I saw an interview with him and Mr. Vandross was quite the perfectionist in multiple areas of his life. The thoughtfulness he put into so many things was crystal clear. Musically he is bar none!! 🎼 🎤 🎶 #GoneTooSoon R🖤🎤P
LTD "Love Ballad" might be a great follow-up song to this one, because it's just as romantic as this song is,the vocals from Jeffery Osborne are top notch as well!
@@RTDavis0503 I can definitely hear a mix of both. The only difference I can easily spot with Phyllis is her ability to enunciate all of her words. Toni kind of rode with Anitas blending of words
NOBODY'S voice is/was smoother than that of Luther Vandross. I'm a big Margin Gaye fan, but Luther is by favorite. The things he could do with his voice were amazing. 🗣🎶
Anytime I hear this song, I automatically think of the movie “The Wood”. 🤣 Beautiful song. Luther also did a remake of this with Beyoncé on her debut album “Dangerously In Love”.
He didn’t do a remake of this song with Beyoncé, but the song he did remake with her for her Dangerously In Love album is called The Closer I Get To You which was originally written and sung by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack In 1977. The two songs do sound pretty similar, though.
On every album Luther would do at least one remake of a song. Luther would give these remakes the full treatment (I used to say he “Lutherized” the song. Usually from that point forward the song was his. People usually don’t even remember the earlier version. I loved Luther. Saw him live 3 times!
I give you the flowers the birds and the bees love that line but u should react to the original by the late marvin Gaye and the late tami Terrell if you don't know who tammi Terrell she is best known singing with marvin Gaye she died in March 1970 after removing a tumor from her brain.
Ok Jack come through with the old school! Since you like falsettos, check out Switch They’ll Never Be. You’ll love the production, horns and their voices. 🥰
I still get chills whenever I hear this song! A forever classic. Can you imagine being in love like this! We should all have a love like the one portrayed in these lyrics. Luther’s song lyrics & vocals are ALWAYS top notch! *chef’s kiss*.
Driving home in the rain tonight, perfect weather for Luther Vandross &Martha Wash “I Who Have Nothing”7:27 minutes of old school bliss, check it out! Missed you ❤️ glad you’re back
This is a cover of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrells Tamla/Motown duet. From their duet album titled "United" the original song was written and arranged 100% by Marvin Gaye. If it wasn't already mentioned.
I must say Im loooovving ur reactions to everything from Selena to Luther....I love to see some1 simply just appreciating music....It def puts a smile on my face...You Go Boy!!(In my Gina voice!) Lol #keepuptheawesomejob
When they pluck a stringed instrument like a violin or cello, it’s called “pizzicato”. You should check out his cover of I Who Have Nothing, I think with Martha Wash.
That was a good catch on how the strings changed. The many times that I have listened to this song, I never caught that before. I will hear it from now on.
I scrolled down to make sure someone else commented this very thing before I did!! Legato - that’s the opposite of staccato, fluid continuous connection between notes vs detached, separated notes. I’m so happy I learned this! The internet is useful at times, LOL
Oh this was the song!!! Thanks for reviewing this 1. It was one my Dad's favorites. He and I listening to this together will always be a cherished memory ❤🙏🏽
NOWWWW we talkin! What yall young bucks know about sitting on your steps with your ol'head friends blasting this drinking beer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMG the memories (im tearing up)
Jack your cool brother man like the fact that your young and you genuinely enjoy good music!! Loved the video bro put a smile on my face..By the way Marvin wrote and sang this first with Tami Terell and has his own solo version..Bless King👊🏿
Jack! I love that you love R&B music and especially the old classics! I love your videos man! You should watch them sing this LIVE on Soul Train! Sounds exactly the same but you can definitely see they’re singing live. Also, you should watch the the YT video that went viral this last Summer. This guy was singing the song in a grocery store and walks up to a random woman and she starts singing THIS SONG with him!!!! Mannnn, it was too good! Look up “If this world were mine - Live on the Fly”.
To me, there was nothing close to Luther Vandross's vocal prowess. Tonally unique! Also (and even more striking), he was even better in person. In the 80's, I was absolutely floored when I saw him and DeBarge in person at the Westbury Music Fair in Long Island, NY. When he left this earth, he arguably took the most unique vocal instrument with him. One of the greatest vocalist of any genre that ever lived. Bar None!
Omg one of my favs! I’m pretty sure this version is also a remake. If you loved this, please give a listen to “Fire And Desire “ by Rick James and Teena Marie
Yes it’s a cover...but a damn good one, huh? Lol u can’t go wrong with Luther! But Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell recorded the original and it’s beautiful too! It’s just a beautifully written song by Ashford & Simpson! 💙🙂
This song was first done by Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell. When you have a chance check it out by them. I was a teenager when Marvin and Tammy did it. It was good slow drag music. Oh yea! The Flower 🌹
I'm am very blessed to say I have seen a Luther Vandross concert in person. One of the best performances I've ever had the pleasure to witness. The other would be Kirk Franklin
Jack, please please check out Luther Vandross Live at Wembley on TH-cam. It's one thing to react to Luther's recordings but another whole level to see him perform it at a live concert. This will blow your mind.
Jack i love the reactions and the positivity. Luther was is always will be perfect. I remember hearing this for the first time an it gave me chills how beautifully perfect the two of them sang this an its a remake done better imo and I love marvin gaye as an allround artist. Cheryl Lynn was phenomenal Luther is deity. Truly gifted from the gods. He will live on as long as there is music
Eventhough, I heard and listened to this version of the song when it was originally released, it reminds me of 'The Wood', too. Then again, 'The Wood' makes me reminisce about my childhood and listening to this song.
I didn’t even remember this song was in The Wood, tbh! I think of the four singers (2 versions) who recorded it when I hear this song. I just love the song! 💙😊
I think Luther, Marvin, and Smokey are in a three-way tie for the smoovest voices ever. Please react to "Something" by Snarky Puppy with Lalah Hathaway.
Jack, you are too awesome! Your appreciation for these classics is refreshing. I’ve watched several of your videos and you “feel” these songs. Great commentary too.
This was an incredible collaboration and an excellent reaction. I really enjoy your insight and the way that you convey how the music moves you. Great choice and great job young man!
Yes i give his teddy pendegrass praises because you have heard his music we all know what Luther can do. But you haven't heard ms. Cheryl Lynn sang not just sing. Her vocal ranges is ridiculous her music is timeless you need to check her out. Cheryl doesn't get her praises like she should especially as a vocalist
Men just don't sing of love like this anymore! They don't show vulnerability! What happened? All I hear now is men talking about how much money they supposedly have, how many guns he has, who he shot and btchs and whrs! Boring! Do they even love anymore? We ladies are missing love songs from our men!
There are plenty of beautiful women (inside & out) around that deserve to be sung to with love and respect! Some men (not all) love to use females as an excuse. I’m just love my generation of men still love romance!
Ok now you have to do Teddy pendergrass & Stephanie mills "Two Hearts" it's only right to be blown away with this song is timeless and iconic by these 2 legends.
Marvin Gaye wrote this song for his boo Tammi. Luther came through and made it his own. That’s saying a lot because he’s a feature. This is Cheryl’s cover.
Anything of Luther Vandross is FLAWLESS and PERFECT
I saw an interview with him and Mr. Vandross was quite the perfectionist in multiple areas of his life. The thoughtfulness he put into so many things was crystal clear. Musically he is bar none!! 🎼 🎤 🎶 #GoneTooSoon R🖤🎤P
Luther makes singing EFFORTLESS
Luther - stop to love
Luther ft Gregory Hines- There's nothing better than love🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jack, it was written by Marvin Gaye, originally song by him and Tammi Terrell.
Wow! I didn't know that!
The original was great, especially for its time. I like Luther and Cheryl's version better. The vocals are more layered and there is more depth.
Ok, I’m older and didn’t know that. Fun fact to learn. Thanks for sharing!
Yess!!!! Grown folks music!!!🥰🤩❤️
YUP ! EXACTLY 😁👍
Luther & Cheryl straight fire!!! 🔥 🔥🔥🔥
If This World Was Mine!!
LTD "Love Ballad" might be a great follow-up song to this one, because it's just as romantic as this song is,the vocals from Jeffery Osborne are top notch as well!
I requested this a couple of days ago!
YES!!!
Love Ballad my favorite 😍 please!
Yessssss!! "Love Ballad" was definitely one of my wedding songs
Pretty much anything by LTD
Jack loves the ladies with the deep voices. I highly recommend Phyllis Hymans "Living All Alone" Vocal beast and GORGEOUS lady
And Angela Bofill!
I always thought Toni Braxton was influenced more by Phyllis Hyman than Anita Baker. She tries to sound like Phyllis to me. Don't you think?
@@RTDavis0503 I can definitely hear a mix of both. The only difference I can easily spot with Phyllis is her ability to enunciate all of her words. Toni kind of rode with Anitas blending of words
@@tyshiaadams2339 good point. The don't move your lips style lol
Phyllis was a model before she became a singer. Strikingly beautiful.
Jack, Fire and Desire by Rick James and Teena Marie is a must and a classic.
FACTS!
Fire & Desire is a must.
He did it recently. Check the channel, it was great.
You can't go wrong with Luther. This is by far one of his best masterpieces. 💗🎵💗
NOBODY'S voice is/was smoother than that of Luther Vandross. I'm a big Margin Gaye fan, but Luther is by favorite. The things he could do with his voice were amazing. 🗣🎶
Anytime I hear this song, I automatically think of the movie “The Wood”. 🤣 Beautiful song. Luther also did a remake of this with Beyoncé on her debut album “Dangerously In Love”.
But he got to do the version on Luthers Album! Longer introduction and ending. Sets the mood better. ❤ And BTW Dangerously in Love album is a gem
He didn’t do a remake of this song with Beyoncé, but the song he did remake with her for her Dangerously In Love album is called The Closer I Get To You which was originally written and sung by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack In 1977. The two songs do sound pretty similar, though.
The original is The Best IMO with Marvin Gaye . I love the remake though. ❤️❤️
💯💯💯💯
@@alicemiriah The closer i get to you was for Luther's album, Dance with my father.
You’re gonna pull a whole nother type of girl with all this musical knowledge/appreciation.
Kudos to you!
Me
On every album Luther would do at least one remake of a song. Luther would give these remakes the full treatment (I used to say he “Lutherized” the song. Usually from that point forward the song was his. People usually don’t even remember the earlier version. I loved Luther. Saw him live 3 times!
Nope they don’t make music like this anymore. Those were the days of the love ballads.
Baby making music👏🏽👏🏽
Yes. Yes. Yes. This would be my dream wedding song. It’s incredible. Also, check out “The Wood” if you haven’t already. This song is special.
The wood is one of my favorite movies yess
Yes! This song will always make me think of The Wood. "Remember those school dances!"
“This is how we do it in North Ca’Lina!”
“Get yourself a dance!”
Luther takes it. Voice is smooth and rich. I haven’t heard any other voice like his
I love how jack uploading everyday like he used tooo yaayy 🥺🥺
I give you the flowers the birds and the bees love that line but u should react to the original by the late marvin Gaye and the late tami Terrell if you don't know who tammi Terrell she is best known singing with marvin Gaye she died in March 1970 after removing a tumor from her brain.
Marvin and Tami version is a classic. I love both though.
@@knata78 yes may they both rest in peace
Ok Jack come through with the old school! Since you like falsettos, check out Switch They’ll Never Be. You’ll love the production, horns and their voices. 🥰
Regina Bell - Baby come to me 😢🔥🔥
Yesssssssssss!!!!!
Definitely!!!
Triple yessss!!!!!
I still get chills whenever I hear this song! A forever classic. Can you imagine being in love like this! We should all have a love like the one portrayed in these lyrics. Luther’s song lyrics & vocals are ALWAYS top notch! *chef’s kiss*.
Flawless and timeless. Luther helped women make babies.
Driving home in the rain tonight, perfect weather for Luther Vandross &Martha Wash “I Who Have Nothing”7:27 minutes of old school bliss, check it out! Missed you ❤️ glad you’re back
Perfect! Everything about this song is perfect. 👋🏿😌
Try Cheryl Lynn song “got to be real “ really shows off her amazing vocals.
Thanks
Lenny Williams- Cause I Love You
Luther Vandross- Superstar

You should check out his cover of I Who Have Nothing, I think with Martha Wash.
You must listen to "Amazing" by Luther; he sang it for his Niece at her Wedding. Also, listen to "Dance With My Father" it was his last recording.
That was a good catch on how the strings changed. The many times that I have listened to this song, I never caught that before. I will hear it from now on.
I scrolled down to make sure someone else commented this very thing before I did!! Legato - that’s the opposite of staccato, fluid continuous connection between notes vs detached, separated notes. I’m so happy I learned this! The internet is useful at times, LOL
🔥🔥🔥🔥 one of my favorite song Luther Vandross sung
Luther is the BEST!!! I've really only discovered the wonder of him in recent years. He is flawless!!!
This song is Butter!!!
Love Won't Let Me Wait by Luther. that's one baby makin' music Jack! :D
Hi Jack. Legendary King and Queen. Beautiful song. Can't no one touch Luther!
Cheryl and Luther were heavenly together ❤ 😍
Luther is amazing. Check out his duet with Martha Wash 'I Who Have Nothing' it's next level good ❤
Oh this was the song!!! Thanks for reviewing this 1. It was one my Dad's favorites. He and I listening to this together will always be a cherished memory ❤🙏🏽
Thank God for memories!🙏🏾❤️
If you like this one by Luther, you will enjoy " Make Me A Believer".
NOWWWW we talkin! What yall young bucks know about sitting on your steps with your ol'head friends blasting this drinking beer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMG the memories (im tearing up)
Jack your cool brother man like the fact that your young and you genuinely enjoy good music!! Loved the video bro put a smile on my face..By the way Marvin wrote and sang this first with Tami Terell and has his own solo version..Bless King👊🏿
This was our first dance song at our wedding reception 24 years ago.❤️
Alot kids were born to this son man

Please review his song "So Amazing". Talk about chills and goose bumps! This is it.
Hi Jack! Please react to another fire duo by Luther & Gergory Hines, "There's nothing better than love."👍
To me, there was nothing close to Luther Vandross's vocal prowess. Tonally unique! Also (and even more striking), he was even better in person. In the 80's, I was absolutely floored when I saw him and DeBarge in person at the Westbury Music Fair in Long Island, NY. When he left this earth, he arguably took the most unique vocal instrument with him. One of the greatest vocalist of any genre that ever lived. Bar None!
A beautiful song, classic R&B. A vocally gifted duo for damn sure. I adore this song.
These are the kinds of songs we used to listen to in the car on the way to school. Set the whole day off.
YOU A GOAT FOR REACTING TO THIS MY GUY 💯💪🏽
My all time favorite!!!
I always remember The Wood movie with Mike dancing
My fave male singers are Luther,Marvin, maxwell, and Avery Wilson period
My jam from when I was a kid...I'm so glad I'm Gen X.
Omg one of my favs! I’m pretty sure this version is also a remake. If you loved this, please give a listen to “Fire And Desire “ by Rick James and Teena Marie
Yes fire and desire! Another wonderful duet
Yes it’s a cover...but a damn good one, huh? Lol u can’t go wrong with Luther! But Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell recorded the original and it’s beautiful too! It’s just a beautifully written song by Ashford & Simpson! 💙🙂

You should react to Luther Vandross and Beyonce, The closer I get to you! You’ll love it!
Check out Cheryl Lynn's "Daybreak" it's unbelievable. Her voice is truly a gift.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. If you haven’t seen the movie The Wood, check it out, you’ll love it.
this song was done by Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell.
Based on your reaction to the first bar, I knew your romantic behind was going to be dun fer. ☺️
