    pass this inspirational performance on, we need this now more than ever!!
    Welcome! These musical clips are from a large video collection that is now being converted from VHS/Beta to digital. There is some viewing quality loss from the original video source due to the age of the tapes, but the performances are preserved and still a joy to view. I'm finding many lost performances from vintage R&B, Soul, Pop, Broadway, Cabaret and other performances. This channel will be the Ed Sullivan channel for the digital generation, something for everyone to enjoy. Many of the performances will be seen for the first time since they were originally televised. I will be adding many musical performances from a variety of sources that I hope you will enjoy.

    During my wife Katheryn's lifetime, this song was used for our First Dance at our wedding.
    June 12, 2004.
    My wife Katheryn was diagnosed November 18, 2016 with familial ALS. She passed away July 20, 2019

    My husband and I saw Luther Nov. 2, in Detroit. Joe Louis Arena. We were dating then. We got married in 1991 and Here & Now was our weddung Song. We have been married 31 years. I remember dancing to this song and thinking Luther was right there singing just for Us. We play this song every month on the 21st of each month because that's the day we got married, September 21, 1991. We dance to it every month and my husband sings along with Luther. Never gets old. I have a wonderful husband, yes I do tell him all the time but on the 21st of each month it's A very Special time we have FAITHFULLY shared for 31 yrs. We miss you Luther 🙏🌹💖

      I was blessed to see him three times at Wembley (once front row), not bragging just agreeing with you that he was awesome. Also saw MJ but would have been better staying at home as I was so far back at the open air stadium that I couldn't even see the massive screens they put up. Saw Whitney several times too. She was INCREDIBLE!! That voice though. Never saw Prince. Ah the 80s. 😢
