For Always Forever For Luther
As a Luther Vandross Tribute Artist, I find Luther Vandross's music very classy, stylish, and breath taking. One of the things I really insist on in our shows, is to protect the integrety of Luther Vandross. Our shows are as authentic as possible and we stay in charecter down to even the stage ware.
It is an honor to be a Luther Vandross Tribute Artist. And we just honor is music.

I lost these words
I must confess after all these years that I am the sole authur of a lot of Luther's music,the lyric part .You see back when I was a teen,naw seriously I wrote these words and dumb mindedly submitted them to fraud music company promising me a career in writing music. I was in, and still am in a lot of pain over my blunder. So please don't ridicule me for getting this out in the open. By calling me a liar,because I'm not .There is nothing for me to gain because again I dumb mindedly destroyed them . I love this music because it is mine and it is great music,and the other guy Arthur Pr____I have even for gotten how his name goes, I wrote some of his music also. I hate them both and myself for this happening to me.
some of his music also. I hate them both and myself for this happening to me!
RIP LUTHER
Luther to me is around coz i hear his voice everyday.The tear in his voice is the reason why i will always love his music. RIP my greatest Teacher
