Lyrics:
[Chorus]
Give me the reason to want you back
And why should I love you again
Do you know
Tell me how, how to forgive and forget
Give me the reason to love you now
It's been a mighty long time
And the love that used to be
Ended the day you walked out
Never knew I'd ever be
Standing alone and outside
With no one to love
#LutherVandross #GiveMeTheReason #RnB #Soul
Still listening to Luther in 2024 and will continue until I meet him.
Love this 🥲
He died 2005 m8
I second that 🙂
No one has a voice like him, NO ONE.
@@samanthadeer9458 And?
Still listening in 2024 brilliant Luther, no one like him ❤ ❤ ❤
I spent my whole childhood bored of this song , I shared a bedroom with my big sis who played it constantly, I'd give anything to hear her play it again, she passed in march .
I miss u everyday sis🥺
Sorry to hear of her passing. I too shared a room with my big sister who played luther's album alot. This one grew on me. Love it. Don't make them like this no more.
@@MZ-jn1xh they really don't xx
My deepest condolences 🙏🏽🕊
@@kacey5324 thanks so much xx
Sorry for your loss! Music can really bring back alot of good memories.
Seeing this literally made me cry because nobody makes music like this anymore. The harmonies and melodies are amazing. I miss this time in my life.
I mean, no one sings like Luther Vandross. That voice was 1 of 1.
Yes!!!!!
Ditto
I figured this was pretty recent. Everything sucks 😂
Me too I bald LIKE a. As baby miss luther..I miss a life..everyone is gone..😟😢🙏❤✨
Who still listening in 2023 🎶🎶🎼🎼🎼🎼🎵🎵🎵🎤🎤
2024 ❤
2024 ❤
March 2024 ❤️ been humming this all day. Don't kno why as I ain't heard it for ages... Glad I was alive in these times.
Sorely missed. Died far too young. Rest easy Luther ❤
Oh hey 👋🏽 I'm not the only one who was called to listen to this classic today! 🥰
This makes modern music look absolutely crap
The 1980’s were a pretty unique time in music history.
Because of the music, there was more love in the world 🌎
Yeah @@mariecampbell3373
Best I miss it. Radio is ...... now
Better times better people
RIP 🪦 Michael Jackson ,Prince 🤴🏻, Luther Vandross, George Michael, Glenn Frey, and David Bowie
One of the greatest voices ever to do it.
RIP Luther Vandross

He is perfect

@@coreyhendricks9490 I've been listening to him all day on CDs!
@@amriaye7593 That's amazing, the brilliance of a legend to listen to
My son asked me DAD why do you keep listening to this song.. I just gave him a stare and said you will never understand Son...
Until you grow up
I was born '97 and thank my parents every day for blasting this kinda music and more out when I was a kid. I can't get enough as an adult. Music back then was just elite, is still elite. 🔥
You got that right!!!
He sings this so well, you forget that it isn't a love song. The lyrics are actually sad.
Luther's voice was so effortless!! He just opened his mouth and.. WOW!!!
Christina Thompson
My wife is like that, exactly

It’s something about Luther and Whitney that make me sad I miss them so much! This is when music had a purpose. God can we have Luther, Whitney, Prince, Michael back
May 25/2020
Listening in response to someone's request of me
I agree with you. All 4 of them were talented singers that should still be here singing today.
Miss them too when music had meaning oh God
We were lucky to have them.
The Kidd: Sadly, commercially or even demographically Luther wasn't in the same league as Whitney, Prince or Michael Jackson. But vocally he sure was way above all of them.
Undeniably one of the best voices of all time RIP Luther
Lisa fisher backing is just incredible
💯three of my precious kids are in our world with Luther Vandross songs playing in the background. Yes three... thanking our Father for my son's and daughters who have given their parents 10 grandchildren total.Yes being a mother is a privilege and honor from our Father's 💕
May our sons and daughters continue in God's love and provisions for all the days of our lives as our good Lord is allowing us to live, breathe and enjoy his company as well as with our family and friends. IJNWP the Lords blessings on us all.

Ruthless People, in case anybody wanted to know the title of this movie
He say "what's there to say when there's not much to talk about" & he also say " do you know how to forgive & forget" Wooooow that's heavy!!! Smmfh!! 2019-2020 anybody?
Who else is rocking this classic in 2020 👌
Im 30 I remember my mom listening to this when i child ..good old days.. 😎👍
🙋🏼♀️
Me
Forever ❤️

Thank you, Google for honoring Luther Vandross with your Google Doodle today on his 70th birthday. Google can you make a large donation to redoing this video in honor of Luther Vandross, his style, and his class because this video does not do the man justice.
Miss you luther so much, my mum was brought up with your music, rest in peace xxxx 😂❤😂❤😢
THIS is what someone with natural singing talent sounds like. No Auto-Tune, no electronic enhancement, nothing. Just raw, original talent unlike a majority of so called singers today. Luther Vandross didn't have swag; he had CLASS. There will never be another like him.
Absolutely , I have seen Luther at least four times in concert . This Legend sound the same as he does on vinyl if not better . God I loved this man voice .
Something we'll NEVER AGAIN experience in this lifetime
More than talent it's called a GIFT...most people nowadays totally forgot that back in the day only a few voice gifted people were pushed up to front and sing and entertain, because it was perceived by the public in general that only they could do it better than anyone...NO music TV reality shows full of mediocre wannabe's!...
Thst is s fact n i just tuned in im only 30 n i feel like he got alot of ppl beat n he is very under rated
No one can sing like u luther
Oh Luther.. How magnificent you were....
Nina Anthonijsz He still is. Music never dies.
+Nina Anthonijsz A "Genuis," Baby! :/
It`s the words to this song that hit me to my core when this song came out. I had feelings for a girl and she knew i was a good guy. But she chose the other guy in which he broke her heart. But my heart was broken by her, and she wanted me and i couldnt see myself with her after the fact. Like the song said Give me the reason to want you back. I remember this song in the summer of 1986, I was 16 years old about to be 17 lol. Music was so good for me during the 60`s, 70`s ,80`s, and 90`s ( The soundtrack to my life.). All I listen to is old school music. So I agree Nina, Luther was magnificent.
1969Makaveli , I agree 100%. I too was 16 years old. we had dreams, big ideas and our whole lives ahead of us. music said who we were, how we felt and what we wanted out of life. there was a song for everything we was going through.
U already kno
When this came out it was like a new level of R&B. Luther had done the impossible. He topped himself.
Yeah I know
Lisa Fischer's background vocals ❤️ R.I.P. Luther.
I LOVE THIS SONG SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! LUTHER'S VOICE WAS PURE SILK AND SATIN, WOW!!!!!
Christopher Eunice none like him .. rest in peace
Christopher Eunice none like him
Christopher Eunice your beautiful. I want you.
Christopher Eunice rasheedakeith
yes..grüsse aus berlin
Crazy how music can put you in a frame of mind you were in when you were a child years later....powerful! Gimme the reason!! Luther rest easy king unmatched
Nostalgia for sure!!!
Exactly what I'm feeling now listening to this.
This takes me back to 1986
So true
takes me back to when i was about 5 my mom and dad was so in love
thanking God for a happy home and good music like this ❤️
You got that right!!!
THIS IS 1 OF MY FAVORITE SONGS BY LEGENDARY
LUTHER VANDROSS
🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎵🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵
One of the greatest ever voices in soul music. I grew up listening to my mother play his albums all the time. Along with Anita Baker. Legendary.
Love luther Anita Baker and Teddy xxx
He's the only guy that can take depression off my mind
Listen to him Everyday then that's a great thing
India S. ♥️
He's an angel
I be thinking the same thing
Totally agree, I remember the day he died they announced it in Dublin Airport it took everything in me to hold back those tears🇮🇪💔😢
Luther had the thee most beautiful smile!!! 😔❤
I saw a post on reddit calling him "The man with the Velvet voice!" And I was like lemmi play you a song you'll definitely feel the velvety smoothness in his voice!
Probably one of Luther's best songs. And Secret Lover..
Luther, he was like a security blanket. He made you feel safe and warm.
His name shoud have been "SNUGGLY VANDROSS"................
Im convinced the 80's and 90's were pretty much the golden age of music
"do you know how to forgive and forget" ?
Not all of the 90s. It's 70s to mid 90s, IMO.
@I Like it Hardcore Tv I would have to agree.
And the 70's
🎶🎼🎵🎤Yall know da vibes!! 2024 and we still rockin to this!! RIH Luther🙏🏽
Still giving me goosebumps in 2022❤️❤️🎶🎶
Right in here now
Miss him but very true 😭 song real life s it over for good
Me too in 2023
Still with chills and a tear😢
2024 ❤
2019 and still loving his music. He's my all time favourite male vocalist.
I consider him the Greatest Artists of all times.
Likewise!
Likewise
Mine TOO.
Mine too!😁 I sometimes do karaoke of him🎤😃
music like this makes me think of riding with my family in the backseat in the 90s. I miss feeling that safe and so much future ahead.
My childhood was exactly the same. So nice to see this is the top comment.
Mercedes Carter omg, you too??!!! that's the exact same feeling I get.. I could listen to Luther all day and Whitney..
I know right and dad driving putting in the music and mom in the front seat. I agree great times indeed.
Lateshia Childs l
Mercedes Carter yes
Nothing screams "80s" more than Judge Reinhold.
Lol
Truest statement
Yep spot on!
So true, in every second comedy movie released in the 80s never the main actor but the one everyone remembers legend
❤ ❤ 2023. For EVER in MY Playlist
RIP. Luther. Gone but NEVER. Forgotten. ❤ ❤
The 80's were a blast.
lol, saw you on another 80's video.. yup i always talk about the 80's.. the music, movies, arcades, etc..goodtimes
I can make it better Luther Van Dross
ARCADES, those were the days.
I love 80s and 90s and can't forget the 70s they had some great music too.
good luck with that smh
Still can't believe this man is not here !! The best
Instant feel good music! Especially if you remember the 80's n 90's.
Where do we even start?? That beautiful voice, face, smile no words this man was...is still STUNNING ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Luther Vandross was so handsome and incredibly talented. 😍😥
how grate is this song I love it
The song "Give Me The Reason" was featured in the 1986 soundtrack, "Ruthless People."
Alden R. Davis Thank you...I was wondering what was the name of the movie this song appeared on
Alden R. Davis I was just about to ask the name of the movie. I forgot. Fun times.
Can I have the movie of Ruthless People full movie on UA-cam
Alden R. Davis i remember my parents took me to see this in theaters when I was only 4
And used for Luther Vandross' Give Me The Reason album, too, later that year.
The Ruthless People!
How can you not reminisce when listening to music like this...
An American Legend
His voice is sooooo nostalgic. It takes you back to a time where life was good. Thanks Luther
Love you always ❤
Wanted to write it down
Give Me The Reason is my favorite 80's Album from Luther Vandross! Every song is a hit!
RUTHLESS PEOPLE! WHAT A GREAT MOVIE.
Thank you! I couldn't remember the name of this movie
@@Pootahman1028You're Welcome.
Ok ok I don't know why I thought it was war of the rose's
Grew up to Luther Vandross, this song my mother used to constantly play on the record player all the time while dressing me for kindergarten. We also used to listen to this while visiting family in my mother's old neighborhood in the South side of Chicago
This man has one voice with no comparison ! I miss you so much😇
Vanessa Edwards he was special a one off
Joe is next
nobody even comes close
80's R&B...BEST era for music...back when everything was so simple and just a better time...Just listen to Luther's voice with Lisa Fischer background vocals...BEST ERA PERIOD 80's
Awww good old Luther sad he is no longer here bless him
Haha this video with the "special" effects. Bloody brilliantly.
Top quality haha. If you look closely you can tell its from the 80s 😂
@jdslyman great word for it :)
It was considered "cutting edge" in it's day.
His background singers tho❤️
I still can't believe Luther Vandross is gone, He will always be in our hearts he is irreplaceable there will never be another singer like him, Because no other singer will be like he was.
Unlike NCR that lives forever.
Personally i can't wait to get to heaven. ALL the greats are there... only dross left down here now...
Who else is rocking to this in 2018?
cryospiral Here!
Me 🙋🏽♀️
Me! Luther's voice is forever gold.
I am
and always will
Only Loofa could sing a song of heartbreak with such a warming smile
Loofa 😂😂😂😂 yes suh!!!!
Only Loofa yasss😂😂😂
Lord he was adorable.
Yo is that Danny devito
How can anybody not like this music?! It`s so charming and easy on the ears, just listening to it fills me with a warm glow
+Kenneth Jefferson You couldn't have said It better, everything was more soulful and funky in the 80's.
But as you know the style always creapes back In.
+Bill Proud Remember this was the 80s. Artists were real. Not like the half naked shit the music industry churn out today
This was amazing , that's whats so amassing about Luther even though It was love soul music It was still dance able cus It had a % of jazz and funk In It, Decent underground soul Is available as you know but It doesn't hit the commercial charts anymore, most the soul singers now in the commercial charts sound like Micky and miny mouse cus they are to young, but It's coming back slowly,I just hope It gets as good as It was In the 80's
+Bill Proud For me it's not his best but it's still good. The man was massively talented, voice like liquid honey, brilliant songwriter and he looked very very gorgeous in this but apparently he was not happy. They don't make them like him anymore.
some people are just plain stupid.
Hearing this always remind me of my mom and godmothers on their Friday nights after their long work week, playing music, sipping, cooking and having a great time in the front yard ❤❤❤❤😢
What a voice, fantastic singer, gone too soon, ❤️
Anyone who doesn't love Luther. You're on my prayer list.
Just such a happy face, a joyful smile….and a MASSIVE TALENT! Love him 🌹
Just a timeless song,can somebody please take me back to the mid-eighties in a time machine?
Please stop by and pick me up, too❤
This song and “Stop to Love” sound very similar
Sadly class has died
Here in 2018, RIP Luther Vandross!!!
This song brings back so many memories of my childhood! Music like this is incomparable! RIH Luther😢
Beautiful song... Gets better the older i get ❤️
Best Luther song? Yes.
So glad I got to experience the 80's and 90's. It was a magical time, looking back it seems unreal. People talked to each other, you had friends who cared, the clothes were outrageous, singing and dancing in the streets, feeling free and that it would never end. I feel sad for this last generation.
Me, too❤❤❤❤
Miss you Luther!! Timeless. Voice from the heavens. ❤️❤️❤️
For the heavens came to earth when he sang.
If you were born from 1982 and Forward. Luther Vandross had something to do with you existing.
RIP SIR...SERIOUSLY MISSED
Heard Luther in concert twice. Would leave the concerts playing a cd of the songs I just heard. He was so amazing
Luther remains a G.O.A.T where he is. May his soul continue to rest in peace
So...Danny DeVito's has been bold/bolding. Longer then I've been alive!😮🤯 That's a strong game😎
Happy Heavenly Birthday Luther
2022 almost 2023 and still freaking awesomeness!!!! I love you Luther Vandross. Miss you brother. Thanks so much for the joy and memories. Made me cry. I freaking love it. 😎
Velvet voice
Rest in peace Luther Vandross.
This album played as me and my two sisters cleaned up the house on Saturday morning.....oh the memories
On Repeat.
On Repeat everyday for me because it's a classic....
+barry elms True.
And so am I !!!
Yep
My God, thank for the time you shared this man with us ❤
Wow i was like 15 when this came out! memories memories.
How cool is Vandross? Nothing compares to that voice. Wow! Spent my younger years listenen to Luther all the time. Oprah used to refer to it as Lutherizing. Wow profound! No one close to him
Still here in 2023............❤️
Luther Vandross, HE WAS THE BLACK PAVAROTTI ! WELL SAID ! Miss you Luther, and your Beautiful talent
And the hits just coming for luther.r.i.p.you left your mark in a lot of lives.r.i.p.jan2022.
Hard to believe this only peaked somewhere in the 50s on the billboard hot 100. Should have at least been a top 15 or top 10.
I wish they could go back and rate it now he is the cream of the crop. His lyrics are so heartfelt, we seldom get that anymore
Lisa Fischer is slaying those background vocals
Joosey Loosey didn't know that she sung background vocals 👏🤗✌️✊
Wow! Didn't know that! ❤
I speaks volumes when he had her as a background singer and helped produce her first album. He really believed in her and it paid off.
She was one of his background singers.
Especially that high note baaaaaaaaaaaby
