The man was around when I started noticing girls, had to get over crushes, slow danced at the roller rink and sat out at night gazing at a millions stars while crossing the Pacific. There are so many songs from Luther and I’m sure every list would be different. Honorable Mentions: I won’t even make a list here. I don’t know how many times it played when I drove from San Diego to Philadelphia in 1993. Some Times Its Only Love: I played this song so much when I was in the military. Long gone is the era when the music would do the mackin’ for you.ġ0. If Only For One Night: This has to be the most romantic begging song ever made. Make Me A Believer: This one would rate higher with a lot of people, but I couldn’t put it any higher that six, but it is a great song.ĩ. It’s a song that makes you think about your nuptials even if you are single.Ĩ. I think this song was sung at every wedding for two years. I don’t know many songs with this tempo.ħ. I remember the slow song tape I made (everybody made tapes back then), but it had this song and right after “As We Lay” by Shirley Murdock would play. I was a b-boy when this song came out, but I’d still jam some Luther. I also learned my cousin “Bean” could sing because he sound exactly like Gregory Hines. There’s Nothing Better Than Love: This is when I learned that Gregory Hines could sing. I don’t think a night when by that WGCI didn’t play it during “Quiet Storm”.ĥ. If This World Were Mine: Another song my mother use to play all of the time. This song was playing when I experienced my first “squeeze” under the infamous blue light. I was at a basement party on Augusta and Central (west side Chicago) and I met this girl that went to Flower HS. So Amazing: This is a sentimental favorite. When I was living on the west side of Chicago, I use to sit on the back porch with my friend’s sister and we would play this song and talk for hours.ģ. I remember my mother playing this song over and over again. This is the song you wait to hear him perform when you go to his concert. Superstar: This is the easy pick for me and anyone else that is a Luther fan. Today’s Top Ten: Luther Vandross 10 Greatest songs.ġ. So in honor of Luther, I’m going to present a special Top Ten. When you think of love songs, only Barry White (RIP) and Smokey Robison can come close. The man was one of the greatest R&B singers there ever were. By now you know that Luther Vandross has passed.
