Wow! What a beautiful expression of Luther and his voice. I love the way you stated this. Awesone🎉🎉🎉

The Song Bird. Amen. 🐦

on god 😂

Sho nuff

@joenicedj Powerful words...and I 100% agree!

Speak!

Fashow 👍👍👍

I think my son was conceived off this song!🥰🥰😛😛

Absolutely! The entire album is the truth!

We knew about in the hood. And in Black neighborhood bars across the country. It doesn't matter what city or small town I was in this song Believe Me plays it was slept on by the pop and and daytime radio but at night on black private owned radio stations this thing played. And let it be known that this was number one on the R&B and soul charts don't get it messed up nor twisted you looking at mainstream pop music they might have slept but the R&B charts didn't sleep on this song it stayed on the charts check it out for quite a while this album stayed on the charts for weeks so the only people that slept on it is people that either listen to regular white radio stations or Mega radio stations and not small Hometown radio station because when this came out a lot of black-owned station still existed so it played it just didn't play on regular pop contemporary popular music radio station so if you listen to that you didn't get it if you didn't go into Hood bars or until Hood stablish meds and I don't mean Hood meaning ratchet at me I'm talkin about when this came out late 70s early 80s you have to remember black business establishments were still heavily populated throughout cities in America so we got to listen to our music I'm not sure your age range but we heard it in Chicago we heard it in Milwaukee we heard it in Detroit we heard it and Philly we heard and DC we heard those are the cities that I frequent that the most as a teenager but I travel to places like la just not as much believe me hard it'll make quiet storms and they late-night you know love situations you heard the song I don't know what your generation is what region of the country you came up in but this phone and he won you know black awards for it so it depends on who you saying it was not his most popular this thing was phenomenal

A beautiful song

@@lemuelmalik8347 Break it down Lemuel .

It's my favorite Luther song

My favorite...I bought this back in 82 just for this song

Yesssss

So well stated! Ronnie truly was a gentleman first and what's even more interesting he was more of a Dandy than a queen... but most wouldn't get that so that's where you get a diplomat someone who over stood that who he is not based on who he loves. Especially when it came to the Arts. He overstood that not that people wouldn't accept him but that he didn't want to impede his personal with his art because they were one in the same to him. One of his books explains this to a science. Those of us that got to know him personally in his home got to see this beautiful human being be loving at the same time Stern and that's how he was onstage a perfectionist that's how he was in his life despite whatever was going down he was go put his best foot forward. An example for many of us to taking our own lives and purposes

@@lemuelmalik8347 so well said. I got an opportunity to see him in concert a consummate professional.....i miss him, he's beautiful music lives on forever.

@@musicartlover963 indeed

I was sleep on Luther, but always loved house is not a home, he knew how to use the instrument GOD gave him for His gifts are without repentance. We all have something special that we are gifted to do. I too heard the rumors and it hurts to know that all this beautiful love, in love, wait for love, don’t you remember you told me you love me…was he talking about another man? my my my .

Ase

🙌🏾He did his thang while here

Yes, he did! Still here listening in 2023!!!!

@howellw47 I second that emotion ‼️❤️❤️❤️

That. My.favorie Song

One of the GREATEST!!!!!! Hands down!!!

Cheryl Gazouly saw tha late great Luther sang that song live queen 👸 in Houston Texas

🤣🤣

Me too

Donavee Chappell I agree

Donavee Chappell to me not the best but he's right up their. I have a couple others.. just my opinion😊

100% agree...my favorite singer of all time! I saw him live 11 times. Miss this brother!

Hands down !!! Like .. no one even close

I agree he's right up there but that's all Teddy Pendergrass live and God damn that man could go

Me too

Ronnie was a natural arranger of vocals💜💜💜

HIM and Teddy Pendergrass are my Favorites!

Makes you want to return to times of just a nice dance ( more swaying back and forth of I'm being honest; I have 2 left feet...lol) and some candlelight and a drink

And this one was from the Anaheim show (Celebrity Theater), same set up. He walked down the aisle to start the show & sister grabbed him.

@@Stankfunkmusic74 I was front row at this concert in Anaheim. The Elden Campbell era Lakers were behind me. So we're the Calloway brothers of Midnight Star. Best concert ever.

@@OH2CA2GA The Celebrity Theater or the Pond? I only have pictures & audio from the Celebrity Theater. I got the full video from the Pond.

@@Stankfunkmusic74 The Celebrity Theater in Anaheim.

@@OH2CA2GA I liked that little spot. Not a bad seat, the sound was rumbling..... my kind of place.

I'm glad you're enjoying it. I recorded it from the local radio station back in 88, but I didn't realize the live version was so rare. This is my 7th different YT account (others got the boot for uploading tv shows), but I had this on those too. Again, I'm glad you enjoy it.

Mr. Lemuel Malik it is a blessing when God allows us to meet and connect with wonderful people that touch our souls forever with their heart, love, knowledge, just "them" being who they are. It sounds like you and the late great Mr. Vandross had a beautiful friendship

All them panties dropped. Luther Vandross was the original pantie dropper.

@@Mad-UpperCuts wasn't that Teddy Pendergrass?

@@sylviamaua745 😆 teddy P was too but luther was one of the 1st

@@Mad-UpperCuts Luther didn't play the panty throwing. He made one woman come on stage to pick hers up.

@@joycewilliams7393 😆😆😆😆

Lutha was nothing to mess with.

Any true human, wouldn't give a damn about his sexual preference.... the man could SANG!!

From the minute he took the stage.

And my sister was the one screaming that she would drink his bath water.... and if you could've seen his reaction.... priceless. 🤣

Wait..... or was that during Here & Now?? She yelled it during one of 'em. 🤣

I went to as many shows of his as I could and they are unforgettable! Singer extraordinaire- never to be forgotten for sure!

😢🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹

You're welcome

yes he was

@@tiffanyrobinson8785 ,,, ;

I totally agree

Agreed

It's ironic that my 1st born was born on this day, & she got to meet him a bunch of times, all the while not knowing they shared the same birthday. When he last performed at the Universal Amphitheater, we ran into him backstage & she told him they have the same birthday, they high-fived & we took our seat. About 5 songs in, the spotlight hit her, she waved, he waved back & she lost it.... "HE WAVED AT MEEEEEEE!" I didn't miss a concert in the LA area with from '85 until he passed. Anywhere near here I was going. I share your sentiment.

Glad you like it

💜💜💜💜💙💙😘

👏👏👏👏👏👏!!!!!

terry mason It's been a minute.....ah, well charge it to the game.

dawn lowe don’t he queen 👸 seen sang it live in Houston Texas mamma

Yep. Him & Peabo were the go to guys for background singers in the 70's. This man was dropped from Atlantic & had to fund his own way through Epic. I learned when I started in the music business, that you can have all the talent in the world & someone's not gonna like you. It's amazing how that happens & what's crazier, is the music you never hear from these same artists.... due to record label BS.

He performed Sugar & Spice right before this one. I think I uploaded that one on here??? If not, I'll upload that one. I had several accounts that got banned, but this one has been on here the longest.

@@Stankfunkmusic74 oh cool, I gotta hear that one too, thanks 😊

@@seddrock I'll check right now. If not, it'll be uploaded in a few minutes.

Im 25 and loved this guy his truly special if you got more please uplaod more @@Stankfunkmusic74

Nice...

Black Buttafli 😉💯

Black Buttafli Ms butterfly 🦋 saw him sang that song live in Houston Texas mamma 👸

I know right!

Ladonna Sutton I totally agree.

Sad aint it? 11 Idiots that does not know music & pure singing.

They some ass holes

R.C. Harrison They evidently don't know real music!! I hate the imbalance of the background mics, but they are amazing singers!! This is magic to me!!

Milli Vanilli fans.
