Luther VanDross - A House is not a Home (Live)

[bigirishuncle]

Wow! How talented can one person be? Man, I sure miss Luther. So smooth and such command of his voice. I cannot believe that hip-hop is winning over the young talent when there are such talented examples of how it should be done and could be done. RIP Luther, you were one of the very best.

[DoubleBeatMania]

Adele should cover it.

[herrlip72]

who's the woman on the far left in the sparky dress? at 3mins 25secs in

[210hump]

@herrlip72 Your momma

[johnboy39ify]

This man was born to sing ! Love you luther

[Kplezz]

Why the hell would anybody come on this video to dislike it???

[dirtyjankscc]

@JUK3333s so true!!

[theblogcatalogmenace]

IMHO simply the best singer of all time.

This is so deep it brings even me to tears every time I hear him sing.

Luther you are missed and we're so blessed that God allow you to grace us with your presence.

[LaboBry]

I can't stop listening to this song! Luther, you have an amazing voice.

[serenitychannel1]

He is so awesome. I love his music. However, it is so sad that he, Whitney Houston, and Michael Jackson are gone now. They were some of the best artists on the planet.

[chSTEW2004]

the ladie was wet as hell

[franchoapontes]

I can see (hear) this performance over and over again. Thousand times and more, and enjoy it as the first one!. Thanks GOD for the Great music and thanks for let us hear that incredible voice!

[hyattsteven]

@franchoapontes me too! i have watched this so many times

[eighttrack70]

29 homeless people are hating from the free library

[alstonmusicworld]

my favorite singer of all time and thats a vocal instrument he is playing luther thanks for your gift it has truly been a present to me

[candy2dacane]

Oooooh Luther...that voice!  :D

[CJThaSavage]

How the fuck can he sing this damn good? Live? That's some real talent right there. Such a beautiful voice. He makes it look so effortless too.

[JUK3333s]

It sickens me to think this video is under a million views yet autotuned crap reaches 100 millions ridiculous ...

[serenitychannel1]

@JUK3333s Amen to that. Why does crap get more hits? We try to promote scenic nature videos to heal the planet, and we only give a few thousand hits. Somethings not right.

[bankai2790]

Meet my all time no.1 Idol!!! 

[garyjknight]

Just how talented was this man? Dance With My Father, Superstar, Give Me The Reason, his version of Bridge Over Troubled Water with Jennifer Holliday, etc make me miss him so much.

[tristanaoc]

This was perfect, for lack of a better word

[iam21brittany]

omg this is a song that i will love forever lol

[taylorjuwig]

I don't even want to know how many children were born 9 months after this performance

[Ingleram]

Deffo live...pure brilliance shame we lost him

[volleygato]

panty dropper.

[Dancer810]

I think this was Luther's BEST live performance, ever! He had such stage presence and looked so at-ease on that stage. He totally owned that song and that performance! He and Whitney Houston were two of a kind...talent, class and poise to the max!!! I have no doubt both of them are now reunited in heaven and continuing to make amazing music together. Dionne Warwick was very close to Luther, so I'm sure that was another great loss for her as well.

[NJPlayer79]

When you're singing over a prerecorded track, with no pyrotechnics, no dancers, nothing but just a guy standing and singing, and you do a performance like this...wow. Just no words, undoubtedly one of the best live performances I have ever seen, and one of the greatest voices in recording music history.

[DOPFunk]

@NJPlayer79 Was it actually prerecorded? I always assumed that a band was playing somewhere in the background, sounds so live.

[serenitychannel1]

I remember when I was going to WMU, there was a rumor that Luther went a semester there in the music school. The rumor was that one of the singing teachers there told him that he couldn't sing and that he should work on a different career. How WRONG was that teacher! I love seeing success stories like this. He is awesome!

[thatlsk]

why did they keep showing Dionne Warwick's wide nostril having ass?

[projectkid97]

@thatlsk Because she recorded it first. He is singing it in tribute to her.

[thatlsk]

@projectkid97 Thanks, yeah I looked it up and she did make the song first

[Misskourt23]

PRIME REASON WHY MUSIC WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART

&& THE REASON WHY IT STILL LIVES

[AVACLEO]

So amazing and I miss his voice. Losing Whitney Houston is so sad and it makes me think they are together in heaven singing. What a sweet voice and what a sweet face. I would have loved to have met him and had him over for dinner! I hope his mother is doing OK.

[freshfade28]

when you have talent thats all you need when performing live, no gimmicks just you, id like to see the couple of artists out today with talent perform at this level

[VVaRGuEriLLa]

@freshfade28 that will never happen noone can match luther

[yaya4now2]

I like to believe our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ welcomed Whitney into Heaven and then she walked right into the arms of her friend Luther Vandross ...

[Gahuna1]

Real music, this is lacking in the music industry today

[KevL215]

He drove all those famous bitches crazy in there

[lmm429]

gives me goose bumps



[madpablo100]

total class the best singer that lived

[captainimij]

that is romantic music

[sunglass2]

Someone mentioned that Dionne Warwick wrote this but it was actually written by Bacharach & David who wrote many of Dionne's hits. Most facts can be verified by googling.

[markdj3]

100% da hora isto é só pra quem tem bom gosto musical...

[tanyaramoutar11]

This was so amazing so sad that he's gone!! Real talent!!!

[queenshariff]

Wow....just amazing!!!!!!!

[ShamelessNation]

Is he singing to Dionne?

[xbayoubengalx]

@ShamelessNation she wrote the song

[ShamelessNation]

@xbayoubengalx What? I had no idea Dionne was a song writer like that. Thx.

[xbayoubengalx]

@ShamelessNation Technically she had a songwriter who wrote it for her to perform

[shoneym517]

I hate when ppl dislike these video..bumz!!

[talia272626]

I forgive you Daniel,would you please forgive me honey bunny?

All my love forever and a day, Vic

[nemoto119]

The best performance I've ever seen. It's very moving.

[GamerStorage]

everybody hates chris brought me here :D

[Baptism13]

Good song....... 

[RickJames1811]

I wish we still had some REAL singers in this world! Luther didn't need Auto-Tune!

[jasminerocs4life]

like ....if u love this song

[BabaRizwan]

How could he sing this song in a very relaxing way. Effortless and he always smiles while singing. What a legendary singer.

[korrysipp]

WOW!



[PDeCaporale]

This is simply the best live male vocal performance I have ever heard in my life...and I don't think anyone even comes close, I'd like to see it if there is...I've yet to encounter it, he's in such command of this song, he OWNS it completely...and just like ad-libs it to play around cuz its just so easy and effortless as someone else said...un...believable

[calabis]

@PDeCaporale Vandross, Marvin, Cooke, probably the best pure male singers ever

[thanosdalegend1]

They'll never be another Luther Vandross!

[jasmineislovely1]

Best Luther song

[dantean]

Love this version, wish they'd have left Dionne out of it after the first 27 times they turn to her for her reaction to every last fucking note out of Luther's mouth as she clearly tires of having to come up with new expressions for the camera every 2 1/2 seconds

[andrewoman]

Phenomenal range and control. Just beautiful. No one touches his voice quality.

[andrewoman]

Breathtaking!

[LushLifestyle]

SO amazing

[firetko14]

Just Luther Killing it. Just a classic that will be timeless.. He was just the man he could set it off.

[AVTHEGREAT1]

VERY RARELY DOES A TALENT LIKE LUTHER VANDROSS COME AROUND. HIS PRODUCTION, VOICE & SONG CHOSE RATHER IT WAS A REMAKE OR ORIGINAL WERE ALWAYS PURE GENIUS. EVEN THOUGH I DO HIP HOP HE IS A INFLUENCE.

[HuckleberryNitro]

Tell me you dont get goose bumps by 4m23s

[CyRay0527]

No one like Luther - miss your voice!

[memyselfandi2311]

If velvet was a sound, then it'd sound like Luther.

[musiclover7088]

dionne warwick is so wet!

[musiclover7088]

AMAZING!

[shellyosborn]

[tndiege]

Amazing!! A young Janet Jackson in awe at 2:53



[dyshaun08]

[74karonligon]

[tooskool4cool]

[RickSeraf]

[TheFresh1187]

I can never have enough of this performance. Legend.

[shellyosborn]

Is there a verson where Dion Warwick is not soiling Luthers legacy?

[BLUMAJ1K6]

@shellyosborn  This was at a tribute to dionne warwick jerk!

[biggie101]

[MrAUFANATIC]

[CharSheKirbyissofly]

[draigeira]

All I can say Is Legend. Every 1st of July I shed a tear for the loss the world has suffered losing such a brilliant vocalist.

To Luther: We love you, you brought light in dark places and I will always hold a candle in the dark for you. You are greatly missed. R.I.P. my old friend and may your songs live on forever in our ears and hearts. xxxxxx

[aaronmhenry]

Does anyone know who the woman in the audience the camera keeps panning to--the one who puts her hand up in the air and waves toward the beginning (not Dion Warwick)--is?

[coreyoz]

Luther never

looked

better

[CaveGuy2008]

i heard he was gay

[punit101]

@CaveGuy2008 Im pretty much the straightest male on Earth and i'd be tempted to go gay for Luther if he sang this to me.

[CaveGuy2008]

@punit101 Dat was so gay dude

[ateotalopandas]

3:26 orgasm detected!!!

[0426518]

I LOVE THIS SONG AND I LOVE LUTHER(LEX LUTHER)LOL

[dcwsmokiebear]

Awww this is a song to reveal how ya really love someone and if its going good or bad... just listen deeply and bammm this takes the real.

[cal25killa]

find out who wrote the song. This is only a version that Luther sang he didn't write the words google it and find out how many people sang this song long before he did. From the Lockmaster58

[oddusee1]

i cant stop listening to this song. this is part of the blueprint to rb.

[taystorm]

this just brings me to tears to see such a beautiful performance and know that he's gone. One of my all time favorites

[cabrian40]

A class act...definitely one of the best voices ever....My all time favorite singer ever..

[tulsa4life]

AShow Stopping Classic by one of the worlds Best Singers Ever! Hands Down A perfect Rendetion of his Hit. Young Janet Jackson was really smiling!

[mybabyashley3]

wow

[slwb91]

Wow! Awesome performance and I truly miss Luther and his marvelous voice....

[oddusee1]

ben acapella is my num one . but this is my num one too.

[oddusee1]

this in my top five if not #1

[jrockdaman2]

The best ever

[zzyyxxo]

oh hecko. He just nailed this song. I miss him always.

[40superfit]

THE BEST SINGER I EVER HEARD... MISSED HIM SOOOO

REAL FEELING, MAYBE WY HE WERE GAY

[thahell83]

I am 28, cant understand/respect R&B anymore. This shit now adays is just shitty, these kids dont know what they are missing out on. This mofo is next to MJ in my all time favorites, all 3 of my kids love Luther! All under 10! All respect MJ as well.

[ChrisVanDam]

Luther's face at 6:38 lol he's like "Yeah, ladies... I know" -- RIP a TRUE Legend.

[thecrism1]

This is incredible ... Burt Bacarat had no idea what he was creating in this song!

[MrViewKick]

This is without a doubt the best singing performance on youtube.

[jorgebotija]

de esas 840414 veces , yo lo he visto 100 bravo luther dios esta complacido ante ti

[free2bpoppie]

'Nuff said?

No? well then you should probably be listening to the little chipmunks, instead of actual music and singers like Luther!

[tonez52]

and that is how it is done! BOOM!!



[afrowearing]

ah, it kills me to watch this E V E R Y T I M E !!!! Luther, I hope you made it to heaven so we can sing duets together !

[plumberowmtave]

ps - secret garden (quincey jones), we are one (frankie b & maze live in new orleans) and two people (minnie ripperton) are 2nd , 3rd and 4th re best live performances!

[plumberowmtave]

a masterclass in singing and delivery of a ballard, what a performance. Have watched this clip many times and i just cant fault it , i agree with the comment that this "sets the benchmark" for the best live performance by a soul artist: truly spellbounding.

[Uprising771]

5:51 for the sample

[Uprising771]

dionne warwick is high ...bet you she smoked some good weed in the car ride to this show

[lawlife1975]

2:53 .........Janet is just so cute. Sing Luther!

[piglatin9]

very pure voice... not all that autotunes and technology shit that makes singers good

[TheStarAlex10]

im 15 and i appreciate this music even when i was little....amazing

[torresbabe1998]

Had the best night ever at any concert when we saw Luther @MEN in manchester!!!!!!!! Different class.

[mjbruce23]

The boy was showin out on this performance. I think the lady in the lady in the silver-glitter dress left a pool of "coochie juice" in her seat. Janitors and maintenance workers across the globe must hate Luther Vandross. They're probably the ones hitting the dislike button.

[daveumpref]

@mjbruce23

You're correct, Every time you see this guy perform live all the older ladies yell, "aaaaahhhh Luther" and then they shake like that woman did and pass out. I guess I'm jealous... great song, Great voice

[trubleuu]

Goose bumps listening to this...

[jahweber1]

Every time I watch this video of Luther, performing the best love song ever, I can't help but be thankful for everything and everyone that I have ever loved. This song wraps up my love for life. I have struggled and I have endured a lot of things and I know there will be many more tough times and great times, but this song will last forever. Thank you Luther for singing so beautifully and making this version so hard to leave. You're awesome!

[Cashndoeallday]

Dione Warrick,Finally Had Her 1st ORGASM,shes stuck to that Chair

[GetInThaKitchen]

It's so cool how at 4:48 if you don't know Luthers version, you expect it to be the end of the song and end on a major chord, but it goes into a minor chord and the song turns from a romantic poem to a desperate plea. It sounds so much more vulnerable than the first half the song, it's like he's fallen to his knees and begging.

[TheGrimm2222]

R.i.p. Luther we miss u

[splite182]

sometimes I dislike things, but it really is beyond me how anyone can actively dislike this song.

[greenyred1]

18 cherries yet to be popped..

[ericgholmes]

Simply the BEST!!!!!!!
