    His concerts were an experience. Pure class! I remember the first time I saw him, I was in shock through most of the show. Couple of years later I attended with someone else who was attending for the first time and got to watch them experience that same feeling of awe. RIP Luther. Love you. Miss you.

    Luther had the best backup singers in the entire history of the music business. He knew how to pick them...I mean just listen to them, and Lisa Fischer hitting that high note. Yes!!!

      @@younggod3906 I was brought up on Luther's music playing on repeat.
      I had a tough experience as a kid and this guys voice used to make me chill out and feel comfort.
      I'm a 35 year old man now with 2 kids of my own & still his music brings back memories of being a kid and blocking stuff out with his tunes on full blast.
      Crazy to think luther recorded his tunes in the USA and there was this scrawny 8 year old kid in manchester uk playing his tunes in his room loud enough to block out the shouting.

    Love how Luther starts off his vocals in the right key (to a tee) when he sings: "What's there to say, there's not much to talk about" before the music kicks back in. One of the best vocalists of all time by far! A one-off! 🎤

    I remember seeing Luther at Manchester Apollo back in the 80's and him opening up with this song. Someone threw a towel on his head whilst he was in mid song and he nearly walked. Luckily he resumed and gave a faultless performance.
    I'm now 54 and seen countless artists in venues large and small. However no other singer or band has ever been his equal and probably never will. I feel very fortunate to have experienced such an amazing concert. RIP Luther
