    Luther & Patti....that is all you would have to say...two greats in their own right....one need not know a whole lot about their private lives to know that Luther was one of the most kindest and generous people. Patti has the same reputation, they were and are pure of heart in their music, their message and their legacy...Luther & Patti meant so much to me when i was younger, they were spot-on with their music....the message was always there...Love & Respect...

    I was Luther Vandross' room service waiter at Tropicana Casino in AC NJ, He was kind, respectful, and very generous!! He always made us laugh... "Dance with my Father" was my favorite song because i used to Tap dance with my dad. And my dad passed away when that song came out. RIP my friend Luther Vandross' and my Dad...

    Patti knows just how to lighten a mood, with her casual tone of voice. Even though she got passionate with the reading, she knew how to bring it back down. Didn't get too emotional. And the song was touching and smile-triggering.. Thank-you Patti for that great tribute to Luther. A Talent to a Talent.
    R.I.P Luther Vandross.

    Luther Vandross had a God-given gift in his voice. It was absolutely amazing...incredible. We appreciate the time he was here. It is sad that we keep losing many people because of their health choices. so many people are going to an early grave with diabetes, and other related problems. Let's do better people so that we can live a long time and enjoy and love each other.

    A lot of love for a man that wasn't able to let the world in on his own views. I only know like 5 songs by heart but those 5 songs are pretty important. I'm sure that if is able to look at the world from wherever he is, he'd be more than satisfied to know that we're still singing and dancing to his songs. "If this world were mine" I wish people like him could've experienced that without the ridicule of the world.
