Luther Vandross is EVERYTHING! His vocals are unmatched even to this day. No one sings like him. He truly sings about LOVE. The lyrics to his songs are beautiful, he sings them beautifully, the instrumentation is ALWAYS beautiful. I mean there’s nothing bad to say about Luther. It’s tough to pick a favorite Luther song but one of mine is “Love Won’t Let Me Wait”. The Live at Radio City Music Hall version is a masterpiece. Oh yeah, Luther live is even better than Luther recorded. Imagine that! 😂.

Don’t know if anyone mentioned this, but this song is a cover. It was originally written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for Dionne Warwick, who originally recorded it for a (now) little-remembered 1964 movie of the same name. At the time, it was only a modest hit for Warwick. When Luther covered it in the 1980s, it reintroduced the song to a new generation and, of course, Luther made the vocal arrangement his own. It was an even bigger hit with his version. Here is a link to video footage of Luther performing this song at the 1988 NAACP awards with Warwick in the audience. It should go without saying that his performance brought Warwick (as well as most of the audience) to tears: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mYVtvLiAfZrZnag.html

All right, Jack!!! I haven’t tuned in to you for a while, but when I saw that you were reviewing THIS SONG, I had to stop EVERYTHING and watch! This song is such a masterpiece, and I loved your reaction. Also, your intro is great!👍🏾💙

Luther always overwhelmed with his voice in so many ways. He had to face alot of jealousy and rumors within the industry but his fans were male and female alike. His live performance of this song in tribute to Dionne Warwick at the NAACP Awards is here on KZread also. It's a must see. 🤔

Luther is a favorite of mine. He sings with such joy and passion.

Luther's live performances are mind blowing! they pierce right to your soul, Jack!

Luther no one can compare!! He’s the male version of The Voice!! Yesssss!!!! Saw him twice in concert and live he sounds just like the recording!! LIVE!! Silhouette voice!!! He’s the man!! LUTHER VANDROSS! No Doubt!! Drop the mic!!!! 🎤

His performance of this on Soul Train is magical. 💖 Definitely looked like an experience. I remember feeling so shocked to find out that Twista and Kanye's "are you gonna be, say you're gonna be" in "Slow Jamz" from like back in '05 was actually a Luther Vandross sample. Every time I hear that part I think of this 😂

Jack...before the song even started playing I said to myself “this is gonna mess him up” lol!! Just like it messed all of us up back in 1981. I was a teenager at the time this song came out! I have so many memories! Today I am 54 years young. From the point of when this masterpiece was released, it was solidified; Luther was among the top 3- 5 greatest of all time. He was gifted! His music is timeless and will live on forever. Nonetheless, he is sorely missed. But I am thankful that God allowed us to live on the earth at this time to be witnesses to his greatness firsthand! Luther Vandross was truly a blessing to the world. You may as well close shop for the day because you can’t even top that one. Your reaction was priceless!!! Thank you for keeping this great music alive that the world in its current state so desperately needs. ❤️

I have seen him in concert 5 times and he is my favorite of all times. I am 67 years old. I ugly cried when he died. No one like him.

Luther Vandross is one of a kind. He caressed a song and made women feel beautiful. He was a gift and his music lives on.

This man gave a concert beyond measures. He really gave u an experience that u will never, never forget. RIP LV!

Made me cry!.... Took me right back.....Luther!!!!

This was one of my mother's all time favorite songs, but my dad always said whenever he came home and she had it playing on repeat he knew he was in trouble for something. He said if he opened the door and heard this song playing, he would tell himself "NOPE" and turn right back around to give her time to calm down.

The Live Version to this song is even better, Janet Jackson, and all the black Excellence in the audience is heartwarming to see to say the least, I think it was some award show but he literally had the women in the audience crying! NAACP AWARDS look it up you'll be shocked to see its even better than the album❤🖤💚!

This is my all time favorite song of his. Never mind his live version where he totally owns it!! No other artist compares to him,he is so missed. Glad you shared.

This is my favorite song of all time. Luther Vandross is my favorite male vocalist of all time.

I'm so lucky to have seen him in concert! If you can believe it, he sounds even better in person.

This song will never go out of style. This is actually a cover but he made it his own!

the bass line in Luther's song fire all day!!!! Of course vocals are supreme

Jack: "Luther's vocals r like melted butter n brown sugar mixed together in a pan, jus buttering around, whatever that verb is it's just incredible..... Incredible!" Perfect description sir!

Deborah Cox singing "How Did You Get Here?" is also another song that can move you and get you lost in the music and pull all your emotions to the surface!

Perfection just pure perfection

Brings back memories of the basement house parties back in the day and the slow “dancing” that went down to this song..AND it’s more than 7 minutes long too! 😜☺️ Luther is like no other and that voice will be missed forever, RIP! ♥️

Trust me when I say, you will change your new favorite each time you listen to this man's work. He is a perfectionist. This is what makes his music like no other. He paid special attention to every last detail right down to the last note played. I hurt so much just thinking of what more he had in his musical genius mind that the world will not ever hear.😭😭😭

My favorite song no lie I’ve probably played this song over 1,000 times just this week

Ok sweets...Luther is just 🔥! I listen to his greatest hits all the time! Sometimes I find myself crying and singing at the same time!

Thank you for viewing this song.. It brings back memories, when I saw him live.

This is one of the most significant performances in popular music history. It is simply brilliant!

Yup that's why he's my favorite singer...it catches you off guard!

Now you understand what those of us that grew up listening to artists like Luther are going through now-a-days. Music just ain't the same today. Check out his live performance of A House is Not a Home on the NAACP Awards back in the day. He killed on that performance and the people in the audience were acting just like you. We were fortunate to witness music on another level back in the day. Thumbs up to your video sir! Keep reacting!!

I thought it was the live performance... Plz Jack REACT to IT!!

Greatest vocal rift ending of all time. The melody before He says Are you gonna be in love with me. It is a plane dropping a nuke

Luther if this world was mine!!!

Him, The Isley Brothers and Aretha Franklin were "gifted" in terms of doing Covers of other people's Songs. This was actually done by The Late Dusty Springfield and it was written by Burt Bacharach and his Late Partner Hal David. If you can check out his version of Superstar by The Carpenters or Love Won't Make Me Wait by Major Harris.

This is my all time favorite song! Has been since I was a little girl and I've never wavered!!!

He was a back up singer for Roberta Flack and she pushed him out of the nest to do his own thing.

THE BEST MALE SINGER OF ALL TIME......LUTHER VANDROSS!

He is the man best that ever did it . RIP Luthor Vandross

He is king of the remakes, made this song his own like only Luther could
