Luther Vandross • “Always And Forever”/Interview • 1995 [Reelin' In The Years Archive] 

Bar none, the greatest male voice of all time.

He had gorgeous eyes.

Luther was the one person I wanted to see live! Sadly never happened. Such a handsome man with a true heart!

Luther was a very rare breed he had the ability to transform you to any place in space and time, and he was a beautiful soul bless him

Luther Vandross the musician, the professionalism, the vocals and the looks. You had it all

I wanted to say something. One day I will be dead and gone. You cannot copy an original. But I learned to sing more efficiently, just by listening to Luther's music. Young people, you can do that to. Luther will be in heaven, hope to see you people there. Dec 2023.

This interview was great to watch- Luther so relaxed and I see a lot of mannerisms that just popped out if one knows what to look for. Luther was a closeted man and felt he had to be 1) because he wanted to make his mom proud and create less drama 2) he felt that his ability to create his music would be a distraction to his audience especially the ladies who just loved his delivery of his music and lastly artists who were openly gay typically in those years lost their careers due to stigma and discrimination. Today he would be embraced by so many if he were an openly gay man so when he created or re-envisioned a song a lot of his music is a message of yearning for love or the difficulties of being alone. His voice carried weight to the truths we all seek, acceptance and love. You are the power of love Luther, love power.

The way Luther Vandross transformed a song into his signature was the BEST. He took a song and made it his own…..and always BETTER than the original. He was a multi-talented artist. I miss him terribly.

His voice was so smooth, rich, full & warm. Beautiful tone.

I BELIEVE THAT HE HAS A GOD GIFTED VOICE.

He's funny and I love his crispy voice...

He was so funny! I didn't know that about him... genuinely seems like a lovely man.

The host lady is right, his voice cuts like a hot (golden) knife through butter. So smooth, so elegant, so rich and warm. Plus he's really quite funny and charming when he's not singing too. An all round class act and just a nice guy.

Notice how he speaks without being interrupted. People were able to concentrate back then

Who could ever replace this man,he is so gorgeous, inside and out xx❤❤

Wow a beautiful voice 😊

I was lucky enough to see Luther in concert twice. He was exceptional! The level of professionalism, musicianship and vocal expertise was truly outstanding. I've attended many concerts in my 61years and Luther is by far the greatest male singer I've seen.

I will always love Luther. He was the best singer of all times.

If someone could just do a Documentary about Luther!!! It's Long Overdue 💜

I miss Luther amazing voice gone to soon RIP!

Even though he's not with us physically but his spirit still lives on.

What a tremendous human being Luther was, I miss the energy that is so lacking in the world today

One of the greatest voices of all time!!!

Luther had a great sense of humor!

He was so relatable, poised, and charismatic here. I love this interview. A legendary singer and a good spirit.

He was very comfortable with her. She asked all the right questions.

Luther had beautiful skin. What a talent and he seems like he had a wonderful, fun personality. He is truly missed.

If only we had gotten that Luther and Whitney duet he mentioned during the interview. That would have been EPIC!

One of the all time great voices. A master, was Luther.

Hands down, the Best male singer I have known in my lifetime. So blessed that I was able to go to one of his concerts. We miss you Luther. Your legacy lives on.

He was superb, the only man who makes me cry listening to his voice. R.I.P.

I must add that the guy was gorgeous I always wondered if he knew just how Blessed he was, apart from having the ability to sing so beautifully and touch so many people, he still managed to Truthful to himself,?

What a beautiful human being. RIP Luther, my wedding song to my 1st dance was Here and Now!! Still my favorite. My date was 10-30-21 ❤

I wasn’t expecting to watch this whole show but it actually was a very pleasant and fun good natured interview all around

Pure talent, nothing comes close to his voice now

What a treat! Just relaxing on a Sunday morning and came across this interview. Luther sadly passed when I was a young girl. So, while I knew and loved his voice and music I don't recall ever seeing him interviewed. He had a beautiful and fun spirit. I sense some low self esteem regarding his looks/weight. I wish he knew that he was beautiful. Not only that, whether slim or not, he had a gift that was so much more meaningful than a 34 inch waist. So special, and absolutely gone too soon. Rest Luther 🤍.

Luther!!! Voice was smooth as butter and he sang so effortlessly! Man, many of the best are gone on! Well Done Luther!

My first date with my current wife of 36 years. Thank you Luther, RIP.

I smiled all through watching this. Luther Vandross is always and forever himself!

This was a beautiful interview

This is such a good interviewer. I like her and the set. Very good and lighthearted fun interview.

This was the Man Luther Ranzoni Vandross RIP

I love his confident yet humble energy-he must have been a joy to be around 😊

Genuine, nice, great singer something todays "artists" lack of.

This guy is just a phenomenal vocalist, such a beautiful voice and tone.

This is rare! Wow. Never seen this...

Luther is so humble and kind. Love you Luther. Rest in Peace. Thank you for your beautiful voice.

This man... beyond words. Luther was an amazing vocalist, songwriter and producer. His personality was beautiful. He's the best male voice of all time to me and the King of R&B/Soul 👑💖✨

that control and power!! unbeatable

My Favorite!!!"So Amazing",Because It's Love",Make Me A Believer","See Me","I Who Have Nothing",ect...A real fan not just the Radio Hits I Listened to the Album's 🤔One of the few Ellegant/Classy(Men/Person)that has graced this Earth...."Don't You Know That"...Unreal

Aside from his sheer talent, he seems like a very kind person.

He sung so Effortlessly 🥰 Simply Amazing.We Love u Luther ‼️

An amazing talent and gift. I enjoyed his albums when they were released. My cousin was married and he and his fiancée asked me to sing “Here and Now”, during the rehearsal after singing the song, my cousin told me, “cuz, it didn’t really sink in that I was getting married until I saw you singing that song! The wedding was beautiful, wonderful. I received a request to sing the same song for a member of the wedding audience and I did it. But the magic is pure Luther! Rest in musical heaven, Luther, I’m sure you and Whitney are singing many duets together! 🙌🏾🗣🎤🎼🕊🎼🎤🗣🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

The most beautiful singer ever...no one will ever compare rip Luther

Luther Vandross though you're physically here with us, we still feel the aura of your presence as though you're still here. You've immortalized yourself and have proven your worth. You've always proved yourself and weight. You're a maestro, a genius, and you've carved a niche for yourself.

No one will ever compare.

Lovely interview! Apart from being an incredible singer and musician he was a really intelligent and thoughtful man. RIP Luther!

His music still lives

I will always love Luther Vandross.

God, I miss him. He’d be giving us such amazing music!

I love Luther Vandross!

Omg, who is this lady? I have never seen her! She is clearly kind of too bougie to know David Bowie, which is hilarious, but she actually did a bunch of research on Luther. This was not a bad interview at all, and I think she pulled it off splendidly Luther was divine, as expected. Thank you so much for posting this gem!

Truly missed him and whitney

What a voice! Rest easy sir

Luther I miss you

I can hear him singing in Heaven. RIP Luther.

Ele era lindo e cantava sorrindo parecia que cantar o fazia feliz saudades de você lutero16 03 2023

This man's voice eased a throbbing toothache once, no lie!

I don’t blame him. When the plane ✈️ hits turbulence, it’s scary.

His voice lives on , a true soul man xx

Oh God how I miss Luther's Voice and Persona extraordinaire.

R.I.P luther best singer ever real legend!
