Luther was a breath of fresh air. When I see him being interviewed I smile all the time with such joy, why? Because he seemed like such a pure genuine soul and so full of life. He loved his mother and was so close to her, He was definitely a momma's boy but in a great way. I bought my first Luther Vandoss CD in 2005 when I was 17.

My all time favourite i was playing his greatest hits yesterday, i love and miss him so much but thankful I got to see him life twice her in the UK and thankful he left us with his beautiful voice and music 💗
When I got married we walked in to Power of Love. N when the service was over we walked out to So Amazing... Luther’s music lived on a lot longer than my marriage lol! Rest In Peace My Dearest Luther...you were taken much much too soon ❤️🙏🤟🕊😢
If only this beautiful soul, Luther Vandross knew how amazing he was and so absolutely beautiful no matter what he was just stunning even without words some soul's just shine no matter what and he still does.❤🇮🇪
We love you Luther! You're always here with us. You still sing for God and give glory to God. Our hearts beat with you and we feel your voice and soul ever single day. You are always here here with us brother. Always! ❤️
@Jason He was. The reason he didn't speak on it, according to Patti La Belle, is because of his mother. He also figured it would have been detrimental to his career.
@jasondawson92 he was gay. Patti Labelle and his manager both confirmed it. He remained closeted 1)Because of his mom and 2)It almost certainly would’ve been detrimental for his career. Luther’s prime was in the 80s. Coming out then was career suicide
I only found out he was gay recently. So sad he felt he had to hide it for all his life and so devastating he left us so early. He doesn't stop me being a little bit in love with the guy. Ok, more than just abit :)
So true, gone way to soon, but people didn't know is that when Luther died he was his mother's last living child, Luther had 3 other siblings that died from diabetes and strokes, sadly Luther's mother out lived all of her children and for a mother to bury all her kids, wow! Can't imagine that kind of pain, Luther died in 2005 his mother died in 2008.
DEAR ROSIE CAN YOU PLEASE POST THE VIDEO OF ROBERTA FLACK & LUTHER SINGING "KILLING ME SOFTLY" THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER EPISODE WHERE SHE SING'S "FEELS LIKE MAKING LOVE" PLEASE POST IT FOR THE FANS
WHY CAN'T PEOPLE BE NICE ? I SAW HIM AT WESTBURY FAIR LONG ISLAND NEW YOUR . LUTHER WAS IS THE GREATEST SINGER. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER. WHO CARES IF HE WAS GAY OR NOT . HE COULD BLOW REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE SIR .
Luther Vandross was more of a man than most straight men. Why? Luther in his own words "didn't want to disappoint his female fansbase by coming out" That's what a real man does sacrifice his happiness for his loved ones 🙏
Don't get me wrong because I loved me some Luther, but talk about "Sugar and Spice." 🤔 Because I noticed there was more 'sugar' in Luther's personality in this interview. But I guess he was able to feel more like his authentic self around Rosie.
Folks all up here talking about blah blah blah he was gay, this that and the third. Well I mean, even if he was that was his prerogative, his business. The man was a talent and that's all that matters ❤ ❤

Luther is so down to earth ....his beautiful soulful voice is like no other !!
who gives af if hes gay Luther still had a magical voice ...
All the people I know that grew up with Luther could care less. To many memories attached to the music to be worried about his bedroom activities.
The fact that you are raising this...

How could anyone in that time not know he was gay within the first 20seconds of this interview. This is a clark kent/superman scenario right here.
Exactly. He was as gay as all outdoors
Bc back then ppl wasn’t spending 24/7 365 worrying about what others have going on in their lives..
Ppl loved artist for music and music only..
I never noticed how feminine he was when I was a child. Love Luther R.I.P
Happy Heavenly birthday, Luther Vandross!
Miss him so much! Saw him in soooo many concerts! One of my favorites!
Lord these shows take me back to my childhood...I’ve always loved Rosie!! She’s so outspoken with no apologies ☺️
His voice was absolutely beautiful. One of my favorite singers.
I sang so amazing to my wife on our wedding day 23 years ago
Thank you for the music Luther vandross
Aside from his amazing talent, it seems like he'd be a great friend and a lot of fun to be around.
I still miss him .He was a great singer 🥰🥰🎶🎶🙏

Lovely Guy .so sweet and what a voice,so sad the way he ended his days. Rosie you've had some knockout talent on your show over the years.
If he could openly be who he was, he would be still alive… I will always miss him❤😢
I don’t believe he’s gay because he didn’t speak on that
@Jason He was. The reason he didn't speak on it, according to Patti La Belle, is because of his mother. He also figured it would have been detrimental to his career.
How do you know that?
multipe friends confirmed and he also owned david hockney paintings in his house @@dhowa862

Please POST ALL ROBERTA FLACK’S APPEARANCES AND THERE IS ONE WITH LUTHER AND ROBERTA SINGING
Probably his best interview,
I knew he was gay after the first 30 seconds. How did people back in the 70/80s not know?
Lmfaoooo
Who cares
@@darkgable85 you do cause commenting lol . The hell 🤣🤣??
@@TheBaldHeaux I'm sorry are you her lawyer...
@@TheBaldHeaux stay in your lane.... The hell 😂
Would never have thought that great singer great guy
Oh my god I love him!
Incredible soulful voice. Him being gay changes nothing
Seeing two gay people on television having a human conversation was such an inspiration to me as a child. ❤️
U knew they were both gay as a child ?! Lol
I love what you said
That is funny🤣🤣🤣
So being gay in “human”??
I was today years old when I learned Luther Vandross was gay. But watching this video ... it's pretty obvious. lol
Would you be able to post the interview with Jennie Garth from 1999 plz
❤️ LUTHER ❤️
I only found out he was gay recently. So sad he felt he had to hide it for all his life and so devastating he left us so early. He doesn't stop me being a little bit in love with the guy. Ok, more than just abit :)
Can you upload his performance?
Wonderful artist! Gone too soon
So true, gone way to soon, but people didn't know is that when Luther died he was his mother's last living child, Luther had 3 other siblings that died from diabetes and strokes, sadly Luther's mother out lived all of her children and for a mother to bury all her kids, wow!

Wow.....
How did any of his female followers think those gestures meant he was straight? Glad times have moved on.
They knew Luther was gay, women just love living in a poetic fantasy World which is "SO Amazing" For their LYING MINDS
Luther is very missed ❤

HEARTBEAT PROPS to Rosie O'Donnell because she was not fake she was a REAL one. She generally had an affinity for damn near everybody.
they kissed at the end...wasnt expecting that
2-0 !
Folks all up here talking about blah blah blah he was gay, this that and the third. Well I mean, even if he was that was his prerogative, his business. The man was a talent and that's all that matters ❤ ❤
I didn't know that luther vandross was gay all alot.. I just find it now that he was guy
Lmao, even our grandparents knew he was gay
He died way early
He died July 1st 2005, I was Married July 2nd 2005😔 worst day of my life😭😭😭
@@MichelleisMarried123❤ 0:00 0:00
Genetic unfortunately. He, his dad and all 3 siblings died before 55
Ro Ro, Rosie professed to as being gay, but Luther never did! I thi k that your comment was absolutely horrible and unfounded. Which are you?
It's sad that he had to hide his sexuality, knowing it would be detrimental to his career.
80s gay was something different…
Beautiful gay man. Amazing singer
now I see he is gay..never knew, I was young so..no hate, great voice
Give me a kiss, what😸😸😸✌
This dude was so sweet im getting diabetes just by looking at him
Woman love gay men😂😩 did they just kiss?😭
Yes lol
Yeah he definitely sus...
Who cares about his personal life
I get gay vibes.
He was bi
