I was fortunate to see him once...WOW! He was spectacular in concert. And being a big guy myself, I left the Concord Pavilion thinking I could sing and all the way home, I was ATTEMPTING to hit those high notes, with no avail. He was a true legend, that did legendary sang'n and music.
Not one Male Vocalist could ever take you to where Luther could take you!! I Miss Him! Incredible Voice. There will never be another like this true gift from God Himself.!! Thank you Lord for bringing us such a special Angel!!
0:32 I don’t mean to be that guy in the comments that bashes current singers for not being able to sing or for how easy they have it, but look at Luther hit that high note. You can see his whole face change to hit it beautifully.Awesome!
I was at this concert. Don’t remember the girl I was with (she probably doesn’t remember me either….) but will never forget Luther. Wow! He was awesome. God given talent.
I was there. Saw him twice, in the round, front row seat then VIP section. Once when he was portly, and again when he was skinny… And he was was hands-down, one of the best performers I’ve ever seen. Period. 💜🙏🏾✨💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
I feel so so sorry I never attended one of you concerts. Thank God there is something as You Tube and I am able to watch your shows on screen.... R.I.P
I live in Wembley UK and I remember going to this concert after I first went to the Hammersmith Odeon which he sold out but was too small so he had to hire the Wembley Odeon
Saw him in concert in 94 in Oakland, One of my most cherished memories, he was EPIC live. Glad he blessed the world with his voice but gone too soon. RIP
I love at 0:13: "We are going to start right from the beginning. How about that?" That'll teach people to be late for a Luther concert. LOL He used to say that he didn't believe in "playing with your ticket money". Great showman and an even greater singer.
True Entertainment and a great performance....Luther sounds just like hes in the studio.. His vocalist garments are as stunning as his! Sefless...he wanted them to shine like him. Lisa Fisher what a voice as well. What a gift by the one and only LV💙 You left us with ballads for a lifetime .
I am still sad that Luther is no longer with us. The rich texture of his voice was just so magical. I never tire of watching him perform or just listening to his music. Just a master of his craft! ♥️
I remember I had a tape with Luther Vandross music on it....I would play it in my walkman all the time. A girl at school used to love Luther Vandross so much....Wow, takes me back into time, with our jherri curl hair.
Im 25 & i respect this song MORE & MORE everytime i listen , I remember my gma used to blast this album on the weekends , wake up smelling bleach , knew it was cleaning time lol RIP gma , you made me appreciate good music !
What a legend, Rest in Peace Luther
Flawless vocal performance as always. Gotta give my props to the band and the backing vocalists as well.
I love Luther! He was so awesome!!

We play that song all the time in the family gathering . Back the early 80's in Lafayette Louisiana. Good lovable memories 💖
Imagine being able to fill Wembley stadium with just your voice. What an amazing human ❤❤❤
Total control and self confidence. Luther is greatest ❤ sound engineering is perfect, atmosphere onstage so great.
COME ON BACKGROUND!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 🖤
Completely mesmerized by his voice, RIP Luther Vandross💛
How was your day so far?
Its not a family BBQ if luther aint plauing🔥💯
All blacks.😂😂 Even us in East Africa we do that. Even in Thanksgiving and family Gatherings
Big lupha or small lupha we live him all the same
Facts
I’m white and put it out at the cook out too lol
seriously on a Luther Vandross video ? this would have 10 billion views if it was posted at our time. this generation is sleeping !!
seriously. The voice of angel the likes of which most of this generation wont get the chance to hear because hes not on the top 10 list.
Indeed
I would like it a thousand times if I could!
The Querulist Even a million times would never be enough
A million times would never be too much
His voice is booming at the beginning and it looks like he is barely even trying. Incredible!
No exaggeration. He didn’t have one bad song!RIP🙏🏼
When Luther sings he sings with his eyes and smile too. So pretty and subtle and effortless. But his voice soars beyond this world!
Luther was just an absolute monster talent. It's a crying shame that he left us as soon as he did.
L
Amen…😢
I was fortunate to see him once...WOW! He was spectacular in concert. And being a big guy myself, I left the Concord Pavilion thinking I could sing and all the way home, I was ATTEMPTING to hit those high notes, with no avail. He was a true legend, that did legendary sang'n and music.
Luther was a class act. His voice control was amazing and so effortless.
Left us much too young!
Not one Male Vocalist could ever take you to where Luther could take you!! I Miss Him! Incredible Voice. There will never be another like this true gift from God Himself.!! Thank you Lord for bringing us such a special Angel!!
Now u reaching Luther is a vocal beast but Peabo and Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye will tell u to hold their beer but Luther a beast
0:32 I don’t mean to be that guy in the comments that bashes current singers for not being able to sing or for how easy they have it, but look at Luther hit that high note. You can see his whole face change to hit it beautifully.Awesome!
Dang... That voice... I loved hearing this song live, as he ALWAYS Killed it.
No doubt Black Music has another Level. Respect.
these dresses!!! I love how the ladies and men dressed back then
I was at this concert. Don’t remember the girl I was with (she probably doesn’t remember me either….) but will never forget Luther. Wow! He was awesome. God given talent.
Oh wow! I'm jealous!!!!! I love Luther 💘💗♥
Never got to see him in concert... One of my greatest regrets...
Indeed he was awesome.
I laughed at your comment. What a memory.
Same thing happened to me going to a Maceo Parker concert. I just remember I had some female company 😂
Let's start from the beginning Darling Luther.. Wish you were still here!
No auto tune no help from any type of machine....str8 voice....simply a master
well he was using reverb tho. But I get your point
@fabianossioc7422 Reverb Is Actually Really...Really...Dope...Auto Tune Is Fake And Whack...One Love Fam.
Has there ever been a better male vocalist ? That is effortless
Keep resting, Luther😢
What a dreamy looking guy with a perfect voice
How was your day so far??
@@davidgill9921 only six years too late man. She's presumably had multiple days since
we all miss him...................................great loss for American Soul music! 2024 now
This is soooo good. I’m so glad I clicked on this live version.
This is what I call R&B.
Same
Is this really R&B? I always pictured this being more like a funk song?
RIP Luther ….i had all your albums👍
saw luther vandross twice in concert it was brilliant. Miss his talent
so jealous ❤
I was there.
Saw him twice, in the round, front row seat then VIP section.
Once when he was portly, and again when he was skinny…
And he was was hands-down, one of the best performers I’ve ever seen.

This song is timeless. We lost a shining star when Luther Vandross passed away. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Perfection all the way. Vocals + Performance = Class all day. Not too many can do this.
How are you doing
What an amazing talent he was. WOW!
I live in Wembley UK and I remember going to this concert after I first went to the Hammersmith Odeon which he sold out but was too small so he had to hire the Wembley Odeon
R.I.P. 🪦 Luther Vandross
It’s the echo on ‘Oo-ee’ right at the beginning that does it for me!
Such a beautiful gifted voice and outstanding performer.
Luther was the GOAT.
We still here listening to him. Still *GOATED* 🖤
Saw him in concert in 94 in Oakland, One of my most cherished memories, he was EPIC live. Glad he blessed the world with his voice but gone too soon. RIP
