Luther Vandross biography:
His next recording credit was on an album by Roberta Flack in 1972. Luther Vandross was the founder of the first ever Patti LaBelle fan club. Luther also sang on Delores Hall's Hall-Mark album from 1973. Luther Vandross sang with her on the song "Who's Gonna Make It Easier For Me", which Luther Vandross wrote. Luther Vandross also contributed another song, "In This Lonely Hour". Having co-written "Fascination" for David Bowie's Young Americans, Luther Vandross went on to tour with him as a back-up vocalist in September 1974.[8][6] Vandross wrote "Everybody Rejoice"[9] for the 1975 Broadway musical The Wiz; also appearing as a choir member in the movie.
Following his massive April 2003 stroke, Luther Vandross made a phantom return to the spotlight with the release of his 2003 CD "Dance With My Father," which was recorded prior to his illness. At the awards show, the absent Luther was rewarded with four Grammys, including song of the year. The success also gave him his first No. 1 album on the pop chart and four NAACP Image Awards. The beloved 54-year-old musician died at JFK Medical Center in Edision, New Jersey, of his lingering complications and was survived by his Evangelist mother Mary Ida Vandross, who was instrumental in promoting her son's last work to Grammy glory following his severe debilitation.
