Luther
Vandross
April 20, 1951 – July 1, 2005

He is described on AOL music as R&B’s unforgettable balladeer and vocalist, while ITunes and MTV confirm that his smooth and versatile tenor was one of America’s consistent and compelling voices. I have nothing more to add to those except that I miss him and wish he was still here making music.
