Feels like it’s been a bad week for musical heroes. This one’s for Ronald… 😢

Very sad. Just a smattering of his incredible output… 😢

@ADRlANJ @luthervandross @LouieVeganyc @bbemusic From Luther’s 1998 album, it’s a great track! 👌

[VinylFlicks @VinylFlicks]

A few years ago, the @luthervandross estate licensed some unfinished recordings. This one from @louievega was so good it makes my Top 10! An incredible respectful take that references that Chic/Petrus sound.

It's the final day of our #14daysOfLuther, and what better way to celebrate the legacy of @luthervandross and #valentinesday than this! #never2much!

If you've enjoyed our shuffle through just a sample of his recordings, then do check out Dawn Porter's 2024 documentary!

[VinylFlicks @VinylFlicks]

Let's not forget how much a part @luthervandross was of the CHIC sound on those first LPs...

After the band Luther folded @luthervandross withdrew back into session work, but if he wanted to rtemain unnoticed, maybe don't do lead vocals on a Quincy album? Here he duets with Patti on I'm Gonna Miss You In The Morning

One of @luthervandross' most succesful early productions was Jump To It, featuring the hit single of the same name. It was something of a dream come true for Vandross to get to work with icons like Aretha and Dionne.

Gregg Diamond's biggest success was producing adult star Andrea True, but it was the @luthervandross' vocalled Hot Butterfly which caused a stir, with covers from Sweet Inspirations and Chaka Khan over the next couple of years.
