    @jasonrwolf4499 Рік тому +26

    This interview was great to watch- Luther so relaxed and I see a lot of mannerisms that just popped out if one knows what to look for. Luther was a closeted man and felt he had to be 1) because he wanted to make his mom proud and create less drama 2) he felt that his ability to create his music would be a distraction to his audience especially the ladies who just loved his delivery of his music and lastly artists who were openly gay typically in those years lost their careers due to stigma and discrimination. Today he would be embraced by so many if he were an openly gay man so when he created or re-envisioned a song a lot of his music is a message of yearning for love or the difficulties of being alone. His voice carried weight to the truths we all seek, acceptance and love.
    You are the power of love Luther, love power.

So, while I knew and loved his voice and music I don't recall ever seeing him interviewed. He had a beautiful and fun spirit. I sense some low self esteem regarding his looks/weight. I wish he knew that he was beautiful. Not only that, whether slim or not, he had a gift that was so much more meaningful than a 34 inch waist. So special, and absolutely gone too soon. Rest Luther 🤍.
