I'm heterosexual. I find it uncomfortable, listening to Luther, singing love songs, knowing he is singling to a man. I have no problem with him preferring men to women. That's his choice. Luther was without doubt, a talented man. RIP Luther

Luther Vandross was an amazing talented artist. There was no voice like his! His songs had the power to move your soul! “ Every year, every Christmas “, is only one of my favorites! In fact I don’t think there are any of Luther’s songs that didn’t melt my heart. He was one of the greatest of all time. So please just leave him alone, his gender is ….and was a man, and that he could sing his heart out. Let him R.I.P. Nothing else matters, or is important at this point.

While his undeniable and incredible talent received all the credit it deserved, so will his immoral lifestyle receive all of God's judgment it deserves. And so will all who engage in or support this lifestyle (Romans 1:18-32). Fact. But I still truly miss his incredible talent.

Luther Vandross is in the same Mausoleum alongside his Nephew Micheal Vandross. Micheal was a member of my NMS music 🎵 group. I was invited with my late husband to the Vandross family reunion back in the day at Mrytle Beach 🏖️. We had a phenomenal time with the Vandross family. They gave me the grey Mohair sweater that Luther wore in one of his music videos. Rest in Peace Luther and Micheal Vandross.

This video is using a lot of time to focus on Luther’s sexuality instead of focusing on his amazing talent. It doesn’t matter to me. I loved his talent then and I can still lose myself in his songs today. If he hadn’t died too soon, who knows how much further he could have gone. I’m sure he would have given some of these younger artists a run for their money. RIP Luther
