00:00You only come across an artist like Luther Vandross
00:04Once in a lifetime
00:08I just decided to focus my entire life into music. He was a boss from the beginning
00:14He had a vision of how he wanted it to go down and that's the way it went down
00:18I used to sing for Roberta Flack, Bette Midler, David Bowie. David, new talent. He whispered to me
00:24I love this guy and I'm like, what's not to love?
00:27Luther said I have a sound in my head. I gotta get it out. So we went in the studio says, okay
00:32It goes boom boom boom
00:35This is a quirky little bass line
00:48It was the most exciting time in the world my head my heart
00:54Everything was immersed in this business
00:58His life had some extremely joyful moments four albums and all of them platinum
01:04There's some really difficult moments. He felt strongly. He was being treated in a racist way by the executives
01:13He would say I feel like a trick has been played on me God has given me everything I asked for except one person who
01:19Loves me
01:21People make a big deal out of your weight. Does it bother you? Yeah, it's bothersome right now. Now that you're asking me I
01:29Keep getting the feeling that the best part of my career is still ahead of me. Mr. Luther
01:36If we would be able to talk to Luther as fans we really said
01:42We just love you
