@@TheBritneyArmy6421They literally just honored her at the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame last month and she sang that night. She still sounds good at 80 something years old. Don’t disrespect the legend that is Dionne Warwick. Take it somewhere else. ❤
Luther had yall mesmerized. 😂😂😂 yall never been so quiet. 😂 that's what he do baby!!! You got to do a luther LIVE top 5 Yes, the was Denzel and yes that is dion warrick. She was receiving a special award. Luther was singing a song for her. The were good friends. She was also whitneys first cousin
Joe you should now realize a lot of hip hop uses samples of music from the 60s, 70s, 80s and so on😂 Kanye also sampled Chaka Khan's song "Through the fire" in his song "Through the wire" but sped up the sample. This song was sung by Dionne Warwick in the 60s. Luther's cover of the song is different . He changed the song’s pacing. He opened it up and stretched it out.😂
Artists were influenced by Luther's singing and Luther was influenced by Dionne Warwick and Smokey Robinson's singing who came before him. Fun fact: He sung baxkup for David Bowie for one of his albums and cowrote a song with him.
That was a tribute to Dionne Warwick. A House Is Not a Home was one of her early hits from the early 60s. Luther worship Dionne Warwick . Luther Vandross is just spectacular. Take a listen to Luther before he went solo. He was with a group called Change. Luther Vandross's two hit songs with the group "The Glow of Love" and "Searching", both released in 1980. Vandross was the lead singer for both songs. Luther had a beautiful voice, but would set him apart from just that magnificent voice with his phrasing it was spectacular. You can see why he went solo he’s spectacular. Little bit of trivia David Bowie was making his R&B influenced Young Americans album 1975 luther was one of the backup singers and had a lot of input with Bowie who thought Luther was one of the best singers he has ever met and encouraged him to go solo.
"A House is Not a Home" was written by the late great Hal David and Burt Bacharach and sung for them by Ms Dionne Warwick. Dionne was also one of Luthers' favorite singers . Burt always said of Ms Warwick that she had pigtails when he first heard her sing. Did you guys notice a young Janet Jackson in the audience?
lol joe singing the sample LAID ME FLAT! surprised you guys didn't notice / acknowledge young janet jackson in the audiience. Luther & Janet would duet later on - the best things in life are free is the name of the song.
At 9:58 the actor Paul Winfield sitting behind Dionne, like Luther who you these ladies think you singing to, I just seen you at the bar last night. 😂😂😂😂.
Luther was known for his romantic vocals and getting the women "swoony". After seeing your reaction he clearly had y'all captivated as well. LOL! Those vocal runs, key changes and repetitive lyrics were a staple of his performances and NO ONE could deliver them like he did. His passing left a significant hole in the fabric of male vocalists. This was a great song choice. Speaking for myself, I always preferred his faster more R&B songs. If you're looking for a week of Luther I'd suggest.... "Stop To Love" "Till My Baby Comes Home" "Never Too Much" "Glow of Love" (by the group Change but Luther does main vocals) "Searching" (by the group Change but Luter does main vocals) "Give Me the Reason" (was used on a soundtrack) When I think of Luther, I think of these songs.
According to Dionne she said Luther called her and told her that she going to sing her song and wanted her to hear it, she ok after listening to it she told him I hate you 😂 so that to he did a great job on it
They were honoring Dionne Warwick, this is one of her popular songs. But yes, Luther Vandross to me is the male Whitney Houston. He really was a legend in so many ways and the blueprint for future singers.
Ahh…with a performance like this, ya just gotta let it play!! Luther is the King of cover. Will make your song unnoticeable lol! Original song written by Burt Bacharach and singer Dionne Warwick!! ❤️
Luther counted Dioone Warwick as his musical inspiration, he covered lots of her songs (including this one) as well as duets with her, they were friends who spoke daily. Her son wrote one of his hit songs (Here and Now). She is a living legend, second only to Aretha Franklin in charted hits during “rock and roll” era. This show was a tribute to her, why they showed her often.
Luther was singing this song (originally sung by Ms. Warwick) at a talent show during his time at Western Michigan University when she heard him singing it. The rest is history.
Yes, that is Dionne Warwick who was the original singer of this Burt Bacharach/Hal David song. Sitting next to her is her aunt Cissy Houston, the mother of Whitney. The template for all R&B/Soul singers was not Luther, but rather Sam Cooke, who was the first "soul" singer, the first to take gospel rhythms and cadences and use them in popular music, and the first black artist to own the copyright to his music. Give a listen to Sam doing "Good Times" (which Luther later covered), "Having A Part", "Bring It On Home To Men", and of course his great "A Change Is Gonna Come". For Luther listen to his "Here And Now", "Dance With My Father", "Give Me The Reason", and "Never Too Much".

Guys you are wrong Dionne Warwick is not his wife but she was the original person that sings this song and she remained friends with Luther vandross until his death on July 1st 2005 plus she is the niece of the late legend R&B And Gospel singer Emily cissy Houston and cousin of her late daughter R&B and Pop Singer Miss Whitney Houston
Hey guys. Watch the new documentary on Luther entitled, "Never Too Much." In it they share about Luther's homosexuality. He was, is and always be a musical genius!!!
Dionne Warwick is the og crossover pop star, who sang so technically perfect, she made songs, songwriters, and producers household names/global stars as she become one. Also, she is Whitney's first cousin and Cissy Houston's niece!
Luther and Whitney both had the special ability to make a song their own -- and likely steal it from ya lol. I miss them terribly. The two greatest vocalists of the last century.
Yeah that was Dionne a good friend of his and Whitney's first cousins. Also luther was gay so good luck with finding a wife :p came out after his death but i think it was highly rumoured and visible. Sadly he had to live his life in the shaddow.
This is Dionne Warwick's song and Luther is covering it. Also, Dionne Warwick was Whitney Houston's first cousin. I'm surprised you two haven't reacted to Whitney. She is "The Voice" after all..lol. I would suggest All the Man I Need (Live HBO 1991 version).
Guys when you gonna react to more Tina Turner??!! I’m gonna keep asking…. TINA TURNER (Live performance at Wembley 2000) - Nutbush (Live at Wembley 2000) th-cam.com/video/HUApHigFfSc/w-d-xo.html - Proud Mary (you must do this version!) (Live at Wembley 2000) th-cam.com/video/T2T5_seDNZE/w-d-xo.html
I like your show, but you guys need to do a better job of knowing about the artists that you react to and critique. A House Is Not a Home" is a 1964 ballad written by the team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the 1964 film of the same name, starring Shelley Winters and Robert Taylor. The song was recorded by American singer Dionne Warwick. The song was then recorded by R&B/soul singer-songwriter Luther Vandross on his 1981 debut album Never Too Much. The lady that Luther is singing to in this video is Dionne Warwick, and she is the aunt of the late Whitney Houston. Also, Denzel Washington and Debbie Allen introduced Luther in this video. Please do better going forward. Thanks!
@@CosWale They literally have joked that they do no research so I don't think they will in the future 😂 Sometimes they look up something on the spot if they have questions about something they're watching but it's not consistent. Although they critique each song their main thing is critiquing music videos but sometimes people don't request those.
@ I know but now it's an annoyance at this point. Again, I think they're funny but if you're asking people for money to do their top 5 songs by an artist, it takes a minute to know quick fun facts.
Please react to Sandra Bernhard,.Without You I'm Nothing, a one woman show made into a film. She covers)interprets this song, among many others, while delivering comedy, and her impeccable flair❤🎉
Luther Vandross was unique, with the most beautiful, velvety voice that will always be remembered and missed.🕊
I do not enjoy his music so please don't request him again
@@reIizer10 Honey, your likes and dislikes mean nothing to me. Now move along and have a nice day! 😊😊😊

Dionne was the original singer of that song written by Bacharach and David. Plus they were the best of friends. Luther never married.
Dionne Warwick is not his wife But she was the original singer of this song and they was honoring her that night…❤❤❤❤
She also cannot sing since the 80s
I came here to say this.
@@TheBritneyArmy6421Who asked you? 😏
@@TheBritneyArmy6421They literally just honored her at the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame last month and she sang that night. She still sounds good at 80 something years old. Don’t disrespect the legend that is Dionne Warwick. Take it somewhere else. ❤
@@TheBritneyArmy6421this is so rude and unnecessary?? she’s older now, obviously her voice changed but she’s a legend
"House is Not a Home" is actually dionne warwick's song luther did a cover that became a signature hit for him.
Luther was the king of the quiet storm. 👑 ❤
The platinum voice from the GOAT of SMOOTH!!! The song that he is singing is her song and they are friends and he is doing the song his way.
Luther had yall mesmerized. 😂😂😂 yall never been so quiet. 😂 that's what he do baby!!! You got to do a luther LIVE top 5
Yes, the was Denzel and yes that is dion warrick. She was receiving a special award. Luther was singing a song for her. The were good friends. She was also whitneys first cousin
Patreon must have my soul bc the only suggestions I make are a Chaka week and a Luther week lol
Right 😂😂😂I'm always mesmerized when I watch it.
Definitely a full week for Luther, “Superstar”. Fun fact, Luther was a background singer for David Bowie!
Dionne and Whitney were cousins.
@houiej you're right. My bad. Thanks for the help

Yesss I’m glad yall knew slow jamz. Yes they sampled Luther’s version🔥🔥.
Luther and Whitney both had the special ability to make a song their own -- and likely steal it from ya lol. I miss them terribly. The two greatest vocalists of the last century.
Was hoping you'd catch that Kanye Sample, it's a mash up version someone did here on TH-cam with both versions, and it's so damn good.
A few of his hits were Dionne Warwick classics first, including this one!
Luther isnt nicknamed "The Velvet Voice" for nothing 😂
Yeah that was Dionne a good friend of his and Whitney's first cousins. Also luther was gay so good luck with finding a wife :p came out after his death but i think it was highly rumoured and visible. Sadly he had to live his life in the shaddow.

@ Oh, my computer didn’t show any of her videos when I searched. Thanks! 🙏🏽
Did you guys know that Dionne is Whitney Houstons first cousin ?
"Is that his wife?" Oh henny, no gurl. How you doin'?
Dionne wasn’t his wife. Luther was a gay man but didn’t have the freedom to come out during that period
Yall should react to Jamie foxx impersonating Luther and others on jimmy fallon. It was so good.
