I went out with several friends tonight and we all had a moment of silence for Luther and then had a toast to his memory. Amazing how so many people -- different ages and ethnic groups -- had such a strong personal feeling for him.
I saw him in concert several times in the 80s. I have NEVER seen such elegance and panache from a performer (and his back up singers, as well) especially in an arena setting. It was ALWAYS about the music for him and he always surrounded himself with the best of the best. The artists who's careers he had a major influence on include everyone from David Bowie, Aretha, Labelle and so many others.
Apparently a new tribute album to him has been already in the works with artists such as Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Wylcef Jean and others.
He shall be missed.

I saw him with Patti LaBelle - it can't get much better than that - ever.
I do hope he found some peace in his heart, eventually.
