His cd titled "SONGS" is all cover songs or remakes and I love it!! There is no one like Luther and if he remake a song you know it will be all LUTHER's.
The fundamental problem with Luther Vandross, was that the Gods had made him too perfect....too beautiful.......with a voice and smile as smooth as silk......And because he became heaven on earth.........the jealous Gods reclaimed him........
@saintjoe14 Who are you pose to be? Dr. Drew? I didn't say he couldn't sing or anything, so there is nothing wrong with my hearing... But you saying the JEALOUS GODS....... That makes you sound like a bafoon..
@Jermaine7144 No, there's nothing wrong with your hearing dog. lol..However, that is not the function of the cerebral cortex cus.....Thinking is not your forte and perhaps I threatened your psychological security by speaking to your religious beliefs....Didn't mean to wake you up "J" to the "E"...If I upset you in anyway, I'm sorry. Then again....If a bird had a radio in its ass, there would be music in the m'fuckin' air...Am I lying?
Please don't forget those fabulous soul singers who are still alive ... BOBBY WOMACK, AL GREEN, PEABY BRYSON, HOWARD HEWITT, JAMES INGRAM, FREDDIE JACKSON, EDDIE LEVERTT....
Why have our young ppl lost their way in music....we don't have any really good ones out there from the young generation? Nothing out today comes close to this level of excellence. This will be the first generation blk ppl music is not well represented on the world's stage. No matter how far back you go....we always had excellence...but we can't claim that anymore. Where did we go wrong with these young ppl? They are lost and off into some satanic stuff that we can't feel. Sorry but it's true.
@READY4REVELATION You really cant say that. Theres actually alot of music from this time that represents the past unfortunatly that gets repressed by bigger music industries leaving it "underground." If you look at some smaller record companies and there talents you will be surprised. -sincerly a 16 y.o.
Sorry, but READY4REVELATION is correct. There are virtually little to no good artist or songs from your generation. It's unfortunate, but when you get old, you won't have any good music to draw from unless the likes of Luther Vandross, The O'Jays, Teddy Pendergrass, Barry White and others are preserved for the future. It's not only hard to understand what your generations calls music, but it is even more disheartening to watch scarcely clothed women and men groping themselves.
LUTHER IS THE MASTER OF THE REMAKES, NO ONE DOES IT BETTER, WHATEVER HE SINGS ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS, A PLACE HE TAKES YOU AND PUTS YOU IN THAT SITUATION AND NO ONE CAN DO THAT THE WAY LUTHER COULD, AND WHEN YOU CAN CALL HIM BY ONE NAME IT'S SPECIAL, MAY YOU RIP BIG FELLA WE THANK YOU AND WE MISS, AND YES WE WERE BLESSED TO HEAR THE BEST.

When you are asked who, in your estimation, was one of the greatest singers of love songs, the only answer could only be Luther Vandross. He just had a way of making a song personal. He epitomized style and integrity. He was never one to make you wish you had not listened to his music. His voice was definitely a gift from God. His music will live on in my heart. RIP Luther.
As much as I love Luther, the Friends of Distinction's version is so ingrained in my memory, I can't hear it any other way. I know there are some old-schoolers who know what I'm talking about.
RIP Luther!!!! Like Donnie, Marvin Gaye, and the others ... You are simply IRREPLACEABLE!!!! Thank you for sharing your incredible voice with us and leaving us a part of your legacy.
Me too! I certainly wish he was still around - he had a style all his own - from the very beginning! He was in a band called Change. You can find it on You Tube. He was deinitely the star - back in 1981 or 1982!
that man could sang anything!!!!!! tyler perry sounds like the guy from the original in friends of distinction, when he sang that in one of his plays, cant remember which play it was tho.
I would be intimidated if I was a recording artist and Luther redid my songs. He's was just that good. Martin Luther King said a voice like Mahalia Jackson comes "once in every millennium " I say the same for Luther.
R.I.P Luther Vandross we love you without you what would we have in our hearts other than our parents but your in a better place you"ll never be forgotten
OVER YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo YeaaaaaaAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa .SAVE THE MUSIC! REST IN GREATNESS GREAT ONE. EVERYDAY ALL DAY I WILL LOVE YOU!
there will never, ever be another Luther. He is missed so much! he sang effortlessly and made every song his own. Such a shame he is not here but God knows what he is doing.
You all hear that, no listen, wait listen, man this is a master at work at his craft! Luther graced the mike, not yelled into the mike, like so many of these no jacks and jills! He was the best and could take any song and make it his! Peace to all those that know and all those just coming on board, you are here now, kickback and relax!
I was having this conversation with my brother and we both feel,Luther always adds that little bit of, honey, to any cover song he sang. It may be to late for another singer of his caliber to come along, not to say there are no great Singer today but Maybe not in the same class.
RIP Brother....My wife and I loved this man's music. In a world full of so much turmoil, he was peaceful to listen to.
