You got right! He could sing his songs so wonderfully and you never get tired of hearing a n L.V. tune. Now when it comes to someone else's song...well. Luther Vandross can bring a new dynamic to anybody else's song. In other words, he can outsing a song of anyone else's. Sorry Sam, but Luther put some life into his song.
I listened to Sam Cook and he was good but Luther was SO much better. I know he has been gone for almost 8 years but no one since has come close to his level. Luther has always been and will always be my favorite singer. RIP sweet Luther. You are missed every second of everyday.
I remember seeing this as a child smh, Luther absolutely killed his version. Not comparing it to Sam Cooke's because his is classic, but this too is classic
Y'all know he have a brother who have the same voice Go to Luther funeral and listen his family's singing and you hear his brother so much like his(Luther)
I was about to hate on Luther thinking it wouldn't sound right with him singing this song... I know, slap me. Love you, Luther. Love you, Sam Cooke. Love you, Al Greene.
Luther's voice made that place seem like a classic Colosseum or even a stadium. He told the whole story, no point in comparing this was Luther's version!
You are absolutely spot on. Luther was the man. He had a god given talent and the lord giveth and the lord taketh away. Sadly. Always loved luther and his choices in music were timeless.
who really care who he loved-----his singing is a gift from God and another generation where singers (soul) was often overlooked, but Luther was something else...He sang from his heart and change the songs to his voice and his singing style......thank u for beautiful music
Luther Vandross can sing any song. I've sung his songs in front of people. I have sickle cell disease and I pray the words of this song someday ring true. I have had so many painful days and sleepless painful nights. The doctors don't help. This pain is excruciating and nerve wracking. My family and friends can't understand. I pray God does male a change. We have no one else.
dblkrailfan hey! I'm a fellow warrior as well. Please join the sickle cell unite group on Facebook. We definitely understand what you go through. Keep your head up Hun.
It amazes me that someone who doesn't understand the depth of history, and the many facets that comprise it and allow us to be open to the vastness of songs, poems, speeches, and generational stories that have s
I agree with Steve Harvey that Luther was one of the greatest singers who lived,and this is a great rendition of a classic,but SAM COOKE is THE greatest singer who ever lived! Listen to WONDERFUL by SAM COOKE and THE SOUL STIRRERS and tell me who is the best. I do miss Luther,though.R.I.P.
I never thought growing up listening to my parents music and the blues would stick with me. I listen to my old school jams 70,80,90 Blues more so now than today's rap music I don't like most of it. BLUES AND OLD SCHOOL ALL THE WAY
PREACH!! PREACH!! Luther has NEVER sang a bad song in his life and he absolutely KILLED this song! Luther could sing the theme to the old TV shoW The Facts of Life and make it sound GREAT!! This man could sing about DOG SHIT and make it sound GREAT!
Luther OWNED this song that night, and pretty much everyone who has attempted to sing it since. I will give honorable mentions to Sam Cooke, Patti LaBelle, and Al Green.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I still think that David Brown's AI Season 4 audition is one of the best I have ever heard of this song.
Nothing is better than the original (Sam Cooke), but I never mind hearing Luther sing anything! I so wish he was still here with us today. We don't get much of this kind of singing anymore :(
LUTHER VANDROSS WAS INCREDIBLE! Luther was a musical genius - who sang with great soul. Every time I watch a Luther video, I am once again amazed at his great talent. I know of no other singer who compared. May God Bless Luther VanDross!
one thing i love about this version is how he's changed the lyrics in the bridges to make them more sympathetic, he only stayed on his knees because they couldn't help him. in reality sam had 3 brothers he loved very much and were huge parts of his professional life, L.C, Charlie and Dave, sometimes sam had to explain to the media and his fans that 'my brother' just meant the establishment, or his fellow man. these lyrics are much better, and thanks for uploading, this is now in my top five Change covers, maybe top three :) :)
OMG!!! I Miss Luther. He sang the hell out of this song! God, I miss his music. God I miss his voice. God I miss how he can take a song and make it his own! Rest in peace, my brother.
I am the first to admit to not being a huge fan of Luther, more of a casual liking of his music but this version of the song is absolutely phenomenal. Luther makes singing look as easy as merely speaking for us mortals, he shows huge emotion and sings with a real sense of feeling the pain within the lyrics, truly outstanding and the duet with him and Sam Cook would be something to behold!!
this is the definitive version of this song.....Luther put his mark on it nearly 30 years ago and i have yet to see a better version, even the original, im sorry its just true........the feelings this Man exudes through this song are just POWERFUL!!!
What an excellent version of this song..Change as gonna come...Beautifully song by the late Luther Vandross with his remarkable vocals... But whom could have expected anything less.
Awesome rendition of this classic. More updated version i love it Luther is the man. If you prefer the original version check out Otis Redding back in the day he was as bad as Sam and Al.
I thank God That he blessed us with all those who love him and share what he blessed them with thank you lord for this song and your child Mr. Luther Vandross
Growing up listening to Luther Vandross Music was awesome ? When I listen today it sound like he just wrote it yesterday? One of the Greatest Musician I feel deeply for and truly love and respect his music. There can only be One Luther Vand ross with all the Love and support thank you for giving and sharing your excellent talent to the whole universe with all the same respect.
So Amazingly Beautiful....love both versions of two of the world's most top legends, may the both continue to rest in heavenly peace, the late Mr. Sam Cooke and Mr. Luther Vandross....don't ever stop singing up in heaven!
Why do we always have to argue about which version is better? If you love good music you will appreciate both Luther and Sam's version and most of the other versions too. It's a great song which lends itself to multiple interpretations.
If any true music lover looks in his heart, you clearly have to say that this man is the best to have ever done it! Everything about his sound is amazing!!!!

I can feel this in my soul. Nobody sings like Luther, he could sing the Alphabets, and make you feel it!
I listened to Sam Cook and he was good but Luther was SO much better. I know he has been gone for almost 8 years but no one since has come close to his level. Luther has always been and will always be my favorite singer. RIP sweet Luther. You are missed every second of everyday.
The best r&b singer of our time.
All time

I saw Luther several times in concert. He always put on a great show. There will never be another.
My mom use too play me luther vandross as a little boy and I now share him with my kids.
I remember seeing this as a child smh, Luther absolutely killed his version. Not comparing it to Sam Cooke's because his is classic, but this too is classic

Luther man oh man we've lost a great talent. A God giving talent. The BEST vocalist of my time. May you rest in peace BROTHER.
He was gifted with such a glorious voice. Beautiful rendition of a difficult song to sing properly. RIP Luther.
Fabulous version of the classic. What a voice. RIP.

In my mind, THE SINGLE MOST TALENTED MALE SINGER EVER! EVER! EVER!

Dean Toyer prayers to you and your family

who really care who he loved-----his singing is a gift from God and another generation where singers (soul) was often overlooked, but Luther was something else...He sang from his heart and change the songs to his voice and his singing style......thank u for beautiful music
true showmanship of a artist, the man could take a song a paint a picture of his own everytime he sung someone elses song
Luther is one of the most amazing voices of the last century........clear and perfect.
Aug 2024 and still missing this wonderful man! One of Gods gifts that he took to early from us!! RIP Luther!! ♥️🙏♥️🇬🇧🇺🇸
Only just discovered this and have watched it at least 50 times. Absolutely criminal that this version isn’t available to buy. SENSATIONAL!!!
Luther Vandross can sing any song. I've sung his songs in front of people. I have sickle cell disease and I pray the words of this song someday ring true.

Luther mastered the baritone voice
The smoothness in which he did it is amazing!!!!!!

Presumably, the 17 people who disliked this stellar performance have checked themselves into an asylum for the criminally DEAF!!
I agree with Steve Harvey that Luther was one of the greatest singers who lived,and this is a great rendition of a classic,but SAM COOKE is THE greatest singer who ever lived! Listen to WONDERFUL by SAM COOKE and THE SOUL STIRRERS and tell me who is the best. I do miss Luther,though.R.I.P.
The LORD ALMIGHTY is REAL and WONDERFUL, HE gave different talent to every HUMAN!

Blues more so now than today's rap music I don't like most of it.
BLUES AND OLD SCHOOL ALL THE WAY
PREACH!! PREACH!! Luther has NEVER sang a bad song in his life and he absolutely KILLED this song! Luther could sing the theme to the old TV shoW The Facts of Life and make it sound GREAT!! This man could sing about DOG SHIT and make it sound GREAT!
Let it be known by all: Luther Vandross is the geatest male vocalist in history!
A "CHANGE DID COME' TOOOO SOON FOR HIM. MAY GOD BLESS HIM FOR ALL THE HAPPINESS HE BROUGHT IN OTHERS LIVES!!!
Luther OWNED this song that night, and pretty much everyone who has attempted to sing it since. I will give honorable mentions to Sam Cooke, Patti LaBelle, and Al Green.

only Luther Vandross can put his personal touch on this, Love me some Luther :0)
He killed that "momma mom ma ma ma ma ma mommaaaaa"
My man Luther...the greatest vocalist of all times💕💕🌹🌹🌹
Nothing is better than the original (Sam Cooke), but I never mind hearing Luther sing anything! I so wish he was still here with us today. We don't get much of this kind of singing anymore :(

LUTHER VANDROSS WAS INCREDIBLE!
Luther was a musical genius - who sang with great soul. Every time I watch a Luther video, I am once again amazed at his great talent. I know of no other singer who compared. May God Bless Luther VanDross!
This is great!! Sam Cook would be proud!! Thank You!!
AMEN. AMEN. AGREED. You speak the TRUTH! Bless YOU."Lutherizing" is 1 of my fave things to hear. That & "Rufusizing" via Chaka & the boys. : )
Anthony Hamilton I think gave one of the most powerful delivery's!!!
one thing i love about this version is how he's changed the lyrics in the bridges to make them more sympathetic, he only stayed on his knees because they couldn't help him. in reality sam had 3 brothers he loved very much and were huge parts of his professional life, L.C, Charlie and Dave, sometimes sam had to explain to the media and his fans that 'my brother' just meant the establishment, or his fellow man. these lyrics are much better, and thanks for uploading, this is now in my top five Change covers, maybe top three :) :)

A matchless voice !! I miss him ! R&B at it's best !!!
I cried when I saw this song performed on tv back in the day. I cried when I saw it today. Luthe singing Sam. DAMN!!!
This is a really good version. Have to say I was surprised.
Awakened at 3am with this song in my spirit. Good God...Vandross!!
this is the definitive version of this song.....Luther put his mark on it nearly 30 years ago and i have yet to see a better version, even the original, im sorry its just true........the feelings this Man exudes through this song are just POWERFUL!!!
Sam Cooke & Luther Vandross: best soul artists (in my opinion at least)
I miss this voice! May you continue to rest in peace..............xoxoxo
after seeing Al Green ,,,, well there is no one like Al......
What an excellent version of this song..Change as gonna come...Beautifully song by the late Luther Vandross with his remarkable vocals... But whom could have expected anything less.
Awesome rendition of this classic. More updated version i love it Luther is the man. If you prefer the original version check out Otis Redding back in the day he was as bad as Sam and Al.
The Greatest Vocalist Of All Time Luther Vandross...Yep...Yep...One Love Fam...
2019.. we still love you Luther!! RIP
What a voice - what a loss. So glad I was fortunate to see him live before he left us.
What a set of pipes! God bless Luther.
Luther was the truth!!! Love this version! RIP My Mr.Vandross
He was the best performance I've known and seen. There will never be another voice like Mr Luther Vandross. Rest in peace my brother.
I think that Luther being gay brings meaning to this song in a manner no one else but Luther could deliver.
I thank God That he blessed us with all those who love him and share what he blessed them with thank you lord for this song and your child Mr. Luther Vandross
Otis Redding did this song a lot of justice also. His version and the emotions can never be out done.
Luther was just damn too fine in this vid!

So Majestic.... oh Luther🙌🙌🙌😭😭😭
Wow! The power of this song; love the many versions Sam's, Al's, Aretha's, but Luther's tapped my heart. Miss him and his music.
If any true music lover looks in his heart, you clearly have to say that this man is the best to have ever done it! Everything about his sound is amazing!!!!
I surprised that this video has only one hundred thousand views above my million.
