Luther Vandross LIVE at Wembley - Vocal Coach React & Analysis of A House Is Not a Home 

Finally! Someone doing Luther! ❤❤❤ I grew up with him. My mom played him all the time. No one else like him.

I was there that night, in-the-round at Wembley. Luther, his backing singers and his band were exceptional. This track was the outstanding number for that evening and his vocals will stay with me forever.

He’s a master vocalist.

What a magnificent, well tuned, purring velvety Rolls Royce of a Voice! Only a Maestro can ad lib so effortlessly and creatively, and all in service of the song, not the ego. Wow!

Luther was absolutely one of the best! So smooth and pure and beautiful. Thank you for the analysis.

I used to be a secret Luther fan. Back in the 80's I was into hair metal, as were most of my friends. But once I ordered a Luther CD thru one of the mail order CD companies (I think it was BMG), I was hooked. His voice is amazing! And the delivery during this song is awe inspiring. He looks like he is having so much fun "showing off" his voice during this performance. Thank you for this review of a unique talent.

Wonderful reaction but his performance of this song at the NAACP AWARDS WAS EPIC!!!

Luther was the GOAT!!! ❤❤

Luther Vandross was a legendary singer. He had such a unique, soulful voice. May he RIP.

I was at this concert which was unusual for an 18 year old at the time. It remains my favourite all time concert. The man was a genius

About time, someone of your caliber, analyzing his singing. He truly was a master of the craft of singing; very soulful, silky, sensual voice. ♨️♨️♨️🇨🇦

Luther was the best ever (IMO) incredible low foundation, sharp and clean upper tones, insane control and emotion in every word. Luther always sang to you and not at you! He is sorely missed...

My dear friend ran Luther's managers NY office during the day so I was fortunate to see Luther many times. Backstage he was sweet, charming and chill...onstage he was a vocal machine and the women lost their minds....some of the men as well. His band was phenomenal and his backup singers (Lisa Fischer) were sublime. The shame is that there is a whole generation of people who have NO idea who Luther is or was.....only the greatest voice of his generation and probably any generation. I hope he and Teddy (Pendergrass) are singing their asses off in heaven!

Great clear explanation of what was going on, great reaction, I was one of those to have seen him in concert and I will always treasure this to have seen this Master in concert. There will never be another like Luther!

Your face, when you are watching Luther, is brilliant

Luther was off the chain. His voice was hypnotic and amazing

Watching a bow being wrapped around a present. What a way to put that.

Luther and his backup singer from this concert Ava Cherry were the backing vocalists on David Bowie's song Young Americans.Great reaction!

His voice feels like a huge piece of satin against bare skin. Just beautiful!

I listen to all genre of music and his voice is THE male voice of a generation. I like his version of this song even better with his tribute to Dionne Warwick and watch the crowd go nuts! ( On RU-vid)..Also his Christmas album is amazing ! Can't wait every year to listen to it. RIP Luther

He was half way thru a concert Live In Wembly. He was waiting for background singers to change outfits. Great concert.

Luther's the GOAT!

I always said it was just effortless, born to sing.

I love his voice with vocal power. It’s a treat listening him sing

Luther is in a class of his own. There are special moments in his performances that just blows the roof off the top. Forever remembered.

Your give phenomenal explanations when you touch on the different parts of his performance, & I love your facial expressions. I agree he has a silky smooth way of delivering the notes, emotions, & dynamics of his voice. I’ve been following The Master as far back as I can remember (the 70s 😊) & he is the greatest male singer I have ever heard. I put him on par with Whitney & Reba as the best at their singing crafts. Thank you for this. You have become my fav at breaking singers. R. I. P. Luther. You are missed.

No one acknowledges that Vandross is really a classical jazz singer out of era. He is really just Sarah Vaughan projected forward in time. Vandross and Carreras- the two greatest male voices of my generation.

Oh man id love if you did the NCAAP performance of this song. You can argue that rendition is even more impressive

Finally!! Someone listing to Luther and feeling every note the way, I do. Pure, just absolute joy. Thank You!

He was absolutely amazing in concert and every song could have gone on forever, but seemed like a moment in time. His concert was truly one of my favorites. Listen to Joe, if you like Luther. He is another black man that takes your breath away when he sings

You are the best among the best reactors, your eyes ,smile, facial reactions and body movements says it all.

Love love love Luther... Superstar is one of my favs. 😊❤

That’s big Luther baby don’t play!!!! Me and my mom miss him so much, she is his biggest fan.

The thing that’s so fascinating and brilliant is that there is space and light and dark shading for the notes and it allows it to breathe…it also allows maximum impact. It is incredibly effective.

Luther was a giant back in the 70s with his amazing vocals

I saw both the late great Luther and the late great Whitney both live. Magical ❤

Luther and Otis Redding are the voices I imagine that we will all hear as we enter into heaven

Luthers voice paints a picture.. Thx for the music Luther World Class🌏👌🏿💯🎤...

Great reaction and insights! Might I suggest doing a run through the 1994 live at Royal Albert Hall version of Luther and Mariah's "Endless Love". I don't think there have been very many more beautiful duets recorded. More technical maybe, more emotionally moving sure... but Luther and Mariah just take the cake for beautiful! Thanks for all you do!

I’m so glad you got to this , he is one of the best in the business.

LUTHER IS THE KING OF R&B OKAY!! 😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥

Excellent video! Thank you,

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Loved your explanation and insight into this song!

Your voice is so kind. Glad I found your channel

My favorite Luther song🎙❤

One of the best male singers if not the best ever

Great reaction! I loved it!

One of our GREATEST voices in R&B music....❣️🙌🏿

As you said he was brilliant and a huge loss to the entertainment community! I don't think I've heard a magnificat voice like his. And now that he's gone, I think ge would hard to replace He had a natural, God given talent and now ge's singing for the Lord! RIP Luther! And thank you for giving him the alcalaves that he deserves! One of akind! 🙋😘💞🌹

Luther had such a beautiful voice. This song is just amazing and one of my favorites, he sang. I was just talking to my wife about him.

I read somewhere that Luther once said it's one thing to have your audience cheering, but quite another for them to be completely silent so they won't miss anything. This man had a voice that was larger than life itself. If only he had taken better care of himself healthwise, who knows, he might still be here.

Amazing

Seen him at Wembley before he passed away. He was so awesome live

Its a great vocal analysis ! :D

I loved Luther!

I pray that ONE DAY we'll see another person with his talent come along.

"He's playing more with everything else except the melody, except the notes." Yes, this was something I noticed, as well, but could never put into words. Sadly, there's just no one like him these days; no one sings like that anymore. This entire concert is incredible. An immaculate production. Not sure who the md was, but he or she didn't get paid enough! I believe the great Marcus Miller was involved, but I don't know to what extent. Thanks again for this one!

I love Luther. Wish he was still here.

This song brings back feelings and wondrous memories of my first girlfriend which was my High school sweetheart till this day. I never forgot her. And this song brings incredible memories alive again.❤❤❤❤

If there’s one voice I wish I could have, it’s Luther’s. Just pure silk

Great perception

First Time Ever I saw your Face...Robert Flack....if you get a chance

When music was an aural feast, not intended as a visual feast with Autotune to clean up that singing part of the show. Such a great performance, from such a musical master.

That was moving!

Luther's "superstar" at Wembley is just classic and out of this world...

Good coach

He was so smooth....He doesn't ever seem to reach or push for any notes. I hate him! 😂😂I guess that's the balance she is referring to. But he is definitely my favorite male voice.

Dance With My Father. A song guaranteed not to leave a dry eye in the house...

I mean the thing about Luther is that you never feel, in spite of everything, that he is not present in the song. The song never gets lost in his styling. He was one of a kind.

please also do Luther Vandross live perf of Superstar 😊

My favorite male singer ever

Miss Lady, you have got to react to PRINCE ....DAM YOI and SOMEWHERE HERE ON EARTH. You will not be disappointed......BUT, there is one performance you MUST REVIEW...Rachelle Ferrell's "AMERICA the BEAUTIFUL" YES, YES , YES!!!!!

Can you please do the one from the 1988 NAACP awards? I would love to hear your reaction

Here is a little back story about the song and about LV. Luther was a background singer for Patti LaBelle. While in rhe road with Patti he was doing a sound check with rhe sound engineer. As such they were playing with the arrangements for the up and coming performance. It was not supposed to be rhat many peope in the auditorium during the sound check so the lights were turned down. Unbeknownth to Luther Patti LaBelle was sitting in the audience and was listening to him sing. Upon his completion she made herself known. It was in that moment Luther found himself unemployed because Patti LaBelle fired him on the spot. Her reasoning behind this move was that she felt that Luther should never sing backup to anyone and that was her way of making sure he knew that and to pursue his solo career. The song House is not a home was first sung during an award ceremony where Dionne Warwick who originally sung the song was present and he sang it to her.

i just here the hurt but the ok that i way be ok but the love will be there

i see the music in you heart in is in that i thank you for please i just want one chacne of love never but your are speaical

This may sound bad but when i was in the military, putting on Luther was a guaranteed baby maker. R.I.P.

There was a radio R+B hit in the early '80's that he sang. I didn't know the name so I bought every album but never found it. 40 years later it showed up on RU-vid somehow. It was before he went on his own, with a group. "The Glow of Love." ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--3K-G8zhajk.html

The 'Master'!!!

Luther put to in a trance.. 😆 don't worry he does that to me to.

RIP! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

I enjoy your videos. Keep it up!

Would like to hear your perspective now James Warren Taylor “JT” with Kool and the Gang and Gregory Hines. Maybe do Gregory and Luther singing together in There’s nothing better than Love. Love Luther.

Good evening Can you react to Lisa Fischer . She is 😊so amazing. She also was a backup singer for Dionne Warrick Luther Vandross and years for the Rolling Stones. I'm quite sure you already know this. Thanks for the critique. Awesome. 😊

This great do his supetsyar from that concert.

please do Patti labelle's rendition of Somewhere over the rainbow performed Live at the apollo theater.

He paints a picture with his vocals.

👏👏👏👏👏

🌟🥇

Can you please please do a Reaction to Luther Vandross - Superstar live from wembley

please enjoy Teddy Pendergrass - Lady (Live London 1982)

Well done he can sing super high without head voice but he might touch that for his own unique beautiful voice. He can hear the echo and he is singing to himself maybe?

Linda Ronstadt - La Charreada Los Tigres del Norte (feat: Zack de la Rocha)- Somos Mas Americanos The Avett Brothers - Ballad of Love and Hate (live)

I know you are analyzing singers' performances, but don't forget to mention the geniuses behind these songs- in this case, Burt Bacharach and Hal David. RIP Luther Vandross, BB and HD.

Suggest you give a listen to Glenn Shorrock , lead singer for The Little River Band. Thanks and I enjoy your channel and insight.

React to the band Cinderella
