Luther Vandross.......Patti Labelle. FOUR WORDS. Any individual who is educated in ANY way on the finer aspects of truly great R&B/SOUL......is aware of the significance of those 4 words. Luther & Patti were 2 of the most amazingly gifted vocalists of any generation that has existed.....past or present. It would take an entire separate comment to properly express how much I love & miss the talent of Mr.Vandross. I wish his spirit eternal peace in God's love. Happy Thanksgiving & God bless.
O...M...G...I am speechless!! This is the best rendition duet of Only for One Night Everrrrrr!!! I loveee it and they turned it out!! Patti couldn't contain herself and as we all know these 2 could Neverrr outstage each other as they are equally yoked....So naturally Luther Brought it as she asked for it!!! I love these two...Wish they had done more duets together because they turned this one out. Rewind to 3:27 like 20 times and lmboooo! Definietly Made my night!!!!!
Oh, they were showing out that night..lol.. I love these two singers. They are amazing vocalists and were really good friends. If you watch them over the years you can see the bond and growth between both of these artists and what a beautiful site it is to see. Both of them are true legends and deservers of the right to be called so. We miss and love you Luther...and Patti....we just love you......xoxo
...poor Luther, gone too soon, what a shame for such a magnifique singer of that class; I miss him, it's a pain each time I hear his voice, remember when he used to lead Change band, what a time, good times we had there...
When Patti's feet went up in the air I was hollerin'!! LOL I would have done the same thing if Luther sang like that to me. They were such great friends. This was a beautiful duet. No competition, just beautiful legends sharing their gifts and having a good time.
(cont'd) from last comment: When viewing the later stages of the video, it becomes more and more apparant that there is no attempted takeover by Ms. LaBelle, but on the contrary, she does nothing short of surrendering and bowing down to this Industry Legend, and it doesn't take much to see that, as Patti helplessly falls to the feet of LV....BTW, just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions! Lol. R.I.P. Mr. Vandross, as you are truly missed! May God be blessing you as we speak!
Thanks for sharing. Just found this astounding performance today. I just can't seem to stop watching it. They just don't perform like this today. Seems like just Fantasia & a few others can move you with their singing today. Luther truly was a special soul with such an amazing voice. I miss hearing him sing. Thankful I grew up to amazing singers like this in the 80s & 90s. So amazing.!! Bravo!!
Your right...I just actually listened to this...it is different...same song though...they did the song on her TV special in like 87ish...the 80s version is off the chain..Patty's hair was way way figfetent then....she leads the song...he kills it...
I still have this on vhs when it first came on. It was part of a Soul Train special. I have loads of videos & performances, but I dont know how to transfer them to dvd. If someone knows, send me a message. Thanks.
@Lilboybloo2, I totally agree. Michael wasnt just best dancer. To me, Michael was and always will be the greatest entertainer PERIOD, But Luther had THAT VOICE!
Agree no, Luther is in love with 'love' and the emotion, however, check out Patti performing with Bobby Womack who saved her career, now those two had chemistry - Bobby said performing with her made him want to make love! :)
@@patgorden5002 My comment was 4 years ago, I do not know what you are mumbling on about. Luther was gay, yes, I am aware being a fan for 30 years. He also loved the concept of love and had many female friends. My point about Patti and Bobby Womack stands... he gave her career a boost with original songs and the limelight to perform them when she needed it most. Have a nice day.
No offense, but I think your interpretation of what you'd perceived to have gone down, relative to this duet, is, in my opinion, the complete opposite to what actually and factually happened. Granted, Patti is an over-the-top type of performer, and her vocal delivery in this particular performance, was no exception to the rule. However, I have a hard time buying in to your insinuation that she was, as she usually does, trying to out shine Luther in this collaboration. (cont'd)
Seeing and hearing this video gave me chills.....Luther and Patti.....Enough said......Luther is a talent that is missed dearly.....

Don't sleep on her! She has the ones that a LOT of people have NEVER seen.
Patti loved Luther and was so devastated when he passed away...lovely to see them together here.
I'm impressed how they can create a performance that is so musical and have fun at the same time.
Str8 clowning!!! two of the best voices ever! How can you go wrong?
Now, THAT'S real R&B/Soul singing!
I remember watching this years back. Classic stuff.

who in their right mind would dislike this?
Patti know she can put on a show. I've seen her live twice. Both times were amazing!
Luther Vandross started and was the President of the Patti Labelle Fan Club
Luther has to be the best singer ever. Damn the man has some singing skills!

The best Male and Female singers of all times. To bad they didn' make more songs.
You two whould never forgotten and I know that God has him and keep Patti safe..

Luther is a great example that God loves us..

Just wonderful! I haven't heard Luther's voice in years! These WERE the good ol' days! Thank you very much for posting!
Such great performance. Here she is mid 50's and still freakin beautiful. She reminds me of Rudy from the Cosby show.
AMAZING PERFORMANCE LUTHER AND PATTI LABELLE!! R.I.P. LUTHER!!!
Those two were made for each other
This is one fabulous duet!! Miss you Lither ♥️
When Patti's feet went up in the air I was hollerin'!! LOL I would have done the same thing if Luther sang like that to me.
They were such great friends. This was a beautiful duet. No competition, just beautiful legends sharing their gifts and having a good time.
I miss him so much...what a cool dude...he loved every single person he sang with...total Yin/Yang dude...I gotta stop now...
one of the greatest singers to ever walk if not the greatest.
Two legends...and the way she says his name 😍😍😍

Ditto for me!

Two incredible talents on one stage.

at 2:58 both hit their signature notes priceless love how they did that
amazing totally amazing now this is real music . How good was Luther ? Incredible
what a powerhouse of talent
I wish we could have seen the entire thing. I wonder how? That part at the end was too cute!!
I thank you for uploading the full verison of this.
how the hell does this just end like that?!?!?!?!?!?!?
They had great chemistry because they were very very good friends in real life. Patti sung at his funeral at the request of Luther's mother.
onne of my female fav singerz with one of my favorite male singer :)
They are into this song.
In the first few seconds of the vid she looks in love with him lol. Hes a good lookin guy and with that voice can u blame her ;)? I love this song.
REAL talent
Patti and luther sound really good together, its a different combination but i think it works a little
love this
Luther better be feeding Patti the words!
This is incomplete too!!!! But I LIVE nonetheless.
REAL MUSIC!!!
Awesome!
Love it : >
REST IN PEACE LUTHER VANDROSS.
Epic!!! If your a livin angel on earth what do you become after death? R.I.P Luther:))
SAUDADES LUTHER TE AMOOOOOO
Lmao, love this analysis.
both amazing..i love patti for laying down like that lol
Yes he did,saw him live on the "Give Me The Reason" Tour and he was thin.
no words.
this is still incomplete!
I still have this on vhs when it first came on. It was part of a Soul Train special. I have loads of videos & performances, but I dont know how to transfer them to dvd. If someone knows, send me a message. Thanks.
yessss
This was from the 80's Patti labelle had q tv special...Cindy lauper killed on this show tooo
this would be priceless if the volume wasnt so low.
so refined.
@Streamline09 ...YES!!!
I miss Luther! :(
Thats what I'm talkin bout!!
they would make u think they r in love.
@3:14 Luther "Laid Patti down" LOL
LUTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@tom11zz884 hell yeah!
@Lilboybloo2, I totally agree. Michael wasnt just best dancer. To me, Michael was and always will be the greatest entertainer PERIOD, But Luther had THAT VOICE!
Don LMFAO (but TRU)
& Patti got a FREEB off look @ 3:40 His Man Jumped
April 20 1951-July 1 2005
King Of R&B.......
@MickeyLove01 4 years.sorry.he was the greatest male singer of all time
@LilBoyBloo2 Female version(LOL):
Patti = Singing
Janet = Dancing
I aways wonder why every other year he would lose and gain weight. In 2002 he was huge and he became thin again in 2004. He was an awesome performer.
@chesneysimon No disrespect to Michael Jackson, but Luther was the king of singing, and if Michael was alive he would agree.
hot!! i mean their voice. lol
LOL Too funny
Terrible, just terrible how they showed out! LOL! Go Patti, RIP Luther!!!!
Yeah, but what's wrong with the sound levels??
Gone patti lol...
I hope they at least made out once
uh no.
Agree no, Luther is in love with 'love' and the emotion, however, check out Patti performing with Bobby Womack who saved her career, now those two had chemistry - Bobby said performing with her made him want to make love! :)
Patti LaBelle saved her own career! Trying to throw shade and didn't throw it right! 🤣😂🤣
Believe me that is not going to happen lol

What was this concert name?
