      @@andreovo cut off mj,elvis,prince and marvin gaye from that list..they were not better... and Sinatra as well..... the rest I can see arguments....
      Personally I dont understand how MJ's randomly thrown around in these kind of comparisions .His voice is too weak.I can't imagine him sounding close to any good singing some of the more popular rock songs....take Bohemian Rhapsody for example...
      Elvis can sing anything but I don't think his voice alone was what made him.Really good but not the best voice.Sinatra's good in his genre but I don't think he'll be close to MJ in MJ's type of music.....
      I think Luther had a unique voice in that he's good enough to hit high notes but he had also a deep and powerful voice.I think he'd definitely do rock songs well.And his control is so crazy good that I think with a little bit of training he'd still be good singing the type of songs in the Indian subcontinent which if you are unaware probably require most control in all genres.....Check out guys like Rahat Fateh Ali Khan....Those guys are crazy man

    What a beautiful tribute to Karen Carpenter from as beautiful a singer as Luther Vandross. I play Luthers cds when I'm driving two and from where ever I'm going just to put me at ease with the world, then this song came on.

    I seen Luther at Westbury music fair. I brought 2 tickets for each two different shows.
    First show I was stood up by someone. Yet I still went alone having the isle seat and the one next to me free. Luther came out and was talking and started to sing. STOPS starts talking. And says this is greater then this. Leaves the stage and said I'll be right back. Comes out in a red sequence jacket from the white sequence he first came out in. And the rest is just amazing love. God Bless and I gave the second show to someone whom always showed me the gifts we inherent here in life, among each other given, with out any return, other then before them the gifts of love, that is solely the gifts God, in which he gives.. his grace!

    from Jose' Sepulveda, the Hermeterec, the Kid From L. A........the first time I ever heard Luther Vandross sing I was driving down the PCH in my Camaro drop top, the sun was shining and all was right with the world.......then Luther came on the radio singing "Hello" and my jaw just dropped, and I said "Oh my God, this dude can sing.....!!!" Never forgot it...never quite got over it when Luther died at such a young age. He had so much more to give to this world. Rest softly, Luther......

    I so regret of all things...never seeing him Live in Concert....God rest your soul Mr. Luther Vandross...it would have been an honor to meet you...but it has been a PRIVILEGE to be a fan and hear your voice....

    Si no fuera por el UA-cam, nunca hubiera conocido y escuchado a estos genios de la música. Luther tenía una voz incomparable. Maravilloso.

    Luther can sing a song that lasts 24 hours and I would love every second, minute, and hour.

    He somehow manages to make every cover he does even better than the original. I seriously love him, one of the few male singers that reach into your soul and make you truly feel the emotion they are trying to evoke and convey.
