Thanks for posting this. I just finished reading Luther, the Life and Longing of Luther Vandross and the author refers to this moment at Luther's funeral as especially beautiful. It was.

Agreed, I just gave it a good Amazon review. Luther lived an amazing, yet painful life. I thought the author gave him a fitting tribute.

No wonder why Whitney got the voice she had.

I recognize some of the choir members from Whitney's service .. they must be from New Hope Baptist (NJ)

Well it shouldn't be sad, Cissy is from another era and drugs have never tempted Cissy. Anyway Whitney many times said her mom could outsing her and now that is evident.

@mapeps25 well maybe you should watch many countless interviews of Whitney talking about her mom then you will understand where I'm comming from pal.

Yes yor right but I'd do some homework before thinking Whitney is better than her mom. Even Whitney herself would set you str8 on that record.

Is this the same church that whitney's funeral was at. Is that John Houston's funeral?
@charlesjeffery11556 жыл бұрын
thr33wisemonks no this is n New York City, Cissy had Whitney's at her home church where Whitney had been raised at, and did her first solo, That the New Hope Baptist church in Newark New Jersey, that church only holds 1500, this one is much bigger

Couple of octaves? No, Whitney hasn't lot a COUPLE of octaves. But she hasn't sung any C6 since early 1990's. Even though her voice has gone more heavy and raspy at some parts, she still can sing. But no, Whitney hasn't lost a couple of octaves.
