Yeeeeeeeees Girl You couldn't have said it any better thank you so much for speaking the truth. Yes Luther could take anybody's song and make it his own. I miss him so much.💔💔💔
Pamela Green, how right you are! Luther was gived with one of those rare voices, that most men who sing don't have. Many women have had a voice with a range like his. But not many men. God bless you 🙏!
@Wandah Whetstone Yeeeeeeees You couldn't have said it any better. There will never be another Luther. These little young singers out here today is no comparison in any way.
Yeah luther my boy. but that natural falsetto is very hard.. love Luther but love smoke's falsetto voice. Luther can do anybody love him too. it's a tribute 😉 luther does good work. But smokey songs are original to Smokey.

I see you Laurence Fishburn, I had the same look on my face when I saw Luther in the 80's at the Staple Center in LA as he hit those notes that made you get out of your seat!
Smokey just gave the best tribute to the ancestors I have ever heard. We must always remember those words. Our ancestors gave their all - blood, sweat, tears, and ultimately their lives so that we could go on. Please don't ever forget that. We owe them everything so please don't take whatever gains we have for granted. Don't ever give up the fight.

There will only be One & Only One Luther Vandross. Gorgeous Voice & Gorgeous Songs, Any songs he sings. R I P Luther, U are Truly, Deeply & Sadly Missed. ❤️😘🙏
Luther Van dross is simply one of the all time great singers. Smokey Robinson is the genius who wrote much of the soundtrack of my life. Superstars do not come any bigger than Diana Ross. She was a great host & this is the show on which she sang "If We Hold On Together" to Steven Spielberg to introduce his award, and he could not hide his delight. Great legends on a great evening!
Kenneth Hamlett🤗 Good Comment, they all were great⭐ some of my favorites🎤🎶 It's hard for me to believe Diana Ross was so cut throat, vicious and mean to other singers like they have claimed that she was to get to the top by any means that she thought was necessary. But she's still 1 of my fav female singers💃🏾💋💅🎤🎶
Amen. Smokey was great in his own right, but to sing like that and give credit and honor to those that'll gone on before takes a really special man. You could also see the love in Luther's heart as he sang this tribute. Peace and love going out to all of my brothers and sisters
Luther Vandross is an absolute legend. Im a rock and metal guy but when I need some feel good tunes I turn on the soulful sounds of Luther Vandross, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, AL Green and the Temptations
This was simply beautiful. I never saw this before. Or maybe I did see it and it's just now grasping me. Smokey sang "Somebody Died so that we could live". We should all remember that.
Oh Luther my man, your so sadly missed, singing these Smokey tunes brings tears to my eyes, why you went so early broke a lots of hearts, this from a 74 Yr old Brit RIP Luther.
WOW! What a performance. I was lucky to see Luther in concert 2 times and he was by far the greatest male vocalist I've witnessed live. I just wish he'd recorded a Smokey tribute album having heard this tribute medley. Smokey's acapella performance at the end was very moving- you really could've heard a pin drop. This is a masterclass in Talent and class
❤❤ tears to my eyes Smokey Robinson I've been hearing about Smokey Robinson since I was at my baby find my mom and dad Diana Ross intercourse Luther Vandross no matter what his condition was Luther Vandross from the very best that's one thing I love about my people no matter what they show up no matter what anybody say or do or say about us it doesn't matter because we show up for one another we always have somehow some way big congratulate I own because we love you we truly love you all Smokey Robinson my heart was saved his eyes she called him pretty eyes he had beautiful eyes Diana Ross fashion pure class Luther Vandross music that will put you in another space and time and I'm going to say it again I love all of my Afro-American people who stood and Kane and just did so many wonderful things whatever their path was and music such Beauty to the art of music and I want to thank you for all the beautiful music that I've heard since I've been a little girl into my teenager than my Adele Hood each and every one of you and Smokey Robinson oh my goodness he just took the torch and passed it and just kept helping and kept bringing it kept bringing it and giving and get briefing it's just wonderful it is so wonderful you would cry if you really really think about what on musical Geniuses have done they are all legends and they earned it the old fashioned way they didn't take the elevator they took his step-by-step God bless you and keep you forever you may B❤
I miss Luther so, so😢much. That would have been a wonderful Album. Luther singing Smokey song. RIP Luther. You left us some great memories. I love this video. Thanks for sharing…❤
I am 66 and most of the people on the Black Award shows today, I don't even know who they are. And mostly rappers and I can't understand nothing they are saying. I am definitely old school.🥰🥰🥰
Yeah, that’s something, they went from beauty and class to ass and trash. I was done when I turned on one show and niki had her ass in the air, I said now ain’t that a b-- and have not seen one since.
I was on a flight from Pittsburgh to LaGuardia NY in November of 2018. I had noticed a gentleman standing by the check in desk and after several times staring and thinking this man has very unusual eyes where have I seen them before. Well we boarded and I had the aisle seat second row on the right. Smokey had sat in the wrong seat so he to move he the window seat next to me. Before he sat down he said to me excuse me I think your in the wrong seat I said I don't think so what seat number do you have so he ended up by the window. Now again I am staring at this gentleman's eyes and thinking where have I seen this man before.,he was modestly dressed was wearing a tight fitting hat. Finally my curiosity got the best of me and I said to him where have I seen you before. He replied who do you think I am, I replied a little hesitantly Smokey Robinson to which he replied jokingly aw go on. He then said yes I am Smokey Robinson and your name is, to which I replied James. We had brief but very cordial conversation I not wanting to annoy him or impose on his space. Brief as it was it was long enough that there is nothing phony about William Smokey Robinson he is a humble and kind and as I told him leaving the plane a National treasure.

Luther could sing any any any song and completely own it. 2022 his voice I so smooth. RIP. Luther. We miss you. Diana Ross still the queen with a soothing beautiful voice. Respect to legend Smokey Robinson. Legends of our time giving us real music.❤❤👏👏
Not only was Luther blessed with an amazing voice, he was also blessed with the mastery of making any song sang his own! And with that talent he blessed us. Rest in heaven Luther 🙏
A phenomenal tribute to Mr. Smokey Robinson a living legend, from Mr. Luther Vandross who is gone but will never be forgotten. We are a proud race, who has produced some of the finest singers in the world!!
Wow,, begs the question Will this new generation have LEGENDS? Mr Smokey Robinson a lyrical genius and a quiet storm, ms Diana Ross The Diva of Life and Electrifying Entertainer, Mr LUTHER VANDROSS as ms Ross introduced him THE MASTERFUL , his voice is unmatched and his ability to draw you in without being extra in fact without even trying...
They may have their own “legends” but they won’t be a patch on the legends that we have and they will be far and few between with the “cancelling” culture of today
I feel so incredibly lucky and privileged to have gotten to know Diana in the early 80’s and spend a considerable amount of time with her. I was also honoured to be at the Motown At The Apollo tv special as an artist, with an access all areas pass, so got to meet all of the stars who made Motown the legendary company it was!! As if that wasn’t enough, Luther actually paid me a visit to my hotel one night, unexpectedly, and waited while I got ready so that we could go out for dinner!! Oh man, the stories I have even blow me away!!! Like I said, incredibly blessed!! 🥰🌟💖
I keep coming back to this .. one of the best tributes for me.. Luther did Smokey songs as they were Luther Songs.. A legend singing to a Legend.. this was music! Good music, with the perfect lyrics, and an amazing voice.. perfection!!!!
You made this comment 2 yrs ago but I am in tears today as well. Life is magnificent and all its glory. Those words he sang really hit different when you’re older. Someone died so we can live. 🙏🏾❤️
I used to play Smokey over and over when I was a teen. To hear Luther sing these songs 🎵 is just fantastic. RIP Luther 🙏 You truly are the man loved by so many.🌹❤😥
Their are no singers around today who can compare with the amazing great soul singers of yesterday ❤️❤️ RIP Luther and all the other great soul singers who have left us with amazing music and memories 🌹🌹🌹
SMOKEY'S TRIBUTE TO OUR ANCESTORS!!!!!!!!!!!! DIDNT YA'LL HEAR HIM????? OMGGGGGG!!!!!!! IM EMOTIONAL!!!!!!!! HE WAS DEEP IN THE SPIRIT ON THAT ONE!!!!!!!
I remember that night that show came on TV. Because when Luther was singing Ohh baby baby me and my late husband was slow dancing to it. I'll never forget that night. Looking at this brought tears to my eyes.💔💔💔💔💔
My heart is breaking and filled with joy at the same time! 💕💖What a treasure we had in Luther and how we are blessed to still have Smokey and Diana ….it all seemed like a better time…..what happened? Of course it’s 2021 now. Lord we need you….🙏🏾
This tribute is beyond awesome Diana is still has a sweet voice filled with gratitude and thanks. Luther Vandross sung Smokey's song without screaming; classy!! I saw Luther in Philly..I miss Mr Vandross' voice and his music..whooooo💔
These Artists are L❤️ved Deeply because they made their fans a big part of their lifes by singing their hearts out about something everyone goes through in some way. Don't ever stop creating and singing Diana and Smokey because in a big way your helping zillions come in to greater things for all in their lives. Thank you!
Wow! Those are great songs that were great as originally sung and Luther just so effortlessly recreated them. A true master at work! And I was not expecting Smokey to top it off with that stirring tribute!
You should put Luther’s name in the title too. Many of his fans would love to find this. 🎶
Kary Babii Thank you!
This actually was the BEST video version bc you started off with the Diana Ross introduction. Other videos don't show it.

Absolutely, Luther Vandross made those songs his own with his great voice. Fabulous tribute!
He should be in rock and roll Hall of Fame
Who Still Listening In 2024
Most artists can not touch a “Smokey” song but when Luther gets a hold of ANY song, he’s not giving it back and by far; he doesn’t even have to! ♥️
ok..... Luther put his flavor in it, sound dam good.
Yeeeeeeeees Girl
You couldn't have said it any better thank you so much for speaking the truth. Yes Luther could take anybody's song and make it his own. I miss him so much.💔💔💔

There is nothing good anybody can write about Mr.luther vandross that has not been written.He is simply a genius

Much Respect on High Power to the People 💪🏿🖤
I miss Luther he had a voice .No one copy him.
Smokey's face at 8:09 said it all. So gracious. That was a tribute. God bless them both.
Smokey’s song at the end should be the new Black folks anthem! When did we as Black folks forget our struggle?
@ Tina/Yes!!🙄😪
