Designated the "heartbeat" of R&B during the 1980s and 1990s, Luther Vandross led a productive singing and songwriting life before to this preeminence. The soul balladeer's strong commitment to the art of music continued on its Grammy-winning course, even after an acute stroke in 2003 left him severely incapacitated and unable to continue public appearances.
Luther Ronzoni Vandross, Jr. was born in Manhattan, New York on April 20, 1951, the baby of four children. His father, also named Luther, was an upholsterer who died of diabetes when the singer was just eight years old. Despite this sadness, his mother, a practical nurse, made sure that music was prevalent in the Vandross household, particularly gospel, soul and doo-wop. Luther was influenced by his older sister Patricia, who became a member of a doo-wop group called The Crests, and scored with the 1958 single "Sixteen Candles".
In the 1970s, while still working his way up, Luther voiced commercial jingles (Kentucky Fried Chicken) and provided backup vocals on tour and in session work for such notables as David Bowie, Chaka Khan, Barbra Streisand, Carly Simon, Bette Midler and Donna Summer.
At age 30, he finally recorded his first solo album with the No. 1 R&B and "Top 20" pop chartmaker, "Never Too Much". He continued steadily with such albums as "Forever, for Always, for Love" (1982) and "Give Me the Reasons" (1986), but it wasn't until 1989 that he had his first "Top 10" single with "Here and Now" (No. 6), which finally placed him securely on the love song pedestal. Such other No. 1 R&B singles would include "Stop to Love", "There's Nothing Better than Love" and "Any Love".
A minimalist stylist whose eloquent, velvety renditions were accentuated by spot-on phrasing and effortless vocal control, his image quickly led to such unwelcome sobriquets as "master of bedroom music" and the restrictive label of being a "ladies only" act.
The 1990s seemed, career-wise, stronger than ever again with a Top 40 hit dueting with Mariah Carey on "Endless Love" (1994) and the release of his No. 1 R&B signature version of "Always and Forever" (1994).
On camera, film and television acting appearances include a cameo in Robert Townsend's film The Meteor Man (1993) and episodes of "Beverly Hills: 90210" (as himself) and "Touched by An Angel". A documentary, Luther Vandross: Always and Forever (1994), is also available. Through his career, Luther continued to write and produce for other artists including Whitney Houston, Dionne Warwick, Teddy Pendergrass, Cheryl Lynn and Aretha Franklin. Following his massive April 2003 stroke, he made a phantom return to the spotlight with the release of his CD "Dance With My Father" (2003), which was recorded before his illness. At the awards show, the absent Luther was rewarded with four Grammy Awards, including song of the year. The success also gave him his first No. 1 album on the pop chart and four NAACP Image Awards.
The beloved 54-year-old musician died of a heart attack on July 1, 2005 at the JFK Medical Center in Edision, New Jersey, and was survived by his Evangelist mother, Mary Ida Vandross, who was instrumental in promoting her son's last work to Grammy glory following his severe debilitation.
Vandross died on July 1, 2005, at the JFK Medical Center in Edison, New Jersey, at the age of 54 due to a heart attack.
Vandross's funeral was held at Riverside Church in New York City on July 8, 2005. Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle, Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick and Cissy Houston were among the speakers and singers at the service. Vandross was entombed at the George Washington Memorial Park in Paramus, New Jersey. His mother, Mary Ida Vandross, died in 2008. - บันเทิง

I still can't believe we're in a Luther-less world..
We can still play his music,
and teach our children and grandchildren about him.
So,he will definitely live on
forever in our hearts.
I know Right…. He definitely gave us good music 🎶
IKR 😢
Exactly 😭
You don't understand immortality
Whitney Houston often spoke of his brilliance as a vocalist-now that's the greatest compliment coming from her
She too has a very plain grave along with Bobby Kristina. I guess I expect these singing stars to have lavish crypts to suit their lifestyle .
He was out before Whitney and he was older than her.
Luther was the BIGGEST fan of Whitney's cousin Dionne Warwick and he was also very close to Whitney's mother Cissy Houston who sang background vocals on Luther's albums for years, and she even sang on his last album. They were all near and dear to one another!
It's cool that Luther Vandross is resting below Marvin Isley who played bass and was a member of the Isley Brothers
Luther Vandross was the best singer ever . He is greatly missed
Next to Mahalia Jackson
and behind Sam Cooke
His voice was like a warm cup of cocoa that went straight to your soul. Bless you Luther the world misses you
I love how you describe his voice, "like a cup of cocoa".
@@deescott3856 He was absolute class wasn’t he
@@pablodebiddlybo3771 yes he was 😢
Amen ❤
Luther vandress.was.one.of.the..greastest.of all .times.nobody.sings.a love.song.like.luther..sip.voice.like.luther.comes.once.in.evrey500years
Man, I loved his voice. So smooth and he could sing anything. RIP Luther
Such a great singer. Beautiful video ✌️
He was mean 2 fans
I had the great pleasure of seeing Luther Vandross 5 times in concert. I'll cherish those memories
Me too. I saw luther in concert 3 times. And i too will forever cherish those memories.
You can't even write his name! 😆 🤭 🥴
@@BEEyonced and I guess your monkey version of BEEyonce name is just fine
Don't guess to much if you can't even separate Unique Avatar Nicks from Artist Names! 😏 @1Whatever
But well 'Kool Beanz' correcting now for honory respect... so my post was not in vain!
@@BEEyonced too much. Poor grammar
Thank you for doing this Scott. I LOVED Luther He's sorely missed
Luther MJ
Can't believe that that man is resting in such a lonely place we loved you Luther .. thank you Scott
I have always wondered why they chose such a lonely place
@@normasarsby1350 where should he be resting, in Times Square? It is after all a cemetery
AFTER ALL HES GONE HE COULDNT TAKE ALL HIS RICHNESS HES MANSION OR ALL HES GOLD HIS JEWELRY OR CAR WITH HIM.BUT HE COULD TAKE ONLY HIS VOICE WITH HIM .MAY HE REST IN PEACE.
He chose it.
He was a lonely person.
I almost always listen to his song 'Dance With My Father,' whenever I am missing my own father.
Me too wow !!
Love that song
Me too especially on the passing of my dad on 3/ 29/ 98 it was 25 years this year I miss you Dad so much 🌹
@@alicewalker838 I'm very sorry.
Same. One of my favorites when I'm missing my own dad.
Thank you Scott, Luther Vandross was one of my favorite singer. They don't make music like that anymore.
I listen to Mr.Vandross, every Sunday and it's cleaning day, gets me through the day, ,rest on,
Lots don't know he did "Searching" By Change in the 80's. great track! Us Djs loved it! Played it.....
Quick Fact: Luther was originally buried in the ground. When his mother died, Luther’s remains were moved from his grave and interred in the mausoleum. Both Luther’s father and mother were interred in his old grave to allow his parents to be buried together. I think his father was buried in Philly many years ago when he passed away.
Also you may notice the name Marvin Isley two spots above Luther. That is a member of the Isley Brothers.
His middle name was Ronzoni because his mother saw the pasta box and said she really liked that name for him. May he rest in peace, what a classic beautiful voice he had!
P.S. Marvin Isley is buried a couple of spots above Luther V.
She couldn't eat nothing else when she was pregnant with Luther . That was the only thing she could hold down with Luther.
@@elizabethf.mcdonald7000 I read the interview where she said that, lol. She is buried in the same cemetery, albeit, in the ground.
I said that was one of the Isley's, WOW miss them both.
I Love ❤and miss luther dearly,I'm a Lifetime Fan 🎉
Luthers mother outlived all 4 of her kids, so sad
If true that is sad.
Cissy Houston got to bury her granddaughter and daughter. Bobby Brown hot to bury his daughter and son
@@eugenehamby7167 When she got to him she said: Please don't take him he's all l have !!!!
It breaks my heart every time I think about it 😢
@@vernamorales2326 WOW that's interesting Luther Vandross was one of my favorite singers the man could sing I was out here on the West Coast and I went to see my mother and family on the East Coast in Boston and I was watching CNN when they announced his death on TV.
Shocked that he is buried there , no headstone no flowers , he deserves better than that , he’s a legend
I agree and surprised that it's not mentioned in a lot of the comments. This man filled my heart with alot of his lyrics in his songs❤. He deserved a monument of his own. R.I.H🙏🏻
YES I AGREE WITH YOU 😢😢😢
I think his remains are in a masuleum
Oh Scott if I could not love 💕 any more. I 😘 love Luther Vandross . Here and Now I promise to love faithfully 🎵🎶🎵
It’s very sad in the clip of him saying he,ll still be singing at 80 :0( I was expecting a better grave ,was too high up & nowhere to put flowers.
I absolutely adored this man....God Bless Him! 🙏😢🎤🎶 He Was Simply "So Amazing"
A VOICE YOU WOULD NEVER FORGET ❤
He sign for God now, with a choir of angels! RIP TO THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN VOICE!
If Luther was still with us he still would be on top of the music charts
I miss Luther may he continue to rest in peace. This man know he could sang
Scott he sang with his whole heart,..RIP Luther Vandross,RIP🙏🙏🙏
You would think the family would have done something other than generic for such a wonderful man 😢
It may be what he wanted . Some stars want a humble grave
@SCOTT ON TAPE - Your Pop Culture Tour Guide I don't believe this is what he wanted at all. I wouldn't even want this for myself. I want to burried surrounded by family. I think it is really dope when you go to the cemetery and you see an entire family all together in a nice area. I read all of the headstones when they born and when they died and I just think it's amazing that they took the time and care to do that ❤
Luther vandross is a beautiful treasure and he will be missed RIP
One of the wonders of the world. He was simply awesome ❤
Watching from uk 🇬🇧 thanks
I guess that’s why they say death is the great equalizer. No matter how rich or famous, we will all end up the same in the end. I’ve always loved Luther’s music. One of the best of all time.
We do but we don't especially when some legacies are greater than others and live on for many years.
Definitely true, Death Is The Great Equalizer...
Luther Vandross had an amazing voice. May he rest in peace.
Yes he has such a recognizable voice it's sad that he's gone but his music will live on
I listen to Luther regularly.
Such a distinct smooth voice.
He had a gift.
Also the most beautiful eyes!
He'll never be forgotten ❤
Oh my gosh. He's got one of those voices that you instantly fall in love with. He's one of my favorite singers. His music was his gift to the world, and I'm so glad he came along in my lifetime. Imagine what a chorus of singer's we're going to eternally get to listen to in heaven! It would add a lot of beauty to the mausoleum area if the cemetery would add flowers to the center section. Maybe they do that later in the warmer weather. I absolutely love this video Scott!! Thank you and happy Easter!! 🐇
There's a famous musician two spaces above him. Marvin Isley, brother of Ron and Ernie Isley, and bassist of legendary R&B band The Isley Brothers.
One of the legends...Rest in Peace Mr. Vandross... Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you for watching Thomas !!
I got the same feeling before you even said a word… Hard to believe such an amazing person with one of the worlds greatest voices well know all over the world is encased in that mausoleum in a quiet , cold , but yet beautiful grave yard.
Rip Luther vandrosss we will miss you 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️ never too much🎶🎶🎶🎶
Let's celebrate his life while he lived, and also appreciate all the memorable songs he left the world. Every time I hear his voice he comes alive spiritually. His voice lives on!
Not only did I see him in concert several times, but my friend won tickets to meet him!! Her husband let me go knowing how much I loved him. He was so real & his voice is one of a kind. Forever missed ❤
Luther was a one of kind. He is one that I would have loved to have seen concert. RIP Luther.
I feel so grateful that I did get to see Luther in concert back in the ‘80’s. He was so fantastic! It was in Atlanta, Ga. Anita Baker was his opening act. She was also fantastic! 🥰❤Love you so much, Luther❤️
What a great singer, he's missed greatly. He died way too young.

I'm with you, Scott. I expected more for a legend!
‘ Scott , You do have great taste in music !!!🎶🤓🎩🎈🎉🍷🇺🇸 #Thanks
Thank you, Scott, for your kind words. You were in my neck of the woods, and many of my family members rest at George Washington.
I love his voice! Hard to believe that he is gone. 😢😢
His voice was absolutely beautiful just like the other folks you mentioned. I was heartbroken when he had the stroke then passed. ☹️
Such an amazing voice.
I had cassette tapes, and I have CDs from Luther. Every week I listen to music on TH-cam and I still love and appreciate his music. He sung songs other people sung but the songs sounded so much better when he sung them. RIP
Thank you @Scott On Tape for your time spent visiting this R&B legend with us. Luther Vandross certainly had an amazing voice! I love hearing him sing. He is missed by his many fans.
His memorial seems in stark contrast to his career and fame, but perhaps he wished for simplicity and the relative anonymity that might come along with that for his final resting place.
Rest In Peace Mr. Luther Vandross. 🕊️
Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.
Everything about LVD was extraordinary 😇🎶☀️!! **I often wonder did that 2003 stroke leave Mr Vandross blind or disfigured around the eyes for he wore shades inside the rehab facility.
God bless Luther Vandross.he is truly missed. Luther had such a great voice. A voice of smooth velvet. I cannot believe that he’s been gone since 2008.
My thoughts exactly. 😢
He died July 2005. One of the saddest days of my life.
He was one of many that I cherish and still listen to. Amazing singer, and person!😢
He played a prominent role during Bowies Young Americans era.
My daughter was born in that hospital January 2005. My family and I lived about 10 minutes away from JFK. My aunt was the biggest Luther fan. I remember we heard rumors that he was being treated there at JFK. My aunt couldn’t believe that he was so close to where she lived. She too has now passed on, her birthday was yesterday and seeing this video brought a bit of comfort to my heart today ❤ RIH Auntie and Luther 🙏🏾💜
Thank you for your videos. IMO Luther probably has one of the if not the greatest voices. Every song can't be matched.
Scott, Did you know if you look above Rosa Hunt who is above Luther you will see "Marvin Isley" he was the youngest member of the R&B group "The Isley Brothers" he played bass.... I love what you do and how you go about it with class.
Good eye! Thanks for that!
I was coming to the comments to say this and saw your comment. You’re absolutely right
Wow...I caught that, too! Luther is in good company. RIP
Beautiful voice. Touched your heart and soul.
And a few crypts away from Sylvia Robinson, Founder of Sugar Hill Records, as well.
Loved him hell be missed always
He had such an amazing voice. I remember being little hearing his songs on the radio in the 80's. Great tribute to Luther. 😍
I loved his songs. Rest In Peace Luther Vandross there will never be another voice like his. Thank you Scott for the memories of a great singer

Well welcome to Jersey ❤
Hi!
@@SCOTTONTAPE hope you have a great time
Literally 1 of my favorite singers!! I’m glad you did this on him!! I love your channel you keep me laughing
This incredible man has been like a family member throughout my life. My parents were both massive fans and his music was played constantly in our home. Talk about the soundtrack of your life. Singing along to never too much years ago when it was released . Also played at the most happy and the most sad times. Saw him many many times live at Wembley and my best memory being at the Royal Albert hall for the live recording of his songs album . He duetted with Maria about ten foot away from where I was sitting. The Royal Philamonic orchestra playing with Luther’s incredible band and backing singers. I will never forget it it was magical
Best Things In Life are Free…the song with Janet mentioned your mate Adam the Woo at the start…” Are you ready?
Woo
Free, baby”…. 😎 (Great artist RIP)
Woooooooo lol
I was in the front row at Luther Vandross show at Hammersmith odeon in 1986 or 87 and was lucky enough to shake his hand ☮️
I Love Luther Vandross..
A Great Man and the voice ilt's wonderful
I'm sorry, m'y english is not Very good
There will never be another like Luther. Voice as smooth as Silk. RIP ❤😇
