Luther

So grateful to have lived during your lifetime, I wasn't born when the great Sam Cooke was in his prime, But I know that he is gazing down from above, Smiling at you because you're holding the torch like hand in glove, Singing love songs that sincerely touch people from beginning to end, Luther, your talent is the 8th wonder of the world, truly a god send. As a teen, I would sit in my room and play your album, Forever, For Always, For Love for hours upon hours, Absolutely captivated by your interpretation and vocal power, I heard "Any Love" just the other day, Your delivery upon the first note still blows me away, You are in the category with Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder, When you sang, "Wait For Love" I really believed and waited, When you sang, "I'm Only Human" I was totally inundated By your sensitivity, No one can hold a candle to your rendition of any love ballad, You are the icing on the cake, the tomato in the salad! You are a great writer, producer, and singer, no one can ever place you under, Any kind of microscope or label, I am praying that one day you are able, To delight us again with your gift of song, I miss your creativity and I long, To see you in concert again, You are a singers' singer, A microphones greatest friend. Luv you Luther!
