LUTHER VANDROSS (Live) - A House Is Not A Home (w / lyrics)

[anonymous10623]

Jacob Lusk could not do this song justice. He was too into himself and his talent so when he sings he is all around the note without ever hitting it. I miss singers like Sinatra who just sang the song, hit the notes and sold it by just feeling it and believing it. Miss you today too Luther!!

[chiytara07]

This song bn stuck n my head all day 1/3/12

[philliplamargreen]

A AMAZING VOCALIST-RECORDINGS SOUNDS JUST LIKE LIVE PERFORMANCES-INCREDIBLE TRULY TOP THREE IF NOT NUMBER ONE--MY VOTE IS #1

[MyLifesPromise]

A man gone way too soon but so grateful that he blessed us with his presence and shared his voice with all of us to hear. Love you Luther!! :-)

[kingagdub]

[MlssCue]

This is how I was use to seeing Luther, when he lost all the weight it was something to get use to. But good looking either way! Oh & the beautiful soul he had, just oozed out of him in everything he did! Gone too soon, R.I.H. Luther!

[craig0852]

If I was ever stranded on a deserted island and could only have 3 things with me, I would pick: 1) a ton of food, 2) a beautiful woman, and 3) A CD player loaded with all Luther songs!!!

[gangstarsonny]

Go to the little speaker (Volume thing) > Right click > Playback devices > Pick your headphones or speakers > Enhancments > Pitch shift > Set it to +4 > The song sound soo good.

[bermygirl59]

First time I heard Luther sing this song, I melted...and I still melt. It will never get old for me.

[Mesalonika]

BROTHER R.I.P HE LUV HIM LUTHER NOW HIM AND LUTHER TOGETHER

[ravie6973]

Because of listening to Jacob Lusk on American Idol I decided to come here and re-live Luther's song. OMG Luther Vandross could sing. Gosh I wish he was still alive. But RIP Luther. Your music lives on in people like us who will never stop listening to it and in people like Jacob Lusk who can SING and will make it live on. Love you both.

[mjbaybgurl]

I LOVE THIS SONG!! LOVE U LUTHER!!!

[bananamansouth]

We are so so fortunate and blessed to hear this gift from God bestowed upon us. Luther is among just a handful of elite voices in a lifetime. May it be random or fate, I am truly grateful for my sense of sound.

[123dyzful]

lol he's so yung right der 

[kiwiqurl09]

always and forever love him R.I.P.

[123dyzful]

@kiwiqurl09 lol & omg! i didn't knoe i am cr8zy

[TrudyBuck]

This is just soooooo very beautiful, and it makes you want to have someone especially when you're by your self. This is one of his most fabulous hits!! The man was just born to sing sing and then sing some more.

[daggakid90]

millions of babies were conceived to this song

[murano93]

Très belle mélodie, une voix sublime !!!!

[djmixalus]

Songwriters of that era were required to read and write music. That way its easier to expand on an idea for an entire song. Notice he isn't screaming . Most singers replace proper diction and masterful song interpretation with loudness and showing off vocal volume not finesse. Check out Sarah Vaghns version brook benton etc. See how each did it in their own way.

[djmixalus]

This song was written in 1964. By written I mean notated for instruments and vocals. It may even be mathematically perfect on paper. The other emphasis was on vocal interpretation and delivery. Thats why this song was covered mad times. Stevie wonder covered it with a harmonica. I think today a lot of producers over produce songs and fill it up with synthesizers.

[jimjamborine]

i wish i had at least 1/4 of his musical talent and spirit.

[CaramelBeauty87]

This is what u call LOVE music! SMH I miss music soo much it died when they started letting people who can't sing make records. RIP Luther! m(_ _)m

[monsieurkarl]

1 person thought it said, Dis.I.Like

[briscoeb5127]

SIMPLY PHENOMENAL.

[rizzlc1]

No male singer will EVER come close to this!!!!

I MISS YOU, LUTHER!!!! The industry will never have another you...

[mzidesha69]

@rizzlc1 NONE WILL EVER COME CLOSE TO HIM ..... I MISS HIM AND HIS MUSIC R.I.P

[rizzlc1]

@mzidesha69 Absolutely!!! This video is prime Luther. He could just stand flat foot........no hoochie dancers.......no background singers......just stand there with a mic and hypnotize an entire audience with just his voice!!!! That kind of talent doesn't exist today.

[cportkilla]

I wish love was love again.

[shadyshad1]

LUTHER WAS A MONSTER!!! A MONSTER!!! HE MAKES IT LOOK SO EASY...I WANNA BE JUS LIKE HIM

LISTEN TO ME SING ON MY PAGE AND TELL ME WHAT U THINK!!! PLZ!!!

[oldskol66]

[oldskol66]

He was... and will always b ,,,the man with the Golden voice...!!!

[femaleinessex]

FANTASTIC, what more can I say....

[ontheonesandtwos]

incredible/ beautiful

[Kapernakus07]

Al green, marvin gaye, Luther, my top 3

[1truthfulman]

@Kapernakus07 ok. I agree with you. But the real R&B heavyweights of Music in the last 60 years go like this: Otis Redding, Al Green, Curtis Mayfield, The Isley Brothers, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Luther Vandross, Michael Jackson, R.Kelly and Boyz II Men. What do you think?

[Kapernakus07]

@1truthfulman, that's quite a list and nobody could disagree with that. To be honest I say those are my top 3 but they re all great. Although what about ray Charles?, I'm not sure if he's r & b tho.

[1truthfulman]

@Kapernakus07 you are right about Ray Charles!

[themrduragss]

woooooooooooooooow!!

[Matthiasnewsome]

addendum.. Luther touched a cat with his music. I mean male, female.. he let u, no, made u feel what he was singing with his beautiful expression of whatever song or lyric. I had been moved to tears in 1981 by the original rendition of a house is not a home. Moved to tears again, with "Dance with my father". Nothin wrong or out of order with my manhood or sexuality, Allah as my witness. But the brother "moved" me like that.. tears tryin to come, comin down now, listening to this video.

[Matthiasnewsome]

I ask myself.. then ask Allah, why did this brother have to leave so soon? Loved this cat. Beautiful beautiful brother that touched me and so many others with the gift God had blessed him with. Played him so much, even from the beginning in '81 that his music made him like "family" in our house. Miss u dude. love u .. Allah keep u

[chaiyaton]

Ha Ha Ha!!!! Look at Ohpra, her mouth is wide open, cause he is KILLING IT!!!!!!!!!!!

[sprayteam]

off the chainnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[aknini]

Oh I miss him!

[MrShawnab]

i love Luther

[classicvinylbiz]

My gosh, this is phenomenal. Thank you for uploading!

[Ghelfaba]

I've been a fan of Luther since the early 80's. What a loss his passing was. I was watching Glee. Chris Colfer did a good version of this song. It fit the storyline very well. When I heard it I got on the net right away and searched "A Chair is something or other..." found Luther... Yeah .. What a gem ... This song was written by Hal David-Burt Bacharach in 1964. It was the title track for a movie of the same name A House Is Not A Home, and sung by Brook Benton.  - Still miss you Luther !

[classicvinylbiz]

@Ghelfaba Hi, I uploaded the Brook Benton version recently:

/watch?v=rgwGOAS_Gzk

[TheROmayne]

[alexanderdiaz1]

Good Morning Good Evening Good Afternoon Hello Bye Bye Baby...Only Luther...THE GREATEST of them ALL!!!

[charmedluver2]

honesty i really could cae less... about rap.. now every now and then their is one i like but i mostly stick with old school hip hop and rnb.. like luther michael prince etc.. i miss lutha and michael grew up listeing to them gonna die listening to them... im 15 and i still love the music of the old days..

ilysm Michael Jackson and Luther Vandross

[tamonique22]

you pretty much just summed up the state of music today..you're only 15 and you don't even like the music what does that say? And the record labels wonder why nobody is buying albums...you can't go from this to soulja boys off in this hoe..it just doesn't work

[EazyTarantino]

and rap still sells more than other genres.. so one little girls opinion about todays music means nothing.. i bet ur grand parents dont like rakim or krs-one but theyre classic hip hop artists.. you might have some mainstream artists making shitty music and only the most commerical music being promoted.. but that was the case also in the 60's, 70's and 80's.. the record labels dont wonder why nobody buys albums.. its called the internet

[charmedluver2]

while tht my be true..i wasnt stating a fact but how i felt at tht point in time...tht was simply my opion..but i do appreciate yhur opion also..

[tamonique22]

wow do some research before you respond to me hun

[EazyTarantino]

u got nothing else to say besides do research?

[thesp467]

You are a wise young man!

[charmedluver2]

were yhu referring to me..

[thesp467]

Yes I was Charmedluver. I like some rap but nothing like I love Luther, Prince and MJ, well Janet too.

[charmedluver2]

i feel the same way...

[SolemnTruth]

wow!!!

[MOLINA787]

journey

[Hannibal730]

you can not touch Luther.

[beatinitup79]

his voice is UNTOUCHABLE a song whose words mean as much to you as his is like nothing that can be explained heavenly

[uniquesheikfreak]

His voice was like an instrument, and his lyrics were virtually always meaningful.

[ivanb750]

LUFFA!!! Gotta say Luffa when you feel this song.

[Waysplusmeans4real]

Absolutely Breathless...

[Waysplusmeans4real]

yes! I miss Luther

[sdTendingDame]

Its like listening to an angel sing whenever i hear this song. Live or studio version. R.I.P. Lutha...

[yvessaintlaurent88]

I think he had the most beautiful voice out of all male singers! His voice was so classy; everything about him was classy really!

[mrj24]

Luther!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Leanmerc]

HI I AM FROM DOMINICAN REPUBLIC ,waooo this and all his songs are full of beauty I LOVE THEN !!!

[Holygrail2]

Wow, even Oprah's speechless.

[oucutiern]

Luther is most assuredly in the house of the Lord. His soul is so beautiful (this song and others make me cry!)

[kurt30001]

A Luther Vandross song = A candlelight dinner and a slow dance with the one you love..

[hansumjoe]

I am as white as the day is long....and I love this tune...this and Make me a believer.

[symtron]

4 years ago today.. Luther was absent from the earth...and hopefully in the presence of the Lord...RIP Luther..
