I saw an interview with him and Mr. Vandross was quite the perfectionist in multiple areas of his life. The thoughtfulness he put into so many things was crystal clear. Musically he is bar none!! 🎼 🎤 🎶 #GoneTooSoon R🖤🎤P
LTD "Love Ballad" might be a great follow-up song to this one, because it's just as romantic as this song is,the vocals from Jeffery Osborne are top notch as well!
@@RTDavis0503 I can definitely hear a mix of both. The only difference I can easily spot with Phyllis is her ability to enunciate all of her words. Toni kind of rode with Anitas blending of words
Anytime I hear this song, I automatically think of the movie “The Wood”. 🤣 Beautiful song. Luther also did a remake of this with Beyoncé on her debut album “Dangerously In Love”.
He didn’t do a remake of this song with Beyoncé, but the song he did remake with her for her Dangerously In Love album is called The Closer I Get To You which was originally written and sung by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack In 1977. The two songs do sound pretty similar, though.
On every album Luther would do at least one remake of a song. Luther would give these remakes the full treatment (I used to say he “Lutherized” the song. Usually from that point forward the song was his. People usually don’t even remember the earlier version. I loved Luther. Saw him live 3 times!
I still get chills whenever I hear this song! A forever classic. Can you imagine being in love like this! We should all have a love like the one portrayed in these lyrics. Luther’s song lyrics & vocals are ALWAYS top notch! *chef’s kiss*.
Ok Jack come through with the old school! Since you like falsettos, check out Switch They’ll Never Be. You’ll love the production, horns and their voices. 🥰
NOBODY'S voice is/was smoother than that of Luther Vandross. I'm a big Margin Gaye fan, but Luther is by favorite. The things he could do with his voice were amazing. 🗣🎶
I give you the flowers the birds and the bees love that line but u should react to the original by the late marvin Gaye and the late tami Terrell if you don't know who tammi Terrell she is best known singing with marvin Gaye she died in March 1970 after removing a tumor from her brain.
Driving home in the rain tonight, perfect weather for Luther Vandross &Martha Wash “I Who Have Nothing”7:27 minutes of old school bliss, check it out! Missed you ❤️ glad you’re back
Hey, Jack. If you wanna hear a flawless Luther duet, check "I Who Have Nothing" (Luther Vandross & Martha Wash). It's one of the most beautiful duets of all time!
That was a good catch on how the strings changed. The many times that I have listened to this song, I never caught that before. I will hear it from now on.
I scrolled down to make sure someone else commented this very thing before I did!! Legato - that’s the opposite of staccato, fluid continuous connection between notes vs detached, separated notes. I’m so happy I learned this! The internet is useful at times, LOL
Men just don't sing of love like this anymore! They don't show vulnerability! What happened? All I hear now is men talking about how much money they supposedly have, how many guns he has, who he shot and btchs and whrs! Boring! Do they even love anymore? We ladies are missing love songs from our men!
There are plenty of beautiful women (inside & out) around that deserve to be sung to with love and respect! Some men (not all) love to use females as an excuse. I’m just love my generation of men still love romance!
I must say Im loooovving ur reactions to everything from Selena to Luther....I love to see some1 simply just appreciating music....It def puts a smile on my face...You Go Boy!!(In my Gina voice!) Lol #keepuptheawesomejob
When they pluck a stringed instrument like a violin or cello, it’s called “pizzicato”. You should check out his cover of I Who Have Nothing, I think with Martha Wash.
Jack your cool brother man like the fact that your young and you genuinely enjoy good music!! Loved the video bro put a smile on my face..By the way Marvin wrote and sang this first with Tami Terell and has his own solo version..Bless King👊🏿
Oh this was the song!!! Thanks for reviewing this 1. It was one my Dad's favorites. He and I listening to this together will always be a cherished memory ❤🙏🏽
Eventhough, I heard and listened to this version of the song when it was originally released, it reminds me of 'The Wood', too. Then again, 'The Wood' makes me reminisce about my childhood and listening to this song.
I didn’t even remember this song was in The Wood, tbh! I think of the four singers (2 versions) who recorded it when I hear this song. I just love the song! 💙😊
Omg one of my favs! I’m pretty sure this version is also a remake. If you loved this, please give a listen to “Fire And Desire “ by Rick James and Teena Marie
Yes it’s a cover...but a damn good one, huh? Lol u can’t go wrong with Luther! But Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell recorded the original and it’s beautiful too! It’s just a beautifully written song by Ashford & Simpson! 💙🙂
Jack! I love that you love R&B music and especially the old classics! I love your videos man! You should watch them sing this LIVE on Soul Train! Sounds exactly the same but you can definitely see they’re singing live. Also, you should watch the the YT video that went viral this last Summer. This guy was singing the song in a grocery store and walks up to a random woman and she starts singing THIS SONG with him!!!! Mannnn, it was too good! Look up “If this world were mine - Live on the Fly”.
NOWWWW we talkin! What yall young bucks know about sitting on your steps with your ol'head friends blasting this drinking beer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMG the memories (im tearing up)
This song was first done by Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell. When you have a chance check it out by them. I was a teenager when Marvin and Tammy did it. It was good slow drag music. Oh yea! The Flower 🌹
Jack, please please check out Luther Vandross Live at Wembley on RU-vid. It's one thing to react to Luther's recordings but another whole level to see him perform it at a live concert. This will blow your mind.
Jack, you are too awesome! Your appreciation for these classics is refreshing. I’ve watched several of your videos and you “feel” these songs. Great commentary too.
Jack i love the reactions and the positivity. Luther was is always will be perfect. I remember hearing this for the first time an it gave me chills how beautifully perfect the two of them sang this an its a remake done better imo and I love marvin gaye as an allround artist. Cheryl Lynn was phenomenal Luther is deity. Truly gifted from the gods. He will live on as long as there is music
To me, there was nothing close to Luther Vandross's vocal prowess. Tonally unique! Also (and even more striking), he was even better in person. In the 80's, I was absolutely floored when I saw him and DeBarge in person at the Westbury Music Fair in Long Island, NY. When he left this earth, he arguably took the most unique vocal instrument with him. One of the greatest vocalist of any genre that ever lived. Bar None!
This is a cover of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrells Tamla/Motown duet. From their duet album titled "United" the original song was written and arranged 100% by Marvin Gaye. If it wasn't already mentioned.
I think Luther, Marvin, and Smokey are in a three-way tie for the smoovest voices ever. Please react to "Something" by Snarky Puppy with Lalah Hathaway.
I'm am very blessed to say I have seen a Luther Vandross concert in person. One of the best performances I've ever had the pleasure to witness. The other would be Kirk Franklin
This was an incredible collaboration and an excellent reaction. I really enjoy your insight and the way that you convey how the music moves you. Great choice and great job young man!
Ok now you have to do Teddy pendergrass & Stephanie mills "Two Hearts" it's only right to be blown away with this song is timeless and iconic by these 2 legends.
Yes i give his teddy pendegrass praises because you have heard his music we all know what Luther can do. But you haven't heard ms. Cheryl Lynn sang not just sing. Her vocal ranges is ridiculous her music is timeless you need to check her out. Cheryl doesn't get her praises like she should especially as a vocalist
I am a new subscriber. And I have been binge watching you. I absolutely loved your reaction to this song and the many others that you have reacted to from my generation.
I love watching you get passionate about a song the same way I do lol they really do not make music like this anymore. please react to more Luther. Better Love, Don't you know that, and Take you out are a few good ones.
Marvin Gaye wrote this song for his boo Tammi. Luther came through and made it his own. That’s saying a lot because he’s a feature. This is Cheryl’s cover.
I just found your channel this week. I'm 41 and your passion and respect for older music, (plus production background) is something I can really appreciate and relate to. Seeing how you love this song, I thought you might appreciate: Tonight, I Celebrate My Love-Peabo Bryson w/ Roberta Flack. Super popular wedding song in the 80s. If you've never heard it you may wanna check it out.
