Me too. I STILL regret never seeing him live.

I love EVERYTHING on the Forever, For Always, For Love album.

But this is my fave.

I can chalk up attending his show @ Reunion Arena in the late 80's, as being one of the best concerts I've attended.

Which tour?

My first concert was Luther. It was the Give Me The Reason Tour. That was a memory I will NEVER forget.

I saw Luther 6 or 7 times. He always delivered live. I can remeber his last Dallas show on September 11 2002 as if it were yesterday.

That show was shown during the UNCF telethon in January 03. I still have it recorded (somewhere).

I loved Luther, I can't believe he is gone now. I miss that guy.

Can't forget Promise Me.

This is my favorite Luther Vandross song: "Make Me A Believer"

true... r.i.p.

StarMon said:

Is that the one where Vanessa Williams opened for him? I STILL kick myself that I didn't see him in the 90s the various times that he came. Now, I make it a point to see most "legends" when they come thru regardless of if I'm a fan or not.

I was jamming this album last night.

I have to remember Vandross is no longer with us. Thanks DaPrettyman for the remembrence/tribute. How old would Vandross have been?

The first time I saw Mr. Vandross is was the opeining act for Gladys Knight and the Pips..this was early 1981. Soon after he debut hit the charts and I saw him 5 times after that in concert.

My all time fav from Lutha

There aren't too many Luther ballads that are bad.

R.I.P. Lutha!!!!!

Here's a clip of Luther, Nile Rodgers, Fonzi Thornton and Carlos Alomar on Sesame Street in 1969.


Can you identify the others?

SCNDLS said:

I was too and the Busy Body album too!

On Point Homey!!

that was Nile Rodgers on guitar?

The duet he did with Gregory Hines, "There's Nothing Better Than Love" is my favorite Luther track of all time.

SCNDLS said:

I pulled out Busy Body this week also and put it in my mp3 player. I tend to overlook that album a lot, but it is good.

funkpill said:

No. Nile's the one in the red shirt and white pants.

therevolutionwillnotbe said:

Nile Rodgers from Chic??


doesn't look like him

funkpill said:

Yea, that's Nile.

therevolutionwillnotbe said:

I don't think that's Nile. Nile is darker than that and his lips are bigger than that. I know it was 10 years earlier (before we got to know him), but that does not look like Nile.
