Luther Vandross was one of the most successful R&B artists of the 1980s and 90s. I need someone to tell and how many people were watching and how they restored our credit, replenished our edges and left a sweet potato pie in the oven through their voices and stories.

Many of them weren't born when the songs were released on vinyl and then CDs. Gladys and Patti also gave shoutouts to Michelle Obama, saying she will be the next Black president.īlack Twitter reacted enthusiastically to the battle on Sunday. The phrase comes from Black ghey slang and has gained popularity, thanks to hip-hop star Jaydawayda releasing a song called "Period Pooh" in 2019. Other notable points during the evening included Patti kicking off her shoes to perform "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," and also saying, "We all have to vote. "I haven't seen you guys in so long," Dionne commented as she joined Gladys and Patti on stage. The musical powerhouses delighted fans with their vocal talents and their good natured exchange between songs.īut it was Dionne's appearance at the end of the clash that drew the most attention, with the 79-year-old joining Gladys and Patti to perform "Superwoman" - their 1991 single - and "That's What Friends Are For," which Dionne won the Grammy for song of the year and best pop performance by a duo or group with vocals in 1986.
Gladys and Patti, both 76, faced off during the social media clash, performing their respective hits, as 600,000 viewers tuned in for their battle, including Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson. Later Grammy winners like 1991’s “Power of Love/Love Power” and 2003’s “Dance With My Father” remain as technically accomplished as they are emotionally moving, on both counts standing as testaments to his enduring legacy.Dionne Warwick made a surprise appearance during Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle's Verzuz battle on Sunday night, as the trio performed their song "Superwoman." In the decades that followed, Vandross continued to find ways to push the art forward instead of relying on the tried and true. Along with the irresistibly joyful title track of Vandross’ 1981 solo debut, Never Too Much, “A House Is Not a Home” also helped launch him after many years of working behind the scenes as a session vocalist and arranger for acts like David Bowie and Bette Midler and as the singer of “Searching” and “The Glow of Love,” two classy hits for the Italian/American disco group Change. Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Celine Dion have all acknowledged the impact that their sometime duet partner had on them. In the process, he transcends the ‘60s divas who inspired him-Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin-to create a model for those who followed.
That’s just what he did on his astonishing 1981 cover of “A House Is Not a Home,” transforming the Burt Bacharach/Hal David classic into an acutely personal demonstration of his control, dexterity, and expressiveness. A suave yet warmhearted New Yorker who became one of R&B’s beloved balladeers from his solo breakthrough in the early ‘80s to his untimely death in 2005, Vandross was also a vocalist whose understanding of singing as an art form was so profound, he changed notions of what it could be. Luther Vandross was more than just a great singer.
