[@Tiptoe-zw2vt]

This is when being classy and talent mattered in music. Total class act.

[@SeanWarren]

Its a shame what they promote to the young people these days. I try to support any artist that is saying something positive.

[@tyronebell4313]

My wife called ME at work crying telling Me Luther had passed

[@GigiCorrado1]

Luther is one in 1 million. Incredible voice, and that smile. Love and miss him but still playing his music every day. Never forget my Luther❤️❤️❤️

[@michaelb5804]

@Lisa Fisher a pure natural gift. Vocal perfection, as always.

[@kylecruel]

The circle of backup singers becoming Grammy performers/ winners continued with Lisa winning only 4 years after this performance and Luther was the 1st person she thanked.

[@jjsteel43]

I wish she was willing to come out and be a lead vocalist like Luther did with the vocals she had but she didn't want to

[@AfrahSings]

Do you know who the other backup singers are in this video?

[@jacobusp.1544]

Maybe Ava Cherry ?​@@AfrahSings

[@tehkiajohnson6567]

I don’t care Luther vandross was and is the best! And his backup sangas always on point!!

[@aftergodsownheart9052]

That lady(Lisa Fischer) with that effortless note!!!! I bet it was total joy singing with them.

[@playjazz87]

Lisa makes me wish I would have gone into backup singing

[@user-vq5gx1qh6c]

I was just surprised he didn't win that night with a voice like that.

[@lorrainegallaugher6553]

Love him and that song, and the amazing Lisa Fisher

[@jazzbrew68]

First live concert ever was Luther Vandross at Kings Dominion in Virginia. Talk about starting at the top! Love and miss you Luther. Never be another like him.

[@tgray8593]

Background is ridiculous...love that concert they did overseas...showcased there vocals.

[@Garcelle1987]

I think it was the show at the royal Albert hall (London) Such an amazing, classic live version of this song 🙌

[@judybramley1736]

Sound quality needs work android.

[@SeanWarren]

Android has nothing to do with it. It was recorded back on VHS in 1987. The tape was old.

[@corneliuswashington-gp1we]

@@SeanWarren ...thank you for posting this...i too had it on VHS when this aired....i loved that LV was so slim and trim wearing that exquisite tux and singing HIS FAVE LV SONG.....mine too....and of course it was effortless.....

[@corneliuswashington-gp1we]

@@SeanWarren ....and i always wondered whos' TUX he was wearing.....he always had great taste in clothes...and i suspect this was BEFORE he became friends with....GIANNI VERSACE....did you know he designed a whole SET...and all the COSTUMES for one of LUTHER'S TOURS....i remember everything with GOLD and WHITE....

[@SeanWarren]

@@corneliuswashington-gp1we I did not know he was friendly with Versace.

[@corneliuswashington-gp1we]
