That was the power of Luther, even his records made you lose yourself and imagine that he was singing to you. RIP LUTHER.❤❤❤
Baybay!!! Let Luther take over❣️
This and Never Too Much are my 2 favorite songs by Luther.
The best and most sexiest version of this song....PERIOD!!!!!!
This is an edited version of the song. If you get the opportunity have a look at Luther singing his full version of Superstar 'Live at Wembley' from 1989, it's on UA-cam. I was at the concert, and his performance was spellbinding, not just his own vocals but also the interaction with his amazing backing singers ❤🇬🇧

A super reaction reaction 🦸🏾♂⭐! I believe this performance is from 19th NAACP Image Awards Performance in 1987. You reacted to the Carpenters version of this song before. This song is about music industry groupies. I see 👁👁 that you have reacted to Luther Vandross before: A House Is Not A Home- Live, Here And Now, Endless Love- Live, The Christmas Song and Never Too Much. Superstar was released as the third single from Luther Vandross' 1983 album: Busy Body. It was written by Bonnie Bramlett and Leon Russell. It was produced by Luther Vandross and Larkin Arnold. The song reached #5 on the R&B chart and #87 on the Hot 100.
Rita Coolidge came up with the song idea, based on observing the relationships of female groupies with rock stars in the late 1960s. In its first recorded incarnation, the song was called "Groupie (Superstar)", and was released in December 1969 as the B-side of the Delaney & Bonnie single: "Comin' Home". Released by Atco Records in the United States and Atlantic Records in the rest of the world, the full credit on the single was "Delaney & Bonnie and Friends featuring Eric Clapton". "Comin' Home" reached number 84 on the US pop singles chart, although it achieved a peak of sixteen on the UK Singles Chart.
Leon Russell and Bonnie Bramlett wrote this song, which is about a woman who falls for a Rock star, has a tryst with him, but then in a bout of delusion awaits his return, apparently falling for it when he said he loved her. The word "Groupie" was just entering the lexicon when they wrote this song in 1969. Rolling Stone popularized it when they titled the cover story of their February 15, 1969 issue "The Groupies And Other Girls." Groupies were often romanticized and admired for their style and fashion, but they were also at times denigrated as rock star playthings with a loose grip on reality, which is how they are portrayed in this song.
The original version of the song: "Superstar", finally surfaced in 1972, when the album: D&B Together, was released, shortly before Delaney & Bonnie's marriage and collaboration ended. That version was also included as a bonus track on a 2006 reissue of the 1970 album: Eric Clapton. Bonnie Bramlett later rerecorded the song on her 2002 solo album: I'm Still the Same. Using just the title: "Superstar", she rendered it as a very slow, piano-based torch song.
In the early 1980s, Luther Vandross had the song: "Superstar", in his stage act, sometimes in a rendition that stretched to 12 minutes, with vocal interpolations and an interpretive dancer. Luther Vandross then recorded "Superstar" in 1983 in a slower, more Soulful fashion, as part of a medley with Stevie Wonder's song: "Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)", on his 1983 album: Busy Body.
