I understand why people were upset with Patti but WE ALREADY KNEW!!! I literally bought every Luther album when I was a teen and young adult because I LUV’d me sum Luther and his sex life didn’t matter. Patti said out loud what we already knew in our hearts. I don’t know and never heard anything about Clive and Luther but what I do know is some of the lyrics in several of Luther’s songs are heartbreaking so if they did have a relationship, I hope Luther felt true and genuine love from Clive and was able to give the same. RIP Luther - we’ll NEVER stop 😢missing and 🧡appreciating you!!!
Many people have themselves in a prison trying to hide parts of themselves that the world already “knows” is real. Miss Patti, in my opinion, was wrong for speaking on it. Secrets between besties should stay secrets…It wasn’t her choice to make. As a fan, I’m all about his work! Luther has an INCREDIBLE collection of timeless tunes that I enjoy listening to. That’s truly all that matters.
Patti could've declined answering any media commentary about Luther's identity. She's been very open down thru the years and possibly felt it would do no harm. However, she should've kept it cute and not identified Luther. Nevertheless, his music lives on and his true fans will remain loyal. ✌😌
Not my monkey NOT my circus! If anything Patty should be talking about is how she started messing with that little young guy that broke up her marriage yes she's a cheater.😮...now keep that on the hush.... Clean up your own backyard before you go in somebody else's backyard.... How about that Ms Patti LaBelle! Luther Vandross legendary❤🫶🏾 May he be resting in peace
@@draebass7074Patti has no room nor right to have put Luther’s business out there when her own toilet is clogged - not her place nor anyone else’s point blank!
When a best friend tells you something in confidence you are supposed to be that best friend and take what you are told to your grave. The person told you whatever because they respect you and trust that you will respect them enough to not broadcast their secrets…
I was a kid when all those rumors were going on and I heard something about Freddie Jackson and him. Did anyone else hear that? I imagine Freddie would get going through the same thing.
Patti was dead wrong but I'm not even mad at her because I feel like if anyone would know Luther's tea it would be someone like Patti who was close to him & his bestie. I also don't think she was being malicious. I've come to understand that the older folk get, the less filtered they tend to be ijs
I wish Luther would have come out because he would have been so much happier. Luther we would have loved you regardless. Instead you chose to hide it from your fans and be miserable and loveless just to please us. What a terrible thing to do to your self. Luther we love you we miss you. I am so sorry you could not live your truth.
I admired Patti and Luther friendship, however Patti should have kept that secret, unless she got permission from him personally to tell the truth after he had departed this earthly life😔❤️
She ain't put out that Wal-Mart was baking them Patti Pies and it's not and her recipe. That's not honest, but she want to be honest about Unk business. 🙄🙄🙄
I have lost respect for so many celebrities of my youth and Patti is one of them. Many people condone and did not care about Luther sexuality but loved him for his musical genius. Besides, what people do behind closed doors is none of our business unless criminality is involved.

The person who created this video is MESSY!! Were we shown the entire video of what was asked of Patti LaBelle and what was fully said??? Did she say verbatim, YES Luther Vandross was gay???
@@draebass7074 Plain and simple......Patti is messy. She talks too much about other people's business. All she had to do was respectfully decline to get into that conversation about Luther the moment the interviewer opened that door.
When it makes the FIRST BIT of difference in his ability to SING HIS BUTT OFF, that's when I'll allow it to affect my UTTER ADORATION of his wonderful TALENT!! This man was and still is one of the best singers of all time--not among Black singers, not among gay singers, not among tall or short or fat or skinny singers--AMONG THE BEST OF ALL TIME!! Who cares how he got his jollies? Just wish he could know how much we still love him and ALWAYS WILL!!
Everybody in this world have skeletons in their closets or secrets or just things they don't want no one else to know because they just can't trust nobody and they know that people are so judgmental either way it goes people need to learn how to stay in a lane without other people passing judgment before they even get to know someone really that's the problem and it's always been a problem a huge problem all you got to do is mind your own business
Welp... he gone now.. his music is still timeless and I'M STILL LISTENING RIGHT NOW❤❤❤❤

That was none of her business to speak on. That was disrespectful. Even if he was gay so what? His music is more important than his sexuality.
not a true friend behavior

Who cares if The man was Gay, so. The music is still legendary
Singers who have not found love can sing it so soulfully because they want it
One of my favorite singers since I was little his voice was anointed
Errybody knew Luther was gay. Known but not said🤷🏾
None of your business.
With friends like Patti...
RIP Luther. You'll always be one of the greatest singers to ever hold a mic. 🌹

My foster mother was one of his back up singers. She stated something similar about luther.
What did jaguar say about Patti husband was gay & how what the Temptations did to her to become popular?

And you should sweep around your own front door before you try to sweep around someone else's.

@@juicyfruit4378 Thank you for living your life perfectly 👌🏾 👍🏾 He who is without sin shall cast the first stone!
@@juicyfruit4378what are ya so offended for? He’s clearly gay you can see it all his mannerisms plus he’s dead

Patti is messy
Yes she is
Absolutely correct!!
Everyone being pushed to identify themselves just gives me the creeps. Also makes it easy for advertisers to market to us endlessly. A...nnoying.
I 💬 think everyone should just mind their own business 😅

Didn't know it was a secret.....He still my guy....💕
Are. We still talking about whether someone is gay or not? Really? I feel like it’s 1980 watching this. RIP Luther❤️
She ain't put out that Wal-Mart was baking them Patti Pies and it's not and her recipe. That's not honest, but she want to be honest about Unk business. 🙄🙄🙄
She was dead wrong
I believe if he was still alive ppl would not care his music 🎶 was making males and females fall
in ❤ with him.
If feel it wasn't Patties story to tell. REST IN POWER LUTHER VANDROSS
Amen to the comments.
She's MESSY AND WRONG
who didn't know luther was gay before patti mentioned it?!?! lol! he's still a musical legend.

She’s wrong period ! It’s not her place !!
Masculinity is not toxic
She didn’t say anything that wasn’t blatantly obvious. There’s no fault there. There’s no shame in being gay so where is the fault?
She needs, to STOP TALKING. So much.
That just shows how prejudice the black community can be towards black gay men. Especially back in his day.
Love me some Luther. Don't care if he was gay, may, day, or shay.
PATTI should have not revealed any of his personal business 😢
Clive is evil.
Mind you business Patty 😮
2:16 who are: second row blond lady with written Bad shirt on. The black and white blond lady at the bottom and the red hair lady with the pink dress ??
Luther was not closeted. He came out in one of his songs
Patti LaBelle has a big mouth and she's messy in other people's business. She's not a good friend to anyone. Some things you need to keep private.

@uriyahbonafide4194 I guess that's no different than speaking on matters that you don't have the facts on while scandalizing someone's name....
@@draebass7074 I saw the entire interview, so what are you talking about? Just close your mouth.

It doesn't matter anymore does it! The Man's dead.
Let the man rest what do you want some attention the man was a beautiful singer that's it glad you're not a friend of mine Lee Luther rest
Patti the us of you and Keith Sweat
Its amazing how u people support wrong
The blind could tell that Luther was gay.
They Need To Know The Truth
They who?
I think his fans have a right to know the truth. Thank you Ms Patty.

Please I when I was 8 I knew he was gay.
