We're so lucky to have this performance on film. Luther was so amazing!! I was privileged to see him in concert several times. I'll cherish those memories always
I want everybody to think about what’s going on in this video right now, some of the best singers in that generation is in an audience, and he’s bringing them to tears.
Luther Vandross is definitely one of the best, if not the best to ever do it. The control he has over his voice is amazing. The production of his songs and he always had the best background vocals. Was blessed to see him live back in the 90's. Best performance I have ever seen. Period.
My friend worked for his manager. I was able to see and meet Luther many times. Incredibly sweet man and one of the greatest and underrated singers ever. Lots of babies because of Luther!!! Lol
@@shells500tutubo When he was alive he was extremely popular but has been lost to the next generation(s). He did not have the catalogue nor the publicity machine of his peers.
@@legendaryone696 Just saying that if you ask someone under 40 about great singers they might remember Lionel Ritchie...but probably not Luther. Luther was a better singer. One of the best ALL time.
Dionne Warwick also sponsored Luther's solo career; he was one of her back-up singers. She brought him to the right people. Dionne was also the one who first called him "THE VOICE."
@@FHIPrincePeter Exactly. Moreso David Bowie and Roberta Flack (who was actually the one to hook him up with connections for his solo career.

@@KILLJOY375 “Yet, even with his success with Change, Luther couldn’t get a record deal. Instead, he went back on the road with Roberta Flack. Flack was one of Luther’s biggest fans, and encouraged him to try for a solo career. Luther would say that she “lovingly fired” him from her tour. His confidence increased, and he would use money from his day job singing jingles to create his own record, and shop it around the various record labels. Finally, Epic Records signed Luther up and in 1981 the label released Never Too Much.”
He was actually singing back up for Roberta Flack. She heard him singing her song at sound check and told him he did not need to be singing backup of anybody. She basically fired him so he would start his solo career.
Didn't Need Autotune, Flashy Lights, dancers twerking, or parading half naked on stage...Luther just brought his amazing voice, full of bravado. controlled perfect pitched smooth, silky voice and enunciation...YET still captivated & had the entire audience in the palm of his hands....the best male vocalist ever!
@@fucker661 Actually, she doesn’t need any of those things. Sexiness doesn’t negate talent. At this time, no one would have wanted to see Luther half naked. Be for real.
@Brad Steele. I don't know if you'll see this comment, but I want to thank you for presenting the very special Luther Vandross. Thank you for appreciating the pure unalderated pinnacle of talent that he was.❤️🙏. May he Rest in Peace. Amen.
You mean you don't know the living legend Dionne Warwick? Luther loved Dionne Warwick -- not romantically but professionally. He favored the female singing voice and Dionne Warwick was his all-time favorite -- the GOAT in his eyes.
Right! You’re a singer/songwriter and don’t know one of the OG’s who paved the way? And never mind she’s Whitney Houston’s Aunt, who influenced her career as well?
This was Dionne Warwick’s song that was written and composed by Burt Bacharach….they definitely were one of the greatest singer/songwriter combos of all time.
Brad like you I feel that his mastery of his voice is a true gift from God. I feel that he was one of the greatest singers of all time. What power and control... RIP Luther
These sort of performances are just rare nowadays and it takes a special vocalist with the talents to compel a whole audience to react the way they did. Seriously, what a silky smooth and memorable performance. Just like Whitney they both just commanded the stage with presence. Good on Luther to commemorate Dione Warwick with this classic cover that was a hit for both of them. The fact she was moved to tears in the end shows the tribute to her on this award show was something special.
To answer your question,no one has a crowd that captivated during a performance to the point where people are cheering DURING the performance for the voice. Not the lights,the dancers,the production. Just him and the mic.
"A House Is Not a Home" was written by (of course) Burt Bacharach & Hal David for the 1964 movie of the same name. Brook Benton's version of the track was used in the movie and released two weeks before Dionne Warwick's version was. Luther's version was released 1981, from his debut album _Never Too Much._ The problem is that when Luther does a cover, he so makes it his own that everyone forgets the original version! 😂 6:03 In this rendition, the woman in the audience *is* Dionne Warwick, Luther's friend, musical inspiration, and great supporter of his career. He was a hugely in-demand background vocalist for many years, singing backup for her and for dozens of other artists, like David Bowie _(Young Americans,)_ Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Ringo Starr, Todd Rundgren, Donna Summer, Chaka Khan, and Bette Midler. Vandross produced, wrote songs for, and sung in a duet with Warwick on the title track of her 1983 album, _How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye_
That was the era of real love songs! Made relationships much better when this kind of music was put out. It'll be 1000 years b4 a voice Iike his comes around again.
That women that they are showing is Dionne Warrick, Whitney Houston's cousin and singer of this song originally in the 60's. She also recorded "Walk on by" and "Do you know the way to San Jose" and this song "A house is not a home" She's just marveling at Luther's rendition of the song that was originally recorded by her and written by Burt Bacharach! I'm surprised at you being a song writer and not knowing the work of one of the greatest song writers of all time Burt Bacharach. Whoops I see in the comments people have already told you about Dionne and Burt, but you should have known Burt songs if you are a song writer, his work is legendary!
She didn't discover him. As a teen he sung on (I believe it was) Electric Company. He later moved on to sing for David Bowie (wrote Young Americans and sang on Fame). He has a bunch of guest singer credits before working with Dionne.
The lady they keep showing is Dionne Warwick, who's one of the greatest singers ever and she was Whitney Houston's aunt. They were doing a tribute and honoring her, so Luther was serenading her.
Dionne Warwick was receiving a reward that night... She recorded this song first and later he covered it... so he was chosen to participate in the tribute to her...
No band to cue. The music was the instrumental studio track & Luther navigated those breaks with no problem. Singing to his 1st music idol, Ms Warwick.
you're too young to know the history here but the reason Dionne Warwick is reacting so strongly to this performance is because she first recorded this song and is moved to tears by his version of it. And she and Vandross did an album together called "How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye"
No, they were not a couple, Luther use to sing backup for Dionne, and she basically discovered him. They became great friends and had some type of fallout and did not speak for some time. That is what he is referring to when he apologizes during the song. This is Dionne’s song that Luther remade and he is singing it during a tribute in the show for her.
Heavenly choir Luther Vandross, James Ingram, Michael Jackson, Issac Hayes, Barry White,Prince, Whitney Houston,Donna Summer, Aretha Franklin James Brown Ray Charles,Phyllis Hymen All the original Temptations including Dennis Edwards the Four Tops and June Pointer from the Pointer sisters. Gone too soon but were appreciated
Many of my favorites in your list. I understand,the greats gone too soon are so many it’s pardonable to forget some of them(Teddy Pendergrass,Maurice White and some E W F members,and so many more)
I loved your reaction to this song and your analysis. It is spot on. Most of the time when I hear a great song I wanna go back and hear the original artist or people that did it previously. Usually it sounds good coming from several different people. However, in this case, when I hear other people do it including the original artist, it sounds like garbage. This guy simply owned this song and nobody else can do it.
backstory: Luther and Dionne Warwick were best friends and they'd had a falling out. That's why he'd chosen this song. He was actually apologizing to her in real-time. If you watch the video again, you'll notice that he looks directly in her eyes when he sings "I was wrong, and I know it. Forgive me." That's why Dionne dropped a tear at the end.
The women the camera kept going to is the original singer of that song Dionne Warwick which was written by Burt Bachrach. Its her song. Luther is doing his exceptional version of it. .
When you see the camera keep panning out to Dionne Warwick, not only was Dionne good friends with her, but she was the first person that did this song who songwriter and friend, Burt Bacharach and co-writer had originally wrote for her Because of Bert Bacharach first writing a number of songs purposely for Dionne, did she become well known making her a singing sensation. Burt Bacharach, even though he has received aclaims for his writing amazing love ballots; I truly believe that unless the singers could sing his songs that they stood a strong possibility that the singers wouldn't have risen to the status that they became. And alot of them knew it and were greatful for Burt and his songwriting imaginations and his abilities. Burt also, was a special talent which the likes we'll never see again. RIP Burt Bacharach!
The woman is legendary singer Dianne Warwick. Whitney Houston's aunt. Luther was gay. Wasn't shared publicly until after his passing. Phenomenal singer, my absolute favorite entertainer of all time.
I remember watching this program live. Awesome talent. I miss him so much. That's Dionne Warwick. She is Whitney Houston's aunt.... incredible voice. Check out some of her performances.
You see this excitement when you're dealing with a black audience who overstands what is happening. This is our culture. It was a tribute to Dionne Warwick.
@Shaun Sanders. It was fabulous, no matter what crowd it was!! This gentleman UA-cam podcaster knew he was listening to the pinnacle of talent. RIP dear Luther, May Jesus keep you kind Sir.❤️🙏 P.S. They pure joy and exuberance was palpable in that crowd!!!
Cannot believe u don't know Dionne @brad. See, we just went over this season one top 5 night. That's why you shouldn't fast forward everything. There is a lot of education in between all that corniness.
After this performance the original singer (I vaguely remember it from the mid 1960's, it was not a major hit for her) said she would not ever sing it again. Dionne didn't.
LOL,..NO they were NOT a couple,..(Luther was Gay) BUT he had LOTS of respect for the Divas of music and he and Dionne had a falling out (she. was one of his mentors) . I LOVE Luther, saw him 3 times in concert and was devastated when he passed
Luther is gay Dionne was a friend and she recorded this song ahead of him. Tribute to Dionne. Fabulous job. Greatest singer of all time. He passed too soon. ❤❤
Hello. It was a tribute to her making the song first and Luther!!!!! Remade or as we say Lutherize the song. Look it up. Luther REFRESHED ALOT OF SONGS!
I miss him. 😢 such a tremendous talent.
I miss that man!!! What a voice. That's Dionne Warwick. She originally recorded "A House is Not a Home" and Luther covered it.
also this part of the show was a tribute to Dionne , that's why the camera constantly on her.
I couldn't agree more, what a man and what a voice! No one can even come close.
Burt Bacharach wrote this song so it makes sense Dionne covered it as she was his main muse. There is an even earlier live version with Burt (not known for his vocals) and Dusty Springfield if you care to give a listen.

The best singer EVER!!
Defitely a case to be made
Dionne Warwick was the original singer of A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME. Vandross idolized Warwick.
I love watching ppl reactions videos of Luther Vandross. I tear up each time. Love and miss him. No one can touch him.
