I love Aretha giggling and saying I like that!!! SOOO sweet. Aretha said in the George Michael video that A House Is Not A Home will never be the same, she was right. I love that she treasured singing with Luther and George. I kind of wish Luther & George would have been a couple, maybe they'd still be with us. George lost his love in the early 90s and he never quite recovered from that loss he said. And, I sure hope someone loved Luther in the way his fans loved him!!! I loved Stop To Love so much, and was so happy when it'd come on the radio!!!
After viewing this performance for the VERY FIRST TIME today.....I am speechless with awe & admiration......on several different levels. Luther Vandross & Aretha Franklin, the most gifted male & female vocalists of our generation.......sharing the same stage with a performance that was practically worth the price of admission itself. Every individual in the audience was exceptionally blessed to be a part of this.
I believe they were singing in Hieroglyphics tones at the 4:21 mark the most beautiful tones going between the two He spoken in tone and she responded back in tone
You all do know Aretha was in the audience and NOT slated to perform.That's the reason she ad-libbed and improvised.If you grew up in the black church, you'd know it's a very common practice, putting folks on the spot."Is sister Shirley in the house? If so, can you come up here and sing.They'd wing it by one person singing and the other person follows the melody ad-libbing.I know Luther got a good cursing out backstage, Aretha is very regimented, hates surprises and has no chill.
Yeah but she loved the fact that he was singing to her, probably the one time she didn't mind, Luther was one of the greatest soul singers of all time, can't be duplicated as well as she can't be!
You nailed it. If the words were important, they could’ve done something. They weren’t, he’s already got the lyrics..just the accompaniment and those two voices the best of the best, on the same stage forever preserved here...GOLD
Two of the most gifted singers I’ve ever heard....in my 70 years. All the times they “got me through”.....times when no one else would do...truly magic. Just magic. Thank you, Luther...thank you Aretha. From the bottom of my heart of hearts...for reaching in down deep ...and touching the soul of me. 😇
This is the first time I saw this being song by two of the GREATEST LEGEND SINGERS THAT WAS ON THIS EARTH THEY CANT BE COMPARED I MEAN ATHERA FRANKLIN SHE JUST SONG WITH HIM IN THIS SONG AND THEY ARE RESTING IN PEACE IN HEAVEN 💞 GOD BLESS
I am so happy to say that I own SEVERAL CD'S by them both. I adored them and glad I had the foresight to make the purchases of both artists. You can't get music like this today. The artists are more LUCKY than talented.
You know, we have so many talented black artist's that when you listen to them each INDIVIDUALLY, you're in AWE of their vocal abilities! I definitely believe that Aretha is the #1, because of how she gets into your SOUL & HEART to MAKE YOU FEEL what she's feeling, that just can't be DENIED! But when you listen to Whitney, Mariah, Celine, WOW, WOW, WOW, do we have some talented artist's! The O'jays, Luther, Marvin, Issac Hayes, Smokey, I can go ON & ON! we have so much TALENT its all BREATH TAKING & worth LISTENING TO OVER & OVER AGAIN .......... I am 70 years old, and HAVE the ALBUMS, not CD'S!!!!
Matter of taste. yes he is a great singer. I don't know if we will ever see or listen to music like that in our lifetime. You don't even need a voice anymore to get on stage.
The greatest male and female singers on the planet. I feel so blessed to grow up with their music. This is true Soul Music. Where is the Soul Music today? Rest In Peace Ree Ree and Luther.
Listening to them sing side by side, you can clearly hear the influence of Ms. Franklin on LV. Thanks for posting this. Respect and RIP to the ONLY #QueenOfSoul and to Luther Vandross.
@@catboyzee and thats the key word ABSORBED..i read the book on his life and he spent years just studying aretha dionne and diana...only if this era could understand...in order to move something forward u gotta go back and do ya homework
If I could go back in time and go to one concert that I have not been to, it would be one of his. I regret to this day not trying to attend one of his. His life was cut too short
The respect for each other is so evident but the sweet Luther Vandross at points looks like he is about to freak out because he is singing with the queen of soul. R.I.P Luther & Aretha.
Close your eyes and try to imagine the choir in Heaven with these two voices. Add Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and so many others; yes, that's what I'm hoping is awaiting all of us - that choir in Heaven. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
She, like the rest of us, was so in awe of Luther, and because she was invited from the audience to come up and sing with him, she wasn't exactly comfortable not knowing where he was taking the song. He seemed more to have been charming her and she enjoyed every minute. At one time she just stopped and said "I love it" with such admiration in her eyes. But the real deal was how much he admired her. He was indeed thrilled to have had this moment with her.
The veil draped over the black magic when these two died. They were so talented and so real. There will not be another like them. I am so happy I lived through this era and enjoyed this great music.
Yooo that "make me believer" echo was crazy I almost thought it was gonna switch over that's the power that luther vandross can do with his voice it can't be matched you never know what he'll do next
I LOVE THIS Luther Vandross the velvety smooth crooner called his idol Aretha Franklin on stage to join him. Luther hit one of those amazing Lutha runs and the Queen stopped the show when she took the run an added a few notes... OMG call and response, I love it when singers do it........ I love when Karen Clark Sheard and daughter KiKi does it when they perform together, I loved it when Whitney and CeCe Winans did on "Count on me' and I love how Luther and Ree did it here..............
Can’t believe the world had lost so many talented stars .we grown up to witness & listen to their music ( RIP Luther & Aretha, Witney, Michael Jackson’s ,Prince. So many the list gos on ..You will never be forgotten .thanks for bringing joy in our hearts .we remember that.. love all around may Good welcome you all to his kingdom ..Amen
My two favorite singers; they finally meet and heaven is abuzz. Thanks for the warmth and love you created in our hearts with melody and song. Rest in peace, we will meet again.
I’m so glad that you tube exist, Luther is gone, but that voice is still here for me to hear this.. Two great vocalist gone but not forgotten. Thanks UA-cam,
OMG-you’ve all said it perfectly. This 66 year old cowgirl is moved to tears by this extraordinary performance. Whatever your musical preference, you can’t ignore greatness. And I’m blessed to have heard this.
2 of the greatest singers who ever walked this earth
Moutton Noir The absolute GREATEST.
Amen 💞💞💞💞
All true!!!
You got that right
That's not an understatement 😂😂😂😂😂 o
Nobody can sing like Luther . I fall in love, got engaged, and married to Luther.
Luther was a gift to the world from God. I miss him so so so much.❤😢
Aretha was a gift from God to the world. Miss them both so much.❤
I miss them both so much.
What made Aretha great is the fact that she sung effortlessly.
*Seemingly* effortlessly! I think she works hard
Absolutely
Facts
It's a gift from God, I believe.
RIP Aretha and Luther. No one can ever compare. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
David Richardson No. One. ❤
David Richardson. So true!!!
Me singing:
Watch "Walk around Heaven" on UA-cam
ua-cam.com/video/8ao4_HeP0u8/v-deo.html
Never !
damn David Richardson your right. Not.one.damn.soul.
David Richardson I've had the pleasure of seeing both Luther and Aretha live and they were both outstanding!❤️
Luther had the most incredible voice. Listen to his music everyday.Stunningly beautiful.
paul watson that's true
Not just him...this is the best of the best.
OMG . . . yes!!!!
Yes
paul watson the most beautiful voice
'People' have forgotten what true artistry and talent is. Period!
"people" indeed.
Amen! 😂
This was a masterpiece, Aretha can sing with anybody.
Anntheia Farr yes
She could sing with anybody and she could sing anything!!!
So could Luther, tht why this is so special
But not everyone could sing with Aretha you had to be a Good singer before she showed you up, without even trying. RIP Aretha xxx
Richer Prior : in deed! They both compliment each other.
The master teacher (Queen) n the master student (Luther)...so sad we dont have THIS today in this era...RIP to Queen n her Protege
OK! Get it right!
I love Aretha giggling and saying I like that!!! SOOO sweet. Aretha said in the George Michael video that A House Is Not A Home will never be the same, she was right. I love that she treasured singing with Luther and George. I kind of wish Luther & George would have been a couple, maybe they'd still be with us.

I loved Stop To Love so much, and was so happy when it'd come on the radio!!!
The way Luther said Aretha Franklin gave me chills. Gift to us from God❤
Them being in love with each other’s voice is so great. We don’t get duets like this anymore 💕Can’t believe they’re both gone now.
How are you doing today my name is Eric
💃🏾🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🕺🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
Rest in peace Luther & Aretha ………………...
I'm just devastated 😭😭😭
jean-luc Ferrand amen amen amen.
🎶🎤🎼
Aretha's voice is just so soulful, she has no rivals.
Helllllll naw!!!! We'll NEVER be memorized by two legends like this ever again in the world as we know it! Omg OMG... chills up my spine!!!!!
Two great SINGERS. Love it. This was originally done by one of Luther’s other favorite singer’s Dionne Warwick.
He did many of Dionne’s songs
Ella Fitzgerald did a cover of this song before Luther. It’s just as clean and crisp.
RIP to these 2 amazing vocalists!! There'll never be another Luther and Aretha ❤
Ain't that the truth!!!!!!!
Most of the greats are all gone.
Two legendary singers…….R.I.P. Luther and Aretha!
LOOK AT GOD,FANTASTIC, SIP,MY BROTHER,AN,SISTER,,,,,GLORY👏
Luther V. and "The Queen" it gets no better than this......R.I.P....the legendary,
Mr. Luther Vandross....you are so truly missed!!!
These two legends will be missed
Anne Hamilton. May the Queen and Luther rest in peace!
Me singing:
Watch "Walk around Heaven" on UA-cam

Nate Brown: Yes!!!..May both their souls rest peacefully. Old school music is the best ever!!!!
pdnisbett: Yes!!!!..Most definitely!!!!
No one ever compared to Luther Vandross. The man equivalent of Aretha.

Rip King of Romantic Soul and the Queen of Soul.
Even Aretha had to appreciate the range... Wow!!!
Southcidal Music
She looked enamored with him!!! Who could blame her, really?
Well well who do we have in 2021 to compare with these two giants of music? Absolutely no-one!
Rest easy queen aretha and king luther. Never can or will be duplicated or even replicated. Songs to touch a heart for a lifetime.
Bless the heart of the sound engineer that had to mix and master Aretha’s vocals/mic on the spot! Imagine have to do that on the fly. 😅😅😅😅
Still in love with both of you!!!
I'm balling like crazy
God, do I miss him, that voice. We were lucky to have heard it.
and it seems to me that he still does not get enough credit these days. he was one of the best R&B male singers ever
Seeing Luthor live was a blessing, better than any recording. I saw him twice.
Who else came here after founding out aretha died.
Rest Easy Luther and Aretha................
i hack all day me 2
R.I.P. to The Queen 👸🏽 of Soul!😇
Me!! It's part of my mourning process, as I guess it is for many!
i hack all day . Me. Lol.
Me ! WANTED TO KNOW WHAT HEAVEN SOUNDED LIKE
Luther brought it home and Aretha killed it!
Colin Zungu totally agree
i still listen to Luther. He was very gifted.
BEAUTIFUL....SOUNDS STRAIGHT FROM HEAVEN! TWO PRECIOUS GIFTS TO US!
You all do know Aretha was in the audience and NOT slated to perform.That's the reason she ad-libbed and improvised.If you grew up in the black church, you'd know it's a very common practice, putting folks on the spot."Is sister Shirley in the house? If so, can you come up here and sing.They'd wing it by one person singing and the other person follows the melody ad-libbing.I know Luther got a good cursing out backstage, Aretha is very regimented, hates surprises and has no chill.
Exactly! The folks telling the Queen how to sing? Good luck with that.
Yeah but she loved the fact that he was singing to her, probably the one time she didn't mind, Luther was one of the greatest soul singers of all time, can't be duplicated as well as she can't be!
You nailed it. If the words were important, they could’ve done something. They weren’t, he’s already got the lyrics..just the accompaniment and those two voices the best of the best, on the same stage forever preserved here...GOLD
My God! Yes! Loving this!!!
She ended up singing at his funeral..
Two of the most gifted singers I’ve ever heard....in my 70 years. All the times they “got me through”.....times when no one else would do...truly magic. Just magic. Thank you, Luther...thank you Aretha. From the bottom of my heart of hearts...for reaching in down deep ...and touching the soul of me. 😇
How are you doing today my name is Eric
This is two of the most strongest vocalists. And so much musical respect. No words....
I love this duet performance. I can see and feel that Aretha Franklin genuinely loved singing with Luther Vandross!!
R.I.P. Aretha Franklin
No love for Luther? Lol
RIP to my idols! What a great childhood ya gave me!
Sho'nuff
Master’s Class 101.

Listening to them sing side by side, you can clearly hear the influence of Ms. Franklin on LV. Thanks for posting this. Respect and RIP to the ONLY #QueenOfSoul and to Luther Vandross.
Exactly...he does his licks n runs like her...he had dionne laid backness n cool and phrasing n arethas emotive ability and adlibs...
Yup. He absorbed all the best qualities of those singing divas...
@@catboyzee and thats the key word ABSORBED..i read the book on his life and he spent years just studying aretha dionne and diana...only if this era could understand...in order to move something forward u gotta go back and do ya homework
Yes he always said he was an Arethacologist! And I def hear the vocal influences!
Aretha’s “Jump To IT” album (1982) produced by LV, is probably her best LP since her 60’s work. Stilll listenable more than 30 years later!!!
Agreed
Vandross is the voice
Im saving this cos its gona get rinsed.... first time hearing one of my favourite songs with Aretha sharing vocals...magical.🔥❤🔥❤😖❤
This an example of black magic
Deon blue : yes!
Jennifer Yearwood : Ahhh hahaha! Yeah, you’re right. 😂
Best R&B right here
Buongiorno🇮🇹😘🙏🤳🖐️
Yes!!!!!
God given talent . Phenomenal 💙 ❤
We lost Luther way too young!! Fly high Re and Luther ❤
I am glad I got the pleasure of seeing Luther in concert. One of the best concerts ever, R.I.P. Luther!
If I could go back in time and go to one concert that I have not been to, it would be one of his. I regret to this day not trying to attend one of his. His life was cut too short
