@breonsherman5103 she was actually 2nd, right after Brook Benton in July of '64. The song incredibly has been covered over 140 times, with Luther undoubtedly being the most legendary
Him and Patti LaBelle… I’m already rolling my eyes at the performative woulda coulda shoulda when she passes from this plain and people suddenly put her up like they should have been doing. Luther was unexpected, but yes he needs to have been in there.
Dionne Warwick, the living legend who first recorded this and hit decades earlier, was Luther’s musical inspiration. He covered many of her songs, did duets with her and spoke with her daily .he was singing a tribute to her.
R. I. P. to the Great Mr James Earl Jones and to the Great Mr John Amos Who were Both on Coming To America ; and They Both just recently passed.Also to Mr Frankie Beverly. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The year is 1988. Luther Vandross will forever be the best male vocalist of all time. His performances were nothing short of pure perfection! Miss you ♥️
It is a shame that he is not in the rock and roll Hall of Fame yet. Everyone says that Luther would be easily inducted but no one's brought him up in nomination yet and people speak as if it's a foregone conclusion.
He was AMAZING. I was fairly young teenage white girl when he peaked. I stumbled on a live performance, he was wearing a white suit and I was an instant fan. He was so handsome and a voice that is unmatched. RIP legend Luther Vandross.
Thank you for reacting to a house is not a home the first video this was his first time performing it and it was Dionne Warwick in audience they showed it was her song originally it was his dedication to her by singing it to her and it was his afterwards ❤❤
The truest of compliments was when buddy with the drop top smacked his lips at a rift around 7:50-7:55. From 8:20 to 8:25, Luther made the young one smack his lips 😂. Luther is that dude.
Have you all ever responded to Lenny Williams, “ Cause I Love you” ? Please do so, I love your reactions specifically bcz you Al respond to the voice & the band’s interaction. Never been Pros like y’all but in my school days played behind live singer’s & y’all remind me of the thoughts & conversations from back then. I’m over 60 so it’s been a mighty long time and y’all take me back, Thx for your service, you all are really great !
this is so weird ive been watching reactions from this exact performance over the last week (it's my fav vocal live performance ever) and now you all are reacting to it! love the commentary :)
Absolutely a fantastic reaction from you guys. This is one of the best live performances I've ever seen. It ranks right up there with the 1965 "live" performance of " Unchained Melody" done by Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers on The Andy Williams show.
Believe it or not, I just recommended you watch this UTTERLY PHENOMENAL performance having just watched your previous reaction to Lutther's Wembley Arena performance.
@TheTwerkEthicShow this was Luther's tribute and apology to the NAACP honoree Dionne Warwick. She and Luther had been having a public disagreement and he sang her song to her as a tribute and apology which she clearly accepts in the end. Btw, #funfact Park Hyo-Shin who you reacted to recently, was hugely influenced by Luther Vandross and he does a pretty amazing cover of Luther's arrangement of "Superstar".
If you guys want to hear something truly amazing please look up Lisa Fisher she was one of Luther Vandross back up singers for years and she is just as epic as Luther a bit more honestly! Be amazed! Lisa Fisher- how can I ease the pain!
Please please please react to Luther’s version of The Impossible Dream live at Royal Albert Hall. One of the most incredible renditions EVER. You reacted to his and Mariah’s cover of Endless Love from the same concert.
What you may not know is that before he went solo, he sang many successful jingles. I believe that he used the money from the jingles to pay to produce his first album. ua-cam.com/play/PLrsRnF7AOuKWp7WK05JB1fn9AxKuyXVqt.html&si=pYPWji557v8HHH28
Sadly, Luther Vandross passed on July 1, 2005 at the age of 54 due to complications of a stroke. Burt Bacharach & Hal David wrote this song for the movie of the same name. It is sung in the movie by Brook Benton. The same year, it was recorded by Dionne Warwick and was released as the B-side of her hit recording of "You'll Never Get to Heaven (If You Break My Heart)" on the Scepter Records label. Although it was the B-side of the 45 rpm single, it received enough radio airplay to peak at #71 on the pop singles chart. Mercury Records released the version that is heard in the film sung by Brook Benton and it peaked at #75. The meaning of "A House is Not a Home" in the movie refers to a bordello (whorehouse), while being a house of ill repute, it is not a home. The lyrics of the song, oddly, have nothing to do with the content of the movie.
@breonsherman5103 how it is it that Bacharach wrote it for the movie, she sang it, it appeared in the movie, but hers wasn't the first recording? What kind of Jedi Mind trick are we playing here?
Did you know Dionne Warwick originally sung that song in the 60's? It was written by Burt Bacharach, & I forgot his partner, but it was them that wrote it. I think the 19th NAACP Awards were sometime in the 90's. Well, I happen to think Luther Van Dross sung it better than Dionne Warwick. But, you got to credit, where credit is DUE!!!
Dionne Warwick was the original singer of this song. She received the NAACP award this night in 1988.
She was the 43rd person. Luther was 44
@@breonsherman5103 it was 1987
@@jokina9289 fully aware but I’m merely repeating what Ms Warwick said herself. She was the 43rd recording of that song

@@bigb2494 I’m only repeating what she said on R&B Money. I’m assuming she would know better than any of us
One of the best male vocalist ever
THE BEST!!!!
In this particular style? There's none better!
The best r & b singer for sure
I would say the only person to rival him is Johnny Mathis but Luther can hold his own!
The male equivalent to Whitney Houston when it came to vocals. R.I.P Luther & Whitney
He sung the hell out of this with so much control
Luther Vandross definitely deserves to be inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Class Of 2025.
Him and Patti LaBelle… I’m already rolling my eyes at the performative woulda coulda shoulda when she passes from this plain and people suddenly put her up like they should have been doing. Luther was unexpected, but yes he needs to have been in there.
Masterclass in delivery, execution, timing, precision, control, plain old singing! Luther was and still is the one! 🙏🏿💜
Couldn't agree more!
And is!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Dionne Warwick is the original singer of this song. Luther did a tribute to her by singing this song.
Masterclass. Just stood there and sang.
SANG he did!
This is Dionne Warwicks Song that’s why the camera cut to her
Ahhh, this is my favorite live performamce of A House is Not a Home. Luther had the audience mesmerized.

I started a petition to get Luther Vandross inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Class Of 2025. On the change website.

My Absolute favorite Luther Vandross performance ;Thank You for Your Reaction to this Great Song.🔥🔥🔥
Big, medium or small Luther! His voice never changed! We lost him way too soon❤❤❤❤
Thank you for reacting to a house is not a home the first video this was his first time performing it and it was Dionne Warwick in audience they showed it was her song originally it was his dedication to her by singing it to her and it was his afterwards ❤❤
One of the best vocalist ever to live on this planet. Rest in peace.❤
Luther was a backup singer for Ms. Warwick! if u get a chance check out Luther and Gregory Hines video there nothing better than love!
Thank You... was looking for this comment! Also back up & song writer for many others including David Bowie 😊 ❤! RIP Luther😢
Luther my Best RNB male voice ever
Luther is Legend!
😂😂 ya'll goofy as hell for that bagel bites clip 😂😂😂
Our first child was a Luther baby 😅😊.
You guys are hilarious!!

You guys have the most spot-on reaction to the musical aspects of this performance that I've seen, and I've watched dozens
One of the the greatest performances of all time...Rest in Paradise Luther 🙌
Y'all should react to "All in love is fair"- Dione Warwick, Live, Cabaret 1975 if you get a chance. It's another vocal masterclass.
One of if not the best live voice ever.
" he got more souls than a Kia Plant" said the guy on UA-cam
Y'all had me hysterical at Luther as a real estate agent
Luther is my favorite singer of all time by far 💯
John Amos from good times and coming to America and roots Passed away recently two months ago May he rip too
Also…
🌹♥️Cissy Houston♥️🌹
Luther is always great but on this night, he had all of his powers working and he knew. Fantabulous performance!
Luther and Dionne had been on the outs (arguing) and this was Luther's apology to her. Watch again and you can tell when she accepts his apology.
Black people need to start their own rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame and start celebrating our legends
this is so weird ive been watching reactions from this exact performance over the last week (it's my fav vocal live performance ever) and now you all are reacting to it! love the commentary :)
These guys are kinda silly and they talk too much
Anointed. Just like Whitney. 💜🙏
Yes, those two definitely had "it" ❤🙏🏾🕊
R.I.P. John Amos also from Coming To America. 💔
Great reaction guys!
The Luther roll is famous 😅
Omg, Luther! ❤
This is actually OG Luther. He wasn’t always big. We love him no matter what size though. 🫶🏾🙌🏼🤩💜💜
That Slo Glo reference got me weak 😂
Fun fact: There were some tension between the two of them before this moment. This performance was vandross, burying the hatchet.
Absolutely a fantastic reaction from you guys. This is one of the best live performances I've ever seen. It ranks right up there with the 1965 "live" performance of " Unchained Melody" done by Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers on The Andy Williams show.
Can you react to that's what friends are for? The live version that has Whitney and Luther singing.
I was about to ask the same and saw your comment. Hope they do It, I love that performance. 😍
😊@@maifonseca
06:07 - Luther Vandross Realt Estate - bwhahaha!!!! - I'm Dead.........LOL!!!! -
Everyone in that room was drawn in. So are y'all.
That's Dionne Warwick
Believe it or not, I just recommended you watch this UTTERLY PHENOMENAL performance having just watched your previous reaction to Lutther's Wembley Arena performance.
Please do Superstar Live at Wembley version! It's resplendent and transcendent! Love yall!

Remake of Dionne Warwick song. Fun fact, Ms. Warwick is related to the "Voice" Whitney Houston, cousins I believe.
In death, he still can't escape the pressures of his weight and self-esteem; don't diminish people.
Please please please react to Luther’s version of The Impossible Dream live at Royal Albert Hall. One of the most incredible renditions EVER. You reacted to his and Mariah’s cover of Endless Love from the same concert.
You guys forgot James Amos died last week also. He was in Coming to America. (Good Times) And Tito Jackson.
indeed a master at work , if I may if you want to react to dionne warwick all in love is fair cabaret 1975 live just another masterpiece

The reason why they keep showing Dionne Warwick cuz she done it originally in the 60s
Dionne Warwick is Whitney Houston's aunt her mother's sister❤❤❤❤
Baddies vocalist on the planet Period.
OMG. Y'all are 🤡s! Not Soul Glooooo 😂. I ❤ your channel.
@breonsherman5103 how it is it that Bacharach wrote it for the movie, she sang it, it appeared in the movie, but hers wasn't the first recording? What kind of Jedi Mind trick are we playing here?
Please tell me you'll consider a review of "Never Too Much" when it comes out in early 2025
Please react to Lea (pronounced like princess Leia) Salonga singing On My Own pwetty pwease! Thanks guys! ❤
It would be amazing if you guys would react to “Hear My Prayer - Cover by Callie Day: Berea College Festival”
😂😂😂😂 @he needs to be a real estate agent. He'd definitely sell all kinds of properties
I don't know if it's been said, but, Dionne Warwick is Whitney's Aunt.
Cousin. Whitney Houston's mom was Dionne Warwick's aunt.

The year was 1999! 😊😊😊😊😊
it was 1986/1987 i believe actually :)
No way… this was in 1987
It was in the 80's.
I could be mistaken 😊. Looking at Janet and Prince, ‘86-‘87 is more likely.
@@billmarshall5040 it was 1987
Plz react to Selena quintanillas disco medley
I love your reactions but this time was the first time you’ve talked through a lot of the most amazing parts. 😢
Absolutely love Luther, and the 1st Coming to America was better.
John Amos
Dionne did it first. But my gosh, he did it better.
Guys you need to react to Lady Gaga "Happy Mistake" live on JImmy Kimmel, you're gonna love it!
Yall literally talked over most of it
They replaced this kind of music, with rap, to get rid of love. Look around you, they've succeeded.
yayyyy!! do beyonce sweet dreams medley in las vegas next!
Y'all better stop talking and let Luther sang.
Quit talking!!!!😢😢😢😢😢
They usually don’t. This was disappointing for me as well.
This is exactly why I HATE new "RnB"
Any more Beyoncé content coming soon?
Less Talking please . . . . sit back and enjoy Luther . . . .
