This July will mark 12 years since the world lost Luther Vandross and I wanna do a tribute thread to him to honor his music and his legacy that he left behind.

I think it's sad that no one seems to play Luther any more, not even on classic music radio. Back in the 90s, his music was everywhere.

I Luther too He was such a gentle soul RIP. His voice was so soothing and amazing. Here are some of my fav songs of his.
