Oprah Declares Luther Vandross 'The Greatest'

           

              Usher and Patti Labelle to Give Musical Tribute

                          to Vandross on Oprah 9/20

 

            'Entertainment Tonight' & 'The Insider' Gives 6 Days

                            of Vandross Coverage

 

    'So Amazing: An All-Star Tribute to Luther Vandross' in Stores 9/20

 

    NEW YORK, Sept. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of Oprah's 20th season premiere

week, music icon Patti LaBelle and multi-platinum recording artist Usher will

grace the stage to pay musical homage to one of the greatest singers of our

time -- Luther Vandross.  Airing on Tuesday, September 20, LaBelle excites the

Oprah audience with a soul-stirring performance of "Here and Now" while Usher

gives an electrifying rendition of "Superstar," songs which also appear on the

J Records' release, "So Amazing: An All-Star Tribute to Luther Vandross" (in

stores 9/20).

    Also paying tribute to Vandross are "Entertainment Tonight" and "The

Insider," with six days of heart-warming interviews leading up to the

September 20 release of the album, with Mrs. Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Jamie

Foxx, Beyonce, Clive Davis and footage of Celine Dion's recording studio

session of "Dance With My Father."

    "So Amazing" is a collection of the most memorable hits from Vandross'

musical legacy.  Artists and songs featured on the album thus far include Mary

J. Blige ("Never Too Much"), Aretha Franklin ("A House Is Not A Home"), Usher

("Superstar"), Beyonce & Stevie Wonder ("So Amazing"), Alicia Keys ("If This

World Was Mine" -- duet with Jermaine Paul), Donna Summer ("Power of Love"),

Celine Dion ("Dance With My Father"), Patti LaBelle ("Here and Now"), Jamie

Foxx ("Creepin"), Elton John ("Anyone Who Had A Heart" -- duet with Luther's

original vocals), Fantasia ("Till My Baby Comes Home"), John Legend ("Love

Won't Let Me Wait"), Babyface ("If Only For One Night"), Angie Stone ("Since I

Lost my baby") and Wyclef Jean ("Always and Forever").

    Luther Vandross was undeniably one of the most significant balladeers of

our time.  Since the 1981 platinum-selling release of "Never Too Much,"

Luther's recording career spanned over two decades and resulted in a lifetime

of chart topping hits.  Through the 1980's, he recorded a string of platinum

albums, including "Forever, For Always, For Love," "Busy Body" and "The Night

I Fell In Love."  He scored his first Grammy Award in 1989 with "Here And

Now."  His last studio album, 2003's "Dance With My Father," received 4 Grammy

Awards (including Song of the Year for the title song "Dance With My Father")

and has generated worldwide sales exceeding 3 million copies.  Collectively,

Luther's body of work has sold in excess of 30 millions records worldwide,

winning eight Grammy Awards, numerous Soul Train, BET, NAACP Image Awards and

American Music Awards.  Vandross died on July 1, 2005 from complications from

the stroke he suffered in 2003.  He was 54.
