    I used to be a secret Luther fan. Back in the 80's I was into hair metal, as were most of my friends. But once I ordered a Luther CD thru one of the mail order CD companies (I think it was BMG), I was hooked. His voice is amazing! And the delivery during this song is awe inspiring. He looks like he is having so much fun "showing off" his voice during this performance. Thank you for this review of a unique talent.

    My dear friend ran Luther's managers NY office during the day so I was fortunate to see Luther many times. Backstage he was sweet, charming and chill...onstage he was a vocal machine and the women lost their minds....some of the men as well. His band was phenomenal and his backup singers (Lisa Fischer) were sublime. The shame is that there is a whole generation of people who have NO idea who Luther is or was.....only the greatest voice of his generation and probably any generation. I hope he and Teddy (Pendergrass) are singing their asses off in heaven!

I agree he has a silky smooth way of delivering the notes, emotions, & dynamics of his voice. I’ve been following The Master as far back as I can remember (the 70s 😊) & he is the greatest male singer I have ever heard. I put him on par with Whitney & Reba as the best at their singing crafts. Thank you for this. You have become my fav at breaking singers. R. I. P. Luther. You are missed.

    "He's playing more with everything else except the melody, except the notes." Yes, this was something I noticed, as well, but could never put into words. Sadly, there's just no one like him these days; no one sings like that anymore. This entire concert is incredible. An immaculate production. Not sure who the md was, but he or she didn't get paid enough! I believe the great Marcus Miller was involved, but I don't know to what extent. Thanks again for this one!

    • @lydmarl.475

      Yes Marcus was very much involved and there was another person, cannot recall his name at the moment.
      Years when Luther appeared on The Oprah show, he would always praise Marcus Miller and this name always stayed with me. Way years later the name came up in a line up of getting ready to go on one of my Jazz cruises, Luther had already passed. Got to meet Marcus on the cruise, he was awarded and I told him after the how Luther always praised him on The Oprah W., and he was so very humbled, he did not realize!!

    Here is a little back story about the song and about LV.
    Luther was a background singer for Patti LaBelle. While in rhe road with Patti he was doing a sound check with rhe sound engineer. As such they were playing with the arrangements for the up and coming performance. It was not supposed to be rhat many peope in the auditorium during the sound check so the lights were turned down.
    Unbeknownth to Luther Patti LaBelle was sitting in the audience and was listening to him sing. Upon his completion she made herself known. It was in that moment Luther found himself unemployed because Patti LaBelle fired him on the spot. Her reasoning behind this move was that she felt that Luther should never sing backup to anyone and that was her way of making sure he knew that and to pursue his solo career.
    The song House is not a home was first sung during an award ceremony where Dionne Warwick who originally sung the song was present and he sang it to her.
