Biography

Luther Vandross was born on the Lower East Side of New York on April 20, 1951. His first big break came in 1975, when he performed as a backing singer on [a=David Bowie]'s Young Americans album, and received a co-writer credit after his song "Funky Music" was adapted by Bowie to become "Fascination". He was also a backing singer for [a=Bette Midler], [a=Donna Summer] and [a=Carly Simon]. He was lead singer of the group [a=Change], which had hits such as "A Lover's Holiday", "Searching" and "The Glow Of Love". In the late 1970s he was part of a singing quintet consisting former Shades of Jade members Anthony Hinton and Diane Sumler, Theresa V. Reed, and Christine Wiltshire, also called [a=Luther]. In 1981, Luther released his debut solo album [Link]. Between 1982 and 1985, five albums were released, all selling over a million copies each. Over the years, he was awarded five platinum and one double platinum disc, as well as winning 8 Grammy awards. He died July 1, 2005 at the age of 54, two years after suffering a major stroke.

LYRICS

Ready or not
You're gonna get a taste of love
So, if you've got a change of heart
Stop that before you start
None of this holding back
I thought you knew that

[Chorus:]
You'can't be doin' that now
Stop it right away
You can't be doin' that now
'Cause I need a little kindness
A little, a little tenderness
A little love somehow

Other loves you've had
Are just a thing of the past
All a part of yesterday
Forever and far away

But, never will I disappear
My love is gonna stay right here
So, none of this pulling back
I thought you knew that

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
What's it about, my love, my love
What's on your mind, now baby love
Answer my call, I'm callin'
Don't stop now that Ive fallen

Don't let a good thing get away
We've got forever and a day
To make the whole thing better
That's why I'm gonna leave you never

[Instrumental]

[Chorus and Fade]
