Luther Ronzoni Vandross (April 20, 1951 - July 1, 2005) was an American R&B singer.
A formidable soul artist whose career spanned four decades- 70’s (as backing singer to David Bowie’s Young Americans) and Chic, as well as his own explosion on the decades music with “Superstar, A House is not a Home”.
In the 80’s a vocalist on early Change singles (Searching) continuing a solo career that perhaps never realized its true potential. In the 80’s became an R&B icon with such releases as “Never too Much”, “Power of Love”, “If only for One Night”, “Here and Now”, plus many others.
In the 90’s he was probably more famous for duets with Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey and many others. As an ongoing battle with his weight, that may have ultimately proved his undoing. Suffered a stroke in 2003, from which he never really recovered, and passed away in 2005.
During his career, Vandross sold 25 million albums and won eight Grammy awards including Best Male R&B Vocal Performance four times. He won four Grammy awards in 2004 including the Grammy Award for Song of the Year for the track “Dance With My Father,” co-written with Richard Marx.

+3 on that sentiment! His earlier work was and will always be, the best stuff of his career. I wish he had not gone so Pop with his newer stuff, and had stuck to what made him, his supremely soulful ballads and mid-tempo numbers. There will be no one who will ever take his place. NO ONE!
