It is a shame that only now are people starting to realize and appreciate Luther Vandross's talent, as well as his place as a major contributor for today's R&B/Contemporary movement. Vandross was, himself, influenced by legends such as Sam Cooke and Otis Redding. Silky-voiced, with a range like few have, Vandross was a master artisan in his musical genre- belting out hits such as Dance With My Father', 'The Power of Love', and the remakes 'Always and Forever' and 'Endless Love'. But perhaps his greatest hit was the ultimate wedding song, 'Here and Now'. Vandross was a legend, and will be sorely missed by true R&B fans.
