There will NEVER be another LUTHER VANDROSS. No one can sing like him full stop!.

[@taiwoadams5087]

You can say that again

[@cheryllaredo7771]

It's truth

[@1958lrjpgms]

Not NEVER will there be another Luther. So many people try to sing like him but NEVER.

[@sharonyates6238]

​@@1958lrjpgmsThey are not trying to be Luther. They are trying to honor him by singing the songs they like.

[@cynthialewis6895]

THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!

[@kaygnp]

His voice is soooo soothing ...miss you luther vandross ... Your singing still fills up my bedroom ....

[@pamcoyer9582]

NO ONE sings like Luther. Absolutely incomparable!!!

[@joycewilliams7393]

Agreed! Joyce

Agreed. Pam. Coyer

[@joycego5979]

So sad he left us too soon. Incredibly talented and a golden voice !!

[@tianarobinson4372]

NO ONE HIS VOICE JUST DOES SOMETHING TO YOU I SWEAR

[@bizzle989]

i don't think anyone else will. Luther is the definition of rare. love, what have you done ohhhh wow, i was sure until now that she was a friend. i stayed till the end

[@nuggz22]

Luther the best male vocalist of all time, period. Absolute masterclass

[@Obiwan702]

The beauty of Luther is he never oversang any song, every note of ever chord of every melody of every song he ever sang was perfect. He never did to much or to little, he was absolutely perfect every time

[@edwinbatiste7550]

Like Johnny Gil!!

[@angelc8737]

Jonny did a better tribute at the Grammys with Whitney and EL Debarge. I’m sorry but I didn’t enjoy none of them . Why are the scat singing! 😂😂

[@vincejelineo748]

Well said

[@NaturalMonty]

Amen

[@festusakinbusoye5779]

All these guys are great singers, BUT - Luther Vandross stands in a totally different sphere. Silky, smooth velvety range that very few could come even attempt. Truly a gifted man. Sleep in power Mr. Vandross

[@yvettewashington5265]

Yes the baddest male vocal singer! Gone to soon rest in ✌ peace!

[@mphakamakgalwamametja5899]

Luther's tributes were amazing... But when he walked out on stage... they knew that they were looking at a Legend!!!!

[@valeriadias3318]

Exactly!!!!!!!!

[@SDSFG45]

I call Luther Vandross, "the Sorcerer of Soul"...because the way he sings is magical.

[@sheenaperez1882]

Yess.. and I like that..

[@oldskooljunky1]

Wow unheard of very nice. I always thought his voice is magical too.

[@joycego5979]

Defintely. No one can sing like him and touch your heart.

[@NaturalMonty]

I love this

[@brianaeccleston2421]

Diabetes is so messed up but my baby never lost his voice

[@patriciaholmes3576]

Luther was a legend in his lifetime and still remains one of the greatest vocalist of all time. A "Legend" who will never be forgotten.

[@kitchenskills5427]

I am glad he got his flowers before his he suffered his stroke. However, hearing other singers do Luther songs only underscores how much no one could fill his shoes.

[@mwambamutale4606]

Only Luther can do Luther period point blank......

[@brendagraham5821]

Now I got to say Johnnie Gill did the thing as usual 😊

[@antoniapalmore7494]

Luther voice was like butter. A gift from God to us.

[@robertshuster1591]

Has anyone ever watched luther sing and not smiled

[@preslyjune47]

No disrespect in the other artist out there and its some great artist can really sing but my opinion luther was in a class of his own his voice was out of this 🌎

[@marlenealliance4134]

I feel they don’t play enough of his music on radio

[@fauna17]

They don’t and it’s so upsetting

[@joycewilliams7393]

I agree. Joyce

[@valeriewickerson-august7474]

Just a gorgeous man. What a voice.

[@paulnash7630]

As a 73 yr old white British man i lived for 60's/70's Black music, compared to the likes of Luther todays so called music is crap, I am proud to have been young in the era of Motown, Stax, Atlantic label tunes and they will live forever.

[@lynngold1865]

Nobody could do it like LUTHER VANDROSS

[@andreamanning1257]

If anyone deserves a tribute it’s Luther Vandross, the problem is that there aren’t any singers whose voice is as good as his! I had to fast forward Johnny Gill he was trying too hard. Then the Great Man comes on and it was just effortless. He’s still sorely missed. RIP Mr Vandross

I've been to countless concerts, seen many of the greats live, and saw Luther from his 1st tour on.. If I had one wish, it would be to take a friend of mine who never saw him live, to one of his concerts. There simply was nothing like them. It was more than a concert. It was a supernatural experience everytime...
