Luther died way to soon. His voice was amazing. Dance With My Father Again is another of his great story songs.
a truly beautiful song!
no lie this dude is now my fav UA-camr i watch him when i smoke ua-cam.com/video/kPznVA-yANk/v-deo.html ////
I watched my own father pass. I cannot listen to that song without collapsing into a puddle of tears.
@@johnj2763 I was flown back to the states from Afghanistan to see my father before he passed. I had 20 minutes together before he drew his last breath. This song is therapy for me when I'm feeling down.
@@chrismadden132 Bless you dude. It's therapy for me also but in a different manner. It just breaks my heart over again.
“A House is not a Home” live is a must watch.
Yes.. a classic!! The live version with Dionne Warwick BET version!!
@@1stltwife YES!!! The BEST!!! He is amazing!!
YES!
I Agree! I believe I emailed it to them.
@@1stltwife That song REALLY shows what he can do with his voice and just how "cool" he was.
Luther Vandross is the ballad king. He didn't have many uptempo hits, but "Never Too Much" is straight fire.
Im partial to the Best Things In Life Are Free myself, as well as a his version of Macfadden & Whitehead's Ain't No Stoppin Us Now
'Stop To Love' is great too.
Two other good songs bad boys /having a party. Till my baby comes home! Both of them are on the more upbeat side of Luther who I think has the purest smooth voice! The goat!
Luther def poured it all into his uptempos as well. “Shine” and “Grown Thangz” are at the top of my list of many
Don't forget "The Best Things In Life Are Free" with Janet, and "Glow of Love" with Change as well as his rendition of "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now"
Luther's voice is absolute VELVET!
Personally for me. No one ever had a voice like Luther. So so amazingly talented. Miss his voice. 💕 Amber is right. Sweet and soulful.
So true Laney!😀😀
I always thought of silk. If silk had a voice, his would be it. Sweet and soulful is probably better,
"So Amazing" 💜💜🎶💜💜
Wanya Morris for me
Well said
Back in the day, Luther was jokingly charged with being responsible for an uptick in the population whenever he released a new record. ☺️😉🙃👍❤️
You would be surprise at how many ladies, I dedicated this song to in the clubs in the 80's.
For sure, also responsible for that would be Marvin Gaye
@@TT-js4jn Also don't forget Teddy Pendergrass.
@@stevenwoodward5923 and the maestro himself........BARRY WHITE
So many people played this at their wedding
When Luther passed away it was like losing a piece of my heart. Love in the world isn't the same without him.
You don't just listen to Luther, you feel Luther, you experience Luther.
A critic for the Village Voice (I think) once wrote that hearing Luther's voice coming from the radio was like turning on the water in the kitchen and having champagne come out. Love you guys ☮❤
Fantastic analogy!🎙🥂
@@maryannturton9830 So true, and wish my kitchen sink did that 😂!
“Dance with my father” , “A house is not a home”, duet with Gregory Hines “There’s nothing better than love”.
Yes!!!
@@1stltwife lol I played There’s nothing better than love nonstop.
PLEASE react to Luther Vandross “A House is Not a Home” Also Luther Vandross & Gregory Hines Duet “There’s Nothing Better than Love” both are SO Good!!
That vocal inflection is commonly just called a "break".
He also has a very distinct vibrato.
RIP legend. Yall gotta do "A House is Not a Home" and it must be the live version from the NAACP awards. That one is one of the finest displays of vocal ability I've ever heard in my life.
Absolutely agree! Classic Luther Vandross.
Couldn’t agree more, absolutely astounding performance. Saw Luther live twice in London, the man brought me to tears in both occasions. Such a loss to the world of music. Burt Bacharach said Luther had the best voice he ever heard.
Which was a tribute to Dionne Warwick..that performance was his whole repertoire on his singing abilities..
As already stated, Luther Vandross singing his version of Dionne Warwick's "A House is Not a Home" live at the NAACP Image Awards might be the greatest live vocal performance ever.
How do you know if something is the best ever when you’ve only heard a fraction of the competition?
@@jmcc2275 Your first mistake is thinking music is a competition. It's not. It's art meant to enjoy. If you're listening to music as competition between artists you're missing the point of the art. Anyway, I base my opinion on having listened to music from all genres going back generations before I was born. I have no problem with you not agreeing. Enjoy what you like.
@@jmcc2275 Have you fully heard Luther voice live? That voice alone is beast mode and live rendtions is actually better than his recorded songs. No one tops this man vocally, he's Never had a sub-par performance....
Please do react to this live performance!!!
A House is not a Home was Burt Bacharach's.
My wedding song. My husband and I were active military and had a justice of peace in 88. In 1990, we were able to have a formal wedding with the dress, cake, flowers. Still married. Celebrated 33 years. Luther is my jam! So many classics. He is a legend. Ask your elders. My husband Still sings this to me! Talent beyond..❤🧡💛💚💙🤎💖💖💖
same here. Hubs and I both in the Navy in 1992. Our wedding song.
Our wedding song. June 1992.
@@Hyacinth000 USN stationed Norfolk NOB and CINCLANTFLT. Hubby was LDO but Boatswainsmate before. I was a PN! Great minds think alike shipmate!
This was my wedding song in 1990...
Luther is the GOAT❤
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.)
He was phenomenal. You 2 previously heard the Carpenters do their hit Superstar. You really need to hear Luther's remake, absolutely fantastic.
Larry Grahams, ONE IN A MILLION, is a phenomenal song!
Drake's uncle!
Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!
It sure is and it was a BIG hit.
, Yes and Amber is going to love his deep voice 🙂🙂🙂
Yes, A great song. But Luther has dozens of great songs.
Ladies and gentlemen....Pure vocal PERFECTION 🥰
A Voice like Silk. RIP Luther. We sure miss you. x
You are just getting started with Luther.
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.
I saw Ruben sings Luther Vandross last year. Old jams and closing my eyes, I felt like Luther was there. Silky smooth!!!
Well u better start listening to all his great music!
Ha ha,yes indeed
He's probably my favorite male vocalist of all time. His voice still gives me goosebumps.
Luther live...A House is not a home. His pure sweet voice. An audience full of music icons. He was so loved. Btw. You two are by far the best at what you do here. I watch a lot of reaction vids. My favorites right here!
Dance with my father again is a great Luther song it'll bring a man to tears
Dance With My Father may make you cry. Luther singing Dionne Warwick's song, A House is Not a Home, to her at an awards show live is without a doubt a must watch, Luther was amazing that day with the vocal gymnastics, and Dionne and everyone else including Janet Jackson in the audience was in awe. Luther was gone too soon from us.
Makes me cry every time
Not since the great Sam Cooke was storming the airwaves has there been anyone with the kind of "vocal gymnastics" to come close....till Luther!
My sister can’t listen to this one, because she remembers dancing with our father at her wedding to “Hero”. One favorite moment in time..😢
Greatest voice ever for romance. RIP you beautiful man.
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.
Luther's voice is just sublime, its heaven on earth. This track isnt one of his greatest, try So Amazing, Never Too Much, I Wanted Your Love, Impossible Dream, A House Is Not A Home to name a few. Witnessing Luther sing live in concert was an amazing experience and something never to be forgotten.
“Searching,” from when he was with the band Change
I can not listen to A House Is Not A Home with clear eyes. Somebody starts cutting onions every time that song plays.
I swear Luther doesn’t have a bad song! My favorite is Dance with My Father, I bawl my eyes out through the whole song ❤️
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.
I would put Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey in that category, as well.
You Seriously have to listen to his live version of, A house is not a home!! He is an angel!
This WAS the wedding song for years. 😁
Luther is the best. Other Luther songs you guys should listen to are: Listen to Dance with My Father, Never Too Much and my absolute fave, his Christmas Song Every Year, Every Christmas.
I second Dance With My Father!
I would drive down the road when Dance with My Father came on the radio and cry like a baby!!
His rendition of “Impossible Dream” gives me chills.
Definitely “Never Too Much!”
I'm so happy Luther made his way into your lives!!! Every song he lent his magnificent voice to is worth listening to...what talent!
This man was one of the few R&B singers (in my opinion) who sound even better live! Amazing and lost way to soon :(
His song 'Dance With My Father' will always be my father's song for me. Love Luther Vandross for that gift.
Jordan gotta play Marvin Gaye,-(Let's get it on) for our girl Amber. Can't play Luther without hearing Marvin Gaye.
My head will explode if they don't know Marvin Gaye
Marvin is the man
I was so sad when he passed away. He has that special gift that doesn't come around often. We were so fortunate to have his beautiful voice to listen to. I love all his songs. One of my favorites is Dance With My Father. When I'm missing my papa, I will listen to it. 🙏❤
Oooh yea! Luther was the Man ! This came out in 1985 check out his 1988 performance on the NAACP awards paying tribute to Dionne Warwick singing her 1964 A House is not a Home
Smooth voice 🙂
Voice is like silk on satin
I'm from GEN X and it never gets old watching these younger generations discover the music we grew up with......😊
Nobody else is like Luther. A voice like pure gold!
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.
I cried like a baby the day he died.
Love Luther! Gone too soon 😪 listen to "Dance with my father"
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”.
Luther's voice was so smooth it gives you chills and this is a world-class composition and love song!
Luther Vandross, Barry White, Teddy Pendergrass! They all sang what we called
"Baby Make'n Music"!
He had a beautiful voice
This was THE Wedding ANTHEM of the times!!! Yessss!! So much Luther to Enjoy!!
Luther is a legend. He had so many hits & an amazing voice. My favorites: “If this world was mine” (duet with Cheryl Lynn) & “A House is Not A Home”.
My favorite song and my favorite duet
LUTHER !! Saw him a couple of times. You will not regret this rabbit hole !!
He was awesome 👌👍
Luther is all about making your heart melt with that smooth voice.
One of my all time favorite performers. His voice was pure gold!
Have you listened to Luther Vandross cover “Always and Forever” with Mariah Carrey? It was originally done by a group called “Heatwave.” The Heatwave version has been my and my husband’s “song” since 1977. We will celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary this coming April. Both versions are excellent so please, react to both.
I like em’ both... but I love Heatwave’s version, by far.
So happy you are doing a true legend!!!
One of the greatest singing voices of all-time. He is just a legend!!!
Luther Vandross was so talented, and sang so beautifully.
You should really look at "Dancing With My Father". It's a very emotionally charged song
If your planning a Christmas theme during the Christmas season please react to Luther Vandross "oh come all ye faithful " His version gives me chills . It's so beautiful.
I really think the world would be a better place right now if we only had love songs like this now.
This was my first dance song at my wedding in 1991. I still love it. It’s timeless, beautiful and full of emotion.
That was really good man
Started his career as a backing singer for David Bowie.
Luther also sang with the group Change, and sang and arranged backing vocals for David Bowie’s Young Americans album. I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert. He had TWO groups of background singers. That’s how important they were to him. Check out his live performances on UA-cam.
"A house is not a home" by Luther live encompasses everything Luther was!
So talented!!!!🤘🔥
His best song is "Never To Much"
I use to sing for a lot of weddings before I became an event/wedding planner and this was a really popular wedding song for quite a few years as well as his song Always and Forever. Another similar artist is Brian McKnight. His song Back To One is beautiful. It has an amazing piano intro!
Oh Brian McKnight!!! Yes!!
Luther is a legend!
Dance with my father is great, power of love, there’s nothing better than love, never too much, a house is not a home etc. you can’t go wrong with his voice
One of the best voices of all time. Listen to "If only for one night". Perfection.
Great reaction. BTW, this is a HUGE wedding tune! Also, my favorite Luther song is "Dance With My Father". It's a tribute to his father who had passed away. Amber, it'll floor you.
Loved Luther. Missing his voice. He was one of a kind.. God gave him that special gift! ❤❤
Luther has a lot of great songs.
" Here and Now " has been played at thousands and thousands of weddings.
As someone who worked as a wedding DJ for awhile, I can assure you that TONS of people used this song as first dances at wedding receptions! It was a "must have" song in all our playlists!
You should do "Dance With My Father" and "A House Is
not A Home."
RIP Luther - you were definitely one of the greatest of all time.
one the finest gentle male voices in R&B
A true legend that we lost way too soon.
Please react to some Barry White or Marvin Gaye.
Luther was an amazing talent taken from us way too soon. I really liked his rendition of "If this world were mine" sung with Cheryl Lynn.
Luther was a legend!!! Fantastic!!! 🤗❤✌🏼
One of the most powerful voices ever!! So much range and control...
His soulful voice is one of the best ever, but if you want one of his more upbeat songs, check out "Stop to Love". It's a great 80s tune. I would also recommend Billy Ocean ("Caribbean Queen", "Loverboy", "Suddenly", "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car"). Great smooth 80s R&B.
Billy Ocean had some great hits during the 70' and 80' and he's still going strong and performing! My favorite song of him is Red Light Spells Danger. It gives so much energy.
His best song, in my opinion, is "A House is Not a Home!" It's absolutely amazing, especially the live version.
Luther, Luther, Luther....one of the greatest voices ever....he is really missed
The joy on your faces was priceless :)
In the 80’s this song and the duet of Lionel Richie and Diana Ross endless love were the 1 And 1A of wedding songs
I was fortunate to see Luther in concert before he passed. He sounds exactly the same live. Beautiful voice! His opening act was Shirley Murdock. Check out her hit "As We Lay".
This song was a wedding standard in the 80s. I was a wedding singer during that time. Loved Luther Vandross. His death was a huge loss in the R&B genre. Great singer.
👏🙌❣️Luther🔥 "A House is Not a Home" is a must listen! 💯💯
Just stumbled across your channel and I just love your vibes, Luther was my favourite RnB singer growing up in the eighties. His live performance of " A House is Not a Home " is exceptional and I think you will love it too. Just subscribed, Blessings from Jamaica!
Luther Vandross' voice is Legendary for how amazing it is. You MUST check out his live version of 'A House Is Not A Home'. That song depicts the depths of his vocal talent. And that rabbit hole is DEEEEEP guys. I cannot wait for more Luther Vandross reaction by you.
He has a beautiful voice. One of the greatest singers.
Another amazing voice! Outstanding choice! Love your reactions as always!
For many years this was THE wedding song, and is still occasionally played at weddings. There was no one like Luther, one of the last R&B crooners with a direct lineage to Sam Cooke. Luther is my favorite pop singer of his generation and is certainly one of, if not, the best. Watch him doing his live cover version of "A House Is Not A Home" from the BET awards. Then listen to him doing "The Glow Of Love" and "Searching" with the group Change, and his solo work such as "Don't You Know That", "Give Me The Reason", "Never Too Much", his last hit "Dance With My Father", and his beautiful cover version of Leon Russell's "Superstar".
Luther has one of the greatest voices. Of all of the songs he made, he never had one that wasn't a hit. A singer that you could listen to over & over again. You need to hear "Dance With My Father Again" Just make sure you have your tissues handy!
I've been hoping that you would dig into Luther pretty soon!!! He was so SMOOTH!
What I also love about Luther songs is that his songs always seem to have the best backup vocal parts. They're always so fun and beautiful and with marvelous harmonies. Given he was once a backup singer, I think it's wonderful that his arrangements made lots of room for his backup artists to get to do more than the usual and truly shine. When I saw him in concert, he even did a duet with one of his backup singers and it was GORGEOUS. I love that he highlighted their talents as well as his own. He was a class act.
