Luther Vandross
SoRHOrs and dear friends,
I am surprised not to see a thread already dedicated to this topic, but I was SO saddened to hear of the passing of Luther Vandross on July 1st. He was such a classy man and his voice was like velvet... we lost a star in every sense of the word...
in an industry where people people have no shame in singing vulgar, demeaning, and hyper-sexualized lyrics, it was nice to put on a little Luther Vandross and have a man say, "Excuse me, miss, but what's your name?..."
<just like Florida Evans from "Good Times"?
D@mn, D#mn, D%mn!"
(P/S: i didn't want to believe it when i heard it first, 'cause you all know people start these rumors on the internet...but when I saw it on CNN, I had to accept it.)
