  • I am sure the ones that dislike this video are the ones that represent the hearing impaired.

  • What year was this?

  • He took 'em to church...

  • these Dislikes must be Kim from ATL housewives fans!

  • From about 3:12- 3:50....Lordy.

  • How can anyone possibly dislike this??? Damn fools that have NO clue what good music is, THAT'S who!! Go on, Luther....sing your song!! Btw, I sing this song at most of my karaoke shows and blow people's minds with it.....and I'm WHITE.....but that is beside the point. Music is in your SOUL....makes no difference what your skin tone is.

  • This Man Sings With So Much EMOTION ! ;/I Jus Love Him ! It Was Tha BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE I'VE EVER SEEN !! :D

  • At 3:15, I think Luther made Quincy cry. What a great video. Thanks for uploading this LV gem!!

  • i saw Luther sing this live in UK on his tour in mid 1980..............spectacular.

    The best concert I have ever been to.

  • i dream. what a simply beautiful wonderful and rare voice. compassion is underrated.

  • We all have so much to learn from this beautiful song , this world is our home ,we all belong ,we are apart of this rich tapestry called Life <3

  • Flawless...

    

  • LISTENING AND WATCHING,THIS PREFORMANCE ! WHATEVER ANY OF US WRITE WE WILL FALL WAY SHORT, FOR THERES TRULY NO WORDS THAT CAN PUTS THIS SONG AND THIS MAN WHERE THE SONG AND LUTHER WERE IN THIS MOMENT IN TIME,TRULY A PREFORMENCE FROM ONES HEART, A LINE WITH HIS SOUL IN THIS MOMENT IN TIME !

  • OMG i can't breath...

  • 16 Dislikes?! Yo who has the nerve to dislike this. smdh.

  • look @chic at 4:58 when luther ask are you still gonna be in love . she is saying yes. the in the back

  • look @chic at 4:58 when luther ask are you still gonna be in love . she is saying yes.

  • Sheer perfection,never to be replaced by anyone,dont ever dare describe anyone as the NEW Luther Vandross,it just aint gonna happen

  • Damn i wish i could sing like that.....

  • I love the way Luther made even the saddest song a joyful experience. He combines artistry with the fun of performing. It's fine if you don't like the performance, but I don't understand the comments that he's making a mockery of the song. He's having fun in front of his audience and sharing the joy of music in a gorgeous song. He's a great artist...and he's entitled. I really doubt Bacharach would mind. :-)

    That said....great, great performance!

  • Yep best voice ever

  • The best ever. All I can say i damn.

  • CLASS !!!!!!!!!

  • Rührt mich zu Tränen ... So traurig schöööön!

  • 16 people are FULL OF SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • DAYUM!!! I CRIED WHEN HE DIED!!!

  • I guess the 16 dislikes are tone deaf, ... And they are a band of brothers, lol

  • LUTHER VAN DROSS!

    Vocal Genius! Best R And B Singer ever!

    Greatly Missed! Never Forgotten!

    This version, live, is my favorite video on all of YouTube! An incredible performance!

    God Bless You Luther!

  • My favorite Luther Vandross song!!!

  • This, above all, is the best song ever written and best sang by this exquisite voice. I loved him when I was a kid (70's) and still today. We lost a legend the day he died. Thank God we have all these memories to fall back on.

  • That, boys and girls, is how it's DONE

  • the song and this man is amazing...

  • LUTHER VANDROSS.... AMAZING, INCREDIBLE, UNIQUE, WONDERFUL... HE WAS, HE IS AND HE'LL BE A GREAT SINGER AND NEED NOT BE AN EXPERT IN MUSIC BE AWARE THAT THIS MAN SINGS WITH AN EMOTIONAL INTENSITY SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS ...

    HIS VOICE IS INCREDIBLY PERFECT VOCAL TECHNIQUE AND ITS THE BEST I HAVE HEARD.

    MR VANDROSS... YOU ARE A SINGER OF THOSE THAT WE GREATLY MISSED. YOUR WONDERFUL VOICE CAN ENRICH THE SENSE OF THIS WORLD. (A world so full of anger, hatred, envy and frustration)

    GOD BLESS U.

  • @MAGGIETA1 100% TOTALLY AGREE

    

  • How can u sit there n say that this was aqful how dare u this was n amazing song n luther is n amazing singer

  • One of the greatest singers of all time. This was a classic performance. R.I.P Luther you are truly missed

  • I just can't understand how People can admire this performance, I feel like an assault to my musical feelings about it. This Song is a very sad Ballad about a lost Love and what makes this Man with that ? He grins with a stupid look in the Camera and to the Audience and makes a silly Farce of it. I dön't like the adorable Ella Fitzgerald or the wonderful Sarah Vaughn in this Song either, they may understand it not as that what it means:the Cry of a wounded Soul in desparation.Whitney Houston can

  • It is a level that very few mortals ever reach....off the scale

  • LUTHER VANDROSS! An amazing performance by Luther in 1983!

    Luther was an incredible genius!

    Have watched this video maybe hundreds of times! It is the single greatest live performance I have ever seen on YouTube or anywhere! Luther = Great Ballad and Love Singer + R & B Soulful Singer! Very touching performance also! I am simply continually amazed at how tender, lovely and incredibly talented that Luther was! You watch this and think to yourself that this is a rare moment in musical history!

  • Who is that with that red glitter hat on?

  • I cried.

  • vandross had them girls MEZMORIZED lol

  • awesome...

  • Stands alone on stage

    Gets cue

    Red Light turns on

    Sings this in front a LIVE audience of world-famous performers

    Awesome

  • @camoury A true professional...not many left.

  • This Man last Name should Be R&B, Luther Vandross is a real player!!

  • 15 people were born after his death

  • Good Morning, Good Evening, Good Afternoon, Hello Bye Bye Baby!

  • I'm sure Ive watched this more than 300,000 times myself

  • The real bludclaat x factor. Now that is talent. Still in love wid u Luther R.I.P

  • A Singer's singer....

  • there ain't a pair of dry panties in the place

  • Look at lil Janet Jackson...

    

  • Tears fill the weal of my eyes.. He boldly embodied the beauty and sweetness that love brings to life with his soulful music.. This song will forever live in my heart... May his music forever find those hearts that seek to understand the meaning of love...

  • Fantastic live performance,Love It

  • He is the best that ever was...and that is saying a lot.  He sings so heart felt and my goodness is he sexy or what...?

  • Damn crying

  • Uhm............

  • When he sings he wants me to be in love with him I fall in love with him directly!!!!!

  • 13 people need to get their hearing checked. How the hell can you not love Luther?

  • @CoppinDome

    How the Hell can YOU ? He maybe is able to perform R & B like Chuck Berry and other Rock'n'Rollers but not this wonderful soulful and sad Ballad.Seems to me like Sacrilege against real great Performances like Dionne Warwick or even her Niece Whitney Houston.

  • He was graced by the hand of God! Straight up! Luther is so amazing, so heartfelt, the emotion he conveys in his voice is one of kind! He is so cool and is one smooth brotha! Love ya Luther! Words can't describe what this performance means to me : ) Such an inspiration & I'm pretty sure they're "still in love with ya"

  • Ohhhh I get goose bumps everytime I watch this video!

    The angels must be going crazy with him up there!

  • daaaaaaaaaaaaanm...this is ALL beautiful and Janet looks so cute there...Man, I wish i was alive in those good days...i was born too late...85...

  • i know this is Dionne Warwick song but Luther gets down on this song... He sings it wayyyyyy better

  • @MrLilb08

    You simply MUST be joking

  • im on 21.. but the need to bring this music back.. all this hypy, teach me how to dougie crap isnt music.. this is music.. I mean all these good singers dying lately like luther vandross, Gerald Levert, Teenia Marie.. i meann i can keep goin Teddy Pendegrass.. .. Oldies is where its at.. Luther is my All-time favorite singer...

  • So Gooood, Trade 100 rappers for one Luther any day. Thanks for sharing this treasure!

  • the best ones always go too soon. R.I.p luther truly a great talent!

  • Great! THANK YOU!

  • that was good

  • Luther....the epitome of PERFECTION!!!  He was a born performer...incredible talent, amazing voice, fabulous stage presence! Singing is an art, and he was the consummate singer! Without a doubt, this has to be the BEST live performance ever by Luther....I've seen it over and over, and it ALWAYS gives me chills! When a singer can MOVE so many people this way, you know his/her talent is very special, and there are few singers I can think of who fit that category. RIP, Luther...gone too soon!

  • LUTHER VANDROSS! God's gift to great music lovers! Luther in this single live performance created the single best video on YouTube!!! I've watched it hundreds of times and am still awestruck! He sang beautifully and effortlessly! His ballads were works of art! Like a great poet, singing his poems; each song Luther sang reached and touched us emotionally! God Bless You Luther!

    Thanks for decades of great great music!!

  • This great performance was clearly and undeniable the best ever live performance of any artist in the appollo theatre, even it has seen thousands of memorable of it... And noone ever will beat this historic event that night coz there wont be another Luther Vandross with his one and only voice. i am happy i saw him at least once live in a Monday Night Game between the Jets and 49ers when he sang the national anthem.R.I.P. Luther - u are the greatest ever

  • that warning at the end should have been at the beginning! i didnt know my mind was going to be destroyed! Awesome performance

  • Right Here is the Number One Video On YouTube.

    Luther Vandross singing "A House Is Not A Home" live is a once in a lifetime live great peformance by the master of R and B soulful beautiful ballads. Luther sang this song like a great poet might recite his poem - with beautiful phrasing, riffs, and unbelievable poise. I am awestruck every time I watch this video. Luther's music will survive, even though we have sadly lost him. God Bless You Luther. Thanks for your years of Great Music!

  • So many Great Memories, Luther Vandross...surely, one magnificent singer. Your forever live in our memories...Peace.

  • Luther is the MAN!!! and sorely missed

  • God gave those of us who appreciate soulfully sung beautiful ballads a singer named Luther Vandross! Here in 1983 Luther gave the best live performance of his career and without any doubt the best live video on YouTube! I am awestruck each time I watch Luther sing this song. Luther's performance is simply Amazing-Beautiful, Effortless, and Soulful! God Bless You Luther Vandross!

  • Proof there is a God, amazing voice. Wow.

  • Proof there is a God, amazing voice. Wow.

  • I like this version the best!!!

  • Saw him twice

    

  • wow that man gives me chills .....whoo

  • The man knocked Dionne down, and she was sitting on her chair when he did it. My goodness. If there was a word that beyond talent, this performance would embody that. He was a backup singer early in his career. Can you believe that? Vocals truly touched by God is all I can think to say. RIP

  • Awsome, he could be mellow ,soft ,with an amazing range and and at 3.45 he does something no one else can do.You have to be pretty good to impress Dinne Warwick.

  • now i heart luther vandross..in fact he is one of the reasons why i am an awesome singer today...but honestly i didnt really like this performance all that much..i mean voice cracks here and there...andd all the extra things he kept throwing in there ruined the song for me.....

  • Sing brotha...tear it up!!! You are one of the best R&B singers EVER!!!!!!!!! Love you and may you rest in peace. Love you always ...God blessed you with something special.

  • 11 People don't have a Home...just a medicore House..

  • thank you very much to lisa40500 for this video, the first time I watched this video made me really appreciate the song more. I have loved this song for a long time but this rendition of luther vandross made it more great... a million thanks to you and to luther, this video is a wonderful remembrance...

  • tears flowing freely...since about 1/3 of the way through this song...just gave up & let it flow...what a wonderful singer! 

  • Luther is the best singer I have ever heard. I listened to his music on a walkman whilst I crossed over a section of the canadian prairie and it was amazing to listen to. Out there all alone with Luthers voice. Incredible. Rest in peace, you are missed.

  • What a cool dude!!!

  • Thank you Luther, for all the love. Rest in Peace brother.

  • ...goosebumps....

  • THE GREATEST MALE R&B ARTIST OF ALL TIME!

  • @jljf2f

    I can't stand this Guy. What a vain,narcissistic,pretentious Selfperfcormance. What has good Morning, good Everning, good afternoon to do with that wonderful Bacharachsong ? This Man ruins this wonderful song with his WooWooWoowoo and dubdubdubdub - simply awful

  • Music today did JUST change...it's less stimulating emotionally.

  • 11 people must be bieber fans

  • Sorry to hear that pink bikini is no more but hope that you make your house a home and good luck at Wolves on sunday... Ciao Bella

  • Luther you were a gift from god to the human race people will be listening to this in a 100 years.

  • Only Luther, and possibly Sam Cooke could take a song like this and sing it live and do such an outstanding job. When it came to live performances, no one but Luther and Sam could do it better than the record. They are 1-2 in my book. and who's 1 and who's 2 is a toss up, depending on who you liked better.

  • North Amercians use the word "Awesome" far too much for every day things...but this performance was, is, and will always be truly AWESOME.....God rest your soul Luther.

  • @engman30

    The Word "Awesome" should be changed in "Awful"for this Set.

  • what can 1 say unbelievably the best live perfomance ever recorded fact.how can someones voice have so much control over it thank u for this masterpeice .R.I.P. luther

  • this performance gives me the chills every time I watch it.....flawless.... Dionne Warwick is mesmerized

  • @reddz80 I agree. A truly amazing performance. Take that! to all you Apollo crowd that booed him off the stage when he was in their talent show.

  • poor Luther.......gone too soon and not a druggie or a drunk. He just loved to eat! This was a voice like no other!

  • hmmm...chills

  • I'm not lying... I feel like crying (straight male). He was and is the greatest R&B balladeer of all time. RIP Luther you left a treasure for all the entire world to enjoy.

  • I don't see how ANYONE can dislike this.. What kind of sick person doesn't like this? Even the urban youth nowadays who only likes soulja boy and other bullshit like that.. HELLO PEOPLE.. KANYE AND TWISTA OVERNIGHT CELEBRITY... THIS IS THE ESSENCE OF MUSIC.

  • LOVE! 10 stars for the amazing performance and the cut away to Janet Jackson in the audience hehe

  • Attorney, speechwriter, and friend Clarence B. Jones said to Dr. King after his "I Have A Dream" speech that they worked on in 1963 that King sounded like Charlie Parker and John Coltrane with how he riffed extemporaneously off the original speech. Some people have the gift to spin magic in the air in a way that inspires, and uplifts. Luther was such an artist. Thank you.

  • LUTHER'S PERFORMANCE HERE IS THE SINGLE BEST PERFORMANCE ON ALL OF YOUTUBE! Luther VanDross had a unique God-Given Voice to sing beautifully, tenderly, soulfully + the ability to touch the hearts and emotions of everyone! Who else could sing lyrics with such feeling, passion, and skill?

    The Answer: NO ONE! Luther was a unique masterpiece! GOD BLESS YOU LUTHER V.

    THANKS FOR SUCH GREAT MUSIC!

  • just perfect

  • 4:55 my favorite part on up.
