      It can be but like a phoenix though we rise and emerge from the ashes never ever even need to be alone never ever again still it’s a beautiful song still love this song brings me back to so many good memories it’s okay and alright bro just have a god cry sometimes. Like Lyfe said ain’t nothing wrong with crying it’s like taking your soul to the laundromat.

He bought this album and said I can sing better than Luther. Tbh he almost did. But I will always have my dads voice singing as this song plays. Sorry I told a life story lol 😂😥😥

      @johnnykirk2099 Same here. Only difference is it was 1983 that I put the pieces together! Realizing Luther's voice was the voice from two of my favorite songs I would hear during my summers in Jersey -- Searching & the Glow of Love! So his debut album Never Too Much just stole my heart after that. My Dad would play the album every morning when he woke up until he made it out the door for work. This lasted for several months. It was my Dad's theme album and Never Too Much became my song!

      So yesterday I was watching Family Feud with a black family and a white family. The question was “name an artist who’s music a lot of babies were probably made to.” Ok, the black family said “Usher and R. Kelly” needless to say neither of those answers were there (even though you could make an argument for R); the white family said “Barry White, Teddy Pendergrass, Luther Vandross & Marvin Gaye”! Now the crime here is neither Luther nor Teddy were on the board!!! Whaaaat…..with songs like this if someone or something doesn’t come to mind you really need to reinvest in your love life…

    I lost my husband in Dec of '81. He was 29 and I was 25. We married young. I never remarried. I raised our 2 daughters and our son. I was 3 months pregnant with him. He was born exactly 6 months to the day his dad passed. Hardest thing I've ever had to get through. When I hear this song I cry like it happened yesterday. My heart is forever broken.
    I can't hardly wait to be with him again.
    I miss you Isaac 😔 💜

    At 33, soon to be 34 this December 24, I find myself reflecting deeply when I hear this song-it stirs something profound in me, bringing tears to my eyes. It takes me back to a time when love was abundant, a time so vivid with warmth and connection. It’s a bittersweet feeling because today, it feels harder to find that kind of unconditional love. Even in music, there seems to be a missing piece-the kind of songs that reach into your soul and make you feel.
    To anyone reading this, I wish you boundless joy and happiness. Remember, tomorrow is never promised-not the next second, minute, or hour. So love with all your heart, laugh as much as you can, and forgive without hesitation. Life is fleeting, but when we live it with love, it becomes a gift to ourselves and those around us.

I don’t want to be 50 yrs old right now. I want to be that 13 year old innocent little boy in his momma’s house, in Bridgeport, CT listening to 98.7 💋 kiss fm Night Beat with Yvonne Mobley. Just daydreaming about being a grownup and having a girlfriend. You get sad when you think about all your loved ones that have passed away over the years. Yeah, I don’t want to be 50 yrs old right now, but then Luther tells me “it’s all right, it’s all right...ooh baby, it’s all right, it’s all right “

      I'll say this much, I like the arrangement and tempo of Luther's version better...
      I can't imagine the song working as a duet by any 2 singers though. It's a song about heartbreak and rejection, you know?
      Both are extraordinarily talented, but the song just fits Karen Carpenter like a glove. Her voice, and melancholy delivery is just made for songs like this, and dare I say even her persona?
      Luther's version in the end has a more beautiful feel to it, Karen exudes the pain the song conveys sharper (though the arrangement of her version's chorus throws that off with the almost happy sounding brass section). Which version did you first? Oftentimes this determines which one we prefer...

    This was my grandmother's favorite song to listen to and especially when she was depressed. I didn't fully understand as a child the struggle of depression......but I do now and it has become my go to song as well.

    This is a testament that legends never die. Luther’s works will live on forever. Kudos to Seveda and her crew. This year you guys went hard on driving forward Luther’s legacy. Almost 20 years later and the flame of Luther Vandross is still burning on. Well done 🎉

      A lot of music made more sense the older I got. Such a beautiful, heartwrenching ballad. Luther knew how to use his voice to invoke so much emotion.
