"Two very very white people ask me about Luther Vandross recently..."
Co workers independent of each other, approached me and asked me if I were a Luther Vandross fan. They've also been cranking it in their offices.
Luther Vandross I've always thought of one of the "blackest" singers in that he is adored by all black people and yet he barely registers on white folks radar. Can you think of another act outside of gospel that has close to 100% black recognition and very low white recognition?
Is there something in pop culture zeitgeist that I miss that has white folks discovering Luther Vandross?
Did someone cover one his songs recently or something. Major white act name his as an influence (I am getting a Rolling Stones big up'ing Muddy Waters type of feeling)?
