Luther #1 with ‘Luther’

 

The Legendary Luther Vandross, with his Velvet crooning voice, was a singer, songwriter, and producer.  Vandroas was a uber iconic vocalist, of the modern era. He provided glitter and wonderment, to artists such as David Bowie, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Whitney Houston, Cheryl Lynn, Lisa Fischer, and Dionne Warwick. 

As wonderful as his music catalog was/is. He only had one #1 Pop hit (Dance With My Father) Clearly, the race card was played. The battle in the music industry continues, on who gets what(budget), and why. Though Luther Vandross, is no longer with us. Sometimes life rewards, in an organic prelude, to the deserving few.  Enter superstar Hip Hop ICON Kendrick Lamar, who had the great ear, to record a masterpiece called ‘Luther’ and sample the Luther Vandross, produced ‘If This World Were Mine’ a duet, with singer Cheryl Lynn, which just so happens to be sitting at the #1 Spot, on The Billboard POP Top 100 Charts, for the 8th consecutive week. I know Mr. Vandross has to be smiling down, thinking WOW, they FINALLY realized my vision and purpose. He can Take his Bow, it is well EARNED and DESERVED!
