Re: Luther Vandross Dead
I'm gutted. I've been a big fan of Luther for nigh on 20 years, I have every album and was devastated when I heard of his stroke a couple of years ago. His father died of complications with diabetes, Luther also had the condition but didn't address it until it was too late.
His career never really was a huge as it was in the US - which is a shame becuase that meant that we hardly got to see him perform live in this country - and believe me he put on one of the best shows you'd ever see.
Every year it seemed that he was nominated for a Grammy, but until Dance With My Father (released after his stroke) he never won one. I am glad he finally acheived that ambition before his passing.
He was a perfectionist, a unique voice, a prolific songwriter, one of the most talented arrangers and producers and a talent the world can never have enough of. Above all, he was a devoted son to his mother and a devoted friend to many.
God bless you, Luther. May you rest in peace. There's a bright star in heaven tonight.

Don't worry, I don't think anyone will take it that way.
I know what you mean though.

Re: Luther Vandross Dead
This makes me me so old and vunerable. All the people I liked and grew up with are dying and dying young.
RIP all.

Re: Luther Vandross Dead
I wasn't a particular fan of his, but he was a great singer and one of the old school who would mix soulful ballads with great pop songs.
A sad loss to the music industry.
RIP
