I heard this story a few years back. Luther Vandross did his best to put this event in his life behind him. Stories about this accident are still sketchy to this day. May the involved parties be at peace.
And there is a reason why it is sketchy as it always is with these entertainers in the industry who have sold their souls for fame and fortune. Those same ones who the industry view to be worth more dead than alive. #MichaelJackson among many others🤷🏿♀️
@@cd3881 I agree. I was wondering if the deceased brother was a sacrifice for Jimmie that Jimmie chose OR was Luther acting on Jimmie's behalf? We will never know & I doubt that Jimmie has ever said. By this late in the game (since 2020) most people are aware of how that music industry works & that it DEMANDS bid sacrifices..."blood in AND out". Luther was not just altruistic & helping Jimmie get a record deal for nothing. Bringing new talent is is how HOLLYWEIRD runs as they constantly need new influx into the game. Luther was leveraging himself & bringing in talent that he was developing & that helped to get him higher up in the industry. That made him more powerful but comes with a price. Jimmie's brother Larry was the one who ultimately paid the debt to settle the account.That is a damned slap in the face & an oops up side to head that ALL Luther got was a GROSSLY RDEUCED charge of misdemeanor & a freaking $2000 fine...like WTF? I have heard how Luther has made his sacrifices over his career, but that stroke was the beginning of the end for him. Once these stars are not as profitable as they on her were them the industry drops them. Luci is gonna get his too.
SKETCHY my behind call it what it is he had that young man killed and sacrificed so he can move up in that industry fast forward to today they're still doing it there's nothing new Under the Sun
I remember when all of this happened and the stories that swirled around about Luther’s infatuation with Larry and Jimmy as well, even though he was a teen. However, he did get off pretty good because it was manslaughter. Even though Jimmy has grown to be an exceptional singer, but while he was competing on star search, his singing wasn’t as good as Luther was trying to say it was. I remember watching him, but kept thinking he is not as good as the other competitors. This is when I started wondering if Luther liked him for other reasons, but after finding out that his brother was his manager and close to Luther, I kind of suspected something was up. So sorry he lost his life because of reckless driving.
My sentiment exactly, Jimmy's voice was extremely underdeveloped at that time and he was certainly the weakest link on the show. His voice has profoundly progressed over the years. Luther just did his significant other Larry a favor by getting his brother signed, he knew that his voice was not of the greatest quality.
This was not a satanic sacrifice. Luther wasn't a part of that club. He hit slick pavement and lost control. Laurel Canyon is a very busy and windy road. Luther was not exactly an experienced driver. He grew up in NY and was still new to LA and the driving scene. Very tragic accident. If you don't grow up driving and being taught how to drive in different conditions, you are a potential road hazard.
You're talking about THEE Luther Vandross?...honey you can't become a household name unless you're IN the club. Stop it, we all know you have to give to get!
I used to watch "STAR SEARCH" with my grandmother back in the '80s. From Tracey Ross to Bobbi Brown, I clearly remember Luther Vandross and so did my mother. She was a major fan of his. I had missed this scandal. Next to this one, Vince Neil from Motley Crue was behind the wheel drunk and his best friend, Razzle from the glam metal band, HANOI ROCKS was killed. Vince was charged with manslaughter but didn't do any time just community service.
Ti, you did an awesome job as usual covering this "horrific," car accident that involved entertainer, Luther Vandross. I remember when this happened, it was very shocking and all over the news, television, radio, newspapers and magazines, too. Also, I remember hearing if Luther was to be interviewed you couldn't ask him about the car accident in which one of his passengers was killed, period! Great investigating, presentation, backstory information and photos, too. Hugs to Indy. Have a fantastic day. Take care 💞
Everyone always speculated about Luther Vandross sexuality, but pretty much, everyone kind of knew he was gay. I'll never forget the private interview that Oprah Winfrey had done with Luther Vandross, he was in a wheelchair, and died a short time after that. Patti LaBelle and Luther were best friends, so as a surprise, Oprah called Ms. LaBelle on to the set to surprise him, Ms.Patti looked at him and said: LOOK AT YOU... LOOKING LIKE A DIVA 😳 They tried to play it off but it was too late. I don't know if you can still pull it up or not, but I was watching, and I'll never forget it.
This happened to a friend of mine, where he was in an accident due to construction on the road and his best friend died. The family didn't want to press charges but, the state did and he served a year in minimal security prison In SC.
How sad. my cousin was cheating on his wife. He picked up his side chick on his work break. he got into a car accident and killed her, he did 8years in jail. So tragic.
@@joshuamcdowell9745 yeah, it's a lot to the story. The math ain't mathing! He was left handed and shot himself with the right. It's also rumored that C murder was the first on the scene before the police arrived. I don't know if it's facts. But I do know Monica be lying! And somethings just don't be adding up. And don't get me wrong, I love me some Monica but that doesn't stop me from using my critical thinking skills.
He was driving 20 miles over the speed limit and crossed the center divide into oncoming traffic.....how can he be found not at fault for the accident and the death of passenger? I love Luther to death but was justice really served here?
@@powerbadpowerbad Luther never did drugs nor drank. According to many many who knew him and himself. He took a route he wasn't familiar with and the accident happen. All accidents don't happen cause you under influence.
One of Luther's background singers and solo artist...Lisa Fischer said .. Luther was such a perfectionist and loved REAL SINGERS... what was talented about this young man😳😳⁉️
Let me say this 1st: I DONT GIVE A DAYUM THAT HE WAS GAY!!!!! I LOVED THE MANS VOICE!!!! There's never be nor will there ever be another LUTHER R. VANDROSS!!!! HE'LL FOREVER BE MY FAVORITE ARTIST OF ALL TIME!!!!💖💛💖💛💖💛💖
I always thought Luther had a thing with Larry. Jimmy isn't really a standout as a singer and I don't think the connection came from Luther seeing Jimmy perform. Luther had way more exceptional talent as his back up singers to be interested in anything Jimmy had to offer. Maybe the connection came from Luther knowing Larry before knowing Jimmy and then agreeing to produce an album as a favor for Larry who was also Jimmy's manager.
How weld is this because I'm just learning about this story recently as of two weeks ago towards another podcaster and this video right here verifies it all🕛
Interesting. I came across the story looking through a 1986 issue of JET. What is the podcast where you heard this story? I might need to listen for video topics.
There are a lot of stories that get covered up or swept under the rug. Do you remember when tennis star Venus Williams killed a man in a car accident? The same thing happened. The story received attention at first but soon faded. I don't know what was worked out, but Venus didn't do any time in jail or prison.
💫 Countess Vaughn won on Star Search like 5 weeks straight without losing. She was a powerhouse talent with a rich, mature voice. 😕 In regards to Luther and Lawrence’s death, was it really an accident? 🤔 Like, why would he cross over while sober. I can’t help but to wonder if was a “sacrificial hit” for fame. It seems to me that all these celebrities go through some sort of tragedy before blowing up. 😒
@@ericmorris5912 He was well known in R&B, but I don’t know if he was an all around, crossover superstar. I’m not sure exactly how big his fan base was because I was just a little kid. What I’m saying is that I hear of these kinds of “accidents or deaths” all the time in almost everyone’s career. The details just seem really sketchy.
@@CodyCole80 ahhhh ok. Got it. But I still feel he didn’t get that cross over exposure. I just saw a video on here where he said he was more famous than the kid in his math class, but less famous than Michael Jackson. I know that’s in terms of superstardom. But his main core audience were black females. I wasn’t born during that time until late 80’s and my mom used to listen to him every….day hahaha. But this is opening my mind to the possibility that you mentioned
@@ericmorris5912 Yeah, be wasn’t a superstar like Mike of course, but I know he had fans of every nationality, even though his core audience was Black.
It would be amazing. Netflix should do it. And show all of his struggles with the industry, sexual orientation (back then being gay had to be kept secret ala George Michael) and his diabetes/weight problem(s).
It won't be truthful and give us what we really want. A Luther biopic will be sugarcoated and watered-down just like Respect with Jennifer Hudson. If we want the real story, someone who isn't family or had any connection to Luther would have to get behind it.
I know I'm not the only one here sees the similarities to the Teddy Pendergrass accident. Everyone had a negative thought about Luther VanDross but at the end of the day he was BAAADDD
@@rosemaryrogers1478 It’s not optional. They ALL are required to take oaths and make sacrifices for fame and fortune. Jesuit Order. Hollywood and the upper echelons. Chaka Khan CNN Quote: “They sacrifice lives at the drop of a dime.”
Sarah Palin does that aerial hunting of wolves. She shoots them from a chopper with a high powered rifle. They run the animals to exhaustion and then blow them away. Some "sport," huh? Does not surprise me.
If there is dirt to be found then Ti WILL find it....eye only have 1 request....can you start to research the folks who MATTER ? Like Politicians??? That would be so very helpful to humanity
Hey, Sippinthemontea2045. Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! I get these little-known scandal videos out every week and I live stream here and there. I try to post everything that's going to happen with this channel on my Community Tab. I hope that you continue to enjoy it here!
I tend to think that Luther Vandross was a prophet because he had an uncanny insight on love. And the Bible informs us that God is Love, therefore, Luther Vandross knew God. It seems to me that song at 2:59: “Because It’s Really Love,” may have contained a prophetic message pointing to Jimmy’s loss of his brother. I understand the sensitive nature of the lyrics and how they coincide with Jimmy’s loss, which is ironic. The truth is that no one leaves this earth without God’s knowledge and God may deliver foreknowledge of a person’s early departure from this planet to a prophet. That’s just something to keep in mind.

Yes, I loved Star Search as a kid but I did not know about the car accident. Wow…I learn so much from this channel. You’re doing a great job ❤
I never heard about this accident until just now. How Sad!!

He absolutely did. The way he did it stunned everyone and I'm sure they had their suspicions.
@CeeEra He was definitely singing about Larry, they were dating from what I have been told.
Yep, I think Luther and Larry had a thing going on.
My sentiment exactly, Jimmy's voice was extremely underdeveloped at that time and he was certainly the weakest link on the show. His voice has profoundly progressed over the years. Luther just did his significant other Larry a favor by getting his brother signed, he knew that his voice was not of the greatest quality.
Countess Vaughn was one of the best Star Search contestants ever
Yeah Beyonce was on thier also with Kelly and someone else, she didn't win either. But they came close...
Undoubtedly.
Yessssssssss
Indeed she was.
I remember this. Luther had an alleged preference for Italian men, so he was probably not just interested in Jimmy's singing ability.
That would make him a child molester the boy was 14 years old when he signed him 💯
Hmmmmmm
No. 💀
That was my thought as well Monila.
That's exactly what I said when I first tuned in to watch this. Luther wanted him as a lover way more than discovering him for singing!
This was not a satanic sacrifice. Luther wasn't a part of that club. He hit slick pavement and lost control. Laurel Canyon is a very busy and windy road. Luther was not exactly an experienced driver.

@@hotties3v3n I concur sadly
If that person was DUI they should be charged and sentenced to prison. But what if they weren't drunk and it was just a horrible accident?
Luther didn't drink or do drugs

Gurl, you forgot "The Kid" my favorite singer Rahsaan Patterson! He was on Star Search!
I found out about this after reading a Luther Vandross biography.
My favorite Star Search contestant was Shanice. She won actually.
Lawrence (Larry) was more than just Jimmy's manager; allegedly, a producer friend of mine told me that Larry and Luther were dating at the time.
That was my thought when I heard the family didn't sue or blame him: he likely lost his partner in this, too.

Sarah Palin does that aerial hunting of wolves. She shoots them from a chopper with a high powered rifle. They run the animals to exhaustion and then blow them away. Some "sport," huh? Does not surprise me.

I tend to think that Luther Vandross was a prophet because he had an uncanny insight on love. And the Bible informs us that God is Love, therefore, Luther Vandross knew God. It seems to me that song at 2:59: “Because It’s Really Love,” may have contained a prophetic message pointing to Jimmy’s loss of his brother. I understand the sensitive nature of the lyrics and how they coincide with Jimmy’s loss, which is ironic. The truth is that no one leaves this earth without God’s knowledge and God may deliver foreknowledge of a person’s early departure from this planet to a prophet. That’s just something to keep in mind.
