    That song was sung or played at thousands of weddings in the 90s. But Luther has dozens of beautiful songs. His voice is not only powerful, but one of the best ever to record, he does so many musical "gymnastics" with his voice, that no other singer can duplicate.. He died to soon. AND he is not "old skool". His songs have Never stopped selling. You should go into his catalogue. He has NEVER made a bad song. In fact, I can't think of my favorite because there are so many . (Although a personal favorite is a collaboration with Gregory Hines, "There's Nothing Better Than Love", absolutely beautiful.)

    Fun fact Luther Vandross started out as a backing vocalist from Roberta Flack. (LV opened up a Patti Labelle fan club in high school, he sang for Donnie Hathaway. He co wrote Fascination with David Bowie and went on tour with him as Davids backup vocalist in the 70s. he continued singing backing vocals for amazing artists such as Chaka Khan, Bette Midler, Diana Ross, Carly Simon, Barbra Streisand, Ringo Starr, Sister Sledge, and Donna Summer.
    Luther also wrote and sang commercial jingles from 1977 until the early 1980s, for companies such as Mountain Dew, KFC, Burger King, and Juicy Fruit.
    It wasn't until 1980 that Luther finally released his debut album Never Too Much in 1981, with his first song Never too Much. He died 1st July 2005, he had a massive stroke in 2003 and was in a coma for nearly 8weeks, and the stroke affected his ability to talk and sing and never performed again. His last ever single to be released was a cover of Marvin gaye song Whats going on, and his last song he wrote and recorded was Dance with my father. Unfortunately Luther had a stroke before he ever got the change record this song live and there is no videos of him singing DWMF song. 😢

    Wasn't that just beautiful! Brings back such happy memories. His name is pronounced Luther Vandross with a long "o" sound. I am amazed when I listen to the old songs how tender the words are and respectful of women. Today woman are often so objectified and the lyrics are downgrading them to a body part or making you believe all women want money. Rarely is tender love expressed. Think about it, if tender love is expressed in the songs we hear it then teaches people how to express tender love in their relationships. It makes me sad that the vast majority of love songs today are about breaking up and the bitterness that comes with it. I know those songs have a valuable place in music history, but so do the tender ones. The songs about being in each others arms and promising forever. So beautiful! You guys are doing a great job keep up the good work. I love your comments and hearing your perspective, so fresh and unique.

    So when Ruben did appear on Idol people saw him as a new Luther Vandross. That's why everyone took to him so quickly. I didn't realize Luther was only 54 when he died. He obviously had an amazing voice. I don't remember a lot of his hits because I wasn't a huge fan of those slow jam type R&B songs. But he was pretty much the go-to guy for that at the time. I sometimes imagine that there's a big gay choir up in heaven with people like him and George Michael and Freddie Mercury, etc. That Choir Director could pump the brakes before taking everyone so soon though.

    Might I suggest "Superstar", "A House Is Not A Home, "Bad Boy/Having A Party", "So Amazing", "There's Nothing Better Than Love with Gregory Hines, "If Only For One Night/Creep", "Any Love" and "Stop To Love" to name a few. If possible, listen to the live versions.

    How he sang “Together” was a transition from his chest voice to his head voice (falsetto), he was a master of this vocal technique. And Patti Labelle was another master of vocal tricks for sure. They both could (Patti still can) change their tone and voice placement on the fly which is a technique few have mastered.

    Luther live in his tribute concert for Dionne Warwick is legendary-utter blockbuster of stupendousness. Dionne is left in tears and Janet Jackson is awed. We all are. “A House is Not A Home”.

    I remember exactly where I was when I heard that Luther died. It was Labor Day weekend, I was in the kitchen cooking with my daughter and had the radio on. I couldn’t understand why they were playing all Luther songs until the DJ came on after about the fourth song and talked about his life in passing. It really bothered me… Not just because I loved his music, talk about iconic. But I also felt he was true blue to himself and who he was, it was a sad day. So glad we have this music to listen to.

    If y'all know Gregory Hines (Actor), he did a duet with Luther Vandross called "There's Nothing Better Than Love" that is awesome. Also he has the best duet of all time with Cheryl Lynn called "If This World Were Mine".

    Luther was a modern-day crooner. I'm surprised that you didn't pick up on that. His concerts were always a treat. I saw him at his last concert, which wqas on Valentine's Day. It was at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. He performed all of his hits that he made over his 25-30 year career.
