I was curious if anyone here was familiar with Luther's music. He was truly a musical genius. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2005 in the month of July. His music brought a lot of happiness into many people's lives and thought that it'd be nice to post a thread so we could discuss him, his life, and his legacy. He has truly made a great impact in the music industry.

If you haven't ever listened to him, give him a listen! :yes:
 
I really like Luther's music. Dance With My Father is such a beautiful song. :heart:
 
i can't say i know too much about him ..but i love his music and voice ...he makes me feel cozy :D
 
I love Luther..one of the best male vocalists of all time..I just love his voice!!
 
I got into Luther cos he is my mother and aunts favourite singer.
I love him, he reminds me of my childhood (even though I'm 18 :lol:)

Dance with my father, is such a beautiful, beautiful song as Louise said.
It always makes me :cry:
I love Never Too Much too! And Ain't No Stoppin Us Now.
And his duet with Janet.
My mother always plays his Christmas album too, at Christmas time :D
Mistletoe Jam is a fave of mine off his Christmas album.

It's such a shame he passed away in 2005. And so young :( only 54 wasn't he? I remember my aunt was really upset.
 
Luther Vandross was an incredible talent. My mother was in love with his music. :)
 
"A chair is still a chair......even when there's no oooone......sittin' there.."

All he's gotta do is sing about FURNITURE and it get's women pregnant!
 
Oh man I love Luther

His song "Here and Now" is such a favorite of mine.

I'm so sad that Luther is no longer here, I miss his beautiful voice.
 
"Dance With My Father" is in my top ten albums of the last ten years. An amazing last piece of work.
 
I love Luthers music! He's one of my favourite artists. Dance With My Father is one of my favourite songs too :yes: I loved Man In The Mirror at MSG. One of the other artist I've always wanted to see perform live but never got the chance. :(
