Designated the "heartbeat" of R&B during the 1980s and 1990s, Luther Vandross led a productive singing and songwriting life before to this preeminence. The soul balladeer's strong commitment to the art of music continued on its Grammy-winning course, even after an acute stroke in 2003 left him severely incapacitated and unable to continue public appearances.

Luther Ronzoni Vandross, Jr. was born in Manhattan, New York on April 20, 1951, the baby of four children. His father, also named Luther, was an upholsterer who died of diabetes when the singer was just eight years old. Despite this sadness, his mother, a practical nurse, made sure that music was prevalent in the Vandross household, particularly gospel, soul and doo-wop. Luther was influenced by his older sister Patricia, who became a member of a doo-wop group called The Crests, and scored with the 1958 single "Sixteen Candles".

In the 1970s, while still working his way up, Luther voiced commercial jingles (Kentucky Fried Chicken) and provided backup vocals on tour and in session work for such notables as David Bowie, Chaka Khan, Barbra Streisand, Carly Simon, Bette Midler and Donna Summer.

At age 30, he finally recorded his first solo album with the No. 1 R&B and "Top 20" pop chartmaker, "Never Too Much". He continued steadily with such albums as "Forever, for Always, for Love" (1982) and "Give Me the Reasons" (1986), but it wasn't until 1989 that he had his first "Top 10" single with "Here and Now" (No. 6), which finally placed him securely on the love song pedestal. Such other No. 1 R&B singles would include "Stop to Love", "There's Nothing Better than Love" and "Any Love".

A minimalist stylist whose eloquent, velvety renditions were accentuated by spot-on phrasing and effortless vocal control, his image quickly led to such unwelcome sobriquets as "master of bedroom music" and the restrictive label of being a "ladies only" act.

The 1990s seemed, career-wise, stronger than ever again with a Top 40 hit dueting with Mariah Carey on "Endless Love" (1994) and the release of his No. 1 R&B signature version of "Always and Forever" (1994).

On camera, film and television acting appearances include a cameo in Robert Townsend's film The Meteor Man (1993) and episodes of "Beverly Hills: 90210" (as himself) and "Touched by An Angel". A documentary, Luther Vandross: Always and Forever (1994), is also available. Through his career, Luther continued to write and produce for other artists including Whitney Houston, Dionne Warwick, Teddy Pendergrass, Cheryl Lynn and Aretha Franklin. Following his massive April 2003 stroke, he made a phantom return to the spotlight with the release of his CD "Dance With My Father" (2003), which was recorded before his illness. At the awards show, the absent Luther was rewarded with four Grammy Awards, 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 of a heart attack on July 1, 2005 at the JFK Medical Center in Edision, New Jersey, 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.

Vandross died on July 1, 2005, at the JFK Medical Center in Edison, New Jersey, at the age of 54 due to a heart attack.

Vandross's funeral was held at Riverside Church in New York City on July 8, 2005. Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle, Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick and Cissy Houston were among the speakers and singers at the service. Vandross was entombed at the George Washington Memorial Park in Paramus, New Jersey. His mother, Mary Ida Vandross, died in 2008.

Listen to Hell At Night feat. Ella Langley: https://symphony.to/bigxthaplug/hell-at-night

Lyrics:
Heartbreak’s a funny thing
How it makes you think
What it makes you want

Why, when it ends, us getting revenge
Sounds better than moving on

And I’d love to live and let live
Let it go, forgive and forget
Holding a grudge ain’t what I want to do
But when it comes to you

I hope it's hell at night
Straight to the morning
I hope you close your eyes
And just can’t ignore it
’Cause it’s too damn loud
Tossing and turning
I hope it's hell at night
And my memory’s burning, burning

Aye
I hope you hear me every time you play a song
I hope you meet the right person but y’all never get along
I hope you know you ain’t right, and you so good at burning bridges
I hope you finally find some love and every day he hurt your feelings
I hope you, I hope you turn your heater on and it blows cold
I hope you leave your car running at the store and it get stolen
I hope you have a nightmare every single day of your life
I hope you have a bad morning, and one hell of a night

I hope it's hell at night
Straight to the morning
I hope you close your eyes
And just can’t ignore it
’Cause it’s too damn loud
Tossing and turning
I hope it's hell at night
And my memory’s burning, burning

Aye
I hope you see me every time you close your eyes
And every time you think about me, you hear thunder in the sky
I’m out the way, and by the way, I hope you lived and what you learned
I hope you go deep into the woods, and you make the wrong turn
I hope it burns you up

Like a cigarette
Like a last call shot
Straight to the head
I hope stare at the wall
Or an old home screen
Kind of hopin’ I call
’Cause you can’t call me

I hope it's hell at night
Straight to the morning
I hope you close your eyes
And just can’t ignore it
’Cause it’s too damn loud
Tossing and turning
I hope it's hell at night
And my memory’s burning, burning
