  • roberta flack

    

  • gone but not forgoten

  • no word . definetily i love

  • Now this is some serious beggin' music. I love it. If you can't get hot, sweet, relations with some Luther playing, you'll be relating to yourself for a long time. At least until you learn the principle of 'beggin' music' and how and when to use it :D *****Remember, you can't just start with Luther, or you look like a bitch***

  • His sexual preference was none of our business, whether he was straight or not! More people need to live the way Luther did and keep personal matters personal. People need to stop putting their business on Front Street. All this tweeting and whatever--stop it!! For God's sake, stop it!

  • i loved luther the way he sings his songs...

  • i love him iam missing him ... thanks luther

  • Apres cavt tanem :D

  • I love that he didnt changed the lyric to her and just kept it as hiss soooo brave love u luther.

  • the voice

  • He was brave to keep this "his" in the song at that time

  • Did he die because he was gay?I will appreciate if people stop talking about his sexual preference and enjoy what he gave before he died.

  • Sorry to say that I believe that he was in fact gay. Does it truely matter; NO!!! Life is want it is and we have to respect life as is.

  • I'm blown away!!

  • damn  . .dis man can sing #teamluther

  • I had the joyous opportunity to watch this master do his craft twice in my life. Luther IS DA MAN! No one will compare to him at least not in my life time...when these kids realize that its the Crooners that get all the girls hearts and not the rappers that put stuff out on drugs...gangbanging...poppin capps and drivebys then we will be in a much better place

  • Best

  • why would you dislike this video....... i don't get it

  • Thank you Luther fro leaving us with such sweetness fro our souls - Thank you God for making our lives so worthwhile, time after time. What a gift!!!!!!!!!

  • this guy was so good, he didn't need a band; he could entertain effectively solo; thats rare nowadays.

  • I love my metal and rock but this guy had the greatest voice ever. 

  • Beautiful

  • I love you!!!!

  • luther the human instrument!

  • 10 people killed him hard.

  • Amazing. Wish I would have seen you perform, LV. Thanks for posting.

  • OUTSTANDING!

  • Just wanted to correct the origin of the song. It was 1st recorded by Lori Lieberman & the "idea" for the song actually came from a poem she wrote -after- she had been moved & inspired during a Don McLean (proper spelling) concert. She went home, wrote the poem and later contacted another music industry person she knew (Norman Gimbel). She gave him the poem & he sat down with song writer Charles Fox who set it to music. Lieberman didn't have a hit with it but Roberta Flack did 2 years later.

  • I love this man...He has an unmistakeable tone! He is also a good Role model!

  • Great song, great singer

  • @TheBrixMix who do u listen to...wat kind of music u like, and whose your favorite singer

    

  • @jkmont09 ill give you 2 people with the same type of mood, bill withers and al green

  • so powerful...

  • one of the best voices EVER. Period. If you disagree then just close the video. Luther is one of the most talented singers to ever share his voice with the world

  • He Sings So Effortlessly.

    RIP

  • I miss you brother.

  • it doesent matter what he was his singing is what made him truly a loss

  • it doesent matter what he was his singing is what made him truly a loss

  • it sounds like an angel's song

  • beautiful!

  • This song is about a singer/songwriter who was performing and the person listening felt as if the singer was telling his story through the song.

    Strumming my pain with his fingers ( one strums a guitar with his fingers)

    Singing my life with his words ( The singer sings his lyrics )

    Killing me softly with his song ( The one listening is being hurt by the song)

    telling my whole life with his song( The one listening felt that the song was about their life)

    The person singing was a stranger.

  • Killing me softly ... you know you are!

  • He's music is so beautiful!!! I absolutely love his voice so powerful : )

  • The 8 people that dislike this video are noobs.It is clear his voice is beautiful.May god bless his soul! Amen

  • Luther's voice rips my heart out of my chest every time. I'm breathless after listening to this...and he did it all so effortlessly. What a sad loss of a beautiful soul and an incomparable singer. I miss him as if I knew him personally. He set the bar so high up that no one could come close if they tried. Just beautiful...beautiful...beauti­ful...

  • @chemistrywascrazy I went to his concert and could not believe what I was seeing. NOBODY got up to get anyting truly amazing!!!

  • @chemistrywascrazy

    you can say that again, his music will never die

  • We don't care if you were gay or not! Your music and you were so excellent! Never forget.....!!!!!!

  • You call him gay because in this time people actually could sing REAL music. now sex sells... so yes make money, but doesnt mean it will leave a legacy like this guy will. has..

  • thos 8 who hate ; can go to hell ; luther was a musical icon ...

  • Luther was a blessing to humanity. He will be remembered for years to come. May God embrace his soul. Amazing.

  • that man can sing anything and make it sound GREAT! maybe he shouldve switched the lyrics up, but it doesnt matter..

  • Luther...I'd don't care who you slept with....Nobody...nobody....nob­ody...can touch you my Brotha...RIP....

  • all that matters is the music this man gave us,thats what the world will remember about him..........he will be missed.................

  • All the anti-Gay homophobic comments are so ridiculous and irrelevant...

  • i dont noe if he was gay but he did not write this song so dont base it on this song

  • AMAZING!!!!

  • just great cant get enough of his music ! i will listen forever forever!

  • Luther is still my favorite, gay or not. This is LUTHER VANDROSS!!!!!!!!!!! Who gives a damn. He makes good music for straight AND gay folk to get it on to.

  • Luther love you and miss you RIP

  • The best singer!

  • damn i miss you <3

  • @MrTAMAKIE The song is originally from a female singer, its a cover, Mr. Vandross didn't change the lyrics when he covered it.

  • can anyone tell me, what is the meaning of this song? is this love song?

    the lyric is "HE" , is this gay's song? haha LOL

    sorry i can't speak english fluently hahahha

  • @MrTAMAKIE No it's not a love song. It's about a singer who can see into the lives of his audience. It's not gay or "hetero"! It's simply a beautiful song. It was actually written about Don MacLean who sang "American Pie" and "Vincent".

  • @JRost26

    gay people are the best

    i bet u wear clothes and cologne all made by gay men! *fingersnap*

  • yes luther was gay, who cares...oh wait guess what so was barry white...and MJ was a pedophile...they still made great music...just enjoy the music. @lee4567 made me cry as well brother, with dance with my father. everytime i hear it lol

  • @JRost26

    are u an idiot? MJ wasnt a pedophile...and secondly even if he was, why are u including it in the same setence as barry white and luther being gay?

    Gay is a sexual orientation (gay, bi, straight, asexual), which means sexual attraction to a gender (male /female). Being gay is consensual between two adults.

    If MJ was really a pedophile and he touched little kids, that is not consensual. And would not be forgivable. You would actually listen to songs by a pedo?

    In anycase he wasnt.

  • @ohnoyoudidntx i never said there was anything wrong with the being gay, and i don't believ he was a pedophile but alot of people do, so sorry if i got you into a rant. and i probably do wear clothes and colonge made by gay men, who cares, atleast it smells good and im styled xD

  • @JRost26 -=-BARRY WHITE was NOT gay!!! where did u get that crap.

  • i loved you so much luther.you were one of the greatest.gone too soon.love forever.david

  • gay straight black white fat thin who gives a flying F**k the man could sing. he was one of a kind. Im a big man, but this guy brought tears to my eyes many times.. Ive watched this concert and listened to all of his albums more than anyone could ever imagine.. This man played a big part in my life with his music, his voice, his vocals.. Nothing compares !! R.I.P LV

  • @lee4567  Beautifully said....

  • some people are so uptight. Why can you not enjoy the talents of a very talented performer and ignore the rest? Luther is amazing!

  • killing me softly with her song. i know she read my letters.

  • todo un señor de la cancion siempre seras el mejor. dios te bendiga.

    y te tenga en su santa gloria.

  • todo un señor de la cancion siempre seras el mejor. dios te bendiga.

    

  • Wait, Luther Vandross was a fag??? Fuck this jewish illuminati mind fuck we have all been put under.

  • I don"t give a damn if he was gay! His talent is what future singers pray they had!!! This man was a beast on the Mic and has always made me want to keep trying to work on my vocals to even be half as great as he was !!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Luther gay or straight people get over it. the shame is if he were gay and he never said caue of society. now thats a shame. but gay or straight his music is the best in the world even still. only man that came cloe is Marvin gay, then Luther . were are the men today. God bless you Luther xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • I thought that he just wanted to do the original song, and he knew that the song isn't gender specific...lol...the only thing that would make it would be the "flushed with fever" part...but not even that has to be...lol!

  • Da vida se vive de tudo um pouco a cada momento pode achar que viveu de tudo, mas com certeza que o Luther soube viver intenssamente, pois amava o que fazia cantar e encantar....

  • OMG!! WOOOWWWW!!!!!

    RESPECT :D!

    Greets from holland

  • If he was gay, it helped him tremendously in his writing and vocal skills, because he wrote and sang from a woman's point of view. This is why women went buck wild whenever he opened his mouth to sing one of his classics.

  • Maravilhoso, adorei, voz suave, Luther Vandross era o anjo do soul.

  • I love Luther's rendition but no one can top Lauryn's

  • @09Squadboy

    But Fugees weren't even the original singers for Killing Me Softly. Hell, even the Jackson's did a cover on this back in the 50s/60s.

  • you people dont understand, the song is about going to a place to see musician and the musician's song 'kill him softly' because it told his his emotional feelings. nothing gay about the song, if its sung correctly you do it as roberta flack did, because the song is about a musician who plays and sings a song that is about your life. . it like going to a john legend concert and his song touched you and you felt he singing about your life.

  • When you hear the voice, you know it is Luther. His music will be with us forever. God bless you Luther, and thank you for the songs. They will be with us Always & Forever..

  • Yes Luther was gay and fabulous, this song helped him come out when coming out was taboo.  The artist that he was , tremendous to say the least., RIP LUTHER BABY!!!

  • you can call him gay & etc. all you want.....but he's the only man that could sing this song so well!!.....LUTHER YOU WILL REMAIN WITH US FOREVER!!!!!

  • great song. just doesnt sound right with a man singing ot though lol

  • Puuuuhh , great, the Voice wonderfull, Thank you Luther, RIP

  • i play dis ova nd ova on fb coz NO1 can sing it like Luther, RIP Luther xx

    thank you 4 posting this tuuuuunnneeeee

  • *_____________________*

  • Hands down my fav Luther remake.

  • Best male singer ever!!!!!

  • @BRATT1D i agree

  • love it love it love it.....love his voice.......

  • love this song

  • This guy was amazing. His voice was immaculate. The closest person today that can touch him is Maxwell & he's not there but close. He may have been gay but I don't know him personally so that ain't my biz. If I was a performer, I would emmulate how he approached the tone & the craft n how to present it to a crowd

  • I knew this song only as Fugees song so to my surprise I found many other versions. I listened to Michael Jackson's, Alicia Keys and even Roberta Flack's version and I thought there is no better version than Lauryn Hill's........I was wrong. RSPCT

  • yeah sing Luther, miss You !!!!
