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!!! 😉❤️💖

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….
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 ❤
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 🕊️🕊️🤍🤍
This song is extremely complex for any vocalist and Luther just does it effortlessly. He is carrying the song himself and there are times when the music drops out and he is just left to hit them notes with no help. Amazing! This is why many trained vocalists won’t even touch his stuff because it is just too difficult to do and do well. Luther was a legend.
Hello Benjamin: It sounds like you’re a vocal coach. I agree, another vocalist that can hit those high notes, Mariah Carey, the late Whitney Houston and the late Minnie Ripperton. Such a beautiful song.
Blake D Freddie is not in this bracket. Sorry but Ray Michael Stevie Luther James Marvin are in this bracket. Freddie is with John Paul Elvis and Frank below these guys.
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!!
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. ❤
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
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.

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.
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!
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 💯…
I am still listening to the great Luther in November 2024. It will never be another. His voice is truly from the Mighty God above. ❤️❤️❤️ Rest in Jesus!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
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'm 43yrs old and have been listening to Luther since a kid growing up. Pure Godly Talent. Ty sir for your music, your voice .. never will be another rip
Big FACTZZZZ im 44 and I grow up on this too but I never expected that I'll be sitting in the same position as they did 38 years ago and listening to this exact same Song 🥹‼️
@@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
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.
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!
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.
You just couldn't help your self it was too good to yours ears there is no stopping when Luther Vandross is playing in the back ground my child is 30 now 😅😅😅 ik the feeling
WHAT A TALENT remember this concert was the first time seeing him live and one I will never forget. What a honour to be there.by far the best concert I ever attended. Boy can this man sing . It’s now 2024 and I am 60 and it still brings so much joy and happiness every time I hear he’s music. UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST MALE VOCALISTS OF ALL TIME . RIP Luther thank you for your music it makes me feel happy every time I listen to you 👑🙏
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.
Me, too!! 68 and still being moved by this man. We were so lucky to have had him in the world with us, but he passed from us far too soon. ❤ RIP Luther💔🙏

Silk, velvet, smooth, unmatched... God broke the mold when he gave the world this gift we came to know as Luther Vandross. His music will undoubtedly live on for eternity. Thank you Luther for the incredible music and memories. S.I.P.
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 . 💛
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..
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.
My father sang this to my mother 43years ago and she fell into his arms and here I am today. Young gentlemen this song is powerful and it will show you the true power of love. Don't pull this out unless you plan on loving her with all of your mind, body and soul.
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.

Luther Vandross could not be touched with his vocals. Best artist of all times. Voice impeccable. Could listen to his music day and night
that man's range is absolutely insane... and it all sounds soft as a feather... gosh I miss his music!!
Me too.. me too.
I love his smooth incredible voice. Only one like him in my lifetime❤
Luther had an incredible voice. Taken too soon. He deserves to be recognized as one of the best voices in our time. Miss good music!
He did this without effort. Monster vocalist. Straight nailed it!!

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.

I just recently learned that his father was a magnificent singer and that is where this beautiful voice comes from....amazing.

Hay I am 78 trust all the comments here are so on target. Blessed voices on earth the Lord sent. The other is me. 😊
The walk past the mic... Lord. This man. ❤
If I say I sing like that
Silk, velvet, smooth, unmatched... God broke the mold when he gave the world this gift we came to know as Luther Vandross. His music will undoubtedly live on for eternity. Thank you Luther for the incredible music and memories. S.I.P.

Ya better believe it

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.
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!!!
+Edward De Jong thats the first thing i noticed too. no earpiece.
How did David Bowie use Luther? Id be interested in looking at that
+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..
Please stop with this tech b/s just listen and let it "hit" you 👊🏿👊🏿
I get sad all over again. Wish he was still here. There will never be another. Truly in a class all by himself!,💖💖
Me too!
Insane voice and talent.
Yes sir
I get sad right Now before I read your comments😅
How did he die
Those walk bys are both legendary and hilarious
Pure Unadultered Talent... Miss you Luther
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.
This man had angelic vocals. R.I.P. Luther Vandross
Jona
He is The Voice...Love Him...I am 62 y/o..Miss him..He was the Papi of 70 and 80...
The best 🎉
can't no one do it better. years after his death and no one has been able to fill his shoes. greatly missed !
Crying as I listen.
Thank you
Me too Tazzy V.
There will ALWAYS BE "ONE LUTHER".
There are many male vocalists I've heard of since the 70's. Luther is on the top of my list. Thank you God for blessing him with that wonderful voice.
There will never be another Luther Vandross...So loved and cherished and missed. Rest in Paradise.💔
@GreatGrandmaAnon absolutely, such a blessed individual with a beautiful voice. His music is still with us, plz enjoy.
Burt Bacharach and Luther Vandross. Two exceptional musicians now making music in the heavens
Dionne Warwick (dated Bacharach, too) did a gorgeous rendition of this, as well.
He bad, my kids came from listening to him❤
OMG/G!!!! This Brotha's voice/talent is truly amazingly Blacknificent!!!
Just loop this on a DVD player. Then let it stay on while you gone from the house.
Lmao
Vocally I don't think there's ever been anyone as smooth as this guy and I don't think there ever will be.
100% with you there. Silky smooth, arguably the greatest!
Hands Down The Best
they said the same thing bout Nate King Cole, there is always "a ram in the brush!" 9/2020
He is still the greatest and always will be. He’s smooth. It was and is one of the best romantic songs ever.
Beg to differ, Johnny Mathis was just as smooth.
This was when music was music you could understand it and feel it
Hello Susan how are you doing today hope things are fine
Wow, still so breathtakingly beautiful. Timeless and classic
My father sang this to my mother 43years ago and she fell into his arms and here I am today. Young gentlemen this song is powerful and it will show you the true power of love. Don't pull this out unless you plan on loving her with all of your mind, body and soul.
Song they shit❤❤ spice love you
The music is just an accessory. Luther is raw and pure God-given talent. RIP Mr. Mellow.
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😐
Luther's "A House is Not a Home" is the standard for slow-jamz that others can only hope to aspire to.
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...
