ARTIST NUMBER 1..................LUTHER VANDROSS

Luther Ronzoni Vandross was Born in New York City on the 13th April 1951, He was a Songwriter, Singer & Producer!


During his Career He Sold Over 25 Million Records and Won 8 Grammy Awards.


His Solo Album & Singles Career was as Follows: 14 Studio Albums, 1 Live Album, 1 Christmas Album and 17 Compilation Albums, a Total of 33 Albums  and He Released a Total of 59 Singles!

Of course He was also Featured on Many other Artist's Albums, and Singing Lead with Other Acts including Change and Greg Diamond's Bionic Boogie, He also had a Couple of Early Album Releases in the Late 1970's, under His Own Name, See Album Link at end of Post!

A Brief History of Luther Vandross Follows: 


His Father had Died from Diabetes when he was 8 Years Old, also in later Life LV's Brother and Sister were to Die from the same Illness, this was to Plague LV through his life, He and his family Moved to "The Bronx" when He was 13 Year's old.


In 1969 when He was 18, LV Appeared in a Couple of Episodes of "Sesame Street"


In 1970 He Attended the "Western Michigan University" but after 1 Year He Dropped out to Pursue a Career in Music.


During the Early 70's to Mid 70's LV had Writing Credits on Albums by Several Artist's including Roberta Flack and David Bowie.

Luther Vandross Suffered from Diabetes, He also Suffered from Hypertension, He also had a Weight Problems throughout His Life, I Believe He lost over 150 lbs at Least on 6 ocassions in his lifetime!


I can Remember back in the Early 90's seeing LV on the Oprah Winfrey Show, when they Wheeled out a Barrow Full of Lard, which Represented How much Weight He hast Lost, this type of Weight Loss and that amount of Times, could not have been Beneficial to Him!

By 2003 LV had just Finished Recording, what turned out to be His Last Studio Album "Dance With My Father" when on April 16th He Suffered a Massive Stroke, He was in a Coma for 6 Weeks.


He made His only and Final Public Appearance on the "Oprah" Show in 2004, He was Really Bloated and un- recognizable, Check this out, the Sound and Picture are not Great, (but it's not bad) and it's Very Sad!


The Album went on to be His Best Selling Album in the US Selling Over 3 Million Copies there Alone and the Single "Dance With My Father" gave LV his First Number 1 Pop Hit in US!


On the 1st of July 2005 at the Age of 54, Luther Vandross Died of a Heart Attack.


There have been many Theories on his Life and his Lifestyle, but whatever you me or anybody else says or thinks, He was and Still is a Great Soul Singer!
