Luther was a very rare breed he had the ability to transform you to any place in space and time, and he was a beautiful soul bless him

[@pointpleasant6708]

The way Luther Vandross transformed a song into his signature was the BEST. He took a song and made it his own…..and always BETTER than the original. He was a multi-talented artist. I miss him terribly.

[@letitiataylor2167]

Not better than the original. Johnnie Wilder is a beast himself! Luther Vandross has a wonderful voice!

[@melodysanger103]

Once he'd "LUTHERIZE" a song, it was his 💙

[@bungle3912]

Bar none, the greatest male voice of all time.

[@AafiasNaani22]

Absolutely 💯 love him❤ also michael jackson was exceptional.❤

[@TOO_Trippy]

Thank you. Tgere are alot of heavy hitters but to me Luther was at the top

[@taushakelly]

If someone could just do a Documentary about Luther!!! It's Long Overdue 💜

[@susmayhorn]

There’s one coming out from Sony called Luther: Never Too Much, directed by Dawn Porter!! I just saw it last night at a film festival and it’s fantastic. I can’t wait for new generations to see how talented this man was :)

Luther had a great sense of humor!

What a tremendous human being Luther was, I miss the energy that is so lacking in the world today

[@patienceogbeide5843]

I smiled all through watching this. Luther Vandross is always and forever himself!

[@KAT-wo1js]

Luther!!! Voice was smooth as butter and he sang so effortlessly! Man, many of the best are gone on! Well Done Luther!

[@mikel4531]

This man... beyond words. Luther was an amazing vocalist, songwriter and producer. His personality was beautiful. He's the best male voice of all time to me and the King of R&B/Soul 👑💖✨

I miss Luther amazing voice gone to soon RIP!

The Greatest Vocalist Of All Time Luther Vandross...One Love Fam...

[@steliosc.4686]

Such a complete voice. It had everything. EVERYTHING!!!!

[@KosmasMJpec]

One of the best voice I've ever listened. I always come back and listen to Too young and other songs that he sang and I found about him at 30.But I listen series before his songs but I didn't know about him. Bless you, wherever you are Luther Vandros! And thank you..

[@mikemathieson3700]

This guy is just a phenomenal vocalist, such a beautiful voice and tone.

[@mikemathieson3700]

Hi delivery and accuracy is spot on....what a singer.

[@knockshinnoch1950]

I was lucky enough to see Luther in concert twice. He was exceptional! The level of professionalism, musicianship and vocal expertise was truly outstanding. I've attended many concerts in my 61years and Luther is by far the greatest male singer I've seen.

[@luckynhlanhlatshabalala2475]

You are my name indeed.

[@marywicker8148]

He thus far is the GOAT❤

[@JJenkins06095]

Greatest Of ALL Time!

[@munachiscoc]

He made a huge impression on my life that I named my only son Vandross. People think I'm weird but I'm proud to have come across this man's music. So for context, I told my family, play Luther's "the impossible dream" in my death bed and see me wake up!

[@miss4330]

My two favorite male vocalists are Luther and Sam Cooke.

[@randihackney4830]

Luther seemed like such a sweet, likable man. His voice was liquid gold ✨️ one of a kind. My 1st dance with my husband at our wedding was to Here and Now. RIP LUTHER

It does look like we all slept on the job because how did we all miss taking absolute care for such GOLD. We all now cry over spilt milk. Listening to you songs Luther is now the only consolation. Miss you. Rest in everlasting peace.

😢🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@soundseeker63]

The host lady is right, his voice cuts like a hot (golden) knife through butter. So smooth, so elegant, so rich and warm. Plus he's really quite funny and charming when he's not singing too. An all round class act and just a nice guy.

[@atmybest4]

If only we had gotten that Luther and Whitney duet he mentioned during the interview. That would have been EPIC!

[@jasonrwolf4499]

This interview was great to watch- Luther so relaxed and I see a lot of mannerisms that just popped out if one knows what to look for. Luther was a closeted man and felt he had to be 1) because he wanted to make his mom proud and create less drama 2) he felt that his ability to create his music would be a distraction to his audience especially the ladies who just loved his delivery of his music and lastly artists who were openly gay typically in those years lost their careers due to stigma and discrimination. Today he would be embraced by so many if he were an openly gay man so when he created or re-envisioned a song a lot of his music is a message of yearning for love or the difficulties of being alone. His voice carried weight to the truths we all seek, acceptance and love. You are the power of love Luther, love power.

[@Max529-i2n]

He was so relatable, poised, and charismatic here. I love this interview. A legendary singer and a good spirit.

[@Cas82958]

He was very comfortable with her. She asked all the right questions.

[@bealestreet3840]

He was superb, the only man who makes me cry listening to his voice. R.I.P.

[@Vejur9000]

One of the all time great voices. A master, was Luther.

[@Just-Princess]

What a treat! Just relaxing on a Sunday morning and came across this interview. Luther sadly passed when I was a young girl. So, while I knew and loved his voice and music I don't recall ever seeing him interviewed. He had a beautiful and fun spirit. I sense some low self esteem regarding his looks/weight. I wish he knew that he was beautiful. Not only that, whether slim or not, he had a gift that was so much more meaningful than a 34 inch waist. So special, and absolutely gone too soon. Rest Luther 🤍.

[@ricksegal3065]

One of the greatest voices of all time!!!

[@davidbell7435]

The Greatest of all time hands down

Lovely interview! Apart from being an incredible singer and musician he was a really intelligent and thoughtful man. RIP Luther!

[@dijonay971]

He was so funny! I didn't know that about him... genuinely seems like a lovely man.

Smile lit up the room. Sweetest man

[@hollyfranzen9692]

Omg, who is this lady? I have never seen her! She is clearly kind of too bougie to know David Bowie, which is hilarious, but she actually did a bunch of research on Luther. This was not a bad interview at all, and I think she pulled it off splendidly Luther was divine, as expected. Thank you so much for posting this gem!

[@laurashevtsov262]

Her name is Dini Petty, a Canadian tv host.

[@lynettecomma3998]

I wanted to say something. One day I will be dead and gone. You cannot copy an original. But I learned to sing more efficiently, just by listening to Luther's music. Young people, you can do that to. Luther will be in heaven, hope to see you people there. Dec 2023.

This was a beautiful interview

He's funny and I love his crispy voice...

[@normaadebiyi5569]

I must add that the guy was gorgeous I always wondered if he knew just how Blessed he was, apart from having the ability to sing so beautifully and touch so many people, he still managed to Truthful to himself,?

[@normaadebiyi5569]

correction, )he managed to be Truthful to himself

[@ALBERT-v5n]

We dismissed it because his singing was elite. But, it was pretty obvious which team he played for.

[@amstrongmonday6488]

He thought me accent,pronunciation and vocabulary.

[@CocoChanelle-1]

First time I heard him talk about the death of one of his siblings.

[@ninagates3390]

that control and power!! unbeatable

[@amriaye7593]

The most beautiful singer ever...no one will ever compare rip Luther

[@Ray3645]

Aside from his sheer talent, he seems like a very kind person.

[@Cwm368]

I cringed when the audience member asked Luther if he had a woman... at least he was honest and said, no. He handled it very well.

[@owlie14]

I can only imagine what was going through his head at that moment.

[@suziejackson245]

@@owlie14 I thought just the same... but well done to him for not giving anything away. You'd think his fans (which presumably they were in the audience) would have known or that the questions were vetted before hand, which is usually the case to avoid embarrassment etc. What a true gent though, manners, style, class and a voice that just melts!

[@jody024]

It was revealed he was gay later on. In private he had admitted it too according to witness statement by people who were closest to him. Sadly, he felt he was better off not publicly coming out to not disappoint his female fans.

Luther Vandross though you're physically here with us, we still feel the aura of your presence as though you're still here. You've immortalized yourself and have proven your worth. You've always proved yourself and weight. You're a maestro, a genius, and you've carved a niche for yourself.
