Luther Vandross, socially charged, singles
Just like Aretha Franklin, Luther Vandross took on the struggles of youth in his music. Maybe not intentionally but, Vandross’ “Dance With My Father” struck a chord with families and men in particular.
The video for the single was and is one of the only music videos in recent years to highlight a bevy of African American male father figures. Everyone from Beyonce and father Matthew Knowles to Whitney Houston and late father John Houston were featured in the video.
