.RIP and sing throughout all the Heavens , so that the angels may sit in awe and wonder at your magnificent gift

  • Sombody miss and hit that dislike button i know they did

  • the best song to me he ever made . this song is the reason for a lot of babys in the 80s

  • I really love this song it will never get old to me

  • Luther, the best voice ever!!

  • The song was actually written by Leon Russell and Bonnie Bramlett, and recorded by The Carpenters. Their version is perhaps the best known universally, but Luther made the song his own when he recorded it for "Busy Body."

  • Such a beautiful voice and a truly timeless song. This song played on my cassette deck too many times to count back in the day... that bittersweet kind of pain that only happens once.

  • Absolutely Luther at his "very best"...RIP!

  • it's alright now

  • This was the song that got me into Luther. CLASSIC!!!!!!!!

  • its alright its alright...... its alright now i use to be sad..... but now its alright

  • You can't never go wrong with a Luther song.  Rest in peace my brother.

  • so well done...we all miss you ..and your music..so real...

  • R.I.P my friend

  • I cry to this song every time I hear it

  • i just wish the song would hurry up and get to the good part...the beginning is too long.

  • Feeling this song.....smh

  • I love this song

  • I am sorry but, does this song get anyone on a natural high that zones them out which in return makes them come down damn near forgetting where the "f" they are?

  • @neballar soul food i tell ya!

  • I used to play this song to my baby when i was prego. When I got sick (morning sickness) i would rub my stomach and sing it to the baby. At the end of the song when Luther says "its alright, its alright..." I would assure my unborn it was alright. I get so emotional when I hear this song. "baby" didnt make it.

  • God I miss you Luther..tears (love this song) its like he is still here.

  • CLASSY SONG!

  • I'm pretty sure all these views are from people who made children to this song

  • Man, talk about stealing a song. This is easily the greatest cover song of all time. No doubt about it.

  • Bachelor Planet readers are asking me which version of "Superstar" I prefer. This is it. I was lucky enough to meet Vandross once, during a party at the home of Vaneese Thomas(daughter of Rufus). He had a sweet and kind demeanor and seemed so extraordinarily gentle and thoughtful -- a delicate soul wrapped in an oversized package. I also recall, how pre-arrival, even his close friends were buzzing: Luther's coming! And he's actually driving HIMSELF!!  Ah, superstars.

  • March 1984. I was already transfered to I.S. 74 from I.S. 52 when this first came out while I was in the middle of the 7th grade. Thanks for posting. Luther will always be one of the best.

  • I'm going through a divorce with my wife and when I hear this song I still have hope and cry.

  • @ddbreakdancer Hang in there big chap. I've been there and I know it's hard to believe now but in the long run it's for the best. Chin up big man, you'll be fine! Thinkin about you!

  • @VisionimagifyTV Yes, indeed...the end always has all the passion and feelings...love ya Luther!!

  • one of the most beautifully structured songs.

  • Luther Andross is a tribute to the music world! He sings from the heart and it's outshining his talent which is amazing. It invokes emotions, has us look at memories, and more importantly he brings us right there. It's real. Am glad that we are blessed with the recordings. :)

  • @MsChicChic to avoid having it cut out in the middle of the song.

    1. Start the video

    2. Pause it and anticipate

    3. Play when it's fully loaded. (If that doesn't work, shut off all apps you don't need on your pc and retry).

    FYI he's a tribute to the music world! He sings from the heart and it's outshining his talent which is amazing. It invokes emotions, has us look at memories, and more importantly he brings us right there. It's real. Am glad that we are blessed with the recordings. :)

  • TALENT..WHY CANT YOUNG PEEPS SEE THIS..ITS PURE FROM THE HEART..NOT SOME COWBOY RAPPING BULLSHIT

  • Missed but never forgotten!!!

  • My Fav Luther song. I hate when the phucked up radio stations cut the song off right in the middle of him softly singing, "It's Alright, It's alright, Ooh baby, It's alright, it's alright, alright, now, I used to be sad, but it's alright now". That just blows my moment when they do that crap

  • @MsChiChic thats my favorite part of the song lol. this might be the greatest long song of all time.

  • My Fav Luther song. I hate when the phucked up radio stations cut the song off right in the middle of him softly singing, "It's Alright, It's alright, Ooh baby, It's alright, it's alright, alright, now, I sued to be sad...........................­... The just blow my moment when they do that crap

  • No one better not dislike this song. This is such a beautiful, breath taking song. Nearing the ending, I just wish that it could go on forever. It gives me the chills and puts me in such a relaxing mood. On my way home from prom, this song happened to come on the radio so I decided to sing it to my date :) hehe! ♥ Thank you, Luther. May you rest in peace.

  • Remake so what! No one has sang this song like Luther has and no one ever will !!! so stop the damn hating!!

  • 0 people have no taste in music

  • carpenters were first to record superstar get ur facts straight, luther does it better.

  • very very inspirational

  • Luther Vandross, was not the person who wrote this song, moreover he was not the first artist to sing this song ... Maureen McGoveren was the originator of Superstar, but he sung it the best - nothing can compare to the way he sings remakes. Without a doubt or contradiction.

  • Fat, thin,everything else,, he is ,,,, well,,, hmmm, no words, I made babies because of this man!! Enough said I guess!!

  • Hmmm, I am in love!! his voice is... well...did he write his own music ? Did he write the lyrics also?? He made many babies with this song!! Love this man!!

  • I'm so in love with this song. This song means to me that don't take the one you love for granted. And some times you have to let the one you love go and just love them from a distance. I know most peope don't understand what that means, all i can say is keep living in you will find out.

  • No one has ever sung this like Luther...no one ever will

  • This takes me back to my younger days.

  • Best nine minutes of my life

  • play it easy

  • Chunes Love this song until i die

  • this is one of the logest songs ever and i love every minute of it we all will miss u

  • @SpazzTeam513 This song isn't long at all. It's actually quite typical of songs before the 90s. I've heard 20 min songs that you'd want to listen to over and over.

    Sometimes you can't get all your feelings into a 4 min song (hence the lack of soul in todays music). The big record companies insist songs remain under 4 mins though.

  • Luther is the creator of some of the most deep love songs that really speak to you and your loved one.

  • There will NEVER be another Luther...ever. RIP

  • Luther Vandross was an Angel straight from heaven, his voice was Angelic, his words were his wings which wrapped around everyone that heard his music. The world was graced by his soul, and we should give thanks for that.

  • My Favorite Luther song!!.

  • I'm not one to follow much of celebrities (Especially these days), but the day he passed...I weeped like a small child. We miss you Luther...always.

  • God Bless You Mr. Sir Vannnndrosss::::::: you gave us pure musical pleasure! THE BEST!

  • ooooh ,, this song make me cry .

    long a go jay :(

  • So amazing. This man sings with such grace and class!!!

  • When my cousin died at 26 this song comforted me so much.. thank you luther...

  • @scratchnandsurvivn I'm sorry for your loss so you're not alone when it comes to loving this song.

  • i love this song i now about him im 27 my mother use to jam this she still does

  • One of my all time favorite songs of any genre of music.

  • Absolutely fabulous, as was EVERYTHING he did.. a true music talent, now silenced. Missing you and your wonderful melodies, rest in peace, Mr. Vandross...

  • This is the greatest R&B song EVER! This song is truly a work of art. The beauty, the majesty of this song is so profound! There will never be another song like this! And, it makes the butterflies in my tummy take flight thinking about Luther producing this wonderful song, and makes me a little sad that he has passed on. Still, I am so thankful that Luther blessed the world with the gift of this song!

  • without a doubt.

  • "Masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!!!!
