VERY favorite Luther song. He was such a treasure. Luther had terrible stage fright and dealt with wildly fluctuating weight issues. Often losing, then regaining 200 lbs. For years, he was too afraid of a solo/headlining career, and sang commercial jingles and back-up for many, including David Bowie, Chaka Khan, Barbara Streisand, Carly Simon, Bette Midler, and Donna Summer. ✌🎶

Technically, Luther had a few R&B hits before this, but not under his own name. He was singing lead for bands. Such as "Hot Butterfly" (Gregg Diamond Bionic Boogie), "Got To Have Your Body" (New York City Band), & 2 songs by Change: "Searchin" & "The Glow Of Love". I don't think a lot of people know this, but Luther sings the first line on the song "Brand New Day" from the 1978 movie "The Wiz". He's not actually in the movie though. Before he started his own career, he was a part of a choir that appeared in one of the very early seasons (around 1970) of "Sesame Street". I don't know if it's still up, but there was a clip on KZbin years ago.

World-renowned bass player, Marcus Miller played a prominent role on Luther's first few albums which have a soulful, funky, fresh, bouncy feel on the up tempo cuts, mainly due to Marcus' contributions as bassist and producer. His later songs and albums had more of a pop feel as Luther endeavored to appeal to a crossover audience.

I had come by to bring him lunch and he stopped what he was doing to grab my by the hand and dance with me while singing the song to me. It’s one of my all time favourite memories from when we first together. This November, we’ll be married for 15 years ❤

Luther's catalogue is full of songs like this. The man could sing a ballad so smoothly but get you dancing too. If you want some more upbeat songs he's done, check out "Stop To Love," or "Give Me The Reason" for starters. His "Essential" album has 30 tracks on it and well worth adding to your collection.

His first solo single. I was in the Air Force, getting ready to leave the house for work. I'd left the radio on my stereo playing for my daughter. I was in the foyer, about to leave, when the intro to this song I'd never heard before stopped me in my tracks. By the time Luther's vocals kicked in I was doomed to stand there until the song ended. That groove. That voice. The ironic thing was I already owned other albums with Luther Vandross on vocals, when was when the group Change and didn't realize it. Edit: Definitely check Luther singing "A House is Not a Home" live at the NAACP Image Awards. It might be the greatest live vocal performance in popular music history. The song was done before him by Dionne Warwick, which is why she's shown so prominently in the video.

This is the first song that made our 2 year-old daughter stop, stare at the TV and smile. She just gets giddy when Luther starts singing. I guess it was all the You Tube family music nights we listened to while I was pregnant because this was definitely on the playlist. Luther was such an incredible singer with that velvety voice. You need to hear him and Cheryl Lynn duet on If This World Were Mine. They do a cover of the original song sung by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. Both versions are amazing!

Luther was one of a kind - singer, songwriter and producer at a time it was virtually unheard of for an artist to be all three. After years of being a background singer for many major stars, his lead vocals on the hit dance song "The Glow of Love" by group Change made everyone sit up and say who's that?!?! His hit album Never Too Much reached #1 on the R&B charts and the top 20 on Billboard charts and made everyone take notice. His ballads had everyone believing he could be the next Teddy Pendergrass in the baby making music dept. His hit songs include Dont You Know That, Stop To Love, Give Me a Reason, For You To Love, A House Is Not a Home, Superstar/Until You Come Back To Me, So Amazing and numerous others. His hit sing Here and Now became as popular as the Heatwave hit song Always and Forever as the favorite song to be played at weddings in the 90s and onwards. His catalog of hit songs/albums, including duets and live albums, is huge.

And as soon as I saw this I said “ Amber is gonna love this!”

I then heard him singing with the group Change and I clearly recognized his voice from schoolhouse rock then he had his solo album which was amazing. I do find it hard to believe you guys haven't heard the songs you play. When I was a kid I listened to everything from country, rock, pop R&B, blues, and big band music. My grandmother always watched Lawrence Welk, I don't think there is a song, singer, or group I haven't heard before. It's great to see your reactions.

Before Change, he had the group Luther. And don’t forget he also sang with the group Bionic Boogie. But most importantly he sang background vocals with Roberta Flack, who ends up pushing him out of the nest and helping him get a recording contract when nobody would sign him. *At the time most labels were looking for funk bands, not male solo artists (crooners)*. Roberta told him he was getting too comfortable being in the back and it was time for him to be out front doing his own thing because he was ready for it, and he had been writing his own songs, arranging her background vocals, helping her with her sound and lighting. He was ready. When he played his demos for her she knew he was ready to go do his thing. And she went with him to her agent and to find a label.

I was always in to punk and metal but my wife introduced me to Luther when I met her and we went to see him numerous times in various London venues and he is absolutely amazing

You mention sexy, which it is, but Luther was always quick to point out that he didn’t sing about sex. He sang love songs, that everyone can relate to. Have a Blessed Easter!

Another gem of many of Luther Vandross' is "Busy Body". The guitar solo is a killer.

LUTHER was known for his ballads...for many meh...he helped get their women in a romantic mood...check out..."If this world were Mine"..."A House Is Not a Home"..."Make Me a Believer"..."Superstar/Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)"..."If Only for One Night"..."Wait for Love"..."So Amazing"..."There's Nothing Better Than Love"..."Because It's Really Love"..."Love Won't Let Me Wait" and the list goes on and on....concluding with one of the most heart felt songs in his later years..."Dance with my Father"...enjoy going down this rabbit hole...a life time of great music and incredible vocals

Yes. Please react to Luther's A House is Not a Home, the live version, performed at the 1988 NAACP Image Awards. Dionne Warwick was in attendance. She recorded the original version in her wonderful (almost lifetime) partnership with the composer of the song, legendary musician, Burt Bacharach. In may opinion, this may be the best live performance of any song ever. (By the way, Burt Bacharach, was the composer of many hit songs in the 60s and 70s, covered by several artists, including Tom Jones, enough that he has is own songbook.)
