Had the great fortune of seeing Luther perform at Wembley, his vocal ability soared in all its majesty performing live without the restrictions of a studio recording. One of the greatest vocalists of his time and a privilege to witness his ability to make his performance appear effortless. His passing was a major loss to the music world. RIP Luther Vandross.❤
Me too! The man was so brilliant at doing cover versions of other people`s Songs. This was originally done by Dusty Springfield and it was one of many songs from The Burt Bacharach/Hal David Catalogue. He also got his start in a Gospel Choir who were on the First Episode of Sesame Street in 1969 and he also made his bones singing Backup for David Bowie on Fame, not the Irene Cara Song. He also made folks First Dance as Man & Wife so romantic with Here and Now and he bought alot of "Babies" into the world.
Also to let you know that Wembley is the most powerful place to play. From Michael Jackson (RIP), Elton John and Tina Turner. It was also the place where They Had The Concert for Princess Diana which was a posthumous Birthday Celebration.
His voice gives me chills. He died way way too soon. I remember we had tickets to his concert in Detroit and were so disappointed we didn’t get to see him due to his failing health. Sadly, he passed away not long after that. R.I.P. Luther. 💔🙏
I seen Luther Vandross about 4 times in my lifetime and never was disappointed. The artists back then sounded just like the recordings no enhancements. I loved Luther every since his “Never too Much” album. There will never be another Luther and I was blessed to be so young to experience some of the best music in this era.
I seen Luther just about the same amount of time....I think the first time I saw him was the Never too much album....in the early 80's. The last time I seen him was probably in 1987.....🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Listening to Luther is like being transported into a beautiful dream. It's subjective as to who has the most beautiful voice but in my opinion it's Luther. This is my favorite version of this song.
Luther was the buttah-man! You can just melt into his voice and songs.. he was wonderful and I hate he has passed. Music could use a current influence from this master class artist!
I saw him do this song at NJ Art Center and my wife lost her mind. The ladies were screaming like you would not believe!!! I miss him saw much….rest in peace😢
Luther was the greatest soul singer ever there has never been another soul singer like him since he past. I really don't think anyone will ever match him truly one of a kind.
Your generation missed out on a lot of good singers! I was so in love with this man. And so so sad, when he died, at the young age of 53, of a stroke! I still cry, when I hear his songs!
This was that dude back in the day. He carried me from my mid-teens, all the way until he passed. What a gift to the world. Two other songs (out of many) that I think you'll like is Wait for Love, and So Amazing. Oh yeah, he's got some really cool upbeat songs too. Bad Boy (having a party) is one my favorites.
What you mean! This is the king of music!! I missed this king and stilled listening today’s!! One love for the king and you guys! Keep going with show!! Beautiful couple!!
oh you guys are on a big roll today !! I love it and Luther has always been one of my all time favorites ! Goosebumps all over the place- Come on guys this deserves well over a thousand likes !!!
I was lucky enough to be at this concert and WOW CAN THIS MAN SING . Definitely the best male vocalist ever. Thank you Luther I am 60 now and this song brings back so many happy memories. I wish you all could see him sing this live what a privilege to have seen him live twice RIP LUTHER LEGEND WHAT A LOSS
I've had the honor of seeing him live. There's nothing like it. His voice is so amazing and when you're in the same room with him, it feels like a dream.
Luther Has Hits On Top Of Hits! One Of The Greatest Balladeers & Vocalists Ever! He performed this song in a mesmerizing tribute to Dionne Warwick in 1988 I believe. Please react to Luther's " Because It's Really Love", " Love Won't Let Me Wait", a Major Harris remake. Enjoyed this reaction guys! ❤️
That echo effect in the beginning of the song was courtesy of his soundman. It was just on only at the beginning. He had his own sound crew and everything had to be perfect or he'll get on your case! Still, he was one of the greatest male vocalists of our generation.
@@themajicman745 Just an elite 5, because if I add Jackie, why not David Ruffin, if I add Teddy, why, not Freddie Jackson, if I add Peobo, why not Jeffery Osbourne. etc. etc. lol
I’m old enough to remember when “Never Too Much” was released. He appeared on Soul Train for the first time and sang this. The dancers were awestruck because rarely did performers sing live. Especially solos and brought the house down. Awesome
I had the pleasure of seeing Luther in concert several times and boy did he give a hell of a performance!!! You got your money’s worth and more! I would always tell my husband honey let’s go get Lutherized! lol RIP Luther Vandross!
It just bought warmth to my heart watching you two watching a one of a kind, Luther was in a league all by himself. I was blessed to go to one of his concerts when I was in High School; the experience of watching and hearing his voice was just phenomenal, so happy to see that you both appreciate listening to good music. Thank you for what you do.
The best part of the song is when he says, say you gonna be are you gonna be well well well well. He didn’t do that part. By the way. I was surprised to find that this is a cover of Dionne Warwick’s song.
This is one of my favourite songs in the world and for me there's only one person to sing it and that's Luther Vandross. He had master control over that beautiful voice... Dionne Warwick recorded it in 1964 and enjoyed modest success with it. Luther comes along 17 years later and sings it his way and it flies off the charts. 54 was way too young to be taken from us ❤💜❤
Oh my goodness you guys that was phenomenal! That gave my goosebumps goosebumps! I always really enjoyed Luther but I had never heard him perform live like that, wow, he is a superstar. His voice reminds me a little bit of George Benson, I would sometimes get their songs mixed up back in the day. I love it when men sing their hearts out like that. It is absolutely beautiful.
Best male vocalist to ever exist, one of the first songs I heard of his was superstar and after that I knew I just listen to one of the most timeless artist ever RIP Luther❤️
Omg! Twenty years later, Luther's voice still gives me chills and goose bumps. Saw Luther in concert with Patty Labelle what can I say ultimate singer. R.I.P Luther Vandros.❤❤❤❤❤
He’s the best singer I’ve ever heard. If you love this songs, listen to these 3 songs; Dance with my father, I’d rather and By me a rose. He touches my heart forever! Love listening to old songs with you both. To see your reactions is priceless!😂
My favorite UA-cam version of this is the NAACP Image tribute to Dionne Warwick. I see some of your listeners agree with me and some don't. I think you need to see that version, with Dionne in the audience, clearly enjoying Luther's performance. He really has the females in the audience swooning.
Loved you two's reactions! Am guessing you're too young to have seen him live, but I was at that concert in Wembley Stadium, stunning, he was there for 7 nights straight, sold out every show, and every show was different! (Yes, went to every one!)
Literally the BEST male singer EVER. He is his own LANE. RIP Luther. 🙏🏽👊🏽👍🏽❤️
I agree. 💯% his voice is so smoooooth!!💞💕 Pleasing to the ear, to the Soul!! 🥰 💫
The best version of this awesome cover by Luther was the one he did at the NAACP Awards in honor of Dionne Warwick who originally did this gem.
Agreed! And the vocal mix is much better.
Brook Benton recorded it about the same time as Dionne Warwick. Both hers and his recordings rose in the charts at the same time.
You are correct! He blew the doors off the house, & LUTHERed it up, when he sang to Dionne.
He wasn’t just a good singer, he was a good performer. He had charm and charisma. He had such control of his voice that few people have.
There will only be ONE Luther Vandross👉🆗
💯 & HE WAS AN AMAZING 🎙 👏👏
Absolutely point blank period.
Ain't nobody Sangin like this anymore.
FACTS!!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖😊💖💖💖💖💖
May his soul Rest in Peace.

Didn't Denise Williams copy this also, the woman that song " Let's Hear It For The Boys "
Saw him here in the U.S. in the late 90s. I've been to a lot of concerts, and it was one of the best concerts EVER!
Not many things can make me smile and shed a tear at the same time like music. Especially this mans voice
Yes!!!
AMEN TOO THAT!
Yes!
FACTS!!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖😁💖💖💖💖💖
His voice gives me chills. He died way way too soon. I remember we had tickets to his concert in Detroit and were so disappointed we didn’t get to see him due to his failing health. Sadly, he passed away not long after that. R.I.P. Luther. 💔🙏
To me Luther Vandross is the best of the best! Not one single song he sings doesn't evoke some sort of emotion! Just love him so much!
Luther Vandross Was One of The Best Ever Singers in America History 🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the absolute best version of this song! It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
Better than the 1988 NAACP version?
NO, I think the tribute to Dionne Warwick, is the best one! Listen to that one!!
The look on your faces before Luther sang one word ,,,,,,, priceless!!!
Thank you for playing my guy Luther, I was at that concert he his a legend. He touches your soul. I miss you Luther ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You should also check out this version he did in tribute to Ms Dionne Warwick in NAACP awards in 1988 his vocals were off the charts
Yes, that's a great one!
Totally agree. Luther was fabulous ❤❤

I had the pleasure of seeing Luther live in LA. What a concert, What a voice. Gone too soon, RIP Luther
You need to react to: a house without a home, he performed it at the NAACP awards, the best version he’s ever done !!!!
Exactly. Without a doubt.
RIP Luther….. Check out Lisa Fischer “How Can I Ease The Pain” she was one of Luther’s back ground singers…. But do the live version
We are listening to His Masters Voice! 🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️
Nothing can compete with a live performance that is just as outstanding as listening to its CD.
Continue to R.I.P Mr Luther Vandross thanks for the beautiful music and memories ❤
Luther + Burt Bacharach and Hal David = magic!
Luther was a Grand Master with his voice!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
FACTS!!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖🥰💖💖💖💖💖
Listening to Luther is like being transported into a beautiful dream. It's subjective as to who has the most beautiful voice but in my opinion it's Luther. This is my favorite version of this song.
Mesmerising ♥
I too was at that concert at wembley, still got the programme and ticket, he was simply brilliant, effortless....
Love Luther since he first came on the scene! His voice is incredible ❤️🔥🔥🔥🌟💝❤️🔥! Gone too soon, RIP you incredible man Luther Vandross 😢
Luther was the buttah-man! You can just melt into his voice and songs.. he was wonderful and I hate he has passed. Music could use a current influence from this master class artist!
You can never go wrong with LUTHER!! Seeing him LIVE...just wow...his vocals never let you down!!
The man!! The legend!!!
I saw him do this song at NJ Art Center and my wife lost her mind. The ladies were screaming like you would not believe!!! I miss him saw much….rest in peace😢
Luther was the greatest soul singer ever there has never been another soul singer like him since he past. I really don't think anyone will ever match him truly one of a kind.
Abeautiful voice singing a beautiful melody to beautiful lyrics!
I'm glad I got the chance to see legendary Luther Vandross in concert. 🙂 EPIC performer!❤💐👏 RIP
Luther was so, amazing!!!
👏🙌👋 I have been listening to this song since it first came out and it still slays me every time. The whole album is🔥💯 thanks for a great reaction✌️🎶
Your generation missed out on a lot of good singers! I was so in love with this man. And so so sad, when he died, at the young age of 53, of a stroke! I still cry, when I hear his songs!
If you haven't already heard it. Please check out his cover of the Carpenters classic Superstar (1983).
Agreed! The video with the girl dancing on the piano.
@@Scott28k Yes exactly
Yes that's a version and a half!!!

Still, he was one of the greatest male vocalists of our generation.
SIMPLY UNDESCRIBABLE!!!❤
The fabulous 5: Luther Vandross, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke.
Jackie Wilson, Teddy Pendergrass, Peobo Bryson,
@@themajicman745 Just an elite 5, because if I add Jackie, why not David Ruffin, if I add Teddy, why, not Freddie Jackson, if I add Peobo, why not Jeffery Osbourne. etc. etc. lol
You know, it’s truly a pity that you all weren’t around in the 70’s and 80’s! But we love you for staying so dedicated to catching up!❤
I’m old enough to remember when “Never Too Much” was released. He appeared on Soul Train for the first time and sang this. The dancers were awestruck because rarely did performers sing live. Especially solos and brought the house down. Awesome

It doesn't matter which size he is his voice is off the change. There will never be another
So glad you didn’t interrupt the song! He deserves all our attention. RIP Luther.
Luther was a vocal beast. His voice was exceptional. One of the best singers ever to do it.

I love watching you both listening to songs I’ve heard hundreds of times. It’s like hearing them anew.🎶❤️😎
Gotta watch the NAACP awards with him...best performance of this song ever
I've seen him perform twice Live He was Phenomenal to see😍RIP My Love😍
Luther has the greatest male voice ever.
Luther is one of my favorite singers. I wish more people would react to other songs that he sang. Thank you for reacting to him
He is simply one of THE very best male vocalists to have ever lived or will ever live, in my opinion.
One of the finest and certainly the most soulful live song you will ever hear ! R.I.P Soul Man.
This is the ultimate "I F'd up baby" song
I got to see him live , he gave you powerful performance.
That is Luther at the top of his game.
I’m sorry it doesn’t get better than this …it just doesn’t !
Love You both ❤
Can you feel that’s!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Please react to Luther Vandross " Superstar" Live from the same concert won't be disappointed!!
There was and always will be only one Luther! Greatest R&B singer ever. We were blessed to be alive while this man was on earth. RIP Luther
Omg! Twenty years later, Luther's voice still gives me chills and goose bumps. Saw Luther in concert with Patty Labelle what can I say ultimate singer.
R.I.P Luther Vandros.❤❤❤❤❤
He was also a really kind person 🙏🏾
Seeing your reaction at the beginning of this video is priceless.😅😅😅😅😅
I love him and was devastated when he passed. WHAT A VOICE!!😊
Saw him in concert in London he was brilliant live
Superstar...he absolutely slayed that song that night.
I was blessed to have seen him in concert. What a talent!😊
My wife and I saw him twice up here in Toronto and yes he did the exact same thing. It sent goosebumps through the whole audience.
Omg grew up listening to Luther ❤
Can you imagine being in that audience? ❤💖💗
He’s the best singer I’ve ever heard. If you love this songs, listen to these 3 songs; Dance with my father, I’d rather and By me a rose. He touches my heart forever! Love listening to old songs with you both. To see your reactions is priceless!😂

Luther was the man!!! Saw him live 4 times! SO INCREDIBLE!!
He had such a velvet voice.Tony
I saw him at this concert at Wembley, I was there with my kids, 2nd row from the stage…..absolutely brilliant
