After listening to this for the 50th time I feel like we didn't even get to see the best of him vocally on his albums.
I heard him sing raw and uncut 1971 ! He would sing in the showers after football practice . He played linebacker at ALCORN STATE. The upperclassmen didn’t mess with him because he could sing and was a good linebacker.... he made the right choice by quitting!
Hi Mike. Welcome to my channel.. Steve Watson from the Alexander O'Neal Appreciation Society
Alex played football before, he was quite big for his age. I love his voice so much. I idolize him and I want to be just like him.
Noone could sing it like Luther but Alexander O'Neal did the damn thing on this one he killed it
I knew Alexander could sing but this song really showcased his true voice.
Alex and Luther’s voices are among the finest to ever exist! And I’m glad the UK gave Alex the recognition he deserved.
💯
Yes, and isn’t that why he moved there?
If he didn't go to the UK, he would have been thrown under the bus literally...wait: American culture did that anyway.
GOLDEN MUSIC HARMONY LUTHER AND ALEX YES YES IS A DREAM
Yessirrrrrr Alex and Luther are the goats 🐐🐐 but Alex will always be the best! 😁
Damn, he did a hell of a job covering this!!!! There is no denying Alex's vocal skills.
Take a bow Sir. You DID That. I get nervous when Anyone attempts Luther. And you gave us Alex. You're a Real one.
I have never, ever heard Alexander O'Neal do a remake. It seems strange. He sounds great, but it also makes me glad that he linked up with Jimmy and Terry. They gave him an opportunity to showcase his range. His catalog of songs are funky, flirty, sophisticated and soulful. Thank GOD there's only one Alexander O'Neal.
He has done other great cover versions of songs. Unfortunately , you have to search hard to find them. Great if his unknown songs were put out there for the world to enjoy.
I fucking love Alexander O'Neal! His voice and technique's just flawless. I would love to master his style, I just can't do the growls that he does, I'll get there someday.
It brings me so much joy and happiness to realize I'm not the only one that knew this brother was and is the best vocalist in our time. Thank you Mr. O'Neal 🤗
You tube provides these incredible surprises that we ALL should appreciate. this is GREAT to witness! Beautiful job Mr. O'neal and the band.
And there you have it. "A House Is Not A Home:" officially ALEXANDERIZED. 😍
Truly one of the greatest singers of our time...
He has the passion and deep soul Of Otis Redding , The warm feeling of Donny Hathaway and All the genuineness of the Alexander O'neal to breakout !!!
Perfect description! I always add the old school romantic essence of Nat King Cole. Mr. O'Neal is one of the truly UNSUNG❤️❤️❤️
The most underrated vocalist ever. I would argue the best vocalist in that last 40 years. I stumbled across AO music that I haven't heard in years, and was telling a friend how great his music was back in the day with all those hits.
Great vocalist, but not the best in the last 40 years...IJS
@@deekaymusiclover2481 You just saying in your opinion, but yes you can make the argument that he is was. Reading comprehension.
Yes indeed 😊❤️
Yes a real underrated singer,him and Eddie levert my favs!,,,
You are spot on. His first and second albums are ridiculously good. You can press play and walk away. Alexander O'Neal is definitely in my top 10 of male vocalists. Very original voice.
Holy Cow!!! I never saw this all these years!!! It’s amazing
I'm young ever since I've heard his track "if you were here tonight" I've search for more of your songs. Sentimental, hearsay, and sunshine. I'm your young fan Mr O'Neil love you so much.
Me too! Huge fan from the 80s and 90s. Hands down, simply the best!
Big AO fan!!!! Never heard this before!!! Luther has legit competition on whose song it is! Al Killed that joint!!!!! A mans man singer!
Like Aretha took Respect from Otis Redding, Alex took House from Luther and made it his own!
An absolute class act personified; was able to dislodge the orange one & corona from my psychic and unlax for a few hrs. Thank you Alex O'Neal.
This is a phenomenal rendition!
Alexander O’Neal is so underrated.
Omg, this is absolutely amazing, I had no idea Mr Alexander O’Neal is so talented. This is not an easy song to sing. I wish I would have found this 40 years ago. He was young here.
Alex, you could sing ring around the roses and it sounds like a Grammy winner. Much love to you.❤️
Yes indeed!
Wow! Looking Smooth and sounding like a million bucks! This is a dulk 2 years before he came out with his debut album and the song 'Innocent'. He did a fantastic rendition here. Long live Alex. R.I.P. Luther.
He was one of the few in his time period that was smooth and sultry, but at the flick of a switch, had massive volume and presence behind the voice. Still one of the best voices out there and performance presentations!
I grow up on him and his greatest hits innocent Saturday love with cherrell never love like this fake my gift to you i missed everything at home and all true man he's a legend and a great singer bless his ❤️ heart.
This is one of the greatest soul singing performances I have ever seen. As objective as I can be (he's my favorite soul singer), this early performance 🎭 from Alexander O'Neal shows the global level prospects of his vocals. Imagine if he audtioned for Britans Got Talent with this rendition? Simply historic moment in music history, thank you for sharing!
Please clean-up, Alex and put RnB back on the map. Don't retire. RnB needs you. You are still young and have an excellent, very unique voice. We love you, Alex!!!
Yes Lord, he's the man. I loved seeing him and Cherrelle sing Saturday love last year on some awards show.
He will never sound like he once did.....
Yes he’s still really young he needs too come back
@@divineoracle7459 you underestimate the gifts only God can bestow. I lost my voice for 7yrs. It returned better than ever. 7yrs!
The drugs ruined Alex’s voice if he were to sing now they would have to shut his mic off and play the original recording
I'm glad I stumbled upon this. Just shows how good of a vocalists Alex is.
He killed this unexpected! One if my favorite singers dldnt see this coming. Luther dominated mostly 80-88 And Alex came in and got himself a place 85-93 there music is timeless.
Once again Alex did his thing with this Luther song....great video!👍🏾
Actually it's a Dionne Warwick song
ronmex Well, thank u for that but I’m giving props to Luther for the way he sang it... haven’t heard Dionne’s version sure it’s good as she has a wonderful singing voice but it blew up when Luther sang it... that’s my point. Alex did a soulful version n his own Alexander O’Neal kinda way. A fan of AO since the 80’s.😁✌🏿
@@resol1992 Actually it's a Burt Bacharach and Hal David song. They are the ones that wrote it.
He put his flavor on this favorite,loved Luther song. I ain't mad🥰
@@justincase4792 LOL
Great rendition by Alex, been a fan since 1985. As the saying goes, they don’t make vocalists/singers like Mr O’Neal anymore! 👍🎶
8 minutes well spent watching and listening to a great vocalist
Simply beautiful, made me cry. Love you Alex xx
Alexander O Neal post bought me here. Awesome awesome 🔥🔥
- Flawless Performance !!!
Man... Alexander was the man! I wish he could still sing like this.
Thr great one's make it their own, and Alex did that!
It was his first. Mr. O'Neal and Ms. Cherrall wrote a lot of those R&B hits 80s 90s and maybe the late 70s too, I don't fully remember. Check them out. I know you're not in the know woke stage of life if you don't know them.
Alexander O'Neal did that! Nice rendition!❤
Im a big fan & never heard thus before...i love you Alex...always
Always loved Alexander O'Neal. One of my favorite singers! Such a beautiful voice!
Absolutely still in love!!!♥️
I ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOOOOVE ALEXANDER!!! He is up there with the greatest singers. His voice is velvety smooth🥰🥰🥰
outstanding....
Willie Hutch, and Alexander O’Neal are my favorite singers
He jus took this song as his own sorry Luther but he definitely saaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnggggg the hell out of this song❤❤❤
Best Voice,Alex ❤️
Cant NOBODY do it like Luther BUT ALEX aint bad at all! I LOVE him and he's so underrated. Alex is a living LEGEND and we better put some RESPECT on his name!
OMG that was a magnificent performance that I missed at the time, and one that I'm sure Luther would have loved too. Alexander has a tone that is unmistakeable and his power incredible.
Absolutely beautiful Alex
This was a masterful performance. Sensationally Incredible Voice!
Dang, Alexander did his thing. Wow!
Love it Alexander O'neal.. 👏👏👏
I love the music. To those who never done drugs or suffer from any problem that can relate. You don't know what the hell you talking about. Man stay with God. To everybody all over thee World. God love you and I love and there's nothing you can do about it. Get mad but I Love YOU. Peace and Blessing. That Part Aman
Focus on the performance. That's what we came here for!!
Mario Brinson real shit bruh... people constantly judge and speak on things they don't know shit about. You don't be knowin what the fuck people be goin through or have went through, what type of demons they fightin. And you don't know how the fuck you'll overcome some tragic shit when it happens to you, what type of coping mechanisms you'll resort too. Life is a BITCH, just pray that it gets better for us all.
Be blessed bro
🥰 this was really nice to watch and listen to. Not too many people can cover Luther. Alexander O’Neal is so underrated. I love this rendition.

Followed mr O'Neil his whole career really miss his smooth true r&b vocals, never have i seen this. Though his range has diminished his vocals from last i heard were spot on and his songs are timeless and touch the soul. He is a "All true man" thanks Alex for your contributions to true soul music
