Luther just ate this song ALIVE. He knew he was gonna wreck shop as soon as he stepped to the mic. If butter was a voice it'd be Luther's voice. Also notice the lack of gimmicks. No backup singers or dancers or band. Just him, the mic, and the curtains. That's hard to do but he does it with such confidence. AMAZING.

@OnlyLoveCan38 3 года назад

Background to this performance: Dionne was a very good friend and mentor to Luther. Luther and Dionne had a big falling out and Luther found himself without his best friend. This was a tribute to Dionne and he chose this song because he love hearing Dionne singing. He was apologizing to Dionne with this song. They mended their relationship that night.

@3912James 2 года назад

This puts this song in an interesting light...as without Warwick's friendship....it left a void, much like going into an empty house...and the part of his performance where he says, "I'm sorry" he very well may have said that to his friend on a sneak tip.

@blessedandbeautiful8365 2 года назад

That is beautiful. He sang it from his and we all felt it. I sent it to my husband and I pray he feels it. Lyrics in songs has a meaning every time. RIP Luther

@jamesstarks3676 Год назад

Dionne sang this song first and Luther redid it with his extra-luxurious sonic flare.

@roseterry2744 10 месяцев назад

At 73 years old, I only was interested in Luther and Dionne's talents and choice of songs. I will tell you one thing, if Luther sang this love song focusing on mending a relationship with Dionne Warwick, if they had both were separately married...this would seal the deal of their divorces, that's for sure! I'm going to have to dig deeper on Google. his voice was phenomenal no one can compete with this! R I P Luther!

@dvillebenny1445 2 года назад

No auto tune needed here, he had perfect pitch and could pick notes out of his head. He sang that song thousands of times so the things that Iook improvised were weII pIanned out ahead of time - he just made it Iook easiIy played. His diction and use of resonance in his head and teeth were exacting. Luther's abiIity to control the air fIow and deliver sound through his entire vocal range was his Iifetime achievement, a man Iike no other singer. He had a velvet tonal quality that made him unique and ability to express himself through audience eye contact in an assertive sexy manner made women swoon and men jeaIous.

@sherrysink3177 Год назад

I saw an interview with him years ago on Arsenio Hall's show, and he made a comment I've never forgotten. He said that singers could do all the melismas and vocal runs in the world, that's fun acrobatics, but to him the most important thing of all is always the tone. Controlling clear, pure tone. And man, he had it. ❤ My favorite male R&B singer, always and forever.

@Dreams4U2 Год назад

Dionne Warwick released this song in 1964 and Luther Vandross covered it in 1981. He was a huge fan of Dionne's growing up (as was I) and they became friends. The song was written by Hall David and Burt Bacharach, as was many songs released by Dionne Warwick from 1961 to 1972.

@joshiejames Год назад

Velvet is the perfect word. He mastered everything. He knew when to pull back, when to push, when to go soft, when to play. Greatest singer our generation will ever see.

My best friend worked on his management team and I was fortunate to be backstage for many Luther shows. He was a very sweet man. He was also one of the great artists of all time and it kills me that he has been lost in history (to a certain extent) to the pile of crap that make up the contemporary artists of today. Kanye couldn't carry his Evian bottle !!!!

@VocalSplendorStudios 3 года назад

I so agree. The use of autotune and lip-syncing dancers is too common. So many great singers have been seemingly forgotten. That's why it's so important for the young people to understand what great song writing and singing is really about.

@@VocalSplendorStudios I was fortunate enough to see him in concert twice. The last time was his last performance at what was then called The Universal Amphitheater. I took my then girlfriend, a friend, and my youngest daughter. As usual, he was amazing. As an extra added bonus, Gregory Hines was in the audience and sang There's Nothing Better Than Love with him. It's a beautiful duet that you can find on RU-vid. It was incredible. Being older, I have had the pleasure of seeing many of the greats, past and present. Luther was/is one of my favorites. If you get a chance, look Jackie Wilson singing Danny Boy. His voice and range was so amazing. I saw him in concert in my teens headlining a show that had many great artists on the bill. Second billed was Aretha Franklin. As a young musician, I was thrilled to get to meet them both after the show.

Ive said it a million times...Luther had breath control that was off the charts. Im not a voice teacher by any means, but I know and understand some of the nuances of vocal technique(s). And Luther stood out from the pack of other great male singers, because his breath control techniques were so uniquely pleasant and rather odd. The only other singer I can compare, in that way, is Smokey Robinson. The way Luther falls off a note and/or stretches a note out, with this unique "breath-iness" is ALL LUTHER.
