Brought tears to my eyes...My house just wasn't a home after my husband passed 32 years ago...💔...😔 💖RIP Sweet~Heart💖 Thank You Jamal for The Music, The Love and Great Smile! Keep up The Great Work! ✌💖🤘
Luther never looked better or sounded better and I think he was all in for singing this song for Dionne who sang it first. Love was truly in the air. Brilliant!☮️❤️
Luther understood that love belongs to us all everyone, every color, every religion, gay and straight! That is why we can all connect and be one human race!☮️❤️
Dionne Warwick’s reaction: GOLD!! And all the women screaming and swooning!! I think this was the NAACP Awards ceremony. This hit my heart, because I realize how much I miss him.
Aww, Luther Vandross!!! This is a classic & beautiful performance, chills👏👏👏👏 Definitely one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen👏👏Love your reaction too😄
The feeling you get when you see someone unafraid to walk in their God given gifts and talents...a true crooner and vocalist that is one of the best in history.
I’ve watched this so many times! Luther is phenomenal here and Dionne Warwick was in Heaven listening to him! The entire audience was hypnotized by his singing. It is beyond heavenly!❤️
From 1988. They kept the camera on her because she sang it first in 1966 or '67. Written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach for her. I remember it was a hit or her. But Luther took it to another level. And she knows it.
I have been a fan for years and had the absolute pleasure of seeing the man himself Luther Vandross live in concert and believe me vocal talent such as his is a true rarety. A singer who sounds better live than on a studio recording is a privilege to behold. Unforgettable, sadly missed and a true loss to the world of music.
Luther began his career as a back up singer for Dionne Warwick. She encouraged him to sing jingles for commercials ... and then he became the Luther we know and loved.
I was lucky enough to see Luther live TWICE in the 80s. And he would say throughout the show 'just like the record' because he wanted you to sing along with him. The best live performer ever!!!
Yes and he ALWAYS sung If only for One Night with Creep one after the other. And we would go crazy! Plus back in the day the radio stations always played those two back to back.
@@deborahtaylor3617 when i saw The Night I fell in Love tour the whole stage was decorated as his living room. Don’t remember, but he may have even started the concert with “Having a Party. “ In any case ,he said to the audience when he came out, “ Sit back and relax because we’re going to sing THEM ALL for you.” And he did. Such a great show.
"him, the mike & the curtain" Pure class Consummate performer He NEVER sang the same song the same way twice His ad lib made you wanting more and the way this song keeps you holding on... He talked while he sang And it was just the two of you alone In the room You knew he was singing ONLY to you... You felt it deep down, to your toes. Saw him live numerous times One of my all time top favorites ❤️❤️❤️
Nothing needs to be said. Listen to it 100 times. It's gets better and better. The man's voice is an instrument from God. Love this version of the song live. God Bless you Luther Thank u
I’ve always said Luther Vandross is the Best Voice to ever be recorded! This man sounded the same live in concert as he sounded on his records and he had some of the baddest background singers ever!
Luther is incredible! I saw him in concert probably about 6 or 7 times. "Never too Much" got me hooked a long time ago and I've been a huge fan ever since.
I'm so Jealous. If I could go back in time, I would find a way to attend at least one of his concerts. I so badly wished that I could have seen and listened to him live. Some of his songs are better live than they are recorded
I can't say I'm a particular R&B fan, but this video has been on my playlist for years. He was fantastic, and the world is a sorrier place without him in it.
I remember watching this when it aired and was blown away from his performance but so was she, because when he called her on stage all she could say was " you sure can sing....no, I mean you REALLY can sing" I wish they've left that part on 💙
Luther vandross is a great singer love his voice he sings this song great he can definitely get a crowd going with his great voice great performance indeed I would love to be there listening to him he is a so awesome
Best live performance ever! Do you know the story about Luther and Dionne Warwick? When he was younger he told people she was his Aunt! Was fortunate enough to see him live in Chicago with Anita Baker.
Had tickets to finally see Luther in concert and the concert was cancelled due to his health. Wish I could have seen him. He was the ultimate. RIP dear Luther.
Masterful performance with a pre-recorded track that’s so fluid rhythmically. He never tries to count or guess and he has no click track. He just expertly navigates all those pitfalls like it’s nothing. Oh and singing his you-know-what off the whole time! Such a great talent.
Luther did this. Another great Live version was 1981 when it first came out performed on Saturday Night Live. He got a standing ovation!!! *Janet lived next door to Luther & they were good friends. We'd wait on him like Whitney & get excited at the notes. Ironically Whitney is Dionne's cousin. *He was on Arsenio before his full performance & was asked to do just a little & when he sang a capella Arsenio literally laid on the floor & started kicking his legs up, he couldn't take it & Luther sings like we breathe effortlessly.
Holy hell man, you are hitting my favs today! This is the absolute GREATEST version of this Bacharach song. Dionne does a great version too but this song was MEANT for Luther. Man you really know what recommendations to choose. Lol. God this song was perfect for Luther Vandross
Watch "Brook Benton: A House is Not a Home (Bacharach, David, 1964)" on RUclips ruclips.net/video/rgwGOAS_Gzk/видео.html Great version before Dionne but I agree. Totally meant for Luther!
Even though Soundwaves go outward, this man has the ability to lure you back in. So smooth!!! Note: not a dry panty in that building. Woo my soul feels cleansed
l'll fight anyone that says that performance is not the top male vocal performance of all time! Who could kill it like Luther? Especially this damn song and this performance.
The GOAT! He's my FAVORITE and I had the privilege of seeing him LIVE a year and a half before he passed. What an honor! Better live than on a recording! AMAZING!!!! LOVE YOU LUTHER and may your dear soul be resting in peace. XOXO
Ok I am so behind in videos...but I saw this post and I had to drop everything to watch because I remembered watching this award show and I was blown away....Luther was one of THE BEST R&B singers of all time!!!!! RIP Luther we all know you are singing with the angels everyday in the presence of the Lord!
Luther's recordings are beautiful, but nothing beats seeing him perform live! I miss him and this performance brought tears to my eyes. We just witnessed one of the great ones. Great reaction, Jamel, and RIP Luther!
There is no one like Luther Vandross. I always joke, "Usher who? Brian McKnight? No... it's LUTHER." ;) He's got the kind of voice where you should listen with headphones so you can hear every nuance. He's jus so smooth, not just with all the runs and melismas but with every note he sings. His tone is gorgeous. And as you see with the video, it's even better live. One of my favorite concerts was taking a road trip to Milwaukee with my friends after high school graduation to see him in concert. What a wonderful evening... I think I spent it just spellbound the whole time, listening to him sing.
AGREED! It IS the GREATEST from the G.O.A.T. (R.I.P.) Felt it W/U. At 1st , the most felt reaction is Silence , so beyond words, to the Core of the Soul.
When this was recorded I was living in Japan but a friend of mine told me about this Amazing Luther performance! When I got back to the USA, one of the first things I did is go to my friend's house and watch this on his VHS player. Needless to say, this performance was, is, and always will be; Stunning!!! The reason why they kept showing Dionne Warwick is because 20 years earlier she had a hit with this song written by Burt Bacharach. Jamel, thank you for this reaction to one of my All Time favorite performances by Luther Vandross! Also, thank you for Keeping Great Music Alive!!! God bless you and your family. Much Love & Respect. Take Care. ✌
Oh Luther.... Miss you so much. I saw him in concert once, in the 90s. It was so amazing. There was once time, he made the seats in The Joe (Joe Louis Arena) vibrate. Amazing.
We lost this man way too early!! Was lucky enough to see/hear him at the U of Arizona back in the day. He always refused A.C. said his voice was more important than sweat. It was 9 pm & 93 degrees outside. Never Ever been so happy to sweat!

No one can watch this and be the same after. Love and miss you Luther. ❣️

Luther understood that love belongs to us all everyone, every color, every religion, gay and straight! That is why we can all connect and be one human race!☮️❤️
Sweet like honey and smooth like butter. Did you know he was a backup up singer for David Bowie back in the day? RIP dear Luther.
woah thats quite the fact, appreciate that one
....and Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Patti LaBelle, Bette Miller, Chic and more....all before he became a solo megastar. One of the best to do it!
And he was on Sasame Street too
Use to steal clothes for patti back in the day
He knew he was gonna tear that song up as soon as he stepped to that mic. Look at that confidence.
Dionne Warwick’s reaction: GOLD!! And all the women screaming and swooning!! I think this was the NAACP Awards ceremony. This hit my heart, because I realize how much I miss him.
Miss him too!😥
I knew the camera would pan to Dionne at some point because this is a remake of her song...
Dinner was Luther's favorite singer.
It was. NAACP Awards '88.
@@auntienancy7787 And even SHE said Luther’s version was better than hers. You see her wipe tears?
Nobody sings this like Luther timeless.
The greatest live vocal performance ever
he was so friggin’ amazing, no one could do it like Luther!!!
I may have to watch this another eleventy-ninety-three-thousand times or so. Incredible. I'm in awe.
You will. I know I have

Ms. Warwick was the original singer of this song and good friends with Luther.
He makes singing look so effortless...such a beautiful voice 😍
From 1988. They kept the camera on her because she sang it first in 1966 or '67. Written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach for her. I remember it was a hit or her. But Luther took it to another level. And she knows it.
Now, that's a love song!!!! There's only one Luther.
Every guy got some that night. Guaranteed 🤣

He is the one of the best and I love your review you're the best and I 'm righting from boyfriend pad 🎉
Wow! You are a lucky one!
@@lesaserrato3575 Saw him a couple of times, and his voice, there arent enough fitting superlatives to describe this mans vocal ability.
Spot on I saw him live once in the UK he was incredible the best I have ever heard live.
One word comes to mind when I hear Luther Vandross: Smooooooth.
Gives me goosebumps, his voice is GOLD, stunning performance and he is absolutely gorgeous looking as well RIP Mr Vandross
This brings tears to my eyes. Gone way too young. RIP
Stupendous performance! One of my all time favourite male singers. So moving and flawless. You are so missed Luther.
Dionne did a great rendition of this too. That’s why camera keeps showing her reaction. Brought her to tears. Doesn’t get any better. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It was a tribute for her…that’s why they kept showing her.
@@lanceflx63 yes. I could have worded that better. Thanks 😊
Luther began his career as a back up singer for Dionne Warwick. She encouraged him to sing jingles for commercials ... and then he became the Luther we know and loved.
@@vickismith4180 He actually started as a background singer for David Bowie
Dionne Warwick recorded that song almost 25 years earlier! Written by the great Burt Bacharach, who sadly recently passed.
I LOVE Luther!!!!!! This song always breaks my heart wide open!
100%♥️♥️♥️💥🔥🔥🔥
This man gives me chills every time I hear him sing, R.I.P. Mr Luther Vandross ❤️🇨🇦
I was lucky enough to see Luther live TWICE in the 80s. And he would say throughout the show 'just like the record' because he wanted you to sing along with him. The best live performer ever!!!
Agree! Saw him live in ‘86, The Night I Fell In Love tour. Best concert I’ve ever seen.
I agree, when I saw him in the 80’s he came out saying “ I ain’t gonna mess with your ticket money! I’m gonna bring it! “ and he did!
Yes and he ALWAYS sung If only for One Night with Creep one after the other. And we would go crazy! Plus back in the day the radio stations always played those two back to back.

Love his live performances over the recordings. He's so good.
Bless him. There's nobody that can beat Luther vocally.
"him, the mike & the curtain"
Pure class
Consummate performer
He NEVER sang the same song the same way twice
His ad lib made you wanting more and the way this song keeps you holding on...
He talked while he sang
And it was just the two of you alone
In the room
You knew he was singing ONLY to you...
You felt it deep down, to your toes.
Saw him live numerous times
One of my all time top favorites
❤️❤️❤️
STILL THE GREATEST TO THIS DAY !!!
.....heard him sing this song ( my fav) live ....brought me to tears 🥰🥰🥰
One of the best vocal displays of all time. RIP legend.
Nothing needs to be said.
Listen to it 100 times. It's gets better and better.
The man's voice is an instrument from God.
Love this version of the song live.
God Bless you Luther
Thank u
I’ve always said Luther Vandross is the Best Voice to ever be recorded! This man sounded the same live in concert as he sounded on his records and he had some of the baddest background singers ever!
Watching him genuinely get so much joy out of this makes me just sit here and smile with an occasional head shake☺️. It’s a feel good moment
Best male vocalist performance of all times. A true gifted talent. 🥰👍👏👏👏
Luther's duet with Gregory Hines, There's Nothing Better Than Love, is something to admire

Luther Van Dross is one of the greatest singers of all time! If you haven’t heard it already, his hit Dance With my Father is a must listen!
SPOT ON ! One of my favs by Luther.
That song makes me cry!
When my dad died, it really hit home. Music is so healing and tears can be too!
Makes me cry every time
That was one of Dionne Warwick's signature songs for a couple of decades until Luther came along and he honored her and the song on the epic level!!
He honoured Burt Bacharach who wrote it. It's the best version of it.
I can't say I'm a particular R&B fan, but this video has been on my playlist for years. He was fantastic, and the world is a sorrier place without him in it.
I just LOVE the music of the great Luther Vandross 💕❤️💗👏👍

Voice of gold, wrapped in velvet,and dipped in melted butter. The epitome of smoove as silk.
Him and the mic and the curtain but don’t forget the orchestra! They worked with him beautifully.
The piano was perfect; didn't dominate but enhanced beautifully.
