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

One day I was cryin'
'Cause I thought that
Love was something that would
Never come my way, no way
That's when somebody told me
Not to worry
They said love would surely one day be my friend
And I would never have to be without it again
And it's because

Once you know how
You just never forget how to
It may seem kinda crazy
But it's a sho-nuff thing
Been tested and found true
Once you know how
You just never forget
How to love

I'm in love
Yes, I am, at last
I can love
Yeah
