Luther Vandross - "Don't Want to Be A Fool"


Not too many artists compared with the talents of Luther Vandross during the 1980s and '90s. His voice set the standard for R&B music for an entire generation. You could spend hours listening to his music while yelling out the occasional, "Oh, I forgot how much I loved that song!" "Don't Want to Be A Fool" is one of those songs that AC stations passed onto Smooth Jazz stations. "Don't Want to Be A Fool" was a top 10 song on the Hot 100, R&B, and AC charts in 1991 with good reason. Actually, Luther managed to score at least one #1 song on the R&B charts from 1981 to 1994. Like Lionel Richie, Marvin Gaye, and Whitney Houston, Luther's music will play on for generations to come.
