NEW YORK - Grammy award winner Luther Vandross, whose deep, lush voice on such hits as "Here and Now" and "Any Love" sold more than 25 million albums while providing the romantic backdrop for millions of couples worldwide, died Friday. He was 54. Vandross died at John F. Kennedy Medical Center in Edison, N.J., said hospital spokesman Rob Cavanaugh. He did not release the cause of death but said in a statement that Vandross "never really recovered from" a stroke two years ago.

He was too young.
I love his music, he had a very nice voice.

 

[Saffron]

Wow I can't believe it's been two years all ready! I remember the press reporting that he had died when he had the stroke. That was horrible!

Peace, Luther.

RIP, Luther.

Superstar/Until You Come Back to Me is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I get choked up everytime I hear it. RIP Luther!

I wanna tell you, baby
The changes I've been goin' through
Missin' you, missin' you, oh...oh...
Till you come back to me
I don't know what I'm gonna do
N-n-n-no, n-n-no

Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
You said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby
I love you
Yeah...I really do

Long ago
And oh, so far away
I fell in love with you
Before the second show

And your guitar
And you sound so sweet and clear
But you're not really here
It's just the radio

Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
You said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby, yeah
I love you
I really do

(To belong) Yeah...hey...eah...yeah...hey...hey
(To belong) Whoa...ho...oh...whoa...ho...ho...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

You looked for me to be yours
You want my love, but you're on the road
Don't you remember me anymore

Loneliness
Is such a sad affair
A sad affair
And I can hardly wait
To be with you again

And what to say, to say
To make you come again
Oh, honey
Come on back to me again, yeah, hey
I wanna be, I wanna be anywhere you are

Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby
You said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, woo, baby, oh, baby
Yes, I love you
I really do

Too sad.

 

[Sandy22]

Very sad.

 

[Hermosa11]

I am extremely upset and saddend by the news of his passing.
It is a very sad day in the music industry.

 

[happybratpack]

So, so sad...he was such a great talent and wonderful person. He's had such a hard last few years, I hope he's at peace now.

 

[Metro West]

This was truly a sad passing. He was way too young and will be sorely missed. Luckily, his music will live forever.

 

[Laura]

Very sad news. He had a fantastic voice.

I was just thinking of him last night and wondering what his progress has been. There was a commercial on TV for various music, and his was one of them. Unfortunately, premature death from complications of diabetes is too often a reality. What a talented person who will be missed!
