Patti wanted to cry you could hear in her voice but she stood strong she truly loved Luther ❤️

Dance With My Father is one of the most emotional songs in existence, and now Luther can dance with his father, again

All the 29 people that hate this video just never know who Luther was. They just love hip hop and all that other stuff going on today. Patti was a good friend of Luther

Luther was one of the classiest performers I've ever heard. Sex appeal without the raunch. I'll truly miss him.

R.I.P Luther - Your velvet voice that caressed the souls of millions will echo for eternity. A big loss for his fans, a bigger loss to his loved ones.

RIP to a true icon. Luther recorded a live version of "A House Is Not A Home" that is permenantly stamped on my soul. That brother KNEW he could sho' 'nuff blow. His legacy will live on eternally in the countless hearts he touched for more than a generation. God bless, and one love...

Patti is such a genuine and classy lady.

Luther & Patti....that is all you would have to say...two greats in their own right....one need not know a whole lot about their private lives to know that Luther was one of the most kindest and generous people. Patti has the same reputation, they were and are pure of heart in their music, their message and their legacy...Luther & Patti meant so much to me when i was younger, they were spot-on with their music....the message was always there...Love & Respect...

I was Luther Vandross' room service waiter at Tropicana Casino in AC NJ, He was kind, respectful, and very generous!! He always made us laugh... "Dance with my Father" was my favorite song because i used to Tap dance with my dad. And my dad passed away when that song came out. RIP my friend Luther Vandross' and my Dad...

Just give Patti a mic and let her sing. Whatever comes out of her mouth will be exquisite. Her speaking voice is inspirational as well. RIP Luther! Miss you, but happy that you left behind so much of yourself in your music.

That was such a loving tribute to the great Luther Vandross. It's been two years, and I still can't believe he's gone! There will never be another Luther, and he will be greatly missed.

I love patti's speaking voice even!

Dude, chill out! He was what he was, but that was just one fact about him, he was a humanitarian, a gifted artist with a voice sent from heaven, a son, a great friend and I am sure so much more! His gifts to us live on!RIP Luther!

I still miss Luther. I think about him all the time. He was a class act.

Thank you , Luther Vandross for becoming a singer ! You got me through some hard times, good times, sad times, loving times, tearful times. Thank you for all your music.

I met Luther before he got famous and he asked me if I could sing....he wanted to take me on tour with him...now I am a dj thanks Luther for Dj Ra Goddess...you saw something in me......I love you

The man, will & forever will be, THE BEST male vocalist of our time!! For a white boy, with a blessed voice from god, i belt his tunes out, every chance i hear them. With regards, to Ms. Labelle where do i start....She is, at least in my opinion, THE BEST DIVA we have today!!! This was a class act, on her part, to pay tribute to Luther the way in which she did, in this video. God bless you Luther, i hope you are singing with the angels now, as you so rightfully deserve.

she's extremely emotionally strong. you can tell at several occasions that she just wants to cry. Respect.

Luther Whitney Freddie etc how can such talent ever be replaced. RIP Mr Vandross and thank you for the music and the memories.

It still hurts to know that Luther is not here anymore. Please rest in peace. You music will live forever in my heart

R.I.P Luther Vandross. Patti gave a wonderful eulogy,poem, and sang a song to remember him by. We lost a wonderful gifted singer of all time.

LUTHER VANDROSS WAS A GIFTED MAN WITH ALOT OF TALENT. HE HAD MADE SO MUCH MUSIC IN A SHORT COUPLE OF YEARS AND EVERY SONG WAS A HIT. HE HAS A STRONG VOICE. I LIKE ALL HIS MUSIC HE MADE FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY.

Patti LaBelle inviteD LUther to perform with her on her ONE niGht ONLY concert 1998. .They done two Duets that evening. They had a very close friendship. .So i can only imagine how Patti was FEelin right there!

Patti knows just how to lighten a mood, with her casual tone of voice. Even though she got passionate with the reading, she knew how to bring it back down. Didn't get too emotional. And the song was touching and smile-triggering.. Thank-you Patti for that great tribute to Luther. A Talent to a Talent. R.I.P Luther Vandross.

I miss this man soooo much. He brought love.

Luther Vandross had a God-given gift in his voice. It was absolutely amazing...incredible. We appreciate the time he was here. It is sad that we keep losing many people because of their health choices. so many people are going to an early grave with diabetes, and other related problems. Let's do better people so that we can live a long time and enjoy and love each other.

LUTHERS VOICE... TRULY ONE OF A KIND

There will never ever be another his vocals can't be duplicated

God bless God for giving us Luther. No one none had as sweet as voice as Luther. Listening to his voice was like listening to a thousand angels. The King of soulful R&B Luthur. Much love.

he will be remember as the most inspirational singer of the world. may he rest in peace. we love you luther

I listened to this with tears in my eyes

No sad faces indeed. I'm am honored to have lived in the time Luther was here. Thank you for posting. You do me proud.

She should've hit another verse of that! Spectacular!... and the poem was just lovely!

"God gave you love...to sing to the world." Truer words have never been spoken.

Beautiful words and remembrance and song by Miss Patti. Miss Luther so much...RIP, dear friend.

That's how a funeral should be for a person you never want to say goodbye to.There's life after death.Luther was a nightinggale to listen to.Thank You!!

LOVED THIS TRIBUTE PATTI AND MRS. VANDROSS! MY HEARD WAS TRULY TOUCHED!!!!!

I loved Luther with all my heart,may your beautiful soul continue to rest in peace.🙏💔

That would break your heart. That was so sad. I loved luther he was a legend.

Luther and my older cousins grew up around each other in New York. He was like family and he is sorely missed RIP till we meet again.

Luther Vandross was a good man I was make off one of his song my daddy told me that because my mother loved luther very much may his soul rest in peace love you. He will forever be a legend. Now I know he dancing with his father now I will alway love you luther you was the best and will alway be the best. Much love

Luther is ABSOLUTELY one of a kind!!! He will always be missed!!!

Wow.. watching Luther's Mum (Ida) stay calm and strong as Patti read her (Ida's) poem to her son is so heartbreaking... The pain and hurt she must have been going through. No parent should have to bury their child. "You kept your Promise"... Rest easy Luther and Ida ❤️❤️

Patti sangang got me choked up. Deep! RIP Luther Vandross.

The World lost a great talent, a great man, and a great human being in Luther's passing. I don't know anyone who doesn't know at least one song or have one favorite. The soundtrack of the lives of many of us here on this site and and the world over has been colored by many of his songs. He will truly be missed and is surely LOVED!!

Amen to all of this He was the best miss him !!! What a beautiful piece of writing. God Bless Luther forever. xxxxx

0:00 "There are no sad faces here today, it's not a mournful service. I'm celebrating." 3:28 Oh, Patti... LOL

Amen, mom knew Ronnie's worth, he was in amazing and very classy man (entertainer) we missing U.

power. patti expressed it. and i am so proud of his mother. such a love. unconditional. thank you. your son...kept the promise and then gave some of the best music we know today. legend. thank you.

patti sannnnnnnnnnnng for your friend. Glad that mama of luther stand so strong for her song. He was simply to me the best male vocalist in music industry.

Luther is my all time favorite male voice, and Patti is absolutely my all time favorite female voice. They luv each other, I miss Luther, Patti put me in tears with her singing. RIP Luther

Luther was a wonderful singer and his talent was immense. The angels sure have a great choir now. Miss you Luther, RIP.

very moving .patti did a wonderful job.i don't know how she held it togther to get through that speech.

I feel it when they show his mother, that just breaks me.

Love and miss his earthly presence, but thank goodness we still have his music to play over and over again. Respect and RIP to my fave male R&B singer. Love you LV.

RIP Luther, your one of the greatest with a silky voice, and the world is not the same since you left us

A lot of love for a man that wasn't able to let the world in on his own views. I only know like 5 songs by heart but those 5 songs are pretty important. I'm sure that if is able to look at the world from wherever he is, he'd be more than satisfied to know that we're still singing and dancing to his songs. "If this world were mine" I wish people like him could've experienced that without the ridicule of the world.

God Bless you dearest Luther...I miss you and hear you everyday in my heart....and miss our times in the studio making beautiful music! RIP and be blessed...will see you in Glory dear friend!

I love Patti and Luther! RIP!

isn't this woman a pure talent ? ooohhh yeeeaaahhh!!!!! and luther vandross ,he wasn't big at all in italy,where i am,but having another example by someone who was homosexual,talented in many ways and almost forced to hide himself till the day he died,it just empowers me to be myself no matter what,and let my talents show up,thanx luther may you rest in peace

I so much appreciate all that Patti Labelle did in tribute to Luther who was my age and whose death struck me deeply.

luther...I miss you so much...and your voice still remains in my heart....PATTI...you are the real soul diva of all times....GOD bless your voice and talent...

Damn miss Patty you gave me chills down my spine when you started to sang! you are also a true gift from god! you are an amazing woman and artist. and there will never ever be another Luther god said that was a one time dill, and i enjoyed that mans music and he will forever be loved! THANK YOU! Luther for all the great memories god bless!

I want to say thank you to the family for letting the rest of the world say goodbye to this beautiful blessed man. I was brought up with Luther and even in to my adulthood, I still had him in my play list!

Love Miss Patti! And what a great tribute to Luther from his Mama. 😭❤️

I’m still miss and am moved by Luther’s songs. Yes, I’m crying too. That beautiful voice and that wonderful man - RIP.

I used to perform in my living room of my house singing with Luther and my kids had a free concert with me singing wirh his tapes.I saw Luther perform live 3 times and I sang from my seat it was a dream to me although he never knew he was singing with me his somgs carried me through some rough times including the suicide of a dear friend. i plan to sing wirh him for real when I see him in heaven i had a stroke also in 2010 R.I.H till we meet for real my brother.

I Love Luther Vandross, he was the best singer Ever

I'm so glad Patti has had such a great career because she is such a nice, genuine person.

Missing your music R.I.P Luther Vandross.

as only Ms. Patti could...RIP Luther 🙏

I just got shivers when Patti started singing

Luther Vandross.... In the Glow of Love... Searching.. A House is not a Home... Creeping/the Bad Boys... need I say more?

much respect to Patti LaBelle for this, LOVING her voice as she sings praise at the end!!! I wish I could just bust out a tune like that :(

I am the biggest luther vandross fan and I am so sad that the best singer in the history of the world !!!!!

I will always love Luther! There is none other like him! His sound, his music and his style is captivating! I'm glad to have experienced your gift. RIP LUTHER "RONNIE" VANDROSS!

One of the greatest voices of all time!! My goodness Patti Labelle is talented!!

My vocal inspirations to the gift of voice the lord blessed me with are Luther and Patti. They are and ALWAYS will be vocal phenoms...!!! Yes you heard right VOCAL PHENOMS. I am openly gay to my VERY loving and supportive family for the last 20yrs. And my heart bleeds for Luther that he couldn't express himself his TRUE SELF to his fans and the world. We lost a VERY VERY special person folks the likes of which we'll NEVER see again. Please do yourselves a favor and THANK GOD for any "special gift" he has blessed you with. Because i know he's given EVERYONE on this earth something special. Some haven't realized it yet, others have and don't do anything with it. That's probably the worst thing you could do with something so special. It hurts God's feelings when you don't use what he's given you. Sometimes it's right in front of our faces and we don't even realize it until someone else points it out to us. Whatever the case WE ALL have it for me it's my voice. For others it's painting, writing poems, etc...But by God in high heaven thank him for what he gave you because you are special. And Luther was just that SPECIAL actually he was EXTRA special because of all the lives he touched with his gift. Luther my dear friend i hope and pray your resting peacefully now. I hope and pray you are singing in God's heavenly choir and that when my time comes i can thank you. Thank you for inspiring me to pursue my God given talent. And leaving me now with ALL your wonderful songs and memories. God bless you Luther from one brother to another.

I miss him! RIP Luther....your music was truly inspirational.

There is NO Beautiful Lady on Earth than this Lady! Love Patti! God Bless you!

So much emotion throughout that service because he was very emotional and heartfelt.

praise the lord for luther vandross, I will be eternally grateful for his grace his style and that incredible joyous voice.he will be terribly missed xx

I didn't know this man up until now. My God he's amazing. Farewell, Rest in Peace and THANK YOU for your inspirational songs.

That poem was so beautiful. Ms. Patti is my girl and I still can't believe that Luther is gone. He had such a tremendous gift. Luther may not be with us physically, but you better believe that his name will most certainly live on. Thank you for sharing your gift, Mr. Vandross.

Those words brought me to Tears 🥺

Luther!!! I miss you. I am so happy I got to see you in concert in 2003 in Miami. You were fabulous, of course.

R.I.P. Luther! Miss him! A true legend. ❤

R.I.P. Luther you will always be missed

I, like so many of his fans, still feel the lost. I was priviled to see him in New York, Rhode Island,Connecticut, and numerous times in New Orleans as a opening act for Angela Bofield to a Great Superstar with the Essence Fest. Heaven got their angel back, but I will always have wonderful memories of him.

Aretha has gone to sing in heaven.thank you queen for your music.rip.you are gone but never forgotten.luther is waiting.sing that duet !!

Oh my God, that is so touching and emotional. So strong. R.I.P. Luther

Queen Patti LaBelle Reading a poem from Luther Vandross Mom 👍👍 Thank You Mama for Sharing your Wonderful Son with the World 🤗🤗 ...R.I.P. LUTHER.

God bless Patti and Luther, Patti is so wonderful when she begin singing to Luther, tears all over my face, magic and soulful voice. I miss Luther, RIP.

With his beautiful voice, and all the joy he gave, does it really matter?
