For everyone who were unable to attend or unable to watch Luther Vandross' funeral, I've posted video links from the service. Hopefully, you all won't have a problem viewing the footage, if so, please refer to the directions at the bottom of this post and just follow them accordingly. There are more video links from the funeral and once they are available, I'll post them here in the original thread. As of now, I've posted as many as I could in the time given (since 9 p.m.) which I have no problem doing. I know there are boardmembers here, like myself, who although may have seen the pics and read the reviews and highlights, can all agree that reading about the funeral in print is nothing at all like being able to watch the actual video of the events taken place with your own 2 eyes. I hope you all enjoy them as much as I did! Luther was truly loved by millions of people, and after seeing the funeral for myself, I think its safe to say that he would have been very proud of the homegoing services and memorial tributes bestowed upon him from his many friends, fans and family members. As soon as they're available, the next links will be of Aretha Franklin singing amazing grace and the R&B artists, young and old, who at the end of the service, paid tribute to Luther and his family by singing 'Power of Love/Love Power.' I'll be back soon, so until then ENJOY! Oh, and remember you can save these videos to your hard drive for future viewings as well!

今天早上路上听收音机，一道call in 问答题还问到the best things in life are free 的演唱人是谁。

美国著名歌手路瑟-范德鲁斯葬礼在纽约举行(图) 新京报综合报道 美国时间7月8日，美国著名骚灵歌手路瑟·范德鲁斯(LutherVandross)的葬礼在纽约举行。他的家人、朋友、歌迷齐聚在一起，追忆这位巨星54岁的一生。在葬礼的结尾，人们还一齐翻唱了他的经典名曲《PowerofLove/LovePower》。 　葬礼气氛并不伤感 　　在7月8日路瑟·范德鲁斯的葬礼上，巨星云集。当红歌星亚瑟小子、艾莉西亚·凯斯以及歌坛前辈史帝夫·旺德(StevieWonder)、艾瑞莎·弗兰克林(ArethaFranklin)、佩蒂·拉贝尔(PattiLaBelle)都来到了现场，表达他们对这位早逝巨星的惜别之情。 　　路瑟·范德鲁斯多年的老朋友佩蒂·拉贝尔盛装出席葬礼，但她显得并不特别悲伤：“今天这里没有人感到伤感。这不是悲伤的时候，我们要高兴起来。如果我们能听到路瑟·范德鲁斯的意见，他也一定这样想。” 　　佩蒂还当场念了一首路瑟·范德鲁斯的母亲写的诗。除了母亲，大家庭的其他成员也都来到了葬礼现场，包括他的9个侄女以及11个孩子。而歌迷们来的则更多，一大早教堂还未开门，冒着大风雨前来悼念他的歌迷队伍就已经长达两个街区。 　　杰克逊第一时间致电悼念 　　去年，已经在医院卧床不起的路瑟·范德鲁斯凭借《DanceWithMyFather》一曲一口气赢得格莱美4项大奖。在去世之后，其圈中好友如迈克尔·杰克逊、昆西·琼斯及艾瑞莎·弗兰克林等都立刻致电悼念。其时，刚刚摆脱娈童案困扰、正在巴林休假的迈克尔·杰克逊更是第一时间致电慰问老友的家人。 　　作为和史帝夫·旺德、迈克尔·杰克逊同时代的巨星，路瑟·范德鲁斯称得上是大器晚成。出道至今，他累积的唱片销量高达2500万张之多。而今年，重病之中的他还与碧昂斯合唱《TheCloserIGetToYou》，可谓生命不息，音乐不止。 　　不过自从2003年4月在寓所内中风后，路瑟一直都没有作任何公开露面，仅仅在2004年格莱美颁奖典礼上通过录像带在歌迷面前出现了一次。当时的他因为身体不适仍然住在医院，在发表获奖感言的时候，他说：“记住，我一定会再回来的，因为我相信爱的力量！”

LS考虑做个 LUTHER音乐专题吧？
