Dionne Warwick Reaction
A House Is Not A Home Reaction
Empress Reaction
"A House Is Not a Home" is a 1964 ballad recorded by American singer Dionne Warwick, and written by the team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the 1964 film of the same name, starring Shelley Winters and Robert Taylor. The song was a modest hit in the United States for Warwick, peaking at #71 on the pop singles chart as the B-side of the top 40 single, "You'll Never Get to Heaven (If You Break My Heart)". Another version of the song, by Brook Benton, which was the version that appeared in the film, was released at nearly the same time. It debuted two weeks earlier on the Billboard Hot 100. Benton's version split airplay with Warwick's, and ultimately peaked at #75.
Warwick's version of "A House Is Not a Home" fared better in Canada, where it was a top 40 hit, peaking at #37. The ballad made the R&B top 10 in Cashbox by both Warwick and Benton, with neither artist specified as best seller.
Despite its modest initial success, the song went on to achieve greater renown through frequent recordings by other artists, including a hit version in 1981 by Luther Vandross.

One of the great crooners of the 80's!
Luther is by far the smoothest male singer ever. Soulful and romantic. RIP
🔥 - #1 Balladeer, ever. RIP, legend. 😢 ♥
Hence, the 2000s lyric 🎶Imma play this VanDross u gonna...🎶
I had the privilege to hear Luther at a sound check in the early 1990's and he sounds EXACTLY like this! It was mid-day with no band, no taped music, mixing board, nothing but simply getting sound levels for the show at Reunion Arena in Dallas. He was in street clothes and I decided then and there that he had the clearest, prettiest natural voice I will ever hear the rest of my life. He was and always will be missed.
Niice‼
I saw him in 85
Whenever you get to hear a cat. You know they're a cat.
Lawrence welk. One of the best shows of all time. Weekly event before music videos. An orchestra in different sets. Everybody dressed up doing whatever was popping at the time. But like just really good pretty session cats doing the hits. It's the kind of show you would want to do today. Imagine hearing a song on the radio and bringing it to your buddies and playing the brakes off of it because you and your buddies are the finest musicians on earth and you have everything every instrument and vocal combination live. Nadia's theme. Aka young and the restless aka no more drama is wonderful to mesmerizing.
Burt Bacharach is the king of beasts today. Hits for
Luther
Dionne
Aretha
Roberta
Stevie wonder
You've personally probably gotten a standing ovation singing Burt Bacharach.
Luther said Dionne Warwick was his musical inspiration, why he covered so many songs she performed (and written for her by Burt B), beyond their hit duet. He made them his in covers.
I was lucky enough not only to have seen Luther perform live 7 times but I also happened to be in the audience for this performance as well. Absolute perfection! Anyone whose voice can affect you emotionally has truly mastered their craft and Mr. Vandross exceeded this beyond measure. Happy Heavenly Birthday! So glad I found this on his day!
The Fabulous 5: Luther, Al Green, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding.
Please do not forget the beautiful arrangement.
💯
I remember this performance vividly. I was in college and many of us were in our dorm rooms on a freezing cold Saturday night. The funny thing is I remember people would debate who the best singer was. After this performance I remember people saying “ok Luther’s that dude” LOL
Oh wow
That's not an ordinary audience, Empress.
That's the live performance at the 1988 NAACP Image Awards.
The men and women there are studded with gifted talent. I think that's why the audience shows a tremendous appreciation for Luther's performance. They know; from their own talent, how great a performance they're witnessing.
He really put on a show for them.
🔥🔥🔥
Yep. Denzel Washington introduced him before he started singing
Exactly, I said, the same thing in that audience are some of the best singers and entertainers of that generation, and Luther had them mesmerized.
her voice
Just to let you know, I’ve watched several reactions to this video and yours is this most authentic and real! You are so fun to watch !
Wow I appreciate that!
Luther did Wembley stadium in England. 80,000 people each night. Three nights in a row. This man was a legend. Great reaction. I'm a new subscriber.
Towards the end of Luther’s tribute, when the camera zooms in up close on Dionne and she wipes away a tear, you can definitely see the family resemblance with Whitney. I’m sure she must have also performed at this event?
I enjoy your energy and comments! Luther Vandross would play and slay with his hypnotic voice and vocal gymnastics.
thank u!!
This made me tear up! Luther's voice!💖
Fat Luther, skinny Luther, or medium Luther, love them all. Vocals💯💯. Stand Up!! Easy Singer. That's him just singing by himself gotta hear him with his backing singers live.
His records gotten better during his music career just as his singing did even when on live or in the singing booth. My momma was the reason I was listening to this soul man Luther Vandross fr!
This is the best I've heard a song sung.
FLAWLESS. Luther gave me chills. Forever obsessed w/ the Dionne version.
He's like a master of the Masters locally to me in my opinion
There are a few singers I adore as much as Luther but if it was a competition for best male singer of all time, it would have to be him. It's just effortless, God given skill. People could learn to be as technically gifted as him but they would never have that velvet tone. One of a kind.
Kindred spirits! I just did a Luther reaction and the Paetrons must of heard my cries for this man to request this for Empress to react to! Whew!! This man vocally!!!!!! 😍😍😍
He’s was sooo good!!! What a talent!! Dionne look good there too!! Her hair looked great there 😀
Not a singer alive or dead that can match Luther Live......was able to see him in concert and he sounds exactly like this......he plays with the sound and makes it new each time.
You know iam a man that loves women but this day I wanted to buy Luther some flowers and candlelight dinner. Okay!!!
Loved the reaction!
Thanks!
I guess the first time I heard Luther Vandross was on a Folgers commercial or KFC or something. Then he came out with The Glow of Love and I was a fan immediately. I’m 65 and every time I hear this I still tear up.
I saw this when it aired live. I was at my cousin house and we were all playing bid whist. We all paused and stop and watch this performance. It was magical and I thank god I was recording it on my VCR. Yes, the VCR…..lol. I personally saw Luther perform live many times though out here in Cali.
This may be my favorite live performance by any-damn-body! (And so far - my favorite reaction by Empress💖). Luther was such a showman who knew exactly how to captivate and win over an audience with his spellbinding mastery of his vocal instrument! I also love watching the sheer delight from Dionne and other audience members! What he did with iconic song standards like this one and The Carpenters' song 'Superstar' is truly amazing! There are also some pretty humorous stories going around about what a DIVA he was, too! For instance, when En Vogue went on tour as his opening act, Luther gave then gals a list of colors they absolutely could not wear...and nothing on their costumes were allowed to sparkle!🤣 So glad you enjoyed this performance!!!
This was a signature of his live performances. No one could sing like Luther! Usher who?? NeYo who??? Pick any current singers who??? This is a very famous song by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, originally made famous by Dionne Warwick but Luther made it his very own by the way he performed it live
Bruno Mars?
@@SSJ2Phenom Bruno Mars is phenomenal. He's in a different category.
@@lamusiclover2264 Bruno is one of the absolute best vocalists of all time and he's even better live
aww thank u girl - for playin the best music ever ! and how cute are u being in ur outside great patio - love ya
Your welcome 😍
I just love this song...
When it comes to Luther I don't even have the words😘🥲💝
How about 3 words: Never Too Much! 😂
Ol' Luther took possession of that song! Ms. Dionne was so elated! I was young but I do vaguely remember this on TV
thx miss empress- wow - our miss D and luther! i could listen to this all night long
They don't make em like Luther anymore chile
Sholl don’t chile
She said "And u know Dionne dont think nobody no Icon." Big facts!
i love your reactions
Thank u‼️Glad you're enjoying 🤩
i've loved Luther since the 80s and it's my first time to see this! Thanks for doing this! I love it!
🔥🔥I can't believe I never saw this reaction! Dis my joint. I liked Dionne Warwicks version but Luther's version has always been the one for me! That whooo-oo-oooo he does had all the ladies throwing their panties on stage! 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣💯
There's a live concert performance on RUclips you could watch. There's nothing like seeing him in person but he performed like this every single time, and it seems like nothing to him. He was amazing.
I love your energy/reaction! keep making content plz!!!
Always loved this performance mmits, amazing and it's just so loose and fluid.. a masterclass in showboating... The variations... O my days.
Dionne's own version is fantastic but this is in a league of its own. Luther is in a league of his own. R. I. P..
Simply the BEST😊😊
Witness the manly beauty of the original man's voice black woman.
The song was wrote by Burt Bacharah and Hal David or Dionne Warwik, Luther loveed Doinne Warwick an he song that song to her.
For another Burt Bacharach and Hal David song that Luther kills try his cover of "Anyone Who Had A Heart".
Tiana Taylor does look like a young Diane Warwick, I never even realized that.
Please react to more Luther? Also, go check out Lisa Fisher singing How Can I Ease The Pain Live in Japan. It is amazing like this and will blow you away
Thanks for the recommendation
Perfection!
at 7.24, well done sista Kanye used that song to sample for the Slow jam hit
Thanks
Burt Bacharach wrote the music and Hal David wrote the words. youve reacted to alot of singers who can sing but no one in that group can touch Luther and i mean no one. he was a vocal wizard with a golden tone casting a musical spell laced with a spellbinding virtuosity on the ones lucky enough to encounter him.
Wow
You get a sub for picking up on what Kanye sample
Never was a big fan but, he did have a beautiful voice. He def had the swag. I can see why a lot of women swooned over him.
Je influenced many singers even young Whitney
Women swooned over his technique for sure. His swag was an act and I think most people knew that on some level.
Did you know the ladies used to “swoon” over Liberace too? It’s true. 💯
@@tomrobinsondc lol. No I did not know that. He was handsome in his younger years.
@@terrystorey So I just had to Google it... because I now live by Madonna’s famous words “Look it up.” 😂😂😂
Sure enough from a newspaper column in the Herald Tribune, 1954: “The things women go nuts over resist rational interpretation and way up on the head of the list-strenuously resisting any form of explanation-is Liberace. Still, there’s no arguing that the dames go for this guy. His audience is two-thirds female. (I don’t know how the one-third males got in there. Dragged, I expect. You notice it took two gals to drag each man in.)” 🤪
@@tomrobinsondc 😂
For me, Luther’s voice is tied with Frank Sinatra’s as the best male voice of the past century. And both will still be listened to a hundred years from now.
Was Luther gay? Yes. Does it matter? Yes. Why? Because Luther kept himself in the closet for fear of losing fans. He thought women wouldn’t buy his music if they knew he was gay. But he didn’t understand. They knew. And it really didn’t matter... Because.The.Voice.
@@leodejongful Well that is certainly a worthy Top 5! Thinking Elvis probably deserves a spot in that group too.
Unfortunately, it did matter at that time. Women may have suspected, but if he'd actually came out it likely would've ruined his career. The same way that singer or choir director at church was suspected to maybe be gay, but things changed if they actually came out and were open about it. We're talking about back when male R&B artists sales would drop if they got married, better yet came out as gay. A lot of women liked to believe those guys were singing to them and actually being off the market ruined that fantasy. It's actually part of the reason why some male singers would always say they were single, even if they were with someone. The image was just as important as the talent.
Same reason Freddie Mercury hid his sexuality for so long. Best rock singer of all time was afraid the fans would desert him and his band.
When I see this clip of Luther I instantly think of Frank Sinatra. Now, technically, Sinatra was not as good of a singer as Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr. However, he knew how to craft a certain sound [as a non-musician]
Marvin Gaye and David Ruffin were greater
Don't forget Nat King Cole
I am sure luther hit the spot with some of them women if u know what I mean
Please tell me dem nails glow in the dark? Gurl I’m scarred a you 😂😂
Only man you had to make sure you wife didn't spend more than 5 minutes with if you wanted to still have a wife lol
U can't..can't not recognize Dionne Warwick!!!
I adore Luther, but to me this song is Dionne's
It's an amazing performance, no doubt, gotta say. I love how much you enjoyed it!
The only knock I got against Luther is some of his openings are way too long. He set U up for what's yet to come, but still won't let up off the gas!
Interesting ‼️
Empress, I love your reactions, but the backyard background is distracting, bizarre. Consider something studio, abstract, blank, etc. You, yourself, is enough.
I still prefer fat Luther.
😂dang
Kanye? A generation of samplers. Sit Down.
that's where i heard this!
