    I'm a 54 yr old white "metalhead" Bass guitarist, not that ANY of that matters in any way but when you have the voice of such an amazing voice like this and such a brilliant band backing that voice anyway, the world becomes such a place of beauty and hope again!!! 😉❤️💖

      That's what's missing in our world now - music no longer brings people together - i was born in the mid 70s and was raised around all types of music (jazz, r&b, blues, rock, metal, etc.) - now, we are so divided, it's sad - bring back REAL music full of that beauty and hope

    I am 60 years old man and this is the most magical performance ever!! My eyes are filled with tears. My mother died 2 weeks after I got married, and she was too sick to attend the wedding. I had an intense dream after she passed where we danced together at my wedding to this song. It breaks me to pieces when I hear this song. This rendition of a House Is Not A Home is the most beautiful rendition ever!! A true masterpiece….

    As a studio musician, Luther had incredible precision with his voice. He could easily have been an opera singer, but he chose a R&B career and made some enduring music. Notice he doesn't have an earpiece feeding him a backing track. That man had a computer in his head, and could remember his arrangements perfectly. There are very few people who can perform live close to studio quality like he could, without the aid of a backing track to guide them.
    He contributed to other people's music; who can forget Bowie's use of Luther? And his work with Aretha? He was such a quality musician, everything he touched was great. Unfortunately in his lifetime, it was not possible for a gay black man to be accepted singing love songs, so he didn't have much personal freedom, and had to be very careful. I love his work, and have most of his recordings. This is one of his most beautiful songs. Look carefully at his lips from 9:20 on as ends the song, and moves so precisely, like surgeon, he dishes out the enunciations one after another in slow motion.
    I wish that white radio had played more of his songs, only a few actually crossed over, and then he could have been recognized as the giant of music that he was. He was a major artist, but he could have been even more famous than he was. He only sold 35 million albums approximately, and had he been let onto the MOR radio stations more, he could have tripled that easily to 100 million.
    R.I.P. Luther, we love you!!!

    • @edwarddejong8025

      +29Prolife Luther did the backing vocals on the young american album,
      from www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2014/06/15/322274193/who-can-i-be-now-how-david-bowie-spent-1974
      In early August, many of the band members gathered in Philadelphia to begin work on the album that would become Young Americans, which is where the R&B transformation truly took hold.
      While Bowie had originally intended to work with the house band at the city's Sigma Sound - which had spawned hits by The O'Jays, Lou Rawls, The Three Degrees and Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes - they were unavailable due to a scheduling conflict, and he brought in several members of his touring band, as well as some key new collaborators who would play a huge role in the album: Alomar; his wife, soul singer Robin Clark; and a young friend, future R&B superstar Luther Vandross. The latter two, along for the ride, were playfully riffing on one of the songs in the studio; Bowie loved it and had them sing on nearly every song. It was the first high-profile work of Vandross' career.

      Thankyou for this thoughtful and informative post about Luther; I did not know about The Bowie connection. ... I was at this event in Wembley and it still sends shivers down my spine when I see recordings of that night....His vocals were just like the vinyl I had of him and I couldn't believe how perfect he was live that night and I was part of that . Pure class, it was a HUGE privilege to see this great artist live. .... Perfect timing, tone and diction.... RIP Mr.Vandross..

    One night a long time ago (1981) I was in the USAF living in the dormitory at March AFB in CA. One night as I was getting ready to go to my midnight shift, I was listening to this song. I waited for it to end and then I grabbed my hat and opened the door. To my surprise there was a young female airman (they lived on the top floor) sitting outside my door. She looked up at me literally crying her eyes out. She said she was sitting there for the whole time just listening to the song through the door and had never heard anything so beautiful in her life. That was weird in a sweet way ... spoke volumes to Luther's gift.

A singing tour-de-force for his innate understanding, sensitivity and absolute control of his craft and music. But it's the way he sings in all his nuances and connects each of his songs, like this classic, so deeply to his audience that sets him apart in another sphere. RIP.

      Darren4352 I agree, the NAACP performance was out of this world. But this Wembley is almost as good.

    I'm a 70's baby and Luther has given me this jewel to live by that many immature people don't realize. I heart goes out to these babies😢

    Yesterday marked the 15th anniversary of his passing and the only artist who did 2 things, (1) make a remake sound original and (2) when he passed men cried (I did). Rest on genius your music will live forever. Thanks for your music making a couple of generations.
