I’m 22 so I didn’t grow up on Luther, I know the big hits, but when I did my research, I fell in love! He has the smoothest, crisp voices I have ever heard. It’s so beautiful, I get filled with warmth every time I listen to him 😭 he’s AMAZING! And what’s crazy, is his live performances are better than the studio version 😱
@@paulapeaks3382 omg! The Wembley performances are *chefs kiss* For me, my favorite Wembley is if only for one night. I swear I got teary eyed (happy teary eyed) 😭 just beautiful and a house is not a home 😭😭
Missing Luther like crazy! The background singers were like no other background singers on the planet! Their voices compliment Luther so well and their harmonies were perfection! ❤️
NOOOOO!!!!!!!! He IS. NOT!!!!! ready for that one--That song WILL overload his system!!!!! He is barely hanging on with Luther as it is; Lenny WILL KILL him!!!!
I literally gasped when I saw the title of this vid, my favorite Luther song by far, he uses his voice so masterfully and this song is perfection. More please!
Luther floats on the notes. His voice was sent directly from the heavens. It's hard to imagine him ever singing background for anyone, but when he was pushed to the front, he never looked back. He couldn't. He was just too good. He's the one you put on when you're looking to have a "special" night with a significant other. Guaranteed success! Lol
This song transitions into "Creepin" on the album, which is smooth AF. He ends this song with the a capella "if only for one night...." And the first words in "Creepin" are... "and it's gonna be tonight..."
I am so glad you mentioned that transition into “Creepin’” which is definitely required listening. Not even the radio stations will play one without the other. So I hope that this young man listens to it that way the next time as well.
Luther is that dude! You should also check out the song that comes after this on the album (yeah, I said album LOL!), Creepin'. It's a Stevie Wonder song that Luther redid. Another classic Luther jam. Listen to If Only for One NIght and Creepin' back to back to get the full effect.
Not the he needed to do it, but Lutha was the king of remakes. He did them so well, you didn't know they were done before him. Cissy Houston is on background vocals.
Luther Vandross a true genius!!! You’re right Jack!! Luther never miss, he’s a perfectionist !! From lyrics, to instrumental background, to background singers, to band!! You will get beyond your monies worth!!! Luther is the real deal!!
Luther was one of those artists who was truly unique, no one is like him. He did a song with Dione Warwick "How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye" that I love.
First... I love Lutha 🙌🏾 Second...it is so refreshing to watch your reactions to a diverse range of old school and current music. You don’t just listen to the song and say “oh that’s a dope song”. You listen everything that encompasses the song from the production, instrumentation, lyrics, etc. Keep it pushing you’ve definitely found your niche!
Yes! Omg, yes! I saw Luther in concert years ago as a young adult. I couldn't even control the different emotions that I was feeling. It was an amazing experience. His voice was mesmerizing. 🤯
Whenever Luther does a remake, he makes it his own. This song was written and originally recorded by Brenda Russell in 1979. Luther released this awesome, more sensual remake in 2001.
Jack if you like luther you have to react to him singing a" house is not a home" live at the NAACP awards. In the crowd of celebs you' see a young Janet Jackson captivated by his performance.
One of my favorites that he has sung. He sounded the exact same when singing in front of an audience. No lip syncing at all. You should see the NAACP performance.
Jack it took a minute for you to react to Luther I’m glad your on the fan train. Luther gives me chills. we are just at the beginning keep em coming we need Luther in rotation
You need to here this song and let the next song on that album play with this song. Its called Creep. Only for one night and Creep is perfect together.
It's like everytime I catch you reacting to music that I love and grew up on you make me smile thank you Jack do more Luther Vandross. And can you react to Minnie Riperton and the Jones Girls
All I can say is Luther was a perfectionist!! So all you are ever going to get from him is profession at it's highest point. Can't wait until you sample more Luther they will blow your ever-loving mind trust me. My all-time favorite artist and I miss him so much😥😥❤💕
This is a ballad. A thematic performance which cannot be compared to intro, hook, verse songs that you can easily pause on and comment because of predictability. You cant predict a ballad like this one and they don't give you places to pause and comment. It's a beautiful continuation
Luther is just going to keep giving it.. Keep serving it.. The arrangements, the nuances in his vocal delivery and variations and the backing singers.. Oh yes.. Have been a lifelong fan of Luther.. Please, because I got to see your reaction, react to A House Is Not A Home Live and watch the performance and the star studded reactions of some major singers in the crowd..Live at The NAACP image awards A House is Not A Home.. Its what he does with his voice and how he delivers it.. Stunning
Yes Luther & Janet had great time together during making of this song and had other project in work together. It never was able finish project do Janet Jackson touring engagement and his demise.
Every time you react to a Luther song you will say 'this is my favorite'....lol.....his songs are just that awesome!!!! Take a listen to "Love Won't Let Me Wait"....
Its so funny to see you react to Luther. We know everything that Luther touched was fire! Will you please react to Rick James and Teena Marie "Fire and Desire"? You will LOVE that one!
YASSSS! ❤️ I watched all the way through just waiting for the end like, “If this boy talks over the ending we gon fight!!” Thankfully it worked out!! 😂 Okay, now do “Superstar,” & the live version of “A House Is Not A Home” at the 1986 NAACP Image Awards. Please & thank you! 😏
My absolute fav Luther Vandross song. Omg it’s just so smooth and beautiful. I love the subtle yearning and sexual undertone to it🔥🎧🖤🖤… I was around 14 when I first heard this song on the smooth jazz station 95.5:: I’m from chicago and I used to play that station every night going to sleep. The music was so soothing. I definitely discovered many gems listening to that station💕🤩
So Amazing was/is the greatest Luther Vandross song of all time. He has many great songs but that one stayed on repeat for me...💝💝💝 ***A Reaction To That Song Would Be A Treat****
I LOVE Luther Vandross!! Thanx 2 my mom always listenin 2 his CDs while she cleans around the house. Me n my mom's favorite song, especially my FAVORITE song by Luther Vandross is Superstar! It's a BEAUTIFUL song! I also like the live version he performed. My uncle has it on tape #I❤IT!!
Its too bad that you won't have a chance to catch him in concert. There are concert videos, especially of him at Wembley Stadium, from his last tour. When you've reacted to a majority of his songs, check that one out. However, as good as it is, its nothing like being in the same room with him, his background singers and his orchestra. I saw him twice, early in his solo career and at the end. The early performance featured this R&B/Jazz anjenue/phenom named Anita Baker as his opener. The last one was at Radio City Music Hall at Rockefeller Center. Thats one block from where they put up that huge Xmas tree in NYC every year. Anyway, my date and I were there, on Valentines Day. We had 2 tickets, center section, about 50 feet from the stage. It was a night, full of magic, romance, humor and some joyful noises. It was a night that I'd never forget.
Luther lives! My all time favorite artist! And my relative Nat Adderley Jr.is his arranger and keyboardist ( who is son of jazz great Nat Adderley Sr.. and nephew of jazz great Cannonball Adderley).
You MUST check out Luther at the 1988 NAACP Awards show singing Still In Love, it’s a Game Changer! Luther’s songs are great, but when he performs, they become amazing
This is one of my fav songs of Luther's, it's a pure classic. Next time react to his song "Superstar" you will LOVE it if you love this one. That is another famous classic of his
I ALSO LOVE LUTHER AND THE WAY HE CAN SING A LOVE SONG, THAT BEING SAID HE ALSO HAS A FUN UP BEAT SONG CALLED BAD BOY. ALL ABOUT A YOUNG GUY WHO JUST WANTS TO GO OUT, DANCE AND HAVE A GOOD TIME. I THINK YOU'LL LIKE IT.
Nice to see a young man like yourself reacting to this music from back in the day but I have to tell you, you haven't heard the fullness of Luther Vandross until you hear him sing live. Please check out some of his live performances esp. A House is Not a Home tribute to Dionne Warwick. He also sang a live version of If Only for One Night with Patti Labelle that I believe you would appreciate.
I’m 22 so I didn’t grow up on Luther, I know the big hits, but when I did my research, I fell in love! He has the smoothest, crisp voices I have ever heard. It’s so beautiful, I get filled with warmth every time I listen to him 😭 he’s AMAZING! And what’s crazy, is his live performances are better than the studio version 😱
This is what I keep telling Jack. I have repeatedly ask him to check out Luther Vandross Live at Wembley. The Bomb
@@paulapeaks3382 omg! The Wembley performances are *chefs kiss* For me, my favorite Wembley is if only for one night. I swear I got teary eyed (happy teary eyed) 😭 just beautiful and a house is not a home 😭😭
I’m 21 and I grew up with hes music he passed when i was 5 years old sadly 😞
You cannot go wrong with Luther
This mans music has increased the population by 80%👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶
You really can’t 🔥
My dad loves Luther may god rest his soul.
Missing Luther like crazy! The background singers were like no other background singers on the planet! Their voices compliment Luther so well and their harmonies were perfection! ❤️
Luther voice is everything, love so much!
Luther Vandross- Bad Boy (Having A Party)
You can NEVER go wrong with Luther Vandross, he’s legendary.
Next Luther reaction gotta be”Superstar/Until You Come Back To Me”, “ So Amazing” or “Wait For Love”! All 3 songs are absolutely wonderful!
The KING of romance! Vocals always on IMPECCABLE! Luther’s voice puts you in a trance. You cannot go wrong with him at all ❤️
You have to do Lenny Williams- Cause I Love You
One of the greatest love songs ever
Yessssssssssssss
Jack ain't ready for that
He has too!!!
Absolutely!!!!
NOOOOO!!!!!!!! He IS. NOT!!!!! ready for that one--That song WILL overload his system!!!!! He is barely hanging on with Luther as it is; Lenny WILL KILL him!!!!
Damn I miss Luther. That "choir" of background singers includes Lisa Fischer. Not sure if you've checked her out yet. Nice haircut!
He did! He reacted to "How can I ease the pain"
Yep. He surely did!
th-cam.com/video/1qLXbWX0QUo/w-d-xo.html
Lisa Fischer has one of the most unknown, greatest voices ever!
Don't forget Cissy Houston too ;)
@@q-tez1559 Yep, Cissy too.

YEEESS!!!
Strolling through the comments, looking for this one, ‘cause I knew there would be someone providing the Creep educational moment. 😉
Luther was one of a kind...his music stands the test of time 👏🏾
Absolutely!

By far my favorite Luther Vandross song....soooooo Beautiful.
Ok Jack, we see the fresh trim 😊
The original almost has me in tears every time.
Luther is a LEGEND. A beautiful song by him. Miss your earthly presence, Luther. RIP
Try Peabo Bryson’s “Can You Stand The Rain”. Hauntingly beautiful. You’ll love it, Jack.
Absolutely, one of my favorite songs of all time.
Luther Vandross has such a soul voice😢 it very beautiful this is a masterpiece all the way always
Luther Vandross a true genius!!!

Jack: This-is- Ja- reacts
Me: Ok
😂😂👍🏾
That intro is so fire & funny at the same time! 😂🔥🔥🔥
You need to do Luther live, he sounds better live than recorded.
One of the few who could do that!
Yes! Omg, yes! I saw Luther in concert years ago as a young adult. I couldn't even control the different emotions that I was feeling. It was an amazing experience. His voice was mesmerizing. 🤯
Whenever Luther does a remake, he makes it his own. This song was written and originally recorded by Brenda Russell in 1979. Luther released this awesome, more sensual remake in 2001.
Luther is that grown folk music
It's a perfect song. If you want another check out "Superstar" the last minute is so pure.
Yes I’ve been asking him for months lol
Jack if you like luther you have to react to him singing a" house is not a home" live at the NAACP awards. In the crowd of celebs you' see a young Janet Jackson captivated by his performance.
That last "Night" on the end and how he extended the note...perfection!!! Gotta do Superstar😁
React to Quincy Jones -“secret garden”.
With El and James❤
That one is good but I really like the "Secret Garden" version with Raheem DeVaughn and Sisqo 💓
@@llee3767 I’ve never heard of that.

Yes yes yes!!!
One of my favorites that he has sung. He sounded the exact same when singing in front of an audience. No lip syncing at all. You should see the NAACP performance.
When the choir comes in the song almost becomes orgasmic. Like it sends shivers all over me! Ugh i love Luther.
Yaasss! Luther is the GOAT. He's also great live.
Top 3 male vocalist in R&B/Pop. The skill nearly unmatched.
Luther... I literally have no words to describe him🌺👏👏👏👏👏

You need to here this song and let the next song on that album play with this song. Its called Creep. Only for one night and Creep is perfect together.
Exactly! Because Luther starts off the song where he left off saying "And it's gonna be tonight...Creep, creep. " :)
Yes, exactly! The way this song flows into Creep.. perfect.
Luther will always be in my top favorite vocalists of all time 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 the haircut with the chain is a nice style 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Love my Luther Vandross. His voice was like butter. It soothes!
I’m loving the new cut Jack. You look so much more polished! ♥️♥️♥️👊🏿👊🏾👊🏽👊🏼🔥🔥🔥

You should listen to "Baby hold on to me" by Gerald Levert ft Eddie Levert 🔥🔥
"Good love is hard to find
Told you a thousand times
Baby hold on to me" 🎵 I love ANYTHING Levert!!!
Luther is a one in a million!!!!!!!!💯
Your reactions are my favorite reactions. You know how to appreciate good, soul stirring music. Good job young king 🤴 👏
This is a ballad. A thematic performance which cannot be compared to intro, hook, verse songs that you can easily pause on and comment because of predictability. You cant predict a ballad like this one and they don't give you places to pause and comment. It's a beautiful continuation

The way Jack was looking in the thumbnail was like hmmmm you already know this is my shit now! 😂😂😂

You MUST check out Luther at the 1988 NAACP Awards show singing Still In Love, it’s a Game Changer! Luther’s songs are great, but when he performs, they become amazing
Now you have to listen to Creep. It's the next song on the album and the segue into it is beautifully done.
This is the song of my life 😪 Love me some Luther
😂😂😂 You my dawg Jack! You remind me of a friend from a long time ago. So much like him. Love seeing your reactions. Keep doing ya thing.
Excellent reaction!!!
Damn, Luther! THANK YOU!
If you want to get another vibe of Luther, listen to "Never Too Much" and "Bad Boy"....trust me....Luther was an amazing talent, to say the least!!
"LET ME HOLD YOU TIGHT
IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT
LET ME KEEP YOU NEAR" 👊🏾 🤎
You have to do his live version of house is not a home, he had the audience full of stars captivated by his performance.
You seriously gotta do Love TKO by Teddy Pendergrass and My, My, My by Johnny Gill
This is one of my fav songs of Luther's, it's a pure classic. Next time react to his song "Superstar" you will LOVE it if you love this one. That is another famous classic of his
