Remembering Luther Vandross
Musicians' Corner remembers Luther Vandross
Thinking of that special voice. In a world full of singers, imagine that a voice can be as unique and as easily recognizable...
Luther Vandross.
What can we say?
He spoke for himself, and he only needed a note to do that.
The king of covers, Luther Vandross, would make any song his own. Starting out as backup to another velvety voice, Roberta Flack, and becoming an in-demand backup singer, before he went on to being the much loved and heavily Grammy-decorated lead that he was, after the breakthrough with his group Change, Vandross also penned hit songs. He further found himself in many duet collabs.
One of us recalls seeing him at Royal Albert Hall, where he had a residence for a few shows, one of the many highlights in the career of a very talented performer indeed.
LUTHER VANDROSS, April 20, 1951 – July 1, 2005
