      (THIS is gonna be long and could have been better written, but I am doing it from the heart in honor of the best ballader of my lifetime).
      Luther....Vandross...just the name gives me goosebumps to this very day.
      Many times, I wonder what really becomes of all of that wonderful talent after they go on to the other side of the veil. I imagine that they are singing in THE Heavenly Choir, tirelessly, joyfully. My understanding is that we are actually the "energy," an individual spark of light from the Source (known as God) Who *animates* the body; we are not the body itself. In other words, it's like an automobile and driver; as the Spirit Being, we are the "driver" of the vehicle. Nutshell: we are Eternal Spiritual Beings having "temporary" human experiences in bodies, temporarily. Science proves that "energy" can not be destroyed, but my question is: where does it go after being encapsulated and then released from the body?
      Well, I'm NOT in a hurry to find out right at this moment. I trust that God knows better than I and I'll let THAT suffice...
      About Luther:
      He was one of those singers who'd record and release a CD and I'd buy it without having to preview it; I *knew* the quality was beyond comparison and was NOT disappointed. He, Stevie Wonder, Peabo Bryson, Donny Hathaway, Glenn Jones, Howard Hewitt, George Benson, Jeffrey Osborne, Smokey Robinson, Rick James, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye and even Nat King Cole as well as the lead singers of Heat Wave, Earth, Wind & Fire, Confukshun, T-Connection, the Dells, the Delphonics, the Spinners, the Blue Notes, the Stylistics, the Chi-lites and literally an host of others....who inspired me to sing (Baritone/Tenor) with confidence as I sang in high-school and college choirs and musical productions. Luther was the one that I "practiced with" the most.
      I thank God that I was able to see him in concert once, headlining with Anita Baker when they were at the Rosemont Horizon (a few minutes away from Chicago O'Hara International Airport). It was phenomenal!!! All that I can say is thank you to both of them for giving one of the best highlights of my life.
      Luther, I pray that you have been enveloped in God's love and that you *are* singing in that Heavenly choir with that incredible voice. T.y. and rest in power, big brutha.....

    He kills this. It's the video you show someone when you're trying to explain what a real soul music performance looks like.
    The crowd was silent. Listening. Hanging on every word. Until they weren't. And they cheered for the greatness.
    You cried, you cheered, you waited on him, you let him lead you to the promised land.

      👍 I agree with you, but also believe that what you said is true for most talented artists back in those days. They showed a lot more respect for their peers, audience, band mates - and in general. SO many of the current 🌟 artists today perform in jeans, t-shirts, sweats, tat’s all over their body, etc. - which imo doesn’t mean they aren’t talented, but just not caring.

      You missed the performance of a lifetime if you never saw Luther live. Oh my goodness. I saw him live in Barbados in the early 2000s.

    I have a very hard time over him and Sam Cooke, two of the greatest vocalist to ever sing!
