This entire article is already tagged and marked at the beginning as not citing it's sources. There is no need to go through and mark 1000 places, it only makes the article look bad. Hundreds of other articles are the same way on Wikipedia, why are some people insistant on degrading the entire page with "citations needed" everywhere? The place for that is on top of the article or at the top of the section. Otherwise it's overkill, which is definatly is here! <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[Special:Contributions/70.226.14.246|70.226.14.246]] ([[User talk:70.226.14.246|talk]]) 03:03, 8 April 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->

:I disagree. The tag at the top of the article is to signal that it needs citations, the tags within the article are to identify ''what'' content needs citations. The reason this article "looks bad" is because so much of it is not sourced, and a lot of is questionable. [[User:Closenplay|Closenplay]] 10:38, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

==Discography==
I notice the extensive Singles Discography. However, I do not see an Album Discography. As a wikipedian, I was attempting to find out which are his most important compilation albums. I personally own [[The Best of Luther Vandross...The Best of Love]]. However, this is a 1989 Compilation Album. I own 2 other Albums [[Power of Love (Vandross Album)]] and [[Songs (Vandross album)]]. I am trying to determine if either of these is a compilation or what a good later compilation album would be to include in my iPod. An album discography would be quite helpful.

If has was ever married, or even just engaged, we should add that to the article. IMHO. [[User:Theaveng|Theaveng]] 22:09, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
I edited out the personal life section. He was not gay he just never married.


You are showing an image of Master P. Please correct [[Special:Contributions/2601:204:DE01:2640:A1D0:1F72:F200:ACA2|2601:204:DE01:2640:A1D0:1F72:F200:ACA2]] ([[User talk:2601:204:DE01:2640:A1D0:1F72:F200:ACA2|talk]]) 04:57, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
I'd also point out that since he cannot be proven gay, the lgbt tag is speculative at best, and thus should be removed

== Luther Vandross Searching Dance Mix from 1992 ==


[[File:Luther Vandross.jpg|thumb|Luther Vandross]]
I know there was a very nice piano house track from 1992 and Luther Vandross vocals from Searching were used on it (the entire vocals). I have not been able to find who was responsible for this track, it is very possibly a bootleg and was this vocals may have been illegally copied. But it is a very good track. It would be a shame if it was not discovered and added to the Luther Vandross information page on Wikipedia.


I came across a discussion at [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Luther_vandross]], so I checked on Commons [https://commons.wikimedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?search=%22Luther+Vandross%22&title=Special:MediaSearch&go=Go&type=image what was available], and inserted it.

Yep, it's a crop from the image further down in the article, but IMO good enough res for a leadimage, and it's the one available atm. It's absolutely better than no leadimage. And since we have it, no fair use option.
