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
Thank you my Brother for being the Child of GOD❤ We need more people like you! Black or White. Keep doing what you do in music and keep listening too Luther!!😊 GOD BLESS
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….
Today, would have been Luther's 72nd birthday.... it's 2023 and YES !!! I'm still listening to one of the greatest balladeers of my lifetime...RIP Luther 🕊️🕊️🤍🤍
Oh shit. I was actually there. I remember going to the box office when we got there, to pick up our tickets,. only to be told that the mixing desks were in our seats! We were then given tickets for the most unbelievable place ever. Touching distance of the revolving stage. Absolutely amazing night. ❤❤❤ RIP Luther. ❤
I'M A 57 YR. OLD MAN, AND RIGHT NOW INI'M IN TEARS GOING BACK DOWN MEMORY LANE, LISTENING A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME BY LUTHER, THE MEMORIES WILL NEVER BE DUPLICATED, NOR RENEWED. THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE. LORD HAVE MERCY! THE BEST EVER!!
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!!!
+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..
Too just think we were alive at a time they all were out performing putting out music and we were alive during their time here on earth breathing the same air and witnessed the greatest is something to treasure for the rest of our lives 💯…
Its amazing how one human can capture thousands of people's attention without any fancy lights, props, or theatrics. Just him alone on the stage with his music and voice. What a gift the creator allowed this man to have!

Luther was a perfectionist when it came to orchestration and vocal performance. His background singers and band had to be on POINT and they were because Luther would not have it any other way. This is one of the most beautiful songs and performances in his vast repertoire of classic masterful hits.
2024 & until my last days. Been a fan since he released Never to Much. That’s when I fell in love with his love songs. No one comes close to his superior talent!! The day he passed away I cried like I had lost my own family but he was family to me! RIP Luther Vandross ❤
My dad’s been gone twelve years, and my earliest memories were him cooking in the kitchen playing Luther. I’ll forever be grateful for Luther, because he gave me something I can always hold onto and listen and feel my dad until it’s my last day.
True that its so true and with money you can buy a bed , but not sleep.with money you can buy a clock but not time. With money you can buy a house but not a home.
Hello 👋Patricia, how are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Keating wood and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
I’m 36 years old. Mom dukes stayed playing this man’s music on a daily basis, from me being a little boy to becoming a man. His music still slaps! Talk about timeless music!
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.
I remember sitting next to him in a hair salon many years ago on Flatbush Aveune in Brooklyn. I was so star struck I couldn't speak. Rest in peace Luther.
Yes... yes... yes... we're here... we're here, sorry I was busy watching the many other Sir Luther Vandross links as I'm sure many others were... Luther is truly one of a kind and his music will forever live on.
I am a teenager, however this song is beautiful. It's one of the saddest songs I have ever listened to. I cry almost every time I listen to it. It reminds me of a house in a prairie where its sunny and you just have moved in. Truly a great song.
I cry because I can visualize my dad listening to Luther Vandross every time I hear his voice. I'm a 33 year old grown man. My dad passed away in 2020 at 61.
Never have I heard a voice as pure as Mr. Luther's was. I've been looking, but no success so far. The man truly had a unique gift and I feel incredibly fortunate to have grown up listening to his voice.
Luther made this song his own. R.I.P I regret forever not ever seeing him in concert, but forever grateful to hear his tunes forever ❤ autotune?? What an absolute joke and not needed at all for this master.
I'm so sad i never got to see him in person, but my dad had a VHS tape of one of his concerts. The set changes and background dancers and singers took his amazing talent to the next realm!
I feel with THIS SONG he showed me to love myself my HOUSE (mind body and soul) was not my HOME. I love me. I'm sorry I allowed broken me hurt me looking for love in others instead of LOVING ME.
@@ralex3697 yep I half of the singers if it wasn't for auto tune pirobly be sounding like dead cats dying there are very few artists that has that true vocals
Whomever put a thumbs down on luther is hard of hearing or has no real clue what a blessed musician Luther Vandross was Luther was one of the greatest singers in the world . 💛
How do you define this performance? Luther cannot be defined. Just a maestro in every sense of the word. 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.
Rance Allen, Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, and Whitney Houston are the world's best vocalists. Others are close, but these 4 here can't be touched, in my humble opinion.
It’s 2023. This is the greatest soul singer of all time in my opinion. There are some other greats for sure but to my ears it’s not particularly close.
R&B and old school as it's called now really echos in me. Luther puts those deep feelings of love into words. The longing for real love. He does it most beautifully from a man's perspective. God Bless Luther and may he rest peacefully.🙏
I Am and I Never get tired of listening to LUTHER VAN DROSS. HE HAS THE VOICE NO ONE CAN KNOCK OFF THE SHELF. LOVE HIS MUSIC LOVE HIS GIFT TO TOUCH OUR HEARTS. HE LIVES ON IN PUR HEARTS❤❤❤ SO HES ALWAYS HERE
When he walked pass that mic I was like "HALLELUJAH!!!! PURE TALENT!" lol he's so talented all he gotta do is walk pass a mic and the crowd goes crazy!
The walk pass the mic will never be repeated. Gosh Luther is a God and rest his beautiful soul. Must be nice in heaven for sure. Still listening in 22 August 2020🙌 🎶 🎵 🪕 😍
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.

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.
It has the same effect on me. The man was to reference one of his songs, so amazing.

Sing not scream
@@reemoore1174 Correct. Definitely not a scream. He’s not these new singers lol.
😂😂 literally looked at this comment as he did it
Very true
Me. I just celebrated my 66th birthday. Luther is always going to be a part of that.
Never have I heard a voice as pure as Mr. Luther's was. I've been looking, but no success so far. The man truly had a unique gift and I feel incredibly fortunate to have grown up listening to his voice.

Listen to Javier Colon. Noooooo comparison to Lufer but he shows that you can sing a great song without being extra
Chorrell Klaverweide what about Teddy
larry brown Teddy was and still is great! But there is something about listening to Luther Vandross that is just absolutely mesmerising.
yes that guy was incredible
No one can sing about a house like this man! RIP Mr. Velvet.
Luther made this song his own. R.I.P I regret forever not ever seeing him in concert, but forever grateful to hear his tunes forever ❤ autotune?? What an absolute joke and not needed at all for this master.
Luther Vandross, THE MATADOR...
The way he started this song, along with his vocal control is OUTSTANDING...
Yes indeed no one can compare
WONDERFUL 💎❤️🙏🎆
Don't trip , Luther for ever
Lord this man was so so, OMG, I can never stop listening to him. Luther and Whitney were not here long enough. Thank you Lord for these gifts.
I jays live
I was fortunate to experience Luther and Whitney live in concert. Where Whitney Huston was the opening act for the Luther.
Lauryn WJackson hi
I’m 65 years old and I love all the Luther Vandross music
what a command of the stage this man had....................
He is truly missed 💔
If you've never seen him in concert, you missed out on the greatest sounds made by a human that will ever touch your ears♥️
Simply amazing and funny
Luther touched by god
I'm so sad i never got to see him in person, but my dad had a VHS tape of one of his concerts. The set changes and background dancers and singers took his amazing talent to the next realm!
His mnusec is still mnusec even now
I never did... He is the most beautiful man in my lifetime 2022
"THE VOICE".... Never gets old...2021 and still transcend time 💜

I feel with THIS SONG he showed me to love myself my HOUSE (mind body and soul) was not my HOME.
I love me. I'm sorry I allowed broken me hurt me looking for love in others instead of LOVING ME.
Such a smooth easy to listen voice to this day his music is off the charts 💖❤️
This talent does not exist today. Auto tune, profanity and nakedness is what we have 2024
bold claims from someone who does not dig deeper to find good music. sad.
@@ralex3697 yep I half of the singers if it wasn't for auto tune pirobly be sounding like dead cats dying there are very few artists that has that true vocals
Whomever put a thumbs down on luther is hard of hearing or has no real clue what a blessed musician Luther Vandross was Luther was one of the greatest singers in the world . 💛
Thanks 4 making moments even more special Luther, GOD bless your rest.
Wow after all these years. I've still no words, his talent and voice blow me away every time !!!! With tears.......
He makes my liver quiver omg love this man
My wife love this man
Yes! No auto tune, no flashy lights, just a man and his voice....Jesus this was a gift...still is...
Paula's Life As are mine😭
Right!
All I can think of is Black love 🌙🌠
You're not the only one listening
a house is not a home has been one of my favorite songs this is what a married should hope for. trust the lord with your marriage
Amen Amen to that.
Amen. That was my wedding song
@@lonniewells-buckner1661 Amen
I could listen to Luther sing 24/7 one of the greatest vocalist of our time
How do you define this performance? Luther cannot be defined. Just a maestro in every sense of the word. 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.
Rance Allen, Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, and Whitney Houston are the world's best vocalists. Others are close, but these 4 here can't be touched, in my humble opinion.
You should have added two more. Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye and that list is complete for me
😮
😅
😅😅? Kevin Gates Kevin Gates super grim
@@philliptaylor3855😐
Am I the only one listening to this song in 2024 and tearing up?
Nope
No. 😭❤️
Gods voice
I'm still listening everyday 😊
I'm listening to it now...
It’s 2023. This is the greatest soul singer of all time in my opinion. There are some other greats for sure but to my ears it’s not particularly close.
Big or small luther- I loved him all
Jazzy j Atlanta hi
me too.
Jazzy j Atlanta me too!

No gimmicks, just vocals. Oh how I miss you Luther.. Big & Little Luther
0opo9opp
Hay I am 78 trust all the comments here are so on target. Blessed voices on earth the Lord sent. The other is me. 😊
Can’t believe I was there ...I never heard such perfection ...this whole performance was blazing 🥵
This was in London?
@@Skyjuice70 no at ..Madison square garden and it was fabulous
Forever
You are so lucky. You never know that you taking part of something that is once in a lifetime and that will become a rarity later on.
Omg how old were you? What a treat!
I'm still listening and it's 2022 this man music will be heard forever I just hope other generations can appreciate it. Because it's all that.
Of course! yes yes I'm on your team! LOL
Will never stop listen to Luther Vandross ever. We miss You Mr Vandross ❤🕊
Good music is timeless😊
❤exactly one if not the best vocalist to ever do it rip me vandross
Like Pavarotti, the man didn’t need a microphone, his voice filled the hall.
R&B and old school as it's called now really echos in me.
Luther puts those deep feelings of love into words. The longing for real love. He does it most beautifully from a man's perspective.
God Bless Luther and may he rest peacefully.🙏
Luther is one of the ONLY ones who can AND will bring me to tears. Every. Single. Time. Such an angelic voice. I love him so much.
The way he glided past that mic.... legendary!!! The Greatest ❤️
Ikr just added a lil something extra!💖💖💖
Celeste Carpenterr Teddy Pendergast and Luther !
Yes
I like that how you put it😉
Luther Vandross could not be touched with his vocals. Best artist of all times. Voice impeccable. Could listen to his music day and night
I Am and I Never get tired of listening to LUTHER VAN DROSS. HE HAS THE VOICE NO ONE CAN KNOCK OFF THE SHELF. LOVE HIS MUSIC LOVE HIS GIFT TO TOUCH OUR HEARTS. HE LIVES ON IN PUR HEARTS❤❤❤ SO HES ALWAYS HERE
A crooner like this only comes along once a century. Expect the next one around 2080. This is natural talent; you can't be taught to sing this way.
@bike suisala: Think about it, Frank Sinatra, Jesse Norman, Billie Holiday, Theodore Pendergrass; who can even imitate these artist today?
When he walked pass that mic I was like "HALLELUJAH!!!! PURE TALENT!" lol he's so talented all he gotta do is walk pass a mic and the crowd goes crazy!
Garcia Chaney RIGHT? EXACTLY. PURE 💯 TALENT
His singing makes me cry...so heartfelt. This song is timeless
Yes Lord right to your heart
I bet a lot of babies were made with the sounds of Luther in the background. Rip Artist.
❤
I don't think there has ever been a better performance of this song than this one. Perfection.
RoscoeTravis I totally agree
He's done better. Trust.
ruclips.net/video/Gu2JBMNBbKo/видео.html
I submit this as a better performance of this song by him.
Darren4352 I agree, the NAACP performance was out of this world. But this Wembley is almost as good.
RoscoeTravis
His vocal range is absolutely amazing!!!
The walk pass the mic will never be repeated. Gosh Luther is a God and rest his beautiful soul. Must be nice in heaven for sure. Still listening in 22 August 2020🙌 🎶 🎵 🪕 😍
Great good meaning for respect to love
Chante Moore does a great walk past the mic.
Nn
Sure u right😎😎😎
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😢
No technology behind this beautiful, gifted voice. 2021 still listening ❤️
25 January 2022 still listening to one of the best voices
Always ... Just One Luther!
@@DJR6546 the most beautiful natural voice
Ayye
The walk past the mic... Lord. This man. ❤
If I say I sing like that
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.
There will NEVER be another Luther
