  • Another of Luther's classics performed. As always the backing vocals are dynamite as well.

      Hi Tim - just to let you know, Ava Cherry wasn't onstage with Lisa Fischer, Kevin Owens and Luther that night or for the rest of that week of gigs at Wembley. Alfa Anderson (of Chic) deputised for her all that week. Paulette McWilliams was there too, but offstage in the dugout with the band. Ava's name was actually in the tour programme, but Alfa performed in her place, certainly for that week - not sure about the rest of the European tour that year. Ava did (triumphantly) appear at Wembley with Luther and his gang just a couple of years later in 1989 and she was awesome. I believe Ava then did every other UK and Wembley gig with Luther afterwards, until he changed his whole band sometime in the mid 2000s. Indeed, as you say, Lisa, Ava, Kevin (and all of Luther's BVs over the years) were flawless.

      No Ava Cherry, I think the one with the blonde hair is Alfa Anderson.

    • @djscott1129
      @djscott1129 5 років тому +7

      Alfa is on this tour. She'd been touring with luther since chic disbanded. 1987 was her last tour. Ava periodically toured also with Luther initially, but after Alfa left became more permanent, but Alfa was his day one. (As is ava)
      I know this first hand be sure Alfa is my godmother and Luther was very close to us even before change. In fact, I've been to over 25 shows, all courtesy of Luther. Alfa and Luther toured together before Alfa was lead singer for chic.

      I was also lucky enough to speak to him on a one to one, I stopped him in Berkeley Street in London when he was doing his 1987 tour at Wembley. I’d seen him in concert a few days before and there I was chatting to the great man. I got his autograph and it’s been in a frame ever since.

    I was lucky enough to see the king 13 times and everytime he left me speechless and wanting more, he was pure class, in my opinion the greatest male singer that has ever lived! Superstar live at wembley in 88-89 was the pinacle of the performances that I witnessed, there's a note he hits in superstar that is flawless it's near the end of the song when he is singing "your love was impossible" he then sings one note yea, airrrrrrrrrrr, that note just hits one to the core, it was a privilege being there that night, it was the show that was recorded and is available on dvd!

I've witnessed this show a number of times personally in various cites & venues. It's Luther time, y'all.

    From watching a number of videos of Luther lately, it seems that it was around this timeframe ('86-87-ish) that he appeared to be in his prime, looking fabulous and sounding amazing. This was also the same timeframe when he delivered what is arguably, the best performance of his career, when he sang A House is Not a Home, at the 19th annual NAACP Image awards.

    1987 London. I had the pleasure of being there. Lived in Germany at the time. Love this man. Sad that his perceived lifestyle stopped producers from getting him the recognition he so deserved. RIP friend.
