This was a tribute to Dionne Warwick; she originally sung this first over 2 decades prior to this performance.
I watched it live with my mom on TV. Man was a great talent. Truly GOAT.
I miss that man!!! What a voice. That's Dionne Warwick. She originally recorded "A House is Not a Home" and Luther covered it.
also this part of the show was a tribute to Dionne , that's why the camera constantly on her.
I couldn't agree more, what a man and what a voice! No one can even come close.
Burt Bacharach wrote this song so it makes sense Dionne covered it as she was his main muse. There is an even earlier live version with Burt (not known for his vocals) and Dusty Springfield if you care to give a listen.

@@barbaragreenblatt6470 Music by Burt Bacherach and lyrics by Hal David who usually wrote the lyrics.
Yes, Luther did love him some Dionne Warwick songs.
@@dustee Burt Bacharach* and Hal David were legends in songwriting.
Luther and Dionne were friends and immensely respected each other. They shared the stage on several occasions along with Whitney, Dionne’s cousin. They were all close
This is the best male vocal performance of all time. So smooth that you don't notice how technical it is.
@Joshua James Amen!!!
Luther Vandross is definitely one of the best, if not the best to ever do it. The control he has over his voice is amazing. The production of his songs and he always had the best background vocals. Was blessed to see him live back in the 90's. Best performance I have ever seen. Period.
Didn't Need Autotune, Flashy Lights, dancers twerking, or parading half naked on stage...Luther just brought his amazing voice, full of bravado. controlled perfect pitched smooth, silky voice and enunciation...YET still captivated & had the entire audience in the palm of his hands....the best male vocalist ever!
Oh and the woman Is Dionne Warwick (Whitney Houston's Aunt) who originally sang that song a decade
before his version.
Beyonce does which is why she's overrated
@@fucker661 Actually, she doesn’t need any of those things. Sexiness doesn’t negate talent. At this time, no one would have wanted to see Luther half naked. Be for real.
Nobody can sing like Luther!❤
NOBODY...and I'm so sad he isn't here anymore.
I can until you wake me up!
This is Dionne’s song that Luther remade. Dionne was also one of Luther’s favorite singers. That is why he is singing to her
Dionne Warwick also sponsored Luther's solo career; he was one of her back-up singers. She brought him to the right people. Dionne was also the one who first called him "THE VOICE."
So did David Bowie.
@@FHIPrincePeter Exactly. Moreso David Bowie and Roberta Flack (who was actually the one to hook him up with connections for his solo career. They were both on a talk show in the 80's and he talked about how she "fired" him. She really told him that he was too good to be a background singer and after that tour he needed to pursue a solo career.)
Actually it was Patti LaBelle who he Sung back up for and she fired him to make him go solo.
@@KILLJOY375 “Yet, even with his success with Change, Luther couldn’t get a record deal. Instead, he went back on the road with Roberta Flack. Flack was one of Luther’s biggest fans, and encouraged him to try for a solo career. Luther would say that she “lovingly fired” him from her tour. His confidence increased, and he would use money from his day job singing jingles to create his own record, and shop it around the various record labels. Finally, Epic Records signed Luther up and in 1981 the label released Never Too Much.”
He was actually singing back up for Roberta Flack. She heard him singing her song at sound check and told him he did not need to be singing backup of anybody. She basically fired him so he would start his solo career.
He actually dedicated that performance to Dionne. It was very personal.
My friend worked for his manager. I was able to see and meet Luther many times. Incredibly sweet man and one of the greatest and underrated singers ever. Lots of babies because of Luther!!! Lol
He was hardly underrated!
@@shells500tutubo When he was alive he was extremely popular but has been lost to the next generation(s). He did not have the catalogue nor the publicity machine of his peers.
@@jasonbroad5478 that’s not true at all.
Luther is legendary. Hardly underrated but I think i get where you're coming from.
@@legendaryone696 Just saying that if you ask someone under 40 about great singers they might remember Lionel Ritchie...but probably not Luther. Luther was a better singer. One of the best ALL time.
We're so lucky to have this performance on film. Luther was so amazing!! I was privileged to see him in concert several times. I'll cherish those memories always
I want everybody to think about what’s going on in this video right now, some of the best singers in that generation is in an audience, and he’s bringing them to tears.
NAACP Awards audience was full of amazing singers, Dionne was being celebrated It was just incredible
You mean you don't know the living legend Dionne Warwick? Luther loved Dionne Warwick -- not romantically but professionally. He favored the female singing voice and Dionne Warwick was his all-time favorite -- the GOAT in his eyes.
Right! You’re a singer/songwriter and don’t know one of the OG’s who paved the way? And never mind she’s Whitney Houston’s Aunt, who influenced her career as well?
@@colettewalker381 Whitney Houston's cousin. Whitney's mother, Cissy Houston, Is Dionne's aunt.
@@shells500tutubo thanks for the correction!
My favourite female singer ever. Her voice her tone to me is just exquisite... 🎉❤
This was Dionne Warwick’s song that was written and composed by Burt Bacharach….they definitely were one of the greatest singer/songwriter combos of all time.
you are so right. he stood alone with no glitz just talent
What a loss to the world when he passed away.🥀
Luther was the best, with actual, amazing talent ❤️
@Brad Steele. I don't know if you'll see this comment, but I want to thank you for presenting the very special Luther Vandross. Thank you for appreciating the pure unalderated pinnacle of talent that he was.❤️🙏. May he Rest in Peace. Amen.
One of my favourite songs by Luther Vandross is Dance With My Father. I cried when I first heard that song 😢
I miss him. 😢 such a tremendous talent.
To answer your question,no one has a crowd that captivated during a performance to the point where people are cheering DURING the performance for the voice. Not the lights,the dancers,the production. Just him and the mic.
The best singer EVER!!
Defitely a case to be made
Dionne Warwick was the original singer of A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME. Vandross idolized Warwick.
Brad like you I feel that his mastery of his voice is a true gift from God. I feel that he was one of the greatest singers of all time. What power and control... RIP Luther
It does not get better than this. Period.
She discovered him, too!!! Check out her version, he admired Dionne Warwick!! She was his biggest supporter!!!!!
She didn't discover him. As a teen he sung on (I believe it was) Electric Company. He later moved on to sing for David Bowie (wrote Young Americans and sang on Fame). He has a bunch of guest singer credits before working with Dionne.
These sort of performances are just rare nowadays and it takes a special vocalist with the talents to compel a whole audience to react the way they did. Seriously, what a silky smooth and memorable performance. Just like Whitney they both just commanded the stage with presence. Good on Luther to commemorate Dione Warwick with this classic cover that was a hit for both of them. The fact she was moved to tears in the end shows the tribute to her on this award show was something special.
That's Dionne Warwick. She loved him so much. She's Whitney Houston's cousin or Aunt.
Cousin
The quintessential 90's soul trio imo-
Luther Vandros
Aaron Neville
Peabo Bryson
bless you for your reaction i needed the blast of happiness that you provided thank you.
I love watching ppl reactions videos of Luther Vandross. I tear up each time. Love and miss him. No one can touch him.
Dionne loved Luther voice!
I met Luther in the late 80's when he was at the Zanzibar in Newark, NJ singing with the group called "Change" singing their hit called Searching!
This was a tribute to dion Warwick. They were good friends but weren’t on good terms when this happened. This got their friendship back on track
Luther remade a few of Dionne Warrick's songs .... he did them so well people forget or didnt know it was a remake......
"A House Is Not a Home" was written by (of course) Burt Bacharach & Hal David for the 1964 movie of the same name. Brook Benton's version of the track was used in the movie and released two weeks before Dionne Warwick's version was. Luther's version was released 1981, from his debut album _Never Too Much._ The problem is that when Luther does a cover, he so makes it his own that everyone forgets the original version! 😂
6:03 In this rendition, the woman in the audience *is* Dionne Warwick, Luther's friend, musical inspiration, and great supporter of his career. He was a hugely in-demand background vocalist for many years, singing backup for her and for dozens of other artists, like David Bowie _(Young Americans,)_ Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Ringo Starr, Todd Rundgren, Donna Summer, Chaka Khan, and Bette Midler.
Vandross produced, wrote songs for, and sung in a duet with Warwick on the title track of her 1983 album, _How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye_
That women that they are showing is Dionne Warrick, Whitney Houston's cousin and singer of this song originally in the 60's. She also recorded "Walk on by" and "Do you know the way to San Jose" and this song "A house is not a home" She's just marveling at Luther's rendition of the song that was originally recorded by her and written by Burt Bacharach! I'm surprised at you being a song writer and not knowing the work of one of the greatest song writers of all time Burt Bacharach. Whoops I see in the comments people have already told you about Dionne and Burt, but you should have known Burt songs if you are a song writer, his work is legendary!
That was the era of real love songs! Made relationships much better when this kind of music was put out. It'll be 1000 years b4 a voice Iike his comes around again.
The way Italians revere Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett...that's the way Black people revere Luther. He is OUR Frank Sinatra for sure.
The lady they keep showing is Dionne Warwick, who's one of the greatest singers ever and she was Whitney Houston's aunt. They were doing a tribute and honoring her, so Luther was serenading her.
Luther sang background for Dionne Warwick.
No band to cue. The music was the instrumental studio track & Luther navigated those breaks with no problem. Singing to his 1st music idol, Ms Warwick.
Dionne Warwick and Luther were great friends!
The award shows were better back in those days with true artists singing. I grew up in the 80’s and miss it so much because of the music
That is correct. Luther just took it there...live!
When you see the camera keep panning out to Dionne Warwick, not only was Dionne good friends with her, but she was the first person that did this song who songwriter and friend, Burt Bacharach and co-writer had originally wrote for her Because of Bert Bacharach first writing a number of songs purposely for Dionne, did she become well known making her
a singing sensation. Burt Bacharach, even though he has received aclaims for his writing amazing love ballots; I truly believe that unless the singers could sing his songs that they stood a strong possibility that the singers wouldn't have risen to the status that they became. And alot of them knew it and were greatful for Burt and his songwriting imaginations and his abilities. Burt also, was a special talent which the likes we'll never see again. RIP Burt Bacharach!
Let’s not forget a young Janet Jackson also enjoying his amazing vocals
Just truly amazing 🎉
I remember being 12 and crying when he died because he was my mom's favorite 💕
Magnífico, me hipnotizó!
Heavenly choir Luther Vandross, James Ingram, Michael Jackson, Issac Hayes, Barry White,Prince, Whitney Houston,Donna Summer, Aretha Franklin James Brown Ray Charles,Phyllis Hymen All the original Temptations including Dennis Edwards the Four Tops and June Pointer from the Pointer sisters. Gone too soon but were appreciated
Many of my favorites in your list. I understand,the greats gone too soon are so many it’s pardonable to forget some of them(Teddy Pendergrass,Maurice White and some E W F members,and so many more)
@@kevinodonkor4123 All great singers are welcome to the heavenly choir who are gone but they left behind the talent
RIP Luther Vandross.
@@JamilaGomez82 crap my bad, for some reason I got confused. Thank you for the correction.
No, they were not a couple, Luther use to sing backup for Dionne, and she basically discovered him. They became great friends and had some type of fallout and did not speak for some time. That is what he is referring to when he apologizes during the song. This is Dionne’s song that Luther remade and he is singing it during a tribute in the show for her.
you're too young to know the history here but the reason Dionne Warwick is reacting so strongly to this performance is because she first recorded this song and is moved to tears by his version of it. And she and Vandross did an album together called "How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye"
The women the camera kept going to is the original singer of that song Dionne Warwick which was written by Burt Bachrach. Its her song. Luther is doing his exceptional version of it. .
Never be another Whitney or Luther in our lifetime or ever.
Dionne Warwick was receiving a reward that night... She recorded this song first and later he covered it... so he was chosen to participate in the tribute to her...
I loved your reaction to this song and your analysis. It is spot on. Most of the time when I hear a great song I wanna go back and hear the original artist or people that did it previously. Usually it sounds good coming from several different people. However, in this case, when I hear other people do it including the original artist, it sounds like garbage. This guy simply owned this song and nobody else can do it.
That's Dionne Warwick she did the song first in the mid-60s she made in a hit
Betty Wright-No Pain, No Gain live in concert all black with the black hat😉
Neat to watch the old days
Luther did this better than the original
No, he loves Dionne but they had a falling out. This was his apology. ❤love
One of the best Kanye Samples ever
I remember watching this program live. Awesome talent. I miss him so much. That's Dionne Warwick. She is Whitney Houston's aunt.... incredible voice. Check out some of her performances.
They were giving Dionne Warwick the woman who sung it originally an career achievement award that night !!!
His best performance ever!!
The woman is legendary singer Dianne Warwick. Whitney Houston's aunt. Luther was gay. Wasn't shared publicly until after his passing. Phenomenal singer, my absolute favorite entertainer of all time.
LUTHER THE MASTER
Thats Dionne Warrick and she sang that song first back in the 60's a differt version
Please please tell me you know that is Dionne Warwick. Love reviews of older music!
You know that song was first recorded by Dionne Warwick, and she was a very good friend of Luther, they was not dating
No silly, it was her song he did, you are not the only thinking this!
Your song is good bro. Well crafted.
This was Dionne's song that he did a cover of... so they wanted him to tribute her...
backstory: Luther and Dionne Warwick were best friends and they'd had a falling out. That's why he'd chosen this song. He was actually apologizing to her in real-time. If you watch the video again, you'll notice that he looks directly in her eyes when he sings "I was wrong, and I know it. Forgive me." That's why Dionne dropped a tear at the end.
It was her song that he coverd
Dionne Warwick was the honoree. That's why she was seated alone
WE SAW THE TEARS IN YOUR EYES TOO
After this performance the original singer (I vaguely remember it from the mid 1960's, it was not a major hit for her) said she would not ever sing it again. Dionne didn't.
Whats the song you were singing at the beginning? Sounds good
That;sDio nne Warwick and they were very good friends. Plus D covered this song some years ago.
Yes and no. Dionne didn't "cover" this song. She originated it.
You see this excitement when you're dealing with a black audience who overstands what is happening. This is our culture. It was a tribute to Dionne Warwick.
@Shaun Sanders. It was fabulous, no matter what crowd it was!! This gentleman RUclips podcaster knew he was listening to the pinnacle of talent. RIP dear Luther, May Jesus keep you kind Sir.❤️🙏 P.S. They pure joy and exuberance was palpable in that crowd!!!
Bro you can sing
It is said that half the women in the audience became pregnant after that performance... lol.
The lady you thought was his lady friend is Whitney Houstons Aunt
Yeah Dionne Warwick this is her song but Luther does it so good that Mrs. Warwick gave ownership of this song to Luther
Cannot believe u don't know Dionne @brad. See, we just went over this season one top 5 night. That's why you shouldn't fast forward everything. There is a lot of education in between all that corniness.
Surprised Brad didn't recognize the original singer of the song, Dionne Warwick. Not only were they never a couple but it's well-known that Luther was gay. Great reaction though! 👍
Luther could sing the phone book and it would still go double platinum. He was a treasure.
LOL,..NO they were NOT a couple,..(Luther was Gay) BUT he had LOTS of respect for the Divas of music and he and Dionne had a falling out (she. was one of his mentors) . I LOVE Luther, saw him 3 times in concert and was devastated when he passed
✨💖✨💖✨💖✨ how can u request a reaction? Someone help 😩😅
Hey man, could you please make a video reacting to Chuck Berry? He invented Rock n' Roll and it'd be cool if you could make a video on it.
Well little Richard / Ike Turner invented rock n roll ....but chuck berry is another forgotten name as well
@@tamyragraypromotions1678 Yes, I partially agree.
That’s Dionne Warwick and that’s her song he’s singing lol
DIONNE , WHITNEY, LUTHER the best of the best who agree 👍
Bruh,, you didn't see Penny?
Once again Brad…… Glee! Chris Colfer’s rendition is pretty amazing 🤩
Being a die hard Luther (and Tamyra fan) I hated and I mean beyond hated the glee version. Borderline found it insulting. Not that it's terrible or that it's not great in it's own right, but once you've heard the other two, it's like kid bops trying to do a Patti LaBelle belt or something.
“We’re they a couple that broke up”?
“He’s trying to win her over”
Bro, Um, no. Luther Vandross was gay.
He wasn’t with deon 😂😂😂 he liked men ….but he is a GOAT
