This is going to be some juicy tea! Juicier than Luther’s curl back in the day.
Exactly 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
His curl didn’t quite curl all the way lmao
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂
😅😅😂😂🤣🤣I am hollering!!!
HA! 😫😂😂😂
I can tell you one thing, he dated the right men because he's been dead for a minute and we still don't have a tell all book...he was private and obviously, discreet...I absolutely LOVED him and his music!!! One of God's greatest gifts to this world.
Yes. Given that no messy or greedy "queen" has snitched to the media for money or clout in 16 years, that makes the rumor that he dealt with married men even more believable. It seems as if he only dated men with just as much to lose.
@@tincredible thats smart on his part
Luther didn't like the queens . The catch one bar where the writer caught Luther and Randy was a notorious spot for the Trades to come thru.
thanks for that tidbit of information...yes, he definitely picked the right ones
@@siscoramos5315 Wow. Interesting. I guess another thing that worked in Luther's favor was that his heyday was prior to the Information Age, social media, celeb vloggers/bloggers, cameras galore, and Paparazzi, so he could better protect his privacy....Because there is no way in the bloody hell a star as big as Luther was in the 80s and 90s could be partying in gay bars and publicly smooching with other men in gay bars and it not be a viral story the following morning.
My brother wrote to his record label to see if he could get an out of print album. Luther found out, and sent him two autographed albums special delivery. I’ll never forget that. He wrote a letter thanking him for loving his music.
🥺❤️ love Luther so much
❤❤❤
Anyone who was alive during the Luther era only cares about his voice and how his songs make us feel❤️
Some people are discreet, but other times there’s just nothing to talk about. Not everyone walks around screwing a bunch of people. If they’re religious, for example, they might be very picky and not into casual relationships. Nothing wrong with that, and it doesn’t mean there’s something to hide.
Well said!
Truth
I was born in 91 my childhood was surrounded by his music
very true
Luther was one of the greatest Recording Artists ever. His sexuality didn’t define who he was. Love you Luther, rest eternally.
EXACTLY
Luther’s sexuality wasn’t talked about. When he sang the GBW were mesmerized Luther sang the KFC commercial early on.
Wish y'all would keep that energy for everybody else🙄 but y'all so quick to call everybody feminine smh
Luther gave the best concerts He sounded just like his records. I still miss and love Luther
Yes he did! I miss him too!!!
Remember the Soul Train performance!?! A house is not a home!!!Lawd!
I agree nobody can sing like Luthah
I went to one of his concerts that lasted 1:15 minutes and it was the absolute the best one I ever attended. For that short time I didn’t feel slighted.
Saw him at the Oakland Coliseum in the 80's...WOW Bad Boy Having A Party😍
I’m glad Luther had a wonderful childhood because the Debarge story still has me traumatized.
It’s just sad his mother buried all her children 😔
Me too.
Ouu me too!
True
I can’t even watch pet 2
Only thing that matters to me is that Luther was an amazing performer, and his vocals are greatly missed. Sorry his mother had to experience the loss of her child before she passed.
She outlived all of her children, I heard.
She also outlived what is believed to be her only grandchild as well. Not sure how true this is but the information was in an article some years ago.
@@amarie8769 Wow! How tragic. I didn't know that. Thanks.
His mom said: Please don't take him he is all l have left!!!! That made me cry
Forever, for always, forever Luther V. 😉
Luther owed us nothing but that beautiful voice. He meant so much to us 🙏🏾
💯Don’t care nothing about his personal life!!
🗣️🗣️🗣️ SAY IT FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!! someone commented that when they heard he might be homosexual, it changed their impression of him… LIKE WWWHHHAAATTT
Gay or not can’t take away the man s talent and legacy Rest in paradise
Yesss!
THE R. I. P. (Rest in Peace) LIE!!!!!!! Soon as a person dies, people love to say, “they are in a better place now” They are resting in peace” My question is, Who told you that? What do you base that statement on? People think that they are doing the family a favor by telling them that their wicked loved ones are resting in Peace. The hard truth is that if they lived a sinful life against Yahuah and died in that state, THEY ARE NOT RESTING IN PEACE. Sorry! Those who die in their sins do not rest in peace (Isa 48:22). I don’t know why folks think that people who live their lives as: effeminate, homosexual, fornicators, idolaters, adulterer, whoremonger, covetous, thieving, liars, without any thought of repentance, think that they will enter the kingdom of Yahuah (Eph 5:5 and 1Cor 6:9). He has said that only the upright enter into peace (Isa 57:2). There is no peace for the wicked (Isa 48:22); and when they die they do not enter into Yahuah’s rest (Heb 3:11). See, those who go down to the pit have no hope at all. Once you leave this side, there is nothing left but judgment (Heb 10:27).
People should take time and ask themselves, where do they think the wicked actually end up? They don't get a free "do what you like pass" and get to R.I P. too, NO! The scriptures tell us that Sheol has enlarged itself, and opened its mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, shall descend into it (Isa 5:14). Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished (Pro 11:22). Death shall seize upon the wicked, and let them go down quick into the pit (Psalm 55:15). When the wicked die, their soul wonders looking for a place to rest but never finds it. To be eternally separated from your creator is Hell in itself.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SOULS OF THE "WICKED" AFTER THEY leave their bodies? When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; their thoughts perish from this side (Ps 146:4 and Ecc 9:5). But they have a level of understanding in the spirit realm that knows they can't rest. Remember what the Father promised... He said, "So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my "REST" that do wickedly in my sight (Heb 3:11 and Ps 95:11). Well, such spirits shall not enter into habitations (rest), but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
THE 1ST WAY, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. THE 2ND WAY, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. THE 3RD WAY, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. THE 4TH WAY, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. THE 5TH WAY, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. THE 6TH WAY, AY, which is worse than all the ways, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned and refused to repent while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times (2 Esdras 7).
So, those of you who want to play around in unbelief like the seed of Cain, lot's wife, and the inhabitance of Sodom and Gomorrah, the Israelites in the wilderness etc… GO RIGHT AHEAD and FIND OUT "FIRST HAND" That there is no such thing for the wicked dead called “R.I.P”
@@MilknhoneyEnlighten - R.I.P Luther Vandross.
For all your proselytizing, in the end, it is the mercy of God who we all depend on, not judgments of others.
Kevin Richmond
What part of he did not like BLKs at all don't you guys understand?
He hated my BLK guts but I'm gonna buy his songs and make him rich?
If that's the case, you may as well buy the kkk's greatest hits for your music
collection!!
I don't care what his sexual preferences were, the man was a phenomenal singer and I still play his music to this very day. His music was versatile to the point where you can actually dance to a couple of songs and most of the others were for setting a romantic mood....baby making music. May he rest in peace, there will never be another like him.
He is the ONLY act I traveled several states to see. And I have all his music and videos
Ash u is a treasure 💖
💯.
I’m still listening too! I looooove “Dancing with my father, If I didn’t know Better, Endless Love, A House Is Not A Home, and Always & Forever will always be my Jamz!!!! Damn Luther “Like an old school 64, they don’t make em like you anymore” - words borrowed from #RonaldIsley ……. Rest with OUR FATHER in Heaven & HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON peacefully, you certainly deserve the peace that this world did not allow you. I know you’re singing the most beautiful tunes up there as the angels blow their trumpets!! #NeverBeAnother #RIPLutherVandross 🙏🕊✝️🥀💔☮️
He will always be private husband. I played he song when I walked down the isle.
"Them little light-skinned DeBarge folks was ghetto" took me all the way OUT!
Fun fact: Luther wrote and produced “Jump To It” by Aretha Franklin. You can actually hear how he coached her vocals on that track because of you listen closely, she delivers the vocals close to how he would typically sing
wow i didn’t know that. love that song!
Does not matter even if he had 10 heads and ten arms, Luther could truly sang with the most unique voice.
I second that
That part
Lol.. thirst is real
Luther Vandross will FOREVER be one of the BEST R&B artists of all time. No one did it like Luther, and no one will.
Yasss!!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Only Phillip Bailey of EW&F.
“Truth Be Told”…haven’t seen anyone come close yet…”holistically”…
What's good? I recognize you from Monty Woodgrain chat. You a mod right?
@@MissTangy Yeah
I met Luther when he stayed at the hotel where I was working. He and I talked and he was always nice too me and I was polite too him. We laughed and talked. He was never rude At All
When Luther was alive I never heard anything bad about him. He's dead💀,
gone💨 and buried 🪦🥀 let's, let the dead be at rest, in Peace 🕊️
We will always love Luther Vandross, noted for his sweet vocals.
I know for a long time after he died, I couldn’t listen to any of his music without crying. I still cry, sometimes,…..damn, he was just that good. I miss his voice, there will never be another Luther 🎼
Right with you
I found it hard to listen to his music after he passed, too. He'll always be my favorite. I got to see him perform twice.
I've heard that he didn't have a partner because he was respecting his mother's beliefs. If that is true, it's very sad.
No one can compare to his sweet voice.
Yes me too still get really touched and cry at times over his passing - much too soon. There will be no one like him, the most wonderful singer ever. Forever loved and missed. 🙏💖
I thought I was the only one who would cry over Luther. It took me a minute too to be able to listen to his music again. There will never be another Luther. RIH.
@@lynnbriones445 yes I feel the same, once read in "blues and soul magazine" that he dreamed of meeting the right person and true love, and it saddens me he didn't (at least at the time) I was aware of the circumstances but not that he couldn't go through with it of respect of his mother. He loved her deeply. You are so lucky to have been at his concerts twice. Blessings for our beloved Luther 🙏💝, and much love to you Lynn. 🤗 💝
I absolutely love “Never Too Much”, and his duet with Cheryl Lynn “If This World Were Mine.”
Lola, I have to say that was one of my favorite as well. Love Cheryl Lynn.
YESSS!
Yesss. I have 'Never Too Much' as a ringtone.
Yes! I love those songs too.
Yep awesome song
Wait. Luther Vandross' mother outlived ALL of her children? That is tragic.
Luther Vandross is one of the greatest vocalists ever. Native New Yorker. He shared his gift with us, his private life belongs to him.
👏🎯
❤❤
Pick me's and mammies love BM but they don't love you
@@vickiekennedy2984 So true, but I think a lot of women are getting fed up. I actually saw a porn with 2 black people on it, and it didn't even seem natural for them to mate with each other. Sad sad day for Black America. Regarding Luther, I don't want a man who hates women singing love songs to me.
Facts!❤❤❤❤
Luther deserved all the success he obtained,he really paid his dues.
Agreed!
Facts
LUTHER VANDROSS DESERVES RESPECT, BUT ANITA I DON'T KNOW.
Please never forget the timeless classic collaboration with Gregory Hines.. R.I.P. to both of these kings😔👑👑👑
So Amazing! One of my favs!
@@mynekamartin1570 @There’s nothing better than love”☺️
My fave Lufa sawng!!!!
Word out back then…Those two were a thing🤗‼️
I bought Luther's music and I loved his music and I have no right to question his private life.he had talent. May he rest i n. Peace
I love Luther Vandross. I don't care what his sexuality was. I still listen to his music, he will always be my favorite singer. Rest In Peace Luther🕊❤🙏🏽
Say it again. I don't know why people get so involved or disappointed in other people personal lifestyles. I am still going to play my R Kelly songs regardless of if he rots in jail or not.
I worked as an intern (coffee and lunch gofer) back in the 70's for a record company. People would be surprise at how many singers male and female where actually gay or bi sneaking down low lovers into their hotels after a show.
It’s like when I found out George Michael was Gay I still had a crush on him and I still love His Music just like I will forever love Luther
Same Here🎯
Homo, hetero, in-vitro... didn't matter to me, just SING!!!
I loved Luther so much as a child. My family use to say “how you know so much Luther and you’re a kid.” He died 7 days before my Sweet 16. I rearranged my entire time entrance song to my party. My friends were mad cause we originally was walking in off of Denise Williams-Black butterfly. I had the DJ to say “this entrance is dedicated to the one & only Luther Vandross. I entered off of “So amazing.” I was crying my heart out cause it was my birthday and plus Luther died. To this day and I’m 32, I still cry everytime I hear that song. It was my becoming of a woman song. I ended up doing a a dance with my aunt to Black butterfly 🦋🥰
Luther would LOVE this🤎
Wonderful story he would be proud ❤️
Omg! You got me crying young lady! What a beautiful story. Happy New Year and many blessings
@@blasianrules5134 awwwwww thank you
I love that song black butterfly 🦋🦋🦋 I would love to see the dance you and your Aunt did to this, and So Amazing is a beautiful song...R.I.H.P Luther Vandross 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I worked for a lady who knew Luther. I was so crazy about him I begged her repeatedly to introduce me. She was very religious and kind. She finally took me aside and said don't place your heart on something you can never have. I got her meaning right away. I still loved him to this day.
That was mean of her.
@@marrharris6169 No it wasn't. That was actually a very nice and gentle way of saying something clearly without flat out exposing him. She was considerate of Luther's privacy and the fan.
@@AJ-hg1cr Your opinion is based on subjectivity and not fact. For example, if I were friends with someone and knew they admired someone else I would make it happen and not tell them it was something they could never have. She doesn’t know that. Luther was not god, and she would not be introducing him to a journalist or gossip column. So in YOUR opinion, it wasn’t rude, and YOUR opinion doesn’t dictate that of everyone else.
😭🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂 It doesn’t get realer than this😂💯 Keep it real to the next level
@@marrharris6169 I agree
I remember watching this interview with Mr Vandross, The journalist asked him if he was gay. Mr Vandross exact answer to her question was, I don't owe the world nothing but good music 🎵🎶. And he was absolutely right. What people do in their private life is their business. I never looked at him as gay or straight. I just looked at him as a good entertainner that made good music that made people fall in love. Back in the late 70s and 80s, and early 90s was the best era of music. To me thats just my opinion 🤷🏾♀️. But overall I loved Luther, Freddie, George Michael, Boy George. Loved their music and I still listen to their music to this day. Good music never dies, regardless of the entertainers sexual preference. There's a lot of hip hop artists are gay. I respect that men in Luther era wasn't so blunt with it. Luther, Freddie, George Michael they sold talent not sexuality. Well George Michael did later in his career 🤔🙄🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️....
Lol he was homosexual
REALTALK TRUESTORY 4REAL4REAL THANKS4SHARIN FACTS ❤ ♥ 😍
Luther’s voice was a blessed gift to us all. Period. His performances were like none other. He dragged a song out to make sure we all received what we came for and made us feel his lyrics deep down in our souls. To this day his music brings tears to my eyes. We don’t, didn’t own him and have/had NO right to his personal life. Rest in peace Mr. Vandross.
Yeah!…so unnecessary!🙄
Well Said!!!!!!!!
This is true about Anita Baker! Anita actually thought she was above him..she opened for him and actually opened for him in Dallas Texas. She came out and (tried to)sang one of his songs ....tried...
Luther shut her down...
When Luthers song "Never too much," took off and topped the charts. Aretha Franklin asked him to write a song for her with the same sound/feel. Luther then wrote, Arethas 1982 hit. "Jump to it."
@mac Carter that is straight up FACTS 💯 A lot of people did not know Luther wrote the song and a lot people did not know the song was a hit! Jump, jump, jump to it!
I didn't know that, I loved Both songs
And that's when I got up and got to jumping! Ive always wanted to do "THE QUEENS" SONG .
I heard it at 16, I love them both but The Queen was the ...OMG...OH I'M AT A LOSS OF EXPRESSION!!! all my life is a "Sweet Bitter Love " PRAISE FOR THE QUEEN. MPABBUH...RIP👑
Appreciated by me and thanks to the voice for writing it. Mpabbuh...RIP L.V 👑💝
THAT’S MY MF SONG!!!! 🎶 JUMP, JUMP, JUMP TO IT! 🗣
Freddie Jackson gotta have some scaling hot tea on a stove somewhere lol
I know the kettle damn near ready to fall off the eye. 🤣😂 Freddie always gave me feminine vibes.
Freddie and that popping lipgloss.lol
@@countrygirl8295 Don’t his lipgloss be popping? Sometimes I be jealous of those lips. If he start a lipgloss line, I swear I’ll buy every flavor. Lol
They been talking about that poor man since I was in grade school. Smh...he has never been seen with a woman....and that's cool with me...DO WHAT YOU LIKE..Shock-G
I always thought Luther and Freddie had a thang. Luther would compliment him often in his shows. Just sayin....
We rate Mr. Vandross. He was one of the best singers of all time. I wish that he was still here.
So Amazing was my first dance song for my wedding. When Dance with my father came out, my father had just died and I couldn’t watch the video or listen to the song without crying. He was so grand in concert. I saw him in NYC, he sang an extra 30 mins because his drummer died that morning dedicating the show to him.
A family friend of mine sung "So Amazing" at my mother and stepfather's wedding in 1992. So amazingly, my parents are still smiling.
I remember going to see Gladys Knight in concert and Luther was a background singer. Through the show she gave him props. "You will be hearing this man on the radio real soon and his name is Luther Vandross". At the end of the show she said it again. We never could have imagined all that he became.
We went to the circle star one night to listen to Luther. I was changed forever on what singing really is.
@@wanaraz The Circle Star was a great venue!
Never. Really know like that one
Mercedes
Luther was the only and is the only singer that I paid money to see fantastic show man and singer! RIP
Lies !! By the time Gladys Knight went solo, which was 1990, Luther Vandross was ALREADY an ESTABLISHED SINGER...he NEVER sang background for her -- you're confusing him WITH DAVID PEASTON, who was being managed by Barry Hankerson and with whom Knight had starred in an off-broadway play entitled, "Madam Lily" #bloop #factcheck
Dionne Warwick is one of the most underappreciated singers anything she did in the 60s cannot be touched
Ain’t that the truth! Her Cole Porter cover album is legendary.
She Did Have Her Glorious Years. (I WILL NEVER LOVE THIS AWAY AGAIN)
Exactly! Love Her Music!
Not a fan of hers but, there is no denying that she can sing 🎤
When she sung you gonna want me back....pure butter
I actually saw Anita Baker in concert years ago in Raleigh, North Carolina. I had ALWAYS been a fan of hers, until I attended her concert. The concert started 1 to 2 hours LATE. They would not allow anyone to even enter the building. Everyone had to stand in line outside, waiting for the doors to open. When Anita finally hit the stage there was no apology from her. Some of the audience started booing her as a result. She literally turned her back to the audience and told everyone she was going to sing to her band. Her excuse was that she would not be seeing her band for awhile, thus she wanted to sing to them. She definitely came across unprofessional, disrespectful, and like a diva that night. She literally performed several of her songs with her back turned to the audience. We paid to see her. I will NEVER again pay to see Anita Baker. I will say that lady CAN sing. She has an amazing voice, however her attitude is extremely disrespectful.
I saw her at the dpac.... And her back round singers didn't know the lyrics to her songs... She didn't look like she wanted to be there.. when she finally came on stage, I was like that's not Anita that's Nell Carter. Until she started singing. I felt kinda of sorry for her.🤷🏾 ijs...
I’ve heard that she was a diva
I have heard story upon story about her and her diva ways. It was disappointing to hear because I thought she was the epitome of grace & class. I remeber the morning they played her music for the first time. I lost my mind and begged my Mom to buy me the tape. Yes, im ancient! Lol
This is disappointing to read about Anita Baker because I love her music.☹️
My ex husband saw her in the ATL Airport and said, she acted the same way. He never liked her after his encounter with her.
No matter what happened or didn’t happened, no one could sing like him and. No one ever will.
Luther’s camp is extremely loyal. They loved him as family and he treated them well.
Babyface...was the one that said "Don't let the light skin fool you!"....talking about the DeBarges😳😲😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Bless his soul. He gave a lot of people joy through his talent. Gone but not forgotten.
Never FORGOTTEN....When I was a young girl, My Aunt would have Me sing Luther's songs with her. That's where My love for Luther Vandross came from. Thank you Auntie🥰.... I'm now 47 and My Aunt and I still sing his songs together....
Luther Vandross has been and always will be the greatest performers of all time ❤❤❤❤
Mine too
Omw home to NJ watching. Luther and Whitney used to do a giveaway on the holidays for the poor and homeless. When I lived in transitional housing I attended. The stuff they gave was nice.
Wow Felicia!
God Bless You 🙏🏽
Do you still live in the North?
Wow! Didn’t know that.
OMG, people still questioning if Luther was gay? Must be the same folks that believed that Liberace was straight.
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats funny!
Liberace was so gay he didn't walk..he floated on stage!🤣😉
@@freshbme2 Boy oh boy did he float.lol
Lol
Love Luther 💘 😻 💜 He had the most amazing voice and to date it is still incomparable 😇
I played saxophone with Luther during the Heat tour. He and his organization were first class!
I don't care how much of a diva Luther was, I love him. His voice was magical.
Correct!!! And never to be duplicated ever again! (BIG FACTS)
I hate when you sing 😂
@@awwyeahme2🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm coming to find you and take your phone away!!!! You're on punishment!!!!!
Sounds like he would not negotiate his worth to others standards; life goals 🤷🏿♀️
@@paleriedove3333 😂
Anytime that a person says your first name ONLY… And people automatically know who you are… THIS is ICONIC status!!! Thanks for the video!
#Luther❤️
I didn't hear his rendition of 'Killing Me Softly" until after his passing. The lyrics were not changed (well, except for 'young boy' to 'stranger.') But he sang it almost exactly the way I first heard it from Roberta Flack. It sounded so honest and heart-felt, and being that he could not share that part of himself during his life, the words now register on another level. It always tears me up. Live your life for you, Y'all. It goes by so fast.
That "I put everything on my wedding ring, it ain't no mountain high enough" made me fall out my chair!!! Ashley - u stoopid!
Right? It sent me!😂
When Luther passed I was in the break room with my headphones on listening to him. I looked up 6 co-workers were standing there looking at me. Then they broke the news to me. I was devastated. I love Luther.
Right I went by Miss Vandross in high school.. love ❤️ him
I was waiting on my mom at the salon cried also
😢
Ashley's old Hollywood scandals videos hit different when you are doing chores around the house and riding down the road. 👊🏻
Are at work ......
I was doing chores lol. I love doing chores while listening to her and Kendall Rae
Girl they hit you in the body, and the soul... with knuckles 🤜🏽👊🏾🤛🏿😳🤭
I was at work. This wasn’t juicy like the other ones tho. I guess cus he was so private. I have never heard not 1 ounce tea on him lol
Be cleaning up like "CHILE WHAT?!" LOL she's really a great story teller
Diabetes and hypertension together ain’t no joke. I heard the rumors about his “loneliness” for years
Let’s not forgot he redid Karen Carpenters song “don’t you remember” and made it a HIT!!!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Superstar
I watched Luther's autopsy and it was said he had a food addiction that started from childhood. His father died at a very young age from diabetes and so did his siblings. Although he was fighting diabetes he was fighting his food addiction more. He found solace in food. That was one of the reasons for his weight fluctuation.
@@louisegross3886 It is a show call Autopsy that looks at the autopsy of celebrities. He is a well respected doctor who looks at the autopsy records and interviews friends and family close too the person. Using the records and interviews he gives you another conclusion as to how the person died or what killed the person. Luther's health was a major factor on his death. He was aware of his diabetes but had an unhealthy eating addiction.
I know the show but I never saw LV let me look that up ty
Heaven knows really for the
Whole story .
Southern food or just any Ole food? 🍲
@@amandadassonville4043Any food.
Anytime somebody narrates an autobiography to the point that you can "clearly" visualize it to the point of seeing yourself getting lost in it is pure genius !!! I am defifately a fan Ashley !!!
Lol exactly right there with you
THE GENERATOR: I was the Club Manager, Head Resident DJ, & designer of The Generator in Chicago. Unless he was totally incognito recognized by no one, Luther was NEVEr in The Generator. Many artists did pop in, but not Mr. Luther Vandross. I'd have been totally gaga if he had!
Plus if he was in a gay club, it was in NYC.
I loved me some Luther, I will never put him down. What a voice. Saw him in DC what a show.
I had the pleasure of seeing Luther in concert at least 5 times and let me tell you, there will never be another. That mans voice was from another place. Absolutely beautiful! He sang what you wish you could say. Superstar/till you come back to me. Folks need to stop focusing on his private life and embrace his gifted voice b/c nothing else matters. RIH Luther 💜💜💜
Ashley, in a world where so much is going wrong and where things are so serious, you make me smile so hard! You are a ray of light!
Thank you so much I try my hardest lol 🥰🥰
She really is!!🥰🥰🥰
Yes Ashley is the best!❤
Exactly!! Excellent story teller! You have a book right?!?
Ashley gives off Tiffany Haddish vibes!!
I am and will always be a Luther fan.
I don't care who he slept with, he is MY LUTHER!!
FOREVER, FOR ALWAYS, FOR LOVE!!!
Ashley, I was rolling laughing at so many parts. Ex; the laughing that En Vogue supposedly did at Luther and the De Barge Family would be out here knocking folks out and Aretha and her crown and the way the song was supposed to be sung like. Girl, I hit the floor.
It’s not hard to believe that the DeBarges was gangsta. All that trauma they couldn’t take out on their parents 😢 hurt people hurt people.
♥️
True. I heard they were a bit thuggish as well. Babyface even said this as well. Them Debarges was something else!
@@mika9916 Jermaine Jackson's said that too. I definitely believe it. If they fought each other like dogs, imagine what they'd do to someone they didn't love?
Well the debarges did come from the d. And we some thugs. Lol
Yes we are thuggish, those of us from the “D”!
Like Janet
"Luther was backstage wit all kinda jheri curl juice drippin" 😭😭😭😭😭😭 That took me out! 😂
😂😂😂😂
Lmao I’m hollering why is she like this😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Baby it was dry that night.😄😃🤣
@@helierhefortuneteller 😂😂😂😂
I find it hard to say he didn’t care for female singers. He loved loved loved “Lisa Fisher” AKA “How Can I Ease the Pain” if you watch the video he called her out and said her single is dropping. But you know I love you Ashley!! ❤
Pattie LaBelle was also one of his closest friends.
He made sure she got no shine when Lisa opened for him. He only let her sing 2 songs.
I can't attest to what Luther was like before his stroke...being one of the nurses who took care of him before his death...all I know is how loyal his inner circle were to the end...his mom was an amazing woman who didn't want to outlive her children and Lu was the last of her 4 children left...she and her sister would come every Sunday with her grandchildren...Dave Cos would come whenever he was in the area...one of his backup singers Lisa and her husband would come whenever they were around...Lisa and Nate Adderle put on an Christmas concert for the staff just before he died...Lu watched from the 2nd floor...and all his gay friends were there...his mother was an Reverend of AME church since 1984...he had an sarcastic sense of humor...his best friend since they were 19 came often...the press never tried sneak in to get any information...people knew who he was and just respected his privacy...he taught me so much about death and dying...I hoped that I helped his mom to honor him just for being who he was...that God loved him even if he was gay...and also to allow him to move on...
Hi, as I understand it, Luther was very depressed after his stroke, for letting it happen (even had to be put on anti-depressants because of it). His depression stemmed from the stroke being avoidable and caused by him neglecting his health--including ceasing his diabetes medication. And this came after a fairly long period where he had been managing it and his weight. So two questions: how much physical progress did he make during the 2 years he was rehabbing? Why was he wearing sunglasses in those last images we saw of him when he was at the rehab center?
I just loved him so much ❤❤❤
I'm sitting here humming Luther song, Don't you know lol... Then see the TH-cam alert that you posted a video lol 🤣😮
Luther was a musical genius, voice can't be touched imo!
"Don'tcha knowwwww thaaaaat!"
I agree. His voice can't be touched!
I'm crying just seeing the title. He was my Daddy's favorite singer. My dad passed 2 weeks before I turned 18 in 1998, and I miss him desperately. So I hope you don't do him too bad. But I'm here for it either way.
Oh how sweet. My heart is with you🥰❤️❣️💝
🙏🏽
Ashley awesome job on Luther vandross well done. Keep doing what you are doing.
@@brendadavis1629 thank you love.
Oh wow I sure hate to hear that🙏🏾 i hope I didn't do too much on this video lol just for you💙💙
He never publicly was in a relationship with a woman, or married a woman. Folks assumed Luther was with men.
His personal business doesn't matters to me..
Luther were blessed with an exceptional voice of joy and happiness for all .
The man gave an absolutely perfect and flawless show. I can honestly say he sounded exactly like his studio records and his visual was 100% on point...great reporting!!!
Based off everything we know about the Debarge’s I fully believe they were out here handing out ass whoopins😂
Right, three years ago I read that El DeBarge spazzed out on a dude, chased him out of a house and the guy had hid in an RV. He busted the windshield with a wrench to try and get him. 😂
It's the Detroit in em 😩😩😩🤣🤣🤣🤣
Frenchie SIx 😂😂😂
@@shadeyahuff7097 Im from the D and I dont act like that.....anymore lmao(edit:I think they come outta GR Grand Rapids and only lived in the D in spurts)
Lmaooooooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One great point you forgot to make when referring to his love for Dionne Warwick: he remade at least two of her songs: A House is not a Home, and Anyone who had A Heart!! Yes!Yes!💜
Luther had one of the greatest voice of all time u would be mesmerized by his lyrics may he continue to rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️ his music will forever live on in our hearts a great singer beautiful voice sing on Mr.Luther Vandross in heaven 🎤🎤🎤🎤 Barbara Fogg
The Debarge Family Was So Troubled....Their Story Just Makes Your Heart So Heavy...
SO heavy. 😥😪
I was in it for the music and am glad he kept his private life private, and that we had the opportunity to experience years of his songs.✨🕊✨
Beautiful person and beautiful music
Picture of Issa Ray as Luther took me out!!! 😂😂😂😂
I thought I was tripping 😭😭😭
Luther was a master performer. I truly miss Luther. His concerts were fabulous and great fun. Luther enjoyed viewing the soap opera "All My Children," There will never be another Luther. Yes, Anita did sing Luther's songs. He started singing with her off-stage, and then he came out and finished the song. You can tell Anita had an attitude. It's sad that Luther couldn't be his authentic self.
I started listening to Luther in 1980 ,and for the next 20 years and some ,he never fell off NEVER
I’ve literally never heard of any other Vandross’ other than Luther and his family that’s wild lol
Me neither. Before or since.
I have
@@Thesekidstookmychannel right that’s crazy lol
@@horizontoday7874 really ?? Before or since Luther ?
sounds dutch. probably originally Van Dros. Most american last names are english.
Love, love, love this!! Especially the Luther and Anita content. Always heard bits and pieces of the rumors and glad to hear more. You delivered in a captivating and entertaining way. Keep keeping it real 😁.
Luther was the best at it and he will be apart of my thoughts forever. We met in New York City at a movie theatre on 13th Street and 3rd Avenue. He told me I look like him. We became good friends. I even met a friend of his Gregory Hines where I was hanging out on Hudson Street in Greenwich Village. Right outside the white horse tavern. Miss you Luther and Gregory two great guys. Rip
Luther was one of the greatest singers of our times.
Still can't understand why he's not in the rock and roll hall of Fame???
Bingo
Oprah flat out gave Luther some Crystal long stemmed wine glasses and commented she knew he collected them .
She knew he was gay and tbh -we all did . Some people preferred to choose to not acknowledge it for their own comfort ( or fantasy ) levels .
I’m perplexed as to how anyone didn’t know to begin with .
Everyone knew .
He left enough clues without stating the obvious.
I think it’s the females that would have been harsh with him given his choices of songs . Luther was awesome and always will be .
Most of the women I knew didn't think he was straight. Except my aunt. She knew too, but didn't want to admit it.😂😂😂
What being an admirer of Chrystals have to do with his sexuality 😭
@@renaissancewoman100 he kinda had that prince thing going his lyrics and deep voice said heterosexual but his mannerisms and conversation said otherwise and prince also his lyric content potray something totally different than what you saw when you looked at him
Stevie Wonder could tell Luther was gay...
@@jamellfoster6029 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
...about his work with Change: folks used to use Luther without giving him credit. Look up "Bionic Boogie - Hot Butterfly", for example - he wasn't credited ANYWHERE on the single, but you can hear plain as day that it was Luther, so when Change asked to work with him, his stipulation was that he was visibly credited on anything he took part in! Awesome channel, sis!!
I didn’t give a hoot about Luther and his personal life or preferences…none of my business…but his voice was so unique…smooth as butter and kept you melodically spellbound no matter what he sang…Luthers music was my go-to music whether I was happy or sad…but therapeutic when I felt heartbroken…and it snapped me out of my depression immediately…I’d just jump in my car pop in Luther’s “The best of love” cd and cruise until my heart and mind settled…that album allowed me to go through all my emotions which helped me to put things into perspective and after an hour or so of chilling with Luther I’d worked through my emotional baggage and would get out of my car refreshed and in “it is what it is” and move on mode…I was then good and rid of all my negative inhibitions😊…always worked like a charm…therefore Luther remains my “All Time” favorite singer…ever!!!🥰…Thanks Luther!👏🏽❤
I don't care if he was gay or straight, his sexually preferences had nothing to do with me. He may had his disagreement with others, but he wasn't putting drugs in drinks of women, acused of rape or molesting children. I paid just to hear him sing with that beautiful voice of his. To this day I still listen and enjoy that great voice.
He sang, better love🔥🔥🔥
* live
I will always love “dance with my father” that song always gets me
Me too!! Makes me cry thinking of my father😭
Yes and I loved the video
I can’t listen to this song. I get sad.....
This man will FOREVER be a music icon for me!💯💪🏾
“THE SCANDAL CHYL, THE SCANDAL” that slogan should be on a tshirt! No one tells a story like you. ❤️
Luther's sexuality was not a secret to his friends.
...or most of his fans. We all would just ignore he never was seen publicly with women knowing he probably was not interested in them at all.
Not at all
@@reimourrpower9357 U
Yeah, like I knew he was gay before I even knew what gay was. I just don't care and I loved his voice!!!
He is the same age as my mother!!!!
I remember when Luther and EnVogue had a falling out. When they called him 'Lucifer' Vandross, it took me out.🤣
I remember that.
th-cam.com/video/8XEZce7nl1o/w-d-xo.html (Dawn Robinson tells the story)
Although they signed the contact to perform Luther didn’t had to treat them so badly didn’t know he could be so cruel.
Yeah he was super mad lol
@@jenniferfields7113 Didn’t like Luther after he did that.
I love the gossips you complied. What I love the most is you, you are a blast. It's your enthusiastic3 story telling, from the moment you start all the way through the end. You can sing anytime and it adds to, its makes me smile.😊
So, Luther was just a human after all, the greatest male singer of all times in my opinion, and I cover all styles, flavor, nationality, best always. Rest in peace.
Ashley you are hilarious - "His lips were pursed to the gods"--I'm on the floor rollin!!
IKR 🤣🤣🤣 I’m unalive 💀
*😅🤣😂*
They were😂
"Pursed to the guys".
I’m not gonna ever change my opinion of Luther!!! My mother who I lost 3-4 weeks ago on December 19th loved Luther and I grew up hearing his music played and my mother singing along while cooking or cleaning!!! His music makes me happy, because it brings me to a nostalgic time in my life when my mother was still here and I was her baby boy so y’all know I’m feeling this loss god bless my mama and mr Luther Vandross may they both rest in heavenly peace!!!
Send you love
Luther was the MAN
Voice was and is still AMAZING
Luther Vandross
One of the best voices in of our times. Anyone who knows me can tell you I was a fan indeed. Seeing hin 15 times and each time was absolutely magical. His music is still make me smile and I dance like I did then. Never To Much Just Wow. Luther Mastered He's Craft And People Moved. A House Is Not A Home When My Baby Comes Home. Now This Was Music. Hard To Fit The Shoe's Of The Greatest. People No Matter What One Says About His Life You Can't Change Greatness.
Luther , Cissy Houston , and a young Whitney on background vocals Chaka’s Naughty album is some of my favorite and most powerful work especially “Our Love is in Danger” and “Papillon”
New info to me! Love Pappillon!
Yes!! Love “Papillon.”
@@LRoshae yesss one of my favs definitely a beautiful song
@@lolarose2423 now that you hear , you won’t be able to hear his background vocals lol especially the “Flyyyy-yyyy-ieieee” close to the end that’s Luther
Whitney sang background in the original I'm Every Woman too.
Luther was a conflicted man. Nothing new. I’ll remember him as a great artist whose passing left no heirs. There’s only one…Luther.
🗣🎤
I still miss his voice to this day.
I was there for that DeBarge tour! I was a teenager crazy about DeBarge, I can tell you that the fans was going crazy for DeBarge..thats all I will say about that. THEY were there for Luther but, went crazy for Debarge. DeBarge family was definitely hood.. it takes Babyface and Jermaine Jackson to tell those stories. Luther was a GRAND DIVA HONEY!! ALL I GOTTA SAY IS HIM AND PATTI WERE THE BEST OF FRIENDS!
