Anything of Luther Vandross is FLAWLESS and PERFECT

I saw an interview with him and Mr. Vandross was quite the perfectionist in multiple areas of his life. The thoughtfulness he put into so many things was crystal clear. Musically he is bar none!! 🎼 🎤 🎶 #GoneTooSoon R🖤🎤P

Jack, it was written by Marvin Gaye, originally song by him and Tammi Terrell.

He did it recently. Check the channel, it was great.

On every album Luther would do at least one remake of a song. Luther would give these remakes the full treatment (I used to say he “Lutherized” the song. Usually from that point forward the song was his. People usually don’t even remember the earlier version. I loved Luther. Saw him live 3 times!

He didn’t do a remake of this song with Beyoncé, but the song he did remake with her for her Dangerously In Love album is called The Closer I Get To You which was originally written and sung by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack In 1977. The two songs do sound pretty similar, though.

I still get chills whenever I hear this song! A forever classic. Can you imagine being in love like this! We should all have a love like the one portrayed in these lyrics. Luther’s song lyrics & vocals are ALWAYS top notch! *chef’s kiss*.

I give you the flowers the birds and the bees love that line but u should react to the original by the late marvin Gaye and the late tami Terrell if you don't know who tammi Terrell she is best known singing with marvin Gaye she died in March 1970 after removing a tumor from her brain.

Hey, Jack. If you wanna hear a flawless Luther duet, check "I Who Have Nothing" (Luther Vandross & Martha Wash). It's one of the most beautiful duets of all time!

To me, there was nothing close to Luther Vandross's vocal prowess. Tonally unique! Also (and even more striking), he was even better in person. In the 80's, I was absolutely floored when I saw him and DeBarge in person at the Westbury Music Fair in Long Island, NY. When he left this earth, he arguably took the most unique vocal instrument with him. One of the greatest vocalist of any genre that ever lived. Bar None!

Driving home in the rain tonight, perfect weather for Luther Vandross &Martha Wash “I Who Have Nothing”7:27 minutes of old school bliss, check it out! Missed you ❤️ glad you’re back

React to Luther vandross- “superstar” and “dance with my father”.

Luther is amazing. Check out his duet with Martha Wash 'I Who Have Nothing' it's next level good ❤

Now you gotta do switch: I call your name and debarge: all this love. Oh and deniece williams: free

Oh man!! Thanks Jack for playing my cut!!! This song is everything!!

I love your reaction lol!! A lot of babies made just from that song. That Cheryl Lynn’s Album was incredible. Please listen when you have a chance. 🔥

When they pluck a stringed instrument like a violin or cello, it’s called “pizzicato”. You should check out his cover of I Who Have Nothing, I think with Martha Wash.

You must listen to "Amazing" by Luther; he sang it for his Niece at her Wedding. Also, listen to "Dance With My Father" it was his last recording.

Cheryl and Luther were heavenly together ❤ 😍

This song is Butter!!!

That was a good catch on how the strings changed. The many times that I have listened to this song, I never caught that before. I will hear it from now on.

I must say Im loooovving ur reactions to everything from Selena to Luther....I love to see some1 simply just appreciating music....It def puts a smile on my face...You Go Boy!!(In my Gina voice!) Lol #keepuptheawesomejob

Marvin Gaye wrote this song for his boo Tammi. Luther came through and made it his own. That’s saying a lot because he’s a feature. This is Cheryl’s cover.

This is a cover of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrells Tamla/Motown duet. From their duet album titled "United" the original song was written and arranged 100% by Marvin Gaye. If it wasn't already mentioned.

Please review his song "So Amazing". Talk about chills and goose bumps! This is it.

React to Luther vandross “take you out”!!!!

My jam from when I was a kid...I'm so glad I'm Gen X.

Men just don't sing of love like this anymore! They don't show vulnerability! What happened? All I hear now is men talking about how much money they supposedly have, how many guns he has, who he shot and btchs and whrs! Boring! Do they even love anymore?

This song was first done by Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell. When you have a chance check it out by them. I was a teenager when Marvin and Tammy did it. It was good slow drag music. Oh yea! The Flower 🌹

NOWWWW we talkin! What yall young bucks know about sitting on your steps with your ol'head friends blasting this drinking beer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMG the memories (im tearing up)

Hi Jack! Please react to another fire duo by Luther & Gergory Hines, "There's nothing better than love."👍

Jack! I love that you love R&B music and especially the old classics! I love your videos man! You should watch them sing this LIVE on Soul Train! Sounds exactly the same but you can definitely see they’re singing live. Also, you should watch the the YT video that went viral this last Summer.

Omg...omg... my favorite of all time ..... ty my dear ...

This is a classic for sure. But also check out Luther and Martha Wash do “I Who Have Nothing”. They harmonize and sing the heck out of that song. It’s another Lutherized song. He takes songs that have been song by other people but somehow makes them all brand new.

One of the greatest duets ever made.
