I watched it so many times! I absolutely love it! When Whitney came out I was taken back to her greatness. Every single performer there for Luther Vandross was exceptional and AMAZING!❤
Maaannnn the more I hear her covers of songs, the more I'm realizing we didn't get nearly enough of her covers of songs!!!!! They're always so 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
These newer artists can't hold a candle to one of these phenomenal singer's string of hair, let alone their entire person. They tore the house down! One of the best tributes ever!
Luther loved them all, respectively. Johnny just had more of a connection with Luther, as in he made it very known publicly that Luther was his mentor and inspiration, which is amazing that he got to actually have that relationship with his idol. Everyone knows how serious Luther Vandross and specific he is about vocals and actually doing a live performance, so Johnny just wanted to actually tribute Luther, one for the books. Johnny Gill is a very aggressive performer and that’s not a bad thing, it’s just that with someone who shares the stage with him.. that may be a bit passive or know how to work the stage like that will look lackluster. Johnny has the IT factor, the stuff you can’t teach. He knows what/how to do everything in any given moment, no matter what happens. Johnny was very much in charge of the boys, all those little inflections and ad libs he added.. and tbh.. 😂 I don’t think he actually stayed in position like they rehearsed. All of the guys song well though all jokes aside.
@@marcosmith4764I also think they are more vocally alike than Debarge and Latimore. I could easily see Luther and Johnny singing each other's songs and it not being a huge difference. Annnnd... I'm not sure how much they thought about it, but Luther was known to be in the closet, and I and have others have long suspected Johnny to be as well. So, just seemed they both could relate on a lot of things! They even look alike!
Ghezzz Still hard to believe Whitney, Luther, Prince, Aretha, MJ are all gone Way too soon. Thankful for clips like this & there music will live on to INFINITY & Beyond.

Nah. They sounded good, but their performance was hardly "masterful". Not on these songs. Once Luther records a song and makes it his, no artist can ever make it sound as good ever again.
@@meghanmisaliarWho you telling? 🤪 my daughters are biracial so you can stop pandering Yo Self ! 😂 and…they are beautiful just like their Mother who is me!
@@PNWgal66 slow down Karen. Just because you have 🦓s means absolutely NOTHING . And btw, your kids are not BP if they've been diluted w your sick European gene pool.
All three men are great singers. And ofcourse Whitney. Love this video. Brings back beautiful memories. So sad to see that Whitney and Luther are gone. But they are not forgotten. Aren't black people just beautiful?

Luther’s signature sound cannot be replicated but love hearing El, Jonny & Lattimore serenading him 😊 Whitney though, whew, that was a magical rendition ❤️
If ever there was to be a "Luther" bio movie, Johnny Gill would be an excellent Luther! (I also forgot how fine he used be! Lol) We lost our top musical legends all in a decade, what I mostly miss about them all, (Luther, Whitney, Micheal, Prince,Aretha, Natilie C, ) is they were the last generation to sing about "love" the love song eras seem no more. Now I wanna re-see this whole show♡
Among all three make vocalist, Johnny was the only one that got Luther to his feet ,I believe he reminded Luther of his younger self. The others were phenomenal as well.
I love El, love Kenny, but Johnny Gill was where it was AT in this tribute. Mans NEVER sleeps on his vocals & there's a certain raw, church-like spirit to his tone & riffs that Luther obviously felt. lol. LOVE his reaction at 3:37; Johnny ain't come to play!
@thetruthandnothingbutthetr6484 Nah, your ears are clearly missing what he was doing in that run. Trust, it was more than "hollering" & that's why he got that reaction from Luther & the audience. Slow it down if you need to
Baaaaaaaabyyyyy the way Johnny Gill Johnny Gilled on that Wait For Love❤❤❤❤ And Whitney was so beautiful, classy and Luther loved her inflection on Amazing ❤
This was awesome! Johnny Gill was right at home vocally. He was the one that carried this performance. He made Luther get up at one point and at another made him smile. He knew Johnny put the runs and the growls in all the right places.
There will never be another Mr. Luther Vandross also Mrs. Whitney Houston (one of the standards for female singers). I love hearing Mr. Johnny Gil say," Take Your Time", when someone sings the late great Mr. Luther Vandross's song. These three mem are some of the best, Mr. Johnny Gil, Mr. Kenny Lattimore and El DeBarge- Is it just me, they need to do a tour together, peace.
Luther was a special kind. Ummm umm umm. His music ballads were sooo unique. Glad that he got his 🌹. They picked the best to sing for him! Well done. R.I.P Luther and Whitney.
Our beautiful black artists, with vocals that no one can ever duplicate. I will forever hold Whitney and Luther close to my heart. I'm forever proud of them all. ❤👏
Geez my God Whitney’s voice was one of a kind. What i would give to hear her simg a complete rendition of that song. So effortless and velvety rich tone. She will never be duplicated.

I watched it so many times! I absolutely love it! When Whitney came out I was taken back to her greatness. Every single performer there for Luther Vandross was exceptional and AMAZING!❤
July 4th, 12:52, late night. Great performance!
Watched 7/5/24. Love that they honored my cousin Luther with such style and grace!
Whitney Houston could interpret ANY SONG…….and make it even more beautiful THAN IT WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Say that again and again, Please!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Maaannnn the more I hear her covers of songs, the more I'm realizing we didn't get nearly enough of her covers of songs!!!!! They're always so 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Let me tell yall… Whitney is anointed. It’s beyond performance, it’s beyond earthly explanation.
Yes she could
I don't agree
That damn Whitney…my gosh I miss her. How she interprets the lyrics..genius.
I know every time I see her I'm like poor Whitney but God dont make any mistake that I know for sure.
Speak!!❤❤
She is so damn elegant
AMEN! 🙏🙌🥰❤️💖🥳
Talk about it ladimu1!🤣
Kenny Latimore was soooooooo slept on when it came to vocals. That man can sang. 😩♥️🤞🏽
The REAL ones know! "Never too Busy" still one of the best R&B groovesssss
Yup Kenny could go back then and still got the pipes. This generation of vocalist had to be the truth back then. Great performance.
Agreed! I've always felt he shoulda been more mainstream than what he was! His vocals are AMAZINGLY amazing!!
Yes, Kenny is a great singer. I will give him that.
SAY THAT AGAIN!!
Watching November 2024 ❤
Me too. Thanksgiving day 2024. Good music. I'm just reminiscing . Legends
This is when shows were shows!!!💕💕💕
Aaaaamen
You telling the truth!! Now I don't even Watch it's sooo fake Now!!
Amen
You're absolutely right straight ability no nonsense just come out sing and get off.
Say it again!!! 💯💯💯💯💯
It's a shame today's kids will never have this quality of soul and R & B to look back on
They still can look back on it. They just won't remember it. I was born in 1980 but I still appreciate the Temptations, Marvin Gaye, etc
Damn the glory days of real R&B. What beautiful tribute!!!
Facts!🙂
The glory days were way earlier!
Enjoying this again, in November 2024. 🎉💪🏾❤️
Johnny is DAMN good...Jeez
I love it when Johnny Gill roars. He can hit those high notes.
His voice is amazing!
My Big Bro Bro J.G. Kills It Everytime...Yep...Yep...One Love Fam...
Strong vocals AND build (didn't realize)....
A GOAT
These newer artists can't hold a candle to one of these phenomenal singer's string of hair, let alone their entire person. They tore the house down! One of the best tributes ever!
This was magical, all these major heavy hitters on deck, love them all immensely, R.I.P. Luther and Whitney. ♥️
I know… Looking and listening to this woman sing is beautiful… To this day, I still can’t get over her being gone and her baby followed her too…🙏🏾

Johnny and Luther were really good friends
Johnny is baby luther
So happy Luther received his flowers while still living. Luther and Whitney are truly missed.

Only one of them is in heaven.

I see El Debarge with white and black on..so maybe somebody had to where all black

They mastered Luther’s music. You can see he enjoyed it.
Yessss
Nah. They sounded good, but their performance was hardly "masterful". Not on these songs. Once Luther records a song and makes it his, no artist can ever make it sound as good ever again.
These are true artists…singing in their own key but staying in tune…Mario Banks could probably pull this off today but not the rest…
Didn’t realize how much I miss The Queen’s voice also Mr. Vandross.
Me too

I really PRAY that your "GUESSIMATION" OR PREDICTION IS WRONG. BUT! Looking at and REMINISCING AND ENJOYING THIS "SNIPPETTE OF A FEW" OF OUR LONG STANDING, HIGH QUALITY PERFORMERS AND HEAVY HITTERS......you may be on to something VERY UNFORTUNATE.....for our grandchildren and their children.
Damn near flawless tribute! Definitely one of the best Musical Tributes off all time!
Kenny Lattimore sounds great!!!!
Hearing Whitney sing makes me cry. She deserved a much better than she got. They dont do tributes like this anymore...
Luther was the man
These Luther tributes only further prove how talented and unique his voice was. I doubt we will ever hear another like him
El DeBarge so handsome in his younger days.
Everybody did great!! 🎶🎶👏🏽👏🏽 I love me some El singing in those dulcet tones 🎶😍😍
Those three openings singers came in so hard. Such amazing voices!
Rest in peace Luther and Whitney miss them ! 💕💕
I really think this is on of the best performance ever!
Couldn't ask for more 💓. .. ...
WHITNEY COULD SING ANYBODY'S SONG'S AND MAKE THEM HER OWN!!! OMG I MISS HER!! AND LUTHER. WHEN MUSIC WAS REAL.
I am still looking at this video 11/2024
Johnny Gill had the crowd going NUTS!!!
