The Man

Another person taken from us too soon. I was watching this video this morning and I thought I'd share. Man, nobody could sing like Luther. The last great male R&B singer. RIP Luther and enjoy the clip everyone.

  1. Dude, I SO agree with you on this!! It's funny you mention not only Luther but this song in particluar because latley I've been playing it a lot. What an unbelievable voice he had.

    I think Luther Vandross should have been an even bigger star than he was.

  2. Yeah, no kidding. I kind of regret that I didn't take the opportunity to see him live. I'm sure he appeared in Toronto at some point. Did you ever see him? I remember we saw some great soul singers back in the day, Junior Walker, Hank Ballard, Luther 'Guitar' Johnson...Man, we saw some great shows, didn't we? Although I think at the time, I probably wouldn't have been into Luther that much, but our tastes change over the years, and good music, regardless of who is singing, is much more appreciated, than in our youth. Truly, he was the last great soul singer.
