I totally agree not only dose his voice stands out but it’s the depth , energy ,emotions and vocal acrobatic I love this man’s voice ,Luther was like Hell yeah in his head when Johnny Gill steps in.When Whitney just glides on the stage with incomparable amazing voice Icing on the cake but Kenny,Eldabarge did amazing as welll it was a Great Tribute RIP to The Voice and The Platinum Voice Whitney & Luther 🙏❤️

Luther loved them all, respectively. Johnny just had more of a connection with Luther, as in he made it very known publicly that Luther was his mentor and inspiration, which is amazing that he got to actually have that relationship with his idol.

@@marcosmith4764I also think they are more vocally alike than Debarge and Latimore. I could easily see Luther and Johnny singing each other's songs and it not being a huge difference. Annnnd... I'm not sure how much they thought about it, but Luther was known to be in the closet, and I and have others have long suspected Johnny to be as well. So, just seemed they both could relate on a lot of things! They even look alike!
These newer artists can't hold a candle to one of these phenomenal singer's string of hair, let alone their entire person. They tore the house down! One of the best tributes ever!
Maaannnn the more I hear her covers of songs, the more I'm realizing we didn't get nearly enough of her covers of songs!!!!! They're always so 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Ghezzz Still hard to believe Whitney, Luther, Prince, Aretha, MJ are all gone Way too soon. Thankful for clips like this & there music will live on to INFINITY & Beyond.

Nah. They sounded good, but their performance was hardly "masterful". Not on these songs. Once Luther records a song and makes it his, no artist can ever make it sound as good ever again.
Luther’s signature sound cannot be replicated but love hearing El, Jonny & Lattimore serenading him 😊 Whitney though, whew, that was a magical rendition ❤️
I love El, love Kenny, but Johnny Gill was where it was AT in this tribute. Mans NEVER sleeps on his vocals & there's a certain raw, church-like spirit to his tone & riffs that Luther obviously felt. lol. LOVE his reaction at 3:37; Johnny ain't come to play!
@thetruthandnothingbutthetr6484 Nah, your ears are clearly missing what he was doing in that run. Trust, it was more than "hollering" & that's why he got that reaction from Luther & the audience. Slow it down if you need to
This was awesome! Johnny Gill was right at home vocally. He was the one that carried this performance. He made Luther get up at one point and at another made him smile. He knew Johnny put the runs and the growls in all the right places.
If ever there was to be a "Luther" bio movie, Johnny Gill would be an excellent Luther! (I also forgot how fine he used be! Lol) We lost our top musical legends all in a decade, what I mostly miss about them all, (Luther, Whitney, Micheal, Prince,Aretha, Natilie C, ) is they were the last generation to sing about "love" the love song eras seem no more. Now I wanna re-see this whole show♡
Among all three make vocalist, Johnny was the only one that got Luther to his feet ,I believe he reminded Luther of his younger self. The others were phenomenal as well.
The moment you try to complitement Johnny Gill,Kenny Latimore just comes out blazing,then there's El de Barge doing the most,oh then The Queen Herself just shuts down everything. Oh man ❤🎉

Amen. As the old saying goes: "You never miss your water until the well runs dry."

Not at all

It's a shame today's kids will never have this quality of soul and R & B to look back on
They still can look back on it. They just won't remember it. I was born in 1980 but I still appreciate the Temptations, Marvin Gaye, etc
Born 1975
Damn the glory days of real R&B. What beautiful tribute!!!
Facts!🙂
The glory days were way earlier!
Kenny Latimore was soooooooo slept on when it came to vocals. That man can sang. 😩♥️🤞🏽
The REAL ones know! "Never too Busy" still one of the best R&B groovesssss
Yup Kenny could go back then and still got the pipes. This generation of vocalist had to be the truth back then. Great performance.
Agreed! I've always felt he shoulda been more mainstream than what he was! His vocals are AMAZINGLY amazing!!
Yes, Kenny is a great singer. I will give him that.
SAY THAT AGAIN!!
They were all good but how many feel Luther favored Johnny Gill’s vocals?
Luther loved them all, respectively. Johnny just had more of a connection with Luther, as in he made it very known publicly that Luther was his mentor and inspiration, which is amazing that he got to actually have that relationship with his idol.
Everyone knows how serious Luther Vandross and specific he is about vocals and actually doing a live performance, so Johnny just wanted to actually tribute Luther, one for the books.
Johnny Gill is a very aggressive performer and that’s not a bad thing, it’s just that with someone who shares the stage with him.. that may be a bit passive or know how to work the stage like that will look lackluster.
Johnny has the IT factor, the stuff you can’t teach. He knows what/how to do everything in any given moment, no matter what happens.
Johnny was very much in charge of the boys, all those little inflections and ad libs he added.. and tbh.. 😂 I don’t think he actually stayed in position like they rehearsed. All of the guys song well though all jokes aside.

Johnny and Luther were really good friends
Johnny is baby luther
This is when shows were shows!!!💕💕💕
Aaaaamen
You telling the truth!! Now I don't even Watch it's sooo fake Now!!
Amen
You're absolutely right straight ability no nonsense just come out sing and get off.
Say it again!!! 💯💯💯💯💯
These newer artists can't hold a candle to one of these phenomenal singer's string of hair, let alone their entire person. They tore the house down! One of the best tributes ever!
Whitney Houston could interpret ANY SONG…….and make it even more beautiful THAN IT WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Say that again and again, Please!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Maaannnn the more I hear her covers of songs, the more I'm realizing we didn't get nearly enough of her covers of songs!!!!! They're always so 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Let me tell yall… Whitney is anointed. It’s beyond performance, it’s beyond earthly explanation.
Yes she could
I don't agree
I was a seat filler at this show. Lol. All those powerful vocalist on one stage honoring the Legendary Luther was amazing to witness in person.
Wow! I can only imagine😩🙌🏾
Great memory for you.
How do you get to become a seat filler?
❤I know that it was Awesome
You were lucky and blessed too see that show😊
Here in 2025!!! Thank you for this amazing tribute & Luther enjoying himself is priceless ❤
I was so so lucky--I saw Anita Baker open up for Luther and then Whitney in the same year back in the '90's. So much talent.....💜
Ghezzz Still hard to believe Whitney, Luther, Prince, Aretha, MJ are all gone Way too soon. Thankful for clips like this & there music will live on to INFINITY & Beyond.
I know, also James Brown, the Godfather. There are very few artists to fill their shoes. We can thankful that Stevie Wonder is still around.
True legends. Those are singers.
I KNOW!!

Definitely watching. We have only a few of these natural voiced beautiful singers left. Unbelievable grace and harmony.
Whitney with Johnny’s background vocal gave me goosebumps!
Yessss
Johnny loved Whitney he always wanted to do a song with her
R.I.P. Whitney Houston and Luther Vandross
Whitney and Luther were like the same they both had beautiful voice natural
This was magical, all these major heavy hitters on deck, love them all immensely, R.I.P. Luther and Whitney. ♥️
I know… Looking and listening to this woman sing is beautiful… To this day, I still can’t get over her being gone and her baby followed her too…🙏🏾
N.E. 4 Life!
Johnny is DAMN good...Jeez
I love it when Johnny Gill roars. He can hit those high notes.
His voice is amazing!
My Big Bro Bro J.G. Kills It Everytime...Yep...Yep...One Love Fam...
Strong vocals AND build (didn't realize)....
A GOAT
And all of these brothers still look good to this day!
Everyone had on white except Kenny ,wonder why
I see El Debarge with white and black on..so maybe somebody had to where all black
@@shawnac5178 El's suit looked like it was too big and wasn't properly tailored
Now this is a tribute!
Amen
Yes!
Better than a lot of the struggle tributes I've seen lately 👀💯
Didn’t realize how much I miss The Queen’s voice also Mr. Vandross.
Me too
💯😭💔
Whitney is the Queen voice Luther is the King they both had beautiful voices
Enjoying this again, in November 2024. 🎉💪🏾❤️
Luther’s smile is
PRICELESS!!!

Your music LIVES ON!😘
The 80’s... Michael, Whitney, Luther, Prince...great talent, all gone too soon. I’m sure there is great singing going on in heaven

These are true artists…singing in their own key but staying in tune…Mario Banks could probably pull this off today but not the rest…
Luther said you better SANG the song Johnny at 3:38 😂 Luther is not one to jump up
Yes, great moment . ❤
Luther’s signature sound cannot be replicated but love hearing El, Jonny & Lattimore serenading him 😊 Whitney though, whew, that was a magical rendition ❤️

@Carolyn Bratton very true but female wise no female has topped whitney truly one of a kind
They gave him flowers while he was alive ❤❤❤❤❤❤. Rip Vandross
YES!!!!!!!! 🙌🏽💖🙌🏽
I need El to get his flowers now! He is a legend as well and still holding on and fighting off those demons!!
