Luther Vandross Leaves a Legacy of Love
"You've got to constantly keep yourself motivated and inspired."--Angela Bassett
For actors I'm sure the inspiration has to come from deep within and must be compelling. But so it is with each of us in our daily work. What inspires you to do what
you do? How do you force yourself to awaken each day and do the best you can? As an author of romantic novels, some days I don't feel an ounce of romance in my bones. And it is extremely difficul when I need to write that especially tender love scene where the hero and heroine consummate their love. To get through those dry spells I usually drop a Luther Vandross love ballad into my CD player. There is no other voice like Luther's to help me remember the Power of Love because love is So Amazing. After listening to Mr. Vandross croon I remember why my character has to say, "Let Me Take You Out Tonight."Mr. Luther Vandross' is gone, but his music remains. And oh, how I need it to do what I do.

That was a very thoughtful ,loving post.
I performed with luther when before he was
'famous' he was everything that singing can be.
Somepeopleare so hard-wired to express themselves. He was one of those.
You seem eqally so, in your ability to express 'love' :)
I like how you connected the dots between constant inspiration & constant love...you & your husband,cool.
