Yes and me and my late friends dying from 2019-2021 we would sing Luther vandross song that he sang at church called born by the river and when the song would end Everytime me and my friends would shout and clap our hands for joy.
Yes there is Micheal. Yes there is Lionel, Yes there is Stevie, Yes there is Teddy and also Whitney but, to stand in front of a microphone and deliver an emotional affecting and profound song, there simply is nobody like Luther. Period.
@@Proverbspsalms I respectfully disagree. In the black church, a history or faith and politics has often mixed to inspire congregants to bring the change, be the change or influence the change.
@@darrylbundrige982 well you’re disagreeing with God because I didn’t write the Bible. Take it up with him. That being said, my comment had nothing to do with the rubbish that you typed.
I have the same feeling since almost 40 years ( 55 right now ) and I think I am something special. By the way, in my early times I just was hanging around in black clubs.
He owns it. He sings it. We all need to get it. The only reason we are here is to make a change. Love one another, as Luther loved his gift. He will live in my heart.
I really miss Luther, loved his music never miss show or concert. There will never be another Luther Vandross one of greatness singer & songwriter would left us to soon . He really is miss but his music brings back such great memories.
He was taken way too soon but at least we have his music to share. Whether black, white, blue or green...he touched everyone. There have been very few people blessed with a voice like his. God bless you Luther Vandross.
Baby, let's be our brother keeper! Closed mouths don't get fed! And, don't get Healed! The Word of God Heals! We got to speak it over each other! No more pride!
What I love bout LV is that he never loses his demeanour when the crowd reacts to his vocal class...he always performs with class...some could learn from his humility even when performing
This is my baby...Can't nobody and I mean nobody sing it like Luther...I love this dude so much...He will always hold the title of the greatest make vocalist of all time
+Brandon Virgil .....well, maybe different, but not better. Sam's original is the standard & gorgeously moving. Luther's live version here with runs and vamps delivered by his near perfect vocals is equally beautiful to Sam's. I want both on my playlist.
There are music artists that unexpectedly and sadly leave this world. Then there are those artists that sadly leave us in this world while we still want more music out of them, and Luther Vandross is one of them.
I was a little white girl, from a small town in Oklahoma, and Luther's music just reached in and rocked my world. What a gift. Lost so soon, so early, he could just reach across so many bridges and get ya where ya live. RIP, Luther, and thank you.
The first time I heard this mans voice it sent a chill down my spine and 30 years later it still has the same effect. I can honestly say that the biggest musical regret in my life was never seeing this man sing live.Luther you are and always will be my favourite male singer ever and what a pleasure you have and still give me whenever I hear your voice thank you and god bless you
I was lucky enough to see this man live 4 times in London. There is STILL no one who can ever do what that man did with his voice……quite simply the greatest male vocalist of all time ❤️
Derrick Singleton ....What's up Derrick,just to give ya a heads up...listen to Sam Cook, Otis Redding and Al Green.... don't sleep on David Ruffian ...your list is good but it needed to be completed...holla
Marvin Gaye, David Ruffin, Peabo Bryson, James Ingram, Luther V, Teddy P, Barry White, Stevie Wonder, Bobby Womack, Al Green, Michael J, Sam Cooke, Wanye, El Debarge, Phillip Bailey, Keith Washington, BeBe Winans, Marvin Winans, Walter Williams of the OJays, Eddie Levert, Gerald Levert, Otis Redding, Prince and Brian McKnight are the male vocalist for me. Put any of those brothas on and I'm in heaven
I know Luther has been gone more than 18 years but I still listen to him sing everyday. When he says someone's name over and over it makes me want to listen to him more.
Went to see Luther in 1992 with Envogue when they toured with him at MSA in Indy. Still get chills when I here him sing. One of the greatest voices of all time. R.I.P. Luther!!!!
I listened to Luther EVERY DAY from 2002-2004 when my mother was dying. Then when HE DIED I almost lost it. As a matter of fact...I DID LOSE IT FOR A MONTH. I've never been the same since.
Dear, I SO understand, lost my Mother to a long battle she fought of illnesses. May Jesus hold your hand..my family's 1st Christmas without my. sweet Mother.. (whew).. Blessings.
+Carla Miller-Camacho God Bless you- I really lost something when Luther passed too- Thankfully, we can always listen to his sweet voice, feel his soul, his very presence in the here and now AMEN
A note of appreciation to you for this video. I miss the man and his gift in the world, it feels less full...without him, this is a healing balm to his loss....
Four people must have been jealous. Ha! No one could sing like Luther. Taken too soon. You are so missed, but I believe I will meet you one day, singing in the heavenly choir. ♪♫
I love his song "Dancing with my Father again" but I find it hard to listen to because it reminds me so much of my Dad, as we use to dance together I just burst into tears every time.
Yes a change is coming but Don't be afraid to die my beloved cause my king has something more beautiful for you in the heaven round everything you wanted he gave you on this Earth and everything you wanted your woman back on your arms he has blessed you shining star rest in peace my beloved
luther vandross for me he isnt jst a singer ,he is my dictionary to any emotion one can feel in love and out of love.he has brilliant voice together with his words he create magic .
AMEN!!! SO BEAUTIFUL & SO POWERFUL!!! No human being on earth has EVER performed this song with such Perfection other than Mr Sam Cooke & Mr Luther Vandross!!! RIP in Heaven My Brothers!
cant wait to c him and hear his angels ,teddy elvis levi,most of the temps, and man more of this singers above . u all rest in heavenly peace. u bring us so mutch joy in our lives thanks to u all .
Luther will be ever remembered for his passion in his vocals! He always delivered to his fans and audience his love of his gifts and talents. There are many who sing from the heart giving that back in the day healing. Derrick Thomas and Jaheim are also passionate vocalists!
Oh what gifts did Mr. Luther Vandross deliver from his soul. A true love for all of us.......I pray for anyone whom hasn't reached up to grab the hand of Jesus Christ only son of GOD to encourage you don't give up he's there, but pray for patience (as our daughter says). One day a "REVELATION" of your asking will come and the tears of faith will fall joyously, let them fall don't wipe them away that will come because you believe. A CHANGE IS GONNA COME AND WHEN THAT COMES WE WILL ALL THEN LIVE IN HARMONY, PEACE, HAPPINESS, PERFECTION AS GOD HAS DECLARED AND BY JESUS CHRIST WHO SUFFERED AS WE ALL HAVE AND WILL DO SO. GRACEFULLY, GLADLY AND WITH ALL WHOM WE ARE BLESSED IN THE OUR ONLY FATHERS ARMS, AMEN. - With the gift of GODLY LOVE, I AM BLESSED TO GIVE - Kimberly
What's it about black gospel ..that grips your soul .I'm a 56 white dude when I pass away I want the sam cook version played at my funeral .it's so soul searching .
I havent seen this in years ! This was an HBO special with Paul Simon, Luther Vandross and Jennifer Holiday I was 13 at the time so I would say the early 80's. I remember putting my tape recorder up to the tv speaker and taping the whole show on cassette. lol Wow great memories .
There used to be everyday me and my late friends would watch Luther and Della Reese sing at church on tv in different concerts singing I was born by the river. I was young and lifting it up and my friends were my age lifting gods name up in Jesus
The mould was broken when the Lord made this masterful sultry yet explosive vocalist. The world lost the best there will ever be.

Well said. Michael is king but when it comes to love songs nobody does. It like Luther.
Don’t forget Marvin Gaye and Babyface
I absolutely adore Luther but let’s not get it twisted Whitney was anointed as well
Noone does delivers like Luther Vandross!
Still listening 2024. RIP Luther.
It's AMAZING How Luther Could LUTHERIIZE Any Song And Just Take It To THE NEXT LEVEL !!!!!.....
Exactly!
He's the greatest because he could do just that more than any other.
O the maestro himself❤......he was a power house
Loved till this day
Another reason why Luther Vandross was and still is one of the best voices of all time.
R.I.P. Luther Vandross. I love you brother.
mee too
Imagine going to Church Sunday morning and this happens. Tremendous!
Well if Luther start singing at church on Sunday morning now, I’ll crap my self.
I would leave. This don’t belong in the house of God

Boomtown Rat Music knows no color.
Boomtown Rat I heard that because that is how good he is

Luther moves my soul with every song he sings.
Yes my Darling
GREATEST MALE VOCALIST EVER !!!!!!!
NOONE CAN COMPARE WITH YOUR GIFT LUTHER ! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR VOICE W/ US ALL ! R.I.P ~~~~~~~
No over riffing, no over extensive vocal acrobatics, just a voice. A beautiful voice.👏🏿👏🏿
Yessssssssssssss!!!
Mm
he embellishes and ornaments the melody. He just does it so tastefully that it fits.
Luther Simply Has Control When It Comes To His Singing Style....Period!
james hayden complete control. he pick it up and put it down whenever he wants it
3:07.Badass Badassery. In church. Lol. Hallelujah.
He owns it. He sings it. We all need to get it. The only reason we are here is to make a change. Love one another, as Luther loved his gift. He will live in my heart.
And mine as well.
The greatest singer of my lifetime...never ever did he lip sync...truly love and miss him soo much😍😍
I really miss Luther, loved his music never miss show or concert. There will never be another Luther Vandross one of greatness singer & songwriter would left us to soon . He really is miss but his music brings back such great memories.

One of the most handsome talented men ever seen in my life
Caroline Charleston So gorgeous. Voice and physical.
OMFG I don’t think I’ve ever clicked on a video as quickly as I did this one!
I have been a fan of Luther’s for years and there is no one who even compares to his smooth voice! Miss his music!
OmG.. Only Mr. Luther Vandross can take a song and make it his personal version.. Naturally Anointed by God🔥🔥🔥
yes Luther Vandross one of the greatest voices of all time
'The velvet voice' and greatest of all time!
The combination is irresistible:
1. Luther Vandross
2. Singing A Change is Gonna Come
3. In church
And of course he tore it up!
Never heard this before. Didn't think anyone could do it better than Sam Cooke, but of course Luther makes everything better. He's the King. RIP.
What I love bout LV is that he never loses his demeanour when the crowd reacts to his vocal class...he always performs with class...some could learn from his humility even when performing
True.
This is my baby...Can't nobody and I mean nobody sing it like Luther...I love this dude so much...He will always hold the title of the greatest make vocalist of all time
Felicia Renee 1000% correct
Felicia Renee Luther was such a talent…just BEAUTIFUL. This song belongs to him, Lou Rawls, Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson and Al Green.
I need to add that the only other singer who did this song justice was wonderful RONNIE DYSON..May all thee fabulous singers RIP.
+Felicia Renee Sam Cooke sang this song so much better.
+Brandon Virgil .....well, maybe different, but not better. Sam's original is the standard & gorgeously moving. Luther's live version here with runs and vamps delivered by his near perfect vocals is equally beautiful to Sam's. I want both on my playlist.

I was lucky enough to see this man live 4 times in London. There is STILL no one who can ever do what that man did with his voice……quite simply the greatest male vocalist of all time ❤️
Massive goosebumps every time I listen to Luther..I miss you so much..
Luther, Michael J., Peabo Bryson, Steve Perry and Daryl Coley have the most awesome male voices ever.

I know Luther has been gone more than 18 years but I still listen to him sing everyday. When he says someone's name over and over it makes me want to listen to him more.
This is how u remake a song thats already a classic hit. Sam would have been so proud!
Went to see Luther in 1992 with Envogue when they toured with him at MSA in Indy. Still get chills when I here him sing. One of the greatest voices of all time. R.I.P. Luther!!!!
Thank you so very much for posting this. I am in tears. This is without a doubt, his greatest performance.
Luther is a once in a lifetime. No one can touch his talent. No one.
So amazing!!! RIP Mr. Luther Vandross. I can't believe it's been almost 18 years since he left us...
This voice will live forever. Luther singing in heaven. RIP

I love this man! You will never be forgotten!!!!!!
A note of appreciation to you for this video. I miss the man and his gift in the world, it feels less full...without him, this is a healing balm to his loss....
the king R&B,the best male voice of the time!!
Migos Bad and bouse
Luther is one of the greatest no doubt but sam cooke who sung the original is just as good or better.
For that era, Sam Cooke was the best, but did the oldies and the modern exceptionally well.
There'll never be another voice like Luther's. His life was in his voice
it's 2022 and I'm still listening
BEST VERSION OF THIS SONG I'VE EVER HEARD
Four people must have been jealous. Ha! No one could sing like Luther. Taken too soon. You are so missed, but I believe I will meet you one day, singing in the heavenly choir. ♪♫
Miss him!
Luther and Jesus........unstoppable!!! Please help our sick Nation.
Luther was THAT DUDE!
I love his song "Dancing with my Father again" but I find it hard to listen to because it reminds me so much of my Dad, as we use to dance together I just burst into tears every time.
Carmel Cohen And one day when the clouds part and the tears dry you will dance again to a never ending melody in a never ending sky!!!🌷🌷🌷
same here thats what i did with my father when i was young ...heart breaking i get the feeling
"A never ending melody, in a never ending sky." Lovely.
@Carmel Cohen. You were fortunate to have a father that loved you, many didn't like myself. But I know my Father in heaven does!!!
Luther Vandross was an amazing singer!
2nd best performance of this song next to the man himself Sam Cooke. Wow!
