That what I was like when my mom was on the phone. She was like "Luther Vandross died today" All I could do was say, "nooooo, are you serious?" and then I jus had to get up and walk away before I cried. but before I even madea move, the tears came. I'm crying as I'm writing this. I loved him like a brother.....I'm so sad without him. And just the other day I was thinking that I should play some Luther. DAMN MAN.....why..... Why Luther? Why HIM.....he wasn't even old yet..I mean, 54....come on. RJ was 56/57 when he died? All these TALENTED PEOPLE dying before their time, or at least, the time I want them to. Who's gonna die next? and LORD LET IT NOT BE PRINCE! All hell would break lose amongst ourselves if he died in his 50's. I don't know how much more of this I can take. Lord please have mercy. I love you Luther, Rest In Peace my brotha.

I hear ya, I feel the same way. I was thinking today, "Shoot, if I'm this emotional with Luther passing away, how the heck would I be if Prince were to die on us?" I would probably be dressed in black, sittng in my house, listening to his music all day and crying my eyes out. Not a good thing.

Tish4 said:

Im not even trying to think about that.

The fat bloke was always a heart attack waiting to happen.

I'm a fan of the guy. He was still a fat fuck with a heart attack waiting to happen. Most people have thought that since 85.

If you are going to call people an asshole, at least give reason.....and learn to spell.

Damnit! I cant believe this. Luther is gone. So so sad. Im in shock.

SquirrelMeat said:

why does someone always have to post things like this in threads remembering someone who just passed? does it make you feel like more of a contrarian? a provocateur or a bad-ass, perhaps?

guess what - nobody's impressed. this isn't the right time or place for disrespectful comments, regardless of their truth.

let's keep this thread respectful - not just to vandross' memory, but to those people who use this site who want a decent environment in which to share thoughts and feelings.

further such comments will be deleted on site, without explanation. repeated comments will lead to immediate account deactivation.

i'm not playing.

thanks,
anx

damn RIP. I posted the info on my site and my mailing list newsletter.

R.I.P. Luther

God. I loved Luther. He was a great, great singer; one of the best in the world. While we were all awaiting the Michael Jackson verdict, I did something I had not done in years. I went and bought Off the Wall and Thriller on CD and just tried to remind myself why we loved him.

With Luther, there is no need to "remind" ourselves. He was and is one of the best ever. God bless him on his new journey, and let's play his legacy now, remembering how this man could sing the phone book and make it sound good.

Despite hundreds of imitators, there was only one Mr. Vandross.

Prince better eat right and stay healthy, dammit, because if I'm alive to see his passing...damn. Damn.

Wow, this is very tragic with the passing of Barry White, Rick James, and now Luther.

me and madartista was just talking about him last night!

although i wasn't a fan of his .he made some great music.

"don't want to be a fool" and "dance with my father" were the ones i liked.

now he's dancing with his HEAVENLY father and his EARTHLY one.

R.I.P..there will NEVER be another one like him.

Yes, He has been my favorite singer/balladier for many years.
Whenever things were not going right for me, I could always find comfort in his music.
I have seen him in concert many many times.
He was a true entertainer; always gave way more than the ticket price.
Everybody always said..."feels like we should give him some more money."
I talked to him the last time I saw him in concert.
He smiled that beautiful smile, and said something that made us both laugh.
I can't believe there will be no more "SONGS" from his lips not poetry from his pen. I do look forward to seeing him again though. (I believe in the resurrection back to life in paradise.)
Now all the Vandross siblings are gone; Peace to his Mom.

R.I.P. Luther. Your beautiful voice and soul will live on in a better place now.

Lots of fat people live long lives.
Diabetes ran in his family.
His dad who was not fat at all died when Luther was a young boy.
His brother and two sisters died younger than he did.
My Mom had a heart attack..
She weighed 135.

Luther:

You were the greatest soul singer of my generation. I loved you and your music. May God bless you always.
