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

Yeah, yeah
Here it is
She caught me by surprised I must say
Cause I never have seen such a pretty face
With such a warm and beautiful smile
It wasn't hard for me to notice her style
I was fascinated, surely
She took my heart and held it for me
I wouldn't let her get away
Not until she heard me say

[Chorus:]
Excuse me miss
But what's your name
Where are you from and can I come
And possibly, can I take you out tonight

To a movie, to the park
I'll have you home before it's dark
So let me know, can I take you out tonight

Don't care if I get rejected
At least then I won't regret it
Regret the fact I missed the chance for romance
At least I'll walk away knowing
I tried my best and I'm going
I'm going on with my day
Cause at least she heard me say

[Chorus 2x]

That's why I had to come over
And introduce myself to you
Cause you're never gonna know
Where you'll find love, oh yeah
And hopefully I found it in you, yeah

[Chorus]
