Luther Vandross was a titan of the R&B and soul scene from the early '80s straight through the '90s. He was a giant of a man—standing 6’3” with broad shoulders and a commanding physical presence. Yet, there was an undeniable elegance to him, right down to his large, meticulously manicured hands. He had a devilish smile that playfully betrayed those gentle brown eyes, and you could always see a genuine spark in them whenever he sang about love. And when the man put on a tailored suit? He didn’t just wear it; he owned it, looking every bit like a powerful, jovial king.
