Don't You Know That?
Luther Vandross died this month back in 2005. He was featured in this year’s Academy Award-winning documentary “20 Feet From Stardom,” a movie chronicling the work of professional background singers in the American music industry. Before launching his solo career, Vandross sang backup on David Bowie’s 1975 hit “Young Americans” (pictured above) and for artists like Chaka Khan, Barbra Streisand, and Ben E. King. It would be no surprise that Vandross would prominently feature a group of background singers when he released his debut album “Never Too Much” in 1981. Enjoy this track off that album, and appreciate the lost art of backup singing.
