R&B Singer Luther Vandross Dies


"The Insider" has confirmed that R&B legend LUTHER VANDROSS passed away Friday at the age of 54. Sources tell "The Insider" that Vandross' death was unexpected, and that a memorial service is planned in New York sometime next week. The singer sold over 25 million records during a long and successful career that began in the 1970s. In 1981, he released his debut album, Never Too Much, and went on to become one of the most popular musicians of the 1980s, cranking out lasting hits like "Here and Now" and "The Best Things in Life Are Free." Vandross hit the top of the charts again in the '90s with a duet with MARIAH CAREY of "Endless Love." His soulful pop crooning went on to inspire artists like USHER and ALICIA KEYS, as well as "American Idol" and record labelmate RUBEN STUDDARD. Sources also report that a tribute album for Vandross is in the works. In April 2003, Vandross suffered a stroke due in part to his struggle with diabetes; he then spent close to a month in a coma, and battled meningitis and pneumonia after the attack.

This is sad on at least 2 levels.  First he was a great entertainer, had a really soulfull voice that was totally original and unimitable.  So I'll miss him for his great music, but on the other hand, I've always heard from people in the music industry (in interviews and things) whenever his name came up, that he was just the nicest, most polite gentleman alive.  Apparently he was a really good guy, and it's sad to lose another good person in the world.

Thanks for the memories and music, Luther!
