God Bless the King of R&B/Soul, gone 4 years already. I'm sure he and Michael are up there singing to the angels.

1. Never Too Much

2. A House is Not a Home (cover of Dionne Warwick's 1964 hit song)

3. The Best Things In Life are Free w/Janet Jackson

4. Take You Out (one of the classiest vids ever done)

5. His debut album "Never Too Much"

6. The Ultimate Luther Vandross (2006)

7. Usher's version of Superstar or Babyface's If Only For One Night, I can't choose.

8. Live (that NAACP Image Awards performance is mind blowing)

9. Nobody comes close to matching Luther.

10. Since the 80's but not seriously until 2005, after his death [the longer you listen the better it gets Mr 2011]

11. A House is Not a Home, the most powerful song of all time!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w062-X-v6FQ

8. both live & in studio

9. Freddie Jackson - he has that emotive quality to his music and smoothness.

ex. "You are My Lady" & "Until the End of Time"

10. I've always been around music, so I've been listening to Luther since my childhood days.

11. I think the most powerful song that he sang was "A House is Not A Home." Although it was a cover, it was authentically Luther. He not only took the original and breathed his signature romantic passion into it, making it his own, but also solidified the metaphor used in the song. Luther shone a bright light on the male's perspective of that failing relationship. He had sung it with so much emotion that you could not help but feel sorry for the guy even though he was in the wrong. The desperation and heartache was definitely felt in Luther's rendition.
