Lyrics:
When I say goodbye it is never for long
'Cause I know our love still lives on
It will be again exactly like it was
'Cause I believe in the power of love
When you're close I can feel the power
When it's love I can always tell
Love for me is the best thing now
It's something that I know so well
Hold me closer and every minute
Of every hour, feel the power of love, yeah
Hold me tighter and take me higher
And feel the fire of the power of love
Luther Vandross was a musical master whose style has influenced an entire generation of today's vocalists. His distinctive brand of satin smooth vocal magic moved international audiences and continues to touch people to this day. For almost 25 years, from 1981 to 2005, Luther Vandross dominated the American R&B music charts like no other artist before or since. In that span he released eight #1 R&B albums, seven #1 R&B singles and another five Top 20 R&B singles. He achieved crossover status with eight Billboard Top 10 albums, including reaching #1 with 2003's Dance With My Father; and another five Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 singles.

God only made one Luther.Thank God we can still enjoy his music.

[@nicholasnicolaou1499]

The greatest male vocalist ever to have graced us. Absolute pure utter vocal perfection. Rest in Peace Sir❤️❤️❤️

[@edensummer1168]

I always said no-one could sing a song like Luther...and no-one has come close to it for me.

[@younggod3906]

NOBODY, EVER!!! 😁

[@danicaabboud]

No one can match Luther period!

[@tmalone2530]

Amen. No one can come close to that voice.

[@truecrime_and_everything_else]

[@nancyferranti7690]

There is no one , no voice that will ever come close to Luther’s !!! No one !!!!

[@Passion_4_Fashion-p4t]

Whitney Houston as well. Luther & Whitney were & are still fantastic. Such losses I wish we didn't have.

[@dmartinez069]

I was showing my Z daughter what real music was like the other night. Luther V was in that category. One of the greatest.

[@LIVASheirlooms]

A real singer. No autotune, no filters, just sweet smooth vocal perfection!

[@obinao.o5819]

The best male vocalist in the entire world, incomparable.

[@victorialarue7409]

I totally agree with you! He was simply the best!

[@deneenjeffries2768]

The man could just flat out sing! And had some of the best backup singers in the Buisness !

[@stevewynn9289]

Deneen Jeffries That’s because he started his career as a backup singer. He was a perfectionist in that way. He sung backup to some of the biggest superstars. In fact he sung background for David Bowie’s Young Americans.

[@danicaabboud]

Lisa Fisher enough said! Luther the ultimate singer

[@EROOMASM]

I used to play his CDs all the time. Now I just pull his music up on You Tube. I had a multi player, CD, AM/FM and the small cassettes in my bedroom and I'd put his music on and jump out of bed in the dark and dance to his music. Those were the days.

[@derickroman3306]

shoe, HE was once. "One of the best back gr ......ness ."..... he deserved it

[@tmalone2530]

His backup singers were truly amazing.

[@sharonmix9211]

Your mood can't stay down if you listen to Luther!! We lost him way too soon!!!

[@thebordernow]

One of the most energetically uplifting songs, sung by one of the most effortless and emotionally sincere singers.

[@Ostipherous]

That distinctive tonal quality.. Luther's voice is pure magic.

[@sacredeyez90]

I saw his last tour in Atlanta and seeing him on video ... the man opened his mouth and had perfect pitch. Live and on record was the same. I've never understood how one hears a note inside their head and just hits it effortlessly without adjusting.

[@masonboi0106]

100

[@samueldoesosu627]

❤

[@Itiswhatitis7884]

Amazing talent, just amazing. His voice was one of one. Doesn’t matter what song, his voice elevates it. Rest well Luther… 🙏🏾

[@Cotygeek]

I used to say Luther Vandross was the black Frank Sinatra, but he was more than that. He was Luther Vandross.

[@chrischemist]

+Cotygeek better that frankie... thats correct.

[@bd3825]

You were actually downgrading him. Luther is a versatile singer of note. There is no better male vocalist that will ever top him.

[@anthonyholley2796]

Why couldn't Frank Sinatra be the Black Luther Vandross

[@liolef7403]

Sinatra is the Voice, Luther is the Soul

[@robinlooney5440]

Luther was a gifted vocalist there is NO comparison between Luther and Sinatra.

[@Listening4n0w]

This mans voice was FLAWLESS!!!

[@pamelatouchstone6009]

Luther Vandross, is a true legend, he has thee most incredible voice, may he RIP, and he is truly amazing.

[@tammiwheeler9257]

Luther was the one and only! No body could touch that!!

[@kareneverett125]

No one sings like Luther - Love this song !!!!

[@shanicephillips9170]

[@cmrdeaconblues]

I was blessed to see Luther live many times, starting with his 1st US tour, and then his subsequent tours after each album. It's a catch 22, because I got to see those untouchable shows, but man I miss not being able to have seen him more. It's easy to take for granted that someone will be here, and then they're not 😢

[@nathanselley1109]

Talking about forgetting to change his shirt, and then going straight back into the song, pitch perfect. Pure Class.

[@edmondmwebembezi6859]

exactly!

[@angushight7084]

The man's voice is timeless. Luther you will always be the best. Rest In Peace. Thank you for your power, projecting such a wonderful soul .

[@deborahbabuta1527]

Nobody compares to Luther Vandross. I cry every time I hear this beautiful man sing. ❤️♥️

I dare you to watch this man perform and not smile! RIP Mr Vandross

[@joycejohnson4380]

crying can't hardly take that this talent is gone rip

[@valhalla7408]

joyce johnson I’m crying too.

[@bbmmbbmm7851]

Yes, when think of what we have today, not to say there aren't talented artist, BUT NEVER A LUTHER. FACTS!

[@SandraShelton-p1u]

I think this man was amazing. There will never be another one like him. The way he could manipulate and control his smooth and silky voice was one of the most "BREATHTAKING" qualities he possessed as a male vocalist. I do snd will forever miss him ♥️

[@kazza157]

we miss you so much,me and my sister suzi are twins from england.you have got me through most of my darkest times of my life along with all your fab backing crew.i have been very near suicide and beleive me swear on the holy cross of our lord you have all got me through it with your fantastic talents and music.god bless you all

[@angushight7084]

brian mccoy . Amen to that.

[@MzJanuary]

This song has always been so inspirational to me. Was going through some rough times when this came out in '91 and the message was something I needed to hear at that point....I always wanted to thank Luther for that if I ever met him. I never did, but I hope he knows how much he was loved and appreciated by so many. I miss him immensely. Rest on, babe

[@andrewbenning9270]

LUTHER VANDROSS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE IN MY EYES THE MOST AMAZING SINGER THERE EVER WAS. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE SEEN HIM LIVE IN THE UK. HE WAS AMAZING. BUT LIKE MOST PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS THAT HE HAD DIED MY LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. BUT WHEN MICHAEL JACKSON ALSO DIED MY LIFE WENT OUT THE WINDOW.

[@jamesjscorpio34]

Two of the greatest, gone. They made the world better.

[@concretepoo]

Wow not many artists sound better live than on album, but he sure does!!!! SUPERB!!!

[@mysteria5705]

0:57 - 1:04 So angelic that I felt every moment of that. And the big teddy bear of a man dancing always makes me smile.

[@cathyhuntley957]

A true ICON. There is not another.

[@reneeperry687]

Extraordinary performer, one of a kind voice, fabulous. Miss him, what a talent!!

[@MC-tt4mw]

Wish he was still alive and his prime to sing this at the Super Bowl. Tell the crowd to look to person next them and shake their hand or give them a hug. The country needed that. Black, white, Hispanic, gay, straight, red, blue etc. we all have the power of love

[@Daequanbeats]

I love this song so much. Luther Had an amazing voice. It feels like I'm listening to a CD.

[@selenanielson7306]
