R.I.P Luther - Your velvet voice that caressed the souls of millions will echo for eternity. A big loss for his fans, a bigger loss to his loved ones.

[@apachette07]

That was such a loving tribute to the great Luther Vandross. It's been two years, and I still can't believe he's gone! There will never be another Luther, and he will be greatly missed.

[@FonzeOnterell]

I love patti's speaking voice even!

[@shannonswift7128]

I feel the same way!

[@corneliapotts5791]

Thank you , Luther Vandross for becoming a singer ! You got me through some hard times, good times, sad times, loving times, tearful times. Thank you for all your music.

[@susanboyle5138]

cornelia potts God bless you rest in peace x

[@sixnine365]

Just give Patti a mic and let her sing. Whatever comes out of her mouth will be exquisite. Her speaking voice is inspirational as well. RIP Luther! Miss you, but happy that you left behind so much of yourself in your music.

All the 29 people that hate this video just never know who Luther was. They just love hip hop and all that other stuff going on today. Patti was a good friend of Luther

[@mschrief]

I still miss Luther. I think about him all the time. He was a class act.

[@SebCarter24]

she's extremely emotionally strong. you can tell at several occasions that she just wants to cry. Respect.

[@ninagoodrich5095]

I miss this man soooo much. He brought love.

[@Marsena]

Luther was one of the classiest performers I've ever heard. Sex appeal without the raunch. I'll truly miss him.

[@italy4blktop]

Luther & Patti....that is all you would have to say...two greats in their own right....one need not know a whole lot about their private lives to know that Luther was one of the most kindest and generous people. Patti has the same reputation, they were and are pure of heart in their music, their message and their legacy...Luther & Patti meant so much to me when i was younger, they were spot-on with their music....the message was always there...Love & Respect...

[@tracyewarren7411]

No sad faces indeed. I'm am honored to have lived in the time Luther was here. Thank you for posting. You do me proud.

RIP to a true icon. Luther recorded a live version of "A House Is Not A Home" that is permenantly stamped on my soul. That brother KNEW he could sho' 'nuff blow. His legacy will live on eternally in the countless hearts he touched for more than a generation. God bless, and one love...

[@bakurawthesupersaiyanhair937]

You too? That's my favorite song by him, I actually prefer it over the studio version.

[@gillabbotson6633]

[@ticklemebad]

She should've hit another verse of that! Spectacular!... and the poem was just lovely!

[@johnm7459]

Luther Whitney Freddie etc how can such talent ever be replaced. RIP Mr Vandross and thank you for the music and the memories.

[@need4HIM]

Luther Vandross had a God-given gift in his voice. It was absolutely amazing...incredible. We appreciate the time he was here. It is sad that we keep losing many people because of their health choices. so many people are going to an early grave with diabetes, and other related problems. Let's do better people so that we can live a long time and enjoy and love each other.

[@TGIZhivargo]

Patti knows just how to lighten a mood, with her casual tone of voice. Even though she got passionate with the reading, she knew how to bring it back down. Didn't get too emotional. And the song was touching and smile-triggering.. Thank-you Patti for that great tribute to Luther. A Talent to a Talent. R.I.P Luther Vandross.

[@goldenralph78]

luther...I miss you so much...and your voice still remains in my heart....PATTI...you are the real soul diva of all times....GOD bless your voice and talent...

[@howarddavid31]

It still hurts to know that Luther is not here anymore. Please rest in peace. You music will live forever in my heart

[@oluwatos1n]

Wow.. watching Luther's Mum (Ida) stay calm and strong as Patti read her (Ida's) poem to her son is so heartbreaking... The pain and hurt she must have been going through. No parent should have to bury their child. "You kept your Promise"... Rest easy Luther and Ida ❤️❤️

[@wild7horse]

Luther is my all time favorite male voice, and Patti is absolutely my all time favorite female voice. They luv each other, I miss Luther, Patti put me in tears with her singing. RIP Luther

[@catboyzee]

Love and miss his earthly presence, but thank goodness we still have his music to play over and over again. Respect and RIP to my fave male R&B singer. Love you LV.

[@Mackon645.]

I was Luther Vandross' room service waiter at Tropicana Casino in AC NJ, He was kind, respectful, and very generous!! He always made us laugh... "Dance with my Father" was my favorite song because i used to Tap dance with my dad. And my dad passed away when that song came out. RIP my friend Luther Vandross' and my Dad...

[@letitrevino7096]

LUTHER VANDROSS WAS A GIFTED MAN WITH ALOT OF TALENT. HE HAD MADE SO MUCH MUSIC IN A SHORT COUPLE OF YEARS AND EVERY SONG WAS A HIT. HE HAS A STRONG VOICE. I LIKE ALL HIS MUSIC HE MADE FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY.

I so much appreciate all that Patti Labelle did in tribute to Luther who was my age and whose death struck me deeply.

[@drelle504]

That poem was so beautiful. Ms. Patti is my girl and I still can't believe that Luther is gone. He had such a tremendous gift. Luther may not be with us physically, but you better believe that his name will most certainly live on. Thank you for sharing your gift, Mr. Vandross.

[@Immaculate201]

Patti LaBelle inviteD LUther to perform with her on her ONE niGht ONLY concert 1998. .They done two Duets that evening. They had a very close friendship. .So i can only imagine how Patti was FEelin right there!

[@kennardbadger2943]

You can tell she wanted to cry at the beginning because her voice was shaking she was fighting back tears

[@Tsholo]

I love Patti and Luther! RIP!

[@1980Triumph]

I feel it when they show his mother, that just breaks me.

[@tomtalker2000]

The man, will & forever will be, THE BEST male vocalist of our time!! For a white boy, with a blessed voice from god, i belt his tunes out, every chance i hear them. With regards, to Ms. Labelle where do i start....She is, at least in my opinion, THE BEST DIVA we have today!!! This was a class act, on her part, to pay tribute to Luther the way in which she did, in this video. God bless you Luther, i hope you are singing with the angels now, as you so rightfully deserve.

[@leelee1947]

I miss him! RIP Luther....your music was truly inspirational.

[@kcj2007uk]

I want to say thank you to the family for letting the rest of the world say goodbye to this beautiful blessed man. I was brought up with Luther and even in to my adulthood, I still had him in my play list!

Damn miss Patty you gave me chills down my spine when you started to sang! you are also a true gift from god! you are an amazing woman and artist. and there will never ever be another Luther god said that was a one time dill, and i enjoyed that mans music and he will forever be loved! THANK YOU! Luther for all the great memories god bless!

[@sukieBoo66]

The World lost a great talent, a great man, and a great human being in Luther's passing. I don't know anyone who doesn't know at least one song or have one favorite. The soundtrack of the lives of many of us here on this site and and the world over has been colored by many of his songs. He will truly be missed and is surely LOVED!!

[@martharobertson1276]

I will always love Luther! There is none other like him! His sound, his music and his style is captivating! I'm glad to have experienced your gift. RIP LUTHER "RONNIE" VANDROSS!

[@Goldenweiser]

Oh my God, that is so touching and emotional. So strong. R.I.P. Luther

[@bakurawthesupersaiyanhair937]

A lot of love for a man that wasn't able to let the world in on his own views. I only know like 5 songs by heart but those 5 songs are pretty important. I'm sure that if is able to look at the world from wherever he is, he'd be more than satisfied to know that we're still singing and dancing to his songs. "If this world were mine" I wish people like him could've experienced that without the ridicule of the world.

[@superbatfirenze]

isn't this woman a pure talent ? ooohhh yeeeaaahhh!!!!! and luther vandross ,he wasn't big at all in italy,where i am,but having another example by someone who was homosexual,talented in many ways and almost forced to hide himself till the day he died,it just empowers me to be myself no matter what,and let my talents show up,thanx luther may you rest in peace
