It’s a song that makes you think about your nuptials even if you are single.Ĩ. I think this song was sung at every wedding for two years.
I don’t know many songs with this tempo.ħ. I remember the slow song tape I made (everybody made tapes back then), but it had this song and right after “As We Lay” by Shirley Murdock would play. I was a b-boy when this song came out, but I’d still jam some Luther. I also learned my cousin “Bean” could sing because he sound exactly like Gregory Hines. There’s Nothing Better Than Love: This is when I learned that Gregory Hines could sing. I don’t think a night when by that WGCI didn’t play it during “Quiet Storm”.ĥ. If This World Were Mine: Another song my mother use to play all of the time. This song was playing when I experienced my first “squeeze” under the infamous blue light. I was at a basement party on Augusta and Central (west side Chicago) and I met this girl that went to Flower HS. So Amazing: This is a sentimental favorite. When I was living on the west side of Chicago, I use to sit on the back porch with my friend’s sister and we would play this song and talk for hours.ģ. I remember my mother playing this song over and over again. This is the song you wait to hear him perform when you go to his concert. Superstar: This is the easy pick for me and anyone else that is a Luther fan. Today’s Top Ten: Luther Vandross 10 Greatest songs.ġ. So in honor of Luther, I’m going to present a special Top Ten. When you think of love songs, only Barry White (RIP) and Smokey Robison can come close. The man was one of the greatest R&B singers there ever were.
By now you know that Luther Vandross has passed.
