A Tribute to Luther
If you've been an R&B music fan over the past 20 years (especially slow, soulful ballads) then you've probably heard the silky smooth voice of Luther Vandross. He passed away on 7/1/05, never fully recovering from a stroke that he suffered in 2003.
For me, Luther's songs got me through lonely evenings, hurtful break-ups, and long road trips. There was just something so soothing about many of his songs that caused me to deeply connect with them. It's like he KNEW what I was feeling...
Although there won't be any new Luther songs, the following link will take you to the site that is playing free streaming music from his last album (which coincidentally won a Grammy). You may never be the Luther fan that I've become, but hopefully one of his songs will connect with you one evening as you sit in front of your fireplace with a glass of wine, next to your significant other. And as one of his songs says, it's "So Amazing"...
RIP Luther

What can you say about a man who can sing a tune with Busta Rhymes, Queen Latifah, Foxy Brown, or Aretha Franklin and still hold the lead? Seemed like a tortured soul not comfortable in his own skin just looking to be loved. I was sad when he had a stroke several years ago. Hopefully he will have some release as will his family !
