Anybody seen Luther knew he was gay it was no shock or secret. Nobody cared either, he was so loved for guess what??? His musical talent not his personal lifestyle choice
@@trevorfitzherberttobin5773 You don't represent the world at large. Most people do care about a celebrity's sexual preference including Luther's millions of female fans. That's why he kept his sex life private.
Luther was indeed a rare great voice, but many women fans did not want to believe he was gay. It was about the fantasy and being marketable to as wide an audience as possible.
Amen. Being out is better than closeted. As y'all youngings can see. Ik sum one a guy, who was caught wit IT in his exit, n killed the witness. It's really serious. I'm gay. Female. Mama. Daddy. Aunt/unk. Cousins. When I came out at 15, hey y'all I'm gay! All I got was uh huh n duh. I was reversed. Like Luther trying to keep mama happy even though mama know. I'm a whole man in a female body whilst my bro is DL. Girl (because he refuse to grow) will kill you if it ever got out. I'm 35yo. Wtfc if you gay. Its trouble for me because I'ma stud but men don't like me because they can't get me n I come/came (😋) took the women they wanted.
Luther made the RIGHT choice for his OWN life. Many love and appreciate his contributions as one of the R&B icons. His legacy wasn’t tarnished/diminished by stupid conversations about his personal life. A signature voice with a catalogue that stands the test of time!
As a gay black though this makes me sad. He hid who he was for his career and to please other people. That’s no way too live. And the fact he spoke about never being in love 😢 I feel so bad for him
Never seen Luther with a woman by his side. Everyone knew he was gay. However, the fact he never said he was gay, Patti should have kept her mouth shut.
I'm 75yrs young. And LOVE me some Luther and any other person that can sing. Do you KNOW why? I have never thought of anything 😢other than their Music when it comes to Entertainers!! ❤❤
That’s my father favorite artist, he loved Luther’s music. I am the only one that never knew that he was gay. I never saw any ways to make me think that. Am surprised but Damm that man got some classics. Anytime I hear him I think of my dad RIP😢
Thanks luther from Germany. I was raised by herman parents a rnb and soul , hip hop lover. And you were one of the greatest of all time ! Thanks for all the songs, moments and love. Thats all i care about❤
My dad has been gon for 25 years, and I still cannot bring myself to sit thru the entire song Dance with my father. I'm crying now thinking about the lyrics. He made a song that literally pulls at my heartstrings. One day though, one day i will get thru that entire song. But HON-TEEE, I can listen to Glow of Love ALLLLLLL DAY EVERY DAY!! Luther, you did that!!!!
Its a shame that he couldn't be free to be himself and never found true love yet he sung about so damn well he is truly missed R.I.P and thank you for the legacy you left behind for the world to enjoy forever your timeless talent is your gift to us all and should not be forgotten or disrespected
CLICKBAIT! What rituals (if any) to Clive Davis "force" Luther to participate in? And Dyon Warrick? These robot narrators need some calibration. Another channel to avoid.
Exactly, getting tired of videos trying to tear down people for "likes". What's even more disturbing is the negative responses from viewers that are so hateful.
54 year old straight white male and I don't give 2 shits! Luther Vandross had the greatest voice I ever heard! Luther was chosen by God and God don't make mistakes!
Simply a brilliant talent! 'Superstar', 'Take you out', 'Love me again', 'Too far down', 'Since I lost my baby'; these songs are masterpieces of artistry! And so many others! Luther's orientation belonged to him!! but I thank God for the music that he shared with us and the world! His gift of profection! RIP!
Awww Luther. Nothing could ever make me turn against you. My first concert was Luther Vandross and Debarge when I was ten years old. That was definitely the NIGHT I FELL IN LOVE 🥰
What a combo! I would have loved that as a child. Now that I'm an adult, I see that all of that truly was a SHOW, an illusion that they feed to us. Nothing authentic about it. But they left us with memorable music.
I forgot to tell y'all that my mother told me I was high as cooter brown after the show from all the smokers around us smoking their wacky weed as they use to call it. After the show we went to pizza hut and I went ham lol 😂
It's so sad how all this is playing out. Now, I am starting to feel bad about people like Brittney Spears and Justin Beiber. Before, I was like, "That's what happens to the rich that live a life like that." Now I see that they paid a price without concent that messed them up later in life.
Most of us in life, have paid the price for other people's selfish needs and behaviors. Those that, always want too take advantage of us. Unleashing their drama on us, having no mercy on us, for the things that they want too use us for. All I'll say is, stay strong up against them. Fighting back is very crucial, by not showing any signs of weakness. Those that do these things like that too us, they're pure evil inside. Nothing but greed, that feeds they're selfish ways against us. Those that, like to take advantage of people, having no mercy on us. Being strong and resilient, against those that come up against you. Showing them that, we not weak people and will fight back. Believe me, the vultures are out there, in full force. Taking advantage of anything or anyone. People trust levels, they're are way down, then they ever were before. People coming at you like, a bunch of bandits, like a bunch of thrives. Our insensitive justice, has allows them too run rapid on us. All I can say is, pay attention too your money and whatever else you got of importance.
HIS CONCERTS WERE AMAZING! I MADE SURE I WENT TO SEE HIM LIVE IN CONCERT EVERY 2 YEARS!! BRILLIANT AND AMAZING! My FAVORITE SINGER AND KNOW ALL THE WORDS TO HIS SONGS!!! STILL LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC!!! ❤❤❤ REST EASY LUTHER!!!
“Dance with my Father” was one of the best songs, and best music videos ever 😍😍😍 Man he put his heart and soul into that one! It will bring tears to your eyes! The video too! It’s beautiful! That entire album (which I believe was his last one) was 🔥🔥🔥 All of the songs on there are jammin! He even has one with Foxxy Brown on there which is a more lit vibe than most of the other songs. It’s probably my favorite album of his actually! #RIHLuther you will forever be missed! ❣️🪽🙏✝️🎶🎵
I was definitely shocked...I had NO idea 🥺. I guess that was the best part of being born during those times. Our innocence was protected. We weren't exposed to all of these issues and were just able to grow and enjoy the "talent" in its purest form.

Loved me some Luther. I was a true Luther fan. When i saw him in person I jumped up and screamed on almost every song. The crowd said leave her alone, she's a true Luther fan. Luther got me through some tough break ups 😢. I don't care if he was gay, the man could siiiiing.....miss you Luther, continue to S.I.P. ❤❤❤
He chose to remain private. His wishes should've been respected. When will people stop invading the private lives of celebrities. They chose celebrity but the did not renounce private lives. Fans are not entitled to every aspect of their idol's private lives. The entitlement is astounding.
You can't tell anything @sharonlegaux1904 😤.... It's important to approach situations like these with respect and sensitivity. Instead of making assumptions based on someone's appearance or mannerisms, it's best to let individuals express their own identity in their own time. It's not our place to label or assume someone's sexual orientation without their confirmation. That's really low class of you!
His mannerisms tells it! All though we didn't care! He wasn't a sex symbol! lol😂😂😂 He was a talented R & B singer. Now we have singers coming out all the time. Too bad he couldn't live his truth! May he rest in peace!
And yet, look at the number of ppl who continue to run with a narrative that isn’t just stupid, it makes them look foolish. Clickbait works and their minds don’t.
Patti did not say that as stated in the title.But Patti was wrong as hell for speaking and saying anything about Luthers sexuality.Nobody gave a damn! She said nothing when was alive and true friends really don't say shyt when u are gone either! Talk about why Armstead left you Ms. Patti!!!

There is a difference between being ashamed n being private. Everyone has the right to share or keep private parts of their life. Why does anyone believe a performer must share every aspect of their lives with us? They share their talent - that should be enough and you should expect nothing more.
His music was all that matters. What ever he did in his personal life was his business. He made his peace with God. And only God can judge him. So let him rest In peace. ❤ Prayers .
@@ethellws My comment was "MOST" not ALL of Luther's community. And the same applies ! "We don't care about Luther's personal situation" We care about is music 🎶 💝talent and contributions to his art form!!! Gone too soon.
Just observing Luther being interviewed along with his mannerisms gestures and overall could tell anyone he was Gay. People loved his voice not his sexual preference. That's his business. May hecrest in peace!
A house is not home, is one of my favorites. I kinda knew that, it was all a front, that Luther Vandross was gay. How did I know, a man having his kind of qualities about himself. One that carries himself with great character and mannerisms. It's hard finding men like that, these day. Even though at times, I noticed how he favored this one singer on stage. I think flirting with her on stage, was his way of, throw us off. Using Her to, cover up his sexuality. Regardless, I loved his sweet and gentle personality and I love a lot his songs.❤😢😢😢 I'm always singing his songs and he will always be a memory in my heart. ❤
Yes mines too, my mom’s aunties and cousins. But you know what I have been appreciating again. “There’s nothing better than love” He and Gregory Hines. Such great music of that time. Funny thing at that time a house is not a home my mom would call it “ a house” black people 😂
Luther reminds me of Tyler Perry. Although I don't know both. Luther's pasonna in being a perfectionist in his art of singing. Like a Diva! Tyler gave me these vibes when I watched both on TV. In a different times. 80s vibes and millennium vibes of art. Both give DIVA VIBES to me in my opinion. HEYYYY....😂😂😂😊
Rumors is one thing. Outing someone else is another. In his era there were men who exuded sexual energy from both sides but were heterosexual so I can see why they thought that would work but I don’t think the public saw him that way. His voice was mesmerizing and still is. .
I love Luther. I’ve seen him about 15 times in concert. I didn’t care about that and Patti had no right to say it. His talent was undeniable and unmatched. There will never be another like him. I really miss him and I still listen to his music. His performances were amazing.
This video turned a 15 second clip of the Diva #PattiLabelle saying a quote about Luther, into a full 18 minute video 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️😅 congrats you hustled some of us.
Why does it Matter if someone is gay, straight, Bisexual , Non Sexual, Just a Human Being with LOVE and Ready to Share The Love and Passion With World, No Judging just Respect,
As a former nurse, If Luther had followed the diabetic regimen, maintained a healthy weight, worked out he could've lived a very long life. I've worked with diabetic patients who remained healthy well into their 80s. No blindness, strokes, loss of limbs, or on dialysis and today the treatments are much improved than formerly.
This is true. But there were at least two other people who were going to tell LV’s story. There was rumored a book was being written to include Luther and his private life.
Who in their right mind believe that Luther Vandross was straight it was one of those things where you don't care who the man slept with the man who wanted the best singers we've had in our lifetimes but nobody thought Luther was straight everybody knew Luther was gay it was one of those things where you just didn't give a damn a damn who cares
This brother was simply brilliant and a voice like no other! They’re human The Lord is the only one who can judge us ( All ) moving forward we’ve All got our date with destiny! They were just people in the limelight! But on that day it truly won’t matter!!!
I hardly know of anybody who criticized Luther for being gay people love his music… this video seems to be one of many to attempt division and project intolerance AI is getting out of control
This is a Bullshit report on the greatest male vocalist of all time. Why does the production team choose a clip from aLuther tribute act, its a bullshit report. Who cares what his preference was.
REALLY WHAT DOES THE WORD SAY ABOUT IT! THE WORD! THE WORD! THE WORD! YAH CALLS IT ABOMINATION.... SINCE YAH CREATED HIM AND HIS GIFTS.... PROBLEM IS WHEN YAH GIVES U THE GIFTS TO SING...IT IS TO GLORIFY YAH AND ONLY YAH.... NOT JUDGING!!! JUST SAYING!!!! JB SHALOM

There is a difference between being ashamed n being private. Everyone has the right to share or keep private parts of their life. Why does anyone believe a performer must share every aspect of their lives with us? They share their talent - that should be enough and you should expect nothing more.
Ashamed? He was private. Who are you to judge?
His music was all that matters. What ever he did in his personal life was his business. He made his peace with God. And only God can judge him. So let him rest In peace. ❤ Prayers .
My favorite Luther song is Never to Much. My mom would jam that when she had parties 😊. I sure miss those days and my mom. Rest in peace queen.
Back in the day I played that song over and over until I knew all the words 🎉
One of the best songs ever created!
My Condolences 💐
So basically you push skip on ads, and it goes right to ANOTHER AD!? YOU TUBE I SWEAR😂
I still like and listen to his music. What he did in his private life was none of our business. It was his.
Most of Black Community knew and we didn't care❤!
@@gabriellew.4847
I’m Black, I didn’t know and I don’t care. Luther’s music will forever be loved.
@@ethellws My comment was "MOST" not ALL of Luther's community. And the same applies ! "We don't care about Luther's personal situation" We care about is music 🎶 💝talent and contributions to his art form!!! Gone too soon.
Just observing Luther being interviewed along with his mannerisms gestures and overall could tell anyone he was Gay. People loved his voice not his sexual preference. That's his business. May hecrest in peace!
Luther Vandross is and will always be my favorite male artist... House is not a home is just my favorite of all ❤❤❤
Have anyone else noticed that Clive never shows his eyes! 👀
He doesn't want everyone to see his reptilian eyes.
His and puff booty’s souls are sold!!! That’s why! I’ve been saying this for years! SMH
Because he's a demon
Because they're probably roaring with the flames fire 😂😂😂.
Demons
Most people don’t care about your sexuality….his voice was magical! ❤ We love the music 💪🏾🙏🏾
A house is not home, is one of my favorites. I kinda knew that, it was all a front, that Luther Vandross was gay. How did I know, a man having his kind of qualities about himself. One that carries himself with great character and mannerisms. It's hard finding men like that, these day. Even though at times, I noticed how he favored this one singer on stage. I think flirting with her on stage, was his way of, throw us off. Using Her to, cover up his sexuality. Regardless, I loved his sweet and gentle personality and I love a lot his songs.❤😢😢😢 I'm always singing his songs and he will always be a memory in my heart. ❤
No edit corrections, on this site, no I can't believe that
Yes mines too, my mom’s aunties and cousins. But you know what I have been appreciating again. “There’s nothing better than love” He and Gregory Hines. Such great music of that time. Funny thing at that time a house is not a home my mom would call it “ a house” black people 😂
I'm not even going to touch that one, a house black people
He's my favorite singer of all time I miss him I hope he's at peace now god bless him

We miss you, Luther 💜💝💛🌺🌻🌸💐!!
Yes we do!!😢❤❤❤
Gone to soon never forgotten 😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤
Hands off his legacy! Right now.
Most people knew that Luther was gay, he was very talented and we loved his music. Nothing would ever make me feel any different about him.
Luther reminds me of Tyler Perry. Although I don't know both. Luther's pasonna in being a perfectionist in his art of singing. Like a Diva! Tyler gave me these vibes when I watched both on TV. In a different times. 80s vibes and millennium vibes of art. Both give DIVA VIBES to me in my opinion. HEYYYY....😂😂😂😊
Nobody and I mean NOBODY can touch the vocals of Luther! I miss him, don't you? ❤
Rumors is one thing. Outing someone else is another. In his era there were men who exuded sexual energy from both sides but were heterosexual so I can see why they thought that would work but I don’t think the public saw him that way. His voice was mesmerizing and still is. .
*are one thing
Are you suggesting that Luther was straight?
The best voice there ever was ❤️
Y’all late to the party we knew this in the 80’s😂😂 his mother knew too. Umm this isn’t news.
Facts!!!
A lot of people don't know, so let's help them wake up
wus
Only folks who didn’t know were the Johnny-come-lately whyte folks! There was no "homophobia" in the Black community.
Most mothers and family members already know😂.
I love Luther. I’ve seen him about 15 times in concert. I didn’t care about that and Patti had no right to say it. His talent was undeniable and unmatched. There will never be another like him. I really miss him and I still listen to his music. His performances were amazing.
NOBODY in the R&B world considered Luther as a sex symbol.
NOOOOOOBODY...... But his music was sexy ❤
@@camillebrown2941Exactly
@@camillebrown2941 Very!
🤣
No one. Period.
First time I've ever heard the name O P R Winfrey 😂😂
Nobody business let the man rest…🙏🏽❤️ LV you are definitely missed
I do remember these " rumors" back in the day.
So much to take in.
All of his music. Every song. Gone too soon. May his soul rest SIP
This video turned a 15 second clip of the Diva #PattiLabelle saying a quote about Luther, into a full 18 minute video 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️😅 congrats you hustled some of us.
I always suspected Luther was a homosexual when i was a teen.
who cares
Suspected? Shhhhhiiiiid! It was obvious ASF! Lol!
Why does it Matter if someone is gay, straight, Bisexual , Non Sexual, Just a Human Being with LOVE and Ready to Share The Love and Passion With World, No Judging just Respect,
I’m not sure how people didn’t know. I knew since I saw him singing with the group “ Change”
As a former nurse, If Luther had followed the diabetic regimen, maintained a healthy weight, worked out he could've lived a very long life. I've worked with diabetic patients who remained healthy well into their 80s. No blindness, strokes, loss of limbs, or on dialysis and today the treatments are much improved than formerly.
Patty Labelle had no business telling "his" story! It was something told in confidence - it should have stayed that way!
She was a SACK OF HORSE MANURE FOR THAT!!
This is true. But there were at least two other people who were going to tell LV’s story. There was rumored a book was being written to include Luther and his private life.
Who in their right mind believe that Luther Vandross was straight it was one of those things where you don't care who the man slept with the man who wanted the best singers we've had in our lifetimes but nobody thought Luther was straight everybody knew Luther was gay it was one of those things where you just didn't give a damn a damn who cares
@@JL54777but why?.
@@yolandawilson555 the same reason why most people tell other people’s secrets….money and shock value.
L.V. was deceased when P.L. shared the story and it in no way diminished his legacy.
Luther & Anita; Market Square Arena, Indpls, In Dec 8th 1988. My first live concert!!!!!
One of the FINEST voices of our lifetimes RIP Luther.
This brother was simply brilliant and a voice like no other! They’re human The Lord is the only one who can judge us ( All ) moving forward we’ve All got our date with destiny! They were just people in the limelight! But on that day it truly won’t matter!!!
Diddy:"Well Hottttt 🌭 Dogggg" 🤣
I hardly know of anybody who criticized Luther for being gay people love his music… this video seems to be one of many to attempt division and project intolerance AI is getting out of control
I still remember him in meteor man 😆🥃🃏
This is a Bullshit report on the greatest male vocalist of all time.
Why does the production team choose a clip from aLuther tribute act, its a bullshit report.
Who cares what his preference was.
Nobody’s business but him & GOD💯
REALLY WHAT DOES THE WORD SAY ABOUT IT! THE WORD! THE WORD! THE WORD! YAH CALLS IT ABOMINATION.... SINCE YAH CREATED HIM AND HIS GIFTS....
PROBLEM IS WHEN YAH GIVES U THE GIFTS TO SING...IT IS TO GLORIFY YAH AND ONLY YAH....
NOT JUDGING!!! JUST SAYING!!!!

I said wtf I said.
My God what a gift. His voice was smooth velvet. His voice does something good to me. I miss him. Rest in peace.
Luther was a class act!!!!
🛑People, music breaks all barriers. Elton, Little Richard, Boy George, G. Michaels, Michael, Liberace, K D, Melissa E., we all still listened to their groove. Like me some Patti, but now they gonna tell your "secrets", too babe. Memphis, 10
I didn't care about who he was dating, I love his music
The Amazing Luther Vandross
Best concerts ever. Truly missed.
We loved Luther and the beautiful music that he made.
Like ppl didn't know. Hell we knew and we loved him unconditionally. He was amazing!
Luther’s voice was simply beautiful. Simply beautiful.
There's nothing better than love!!!A classical hit...one of my favourites..RIP Luther...
A House is not a home, and Never too much are my favorite Luther songs!❤
"Anyone that has a heart"

I would of like seeing him and Jennifer Holliday do a song together. R.I.P Luther.
RIP Jennifer Holiday!

@@divineorder7695She is alive and well.
@@ladybug9274 : Thank you for the info.
Jennifer is alive and currently touring and doing her thang but if you don't know, there is a live footage of Jennifer and Luther singing together for a special. They sung Bright Over Troubled Waters, I think? Look it up, it's the closest to them both singing together.
Who didn't know he was gay? Noone cared. That doesn't take away from his amazing vocals. Luther could SANG‼️‼️‼️💯💪🏾❤️❤️❤️R.I.P. King 🙏🏽❤️
Her name is not DYONN Warwick. It's pronounced as Deeyon. Dionne Warwick.
