Lyrics:
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
And to run where
The brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
And to love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march,
March into hell
For that heavenly cause
And I know
If I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart
Will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be
Better for this
That one man, scorned
And covered with scars,
Still strove with his last
Ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable,
The unreachable,
The unreachable star
And I'll always dream
The impossible dream
Yes, and I'll reach
The unreachable star
#LutherVandross #RnB #Soul - Hudba
I'd like to dedicate this song to all of humanity in this year of our Lord, 2024. Keep striving.

This song when I first heard it my Mom even though it would break her pockets bought me and my Sister a pair of Converse Sneakers we were young then, as I fast forward in my Adult hood I would sneak into a Hospital with a Warrant for my Arrest which later I got removed, but in reality I was on that quest and I had know idea that I was, because of such a move God was going to set me up with the person he would use there vessel to win me for Salvation in Yeshua Praise God
This is why nobody ever tries to impersonate Luther. It just can't be done!!!!!
Definitely could
You're so missed Mr. Luther Vandross, I'll always Love You. Your music made people Love each other. RIP

This song speaks to my soul and is my ultimate dream. I will NEVER EVER stop trying to reach the unreachable star!!! Never give up. Such an inspirational song. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The most influential vocalist of his generation. Dance with my father was released after his death and was on th Top 10 Billboard 100. Still listening his music like was yesterday..
I forgot how much I miss his voice. This is one of the most soulful and passionate renditions of this song. Luther is legendary. Always.
2023 and it's like hearing it for the first time. Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. Nobody does like Luther. RIP❤❤
So true when I'm feeling down this always brings me back 😊❤
100% agree.

Here it is 2023, I am still listening to this beautiful song! Every time I hear this song it make me feel like crying, but not sad tears. It's only one Luther! ❤❤❤
I also sang the song "The impossible dream": czcams.com/video/jeVLPuStg-g/video.html
I am crying!
Me too....Always! 6pm😢
Lucky to those who saw him live. I love this era. No one is on there phone recording.
I first heard this song in New York in 1966 when I was fortunate to see the show The Man of La Mancha. I've loved the song ever since but Luther Vandross's version is for me the most beautiful, that still leaves me in awe of its beauty. Thankyou Luther, though you cant hear this today. And for your other music...
Yes Most Agreed
Im in ❤️❤️❤️
With All of His
Music 🎶
He’s Very Special in My Book 📖
Take Care Collective 🥰
This was our PhD. theme song for me and my best friend Dr Maya Makatini ❤🎉❤. The impossible dream that came to be. Forever Grateful to God for seeing us through it all❤
You find the magic... what a wonderful way to express love. Rest in peace ❤❤❤❤
I learned today 8/13/2023 Elvis Prestley sang this song before Luther Vandross! 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
Yes, he did and so many singers have given us their wonderful version of these words that can make you pass that love on. I heard Jack Jones sing this song about 60 years ago and each time I hear it, I thank the Lord for all the talent he has given these artists. My granddaughter has heard me try to sing these wonderful words and loved hearing it. I'm not nearly as talented.
A beautiful voice... who will hopefully inspire YOU to hear the voice within YOU... to go for it and live your dream! Just like Luther did. Your dreams matter! You got this!
Most of us humans try to reach for unreachable stars. Our Lord blesses each of us with a gift. !
Dream the Impossible Dream is an inspiration in my faith walk with Jesus and Holy Spirit.
The presentation was amazing 😁
Before he left us this man and this song had to find each other.
As a gift for my wife gave her tickets to his concert,I couldn't go so she went with my sister,it turned out to be his last concert,I'm SO HAPPY that I did that for her,she LOVED luther.
That was awesome of you!!! Never got to see him in concert, but he was a amazing singer ! May he Rest In Peace! And his music lives on forever!!!
Luther is the best of the best. So unassuming with his wonderful sweet sounding voice and him just belting it out and giving his best to us. Thank you so much you beautiful man ..
Superb ❤️ such a fab thing to do 👊🏽 your wife is blessed ❤️
He is with God, now that man could sing. RIP ❤
that's so awesome! I'm 27 have been a Luther fan from birth or 7 , that was my dream to go to a Luther concert
Having just come out of Easter, listening to this song makes me think that these words could very well fit into Christ's experience as he was scarred trying to reach the unreachable star, the impossible dream (to save mankind).
Who better to sing this emotional song than the most gifted songster, Luther Vandross?
Rest in peace, dear heart, at the Father's right side.
We miss you terribly. 😢❤🥀💞💞💞💞❤️
This is how the song should be sung passionately soulful and pure love
I truly appreciated that even though his 2 back up ladies voices were only on for 11 seconds, he had them dressed like a million bucks. He loved him some back up ladies.
the GREATEST male vocalist of all time....a true legend 😍
My dad's favorite song-from South Africa
I couldn't agree with you more. When I first heard his voice, so many years ago, at the time I know who he was he was relatively new, and I said at the moment I heard his voice that this young man is going to be going to be great, phenomenal in every way. Just as I predicted he truly was was
Best ever male vocalist x
💯💯💯
❤❤❤ 🎤 yesss 🙌
I dedicate this to the U.S. military,NASA and anyone on Earth who is being opressed or struggling. Hang in there and keep the Faith. 🙏
Lastly, to the Patriots who helped and fought to create the U.S.A. They succeeded despite all odds being against them.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
WELL SAID...THIS SONG MOVES ME TO TEARS..
To all who are dying for who they are ... God help this planet.. we must all be true to when I'm laid to my rest . The world. Will be BETTER for this .. to reach this unreachable Star.....
Best Singer for ever Rip in peace
whoever wrote this, it is simply BEAUTIFUL. touching and heartfelt. Most humans have to reach for the untouchable stars in life. so many obstacles.
Jacques Brel wrote the music and lyrics for this song entitled “La Quête”. The French lyrics were translated into English.
I don't see a person but a pure angel singing.🪽🕊🪽🕊🪽
Luther's version is so mesmerising and gives me shivers in the most uplifting way.
Imagine he’s singing now in heaven to our lord and savior 😇I can’t wait to be there one day 🙏🙏🙏
It's now "2023" going into December before the New Year of "2024". Merry Christmas, everyone. As I listen again to this talent, at 5:03 a.m., I see myself caught up in the heavenlies in Spirit. Wandering, Wandering, Wandering, and there's Jesus Christ in Glory. Luther, yes, scorned and covered with scars for me. Jesus, words cannot even speak. Thank you
Merci. Joyeux Noël à vous aussi. Greetings from 🇨🇵 🙋♀️
When you surf CZcams long enough, you'll run into a Diamond. This is one of those Diamonds.
A human being would not disagree with you. Luther voice is too sweet, I cant find no words to describe Luther
Yes indeed. Amazing Diamond that will forever shine.
One of the brightest diamonds our Lord God created and blessed him with a voice to keep love as the forefront in life. 💞
Biden should play this song at the Rally tommow!!! Vote Blue Everyone!!! Love Biden# Vote Trump OUT !!!🙏🙏🙏
Love the way you said it
The Loss of this wonderful man has never left Me or my family. As A Dad and former DJ I made sure our kids got a great grounding in music and to understand its force and power for good, they grew up listening to him and both now in their 20's still have him on their playlists. Luther was much more than a consummate vocalist he was part of the fabric of our lives and who we wanted to be as people and parents. I don't mean that in a super-fan obsessive sort of way, its much deeper and more meaningful than just that. I so wish he was here and that we could share with our kids the experience we had when we were younger. The excitement of traveling up from Wales to see his first UK tour date at the Iconic Hammersmith Odeon, following the release of "Never Too Much" back in 1981. I will, no..we will all always miss him but we have such a legacy of his wonderful songs and performances that elevate him to one of the true greats.
Plain and simply a beautiful song, sung by one of the greatest of our lifetime. The orchestra and choir were absolutely outstanding as well.
Absolutely agree with you 💯%
My high school graduation song. Now, today I collect my license to be a Pharmacist officially. I'm so emotional.
Congratulations to you!!! Beautiful song right!!!
‼️CONGRATULATIONS ‼️
May God Keep Blessing You‼️
🙏🏽🙏🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
When you have legendary pipes like that you don't need fancy footwork or sharp choreography to impress. The voice alone gets the job done.
No Video Ever Made Has Spoke So Much To The Soul Of Human Existence Of Mankind! It Speaks To Emotions We All Have! We Feel We Hurt We Live!
This man is my hero and im 80th this year xx
Beautiful song and what a magical voice this man had , the original song was sung by an English man Matt Monro in the 60’s he sung it nice , but Luther vandross. Smash it 👏👏👏👏👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I cannot express how this song has gotten me through the toughest times. I keep reaching for that star and will never give up. These words give me strength to fight on no matter what happens in life. I feel I can conquer the world. I hope you all reach that star. Stay strong
sherri baby
Every time I hear it I think the same thoughts...never give up even when the odds say you will lose...never, never let go or give up.

In myfathers. Repotoire what memories immediately came flooding back. Xxx
Forget fossils, the sun and nuclear, this is the true power, the power to melt any heart no matter the person, a true and unique person with the voice of life. Lest rest Luther, your love goes on.
Thanks be to God for Dr. Martin Luther King...and our darling Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Everything will be alright...just wait on the Lord and be GOOD.🕊️RIP Luther❤
...I hear that they now have these venues, where you can be de-sensitised from all of this religious mumbo jumbo crap....you'd be a starter wouldn't ya.
It give you chills! What a beautiful song and a beautiful rendition from a Legend!❤❤❤

This song really does heal. I have cancer and I"m in rehab right now listening to it.Beautiful song❤#Faith#Believe# Hope. Thank God for all the gifted singers that have gone home to glory,,,,,rest peacefully
I will thank God for the healing you receive in advance. I don't actually pray anymore but I do still thank HIM . For some reason too many of my prayers have gone unanswered...although NO is an answer.
Well as I said in other Luther videos. He could sing anything including the alphabet. Which he literally did when he started out on Sesame Street. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘✊✊✊👏👏
Luther is one of my favorite singers in the world.when he sings this song "the impossible dream" you know,my life changes and feels also like a super star like him,he sings fantastic & no one can beat his style...

I'm 24 and I am new to this song , and I regret not knowing it from since the 70s .
Nobody can sing it like Luther Vandross, i say nobody.
I’m 25, but can’t stop listening to this legend. So glad they caught this on camera.
I've heard many many interpretations and renditions of this song, but I always come back to Luther's. It's simply magical.
Yes! Yes!
No lne r.i.p
David Ruffin & the Temptations WAS my favorite. Lol
Me too
fact
Loving people is very beautiful.Luther and Mariah fall in love in this endless song of love and make the best love bear fruit.Every time I listen to their songs, I am so impressed that I can't stop crying.What is Mariah thinking and feeling now?This song is endless.Even if Luther is not in this world now, the song will be sung endlessly.
If I had a voice like this, I'd never shut up
I have always loved him. The voice of an angel. So missed💔😪
Hello Shirley. How are you doing today?
I am broken, and I'll try to follow that unreachable star with all my heart😔
I feel the same. Unreachable Star and Impossible dream😪😔
Hi Demimeaux, I came across ur text and it touch my spirit to see that you're broken in some way or something or someone has caused you to feel what you're feeling.

He can pick you up when you've fallen. He is your Possible Dream. There's nothing He cannot do or undo for you Demi. Trust in Him and in ur quiet time, talk to Him with a sincere heart and truly mean it. You'll feel his presence, his love, as He comfort you no matter what you're going

Thank you for your kind words I do believe it, it's so very true God bless and keep you always and forever💞
My Dad passed away and this song has given so much comfort. He is in heaven with glorious stars and love.RIP 3/6/24
All his music will never get old.This tells the story about life,just keep on striving.
Oh how I miss that voice…just like Karen Carpenter, he died too young and we lost that one of a kind voice.
It's impossible to sing like Heavenly Luther Vandross.
Im getting chills over this song.Brilliant!!! Young people willl never know the beauty of this song.These are words that go deep down your spine.
Why am I crying hearing this song?
This song has been murdered by many, we have witnessed it being mastered by a legend.
This is MAGNIFICENT. It truly does heal. It may bring you to tears for every wrong done to you, but it does heal as well. 🙏
Oh how I miss him and his beautiful voice! He was an absolute treasure 💖
Wow I love this song and it melts my heart anytime I listen to it. Are you a music lover❤️❤️?
Indeed
The best version of this song by a mile…
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@marcog6056 damn 6 months
I've known this song from an old 6th grade book, around 1990's published. I thought it was a poem but here I am. It's a beautiful song, wow.
This song always makes me cry. 😢 😭
Living as an immigrant can be so hard and painful.
A beautiful voice backed by an orchestra. Must have been heaven on earth for those in attendance.
Formidable cette chanson qui? la chante en français.
ILove you to My Sweetheart ❤️❤️ Angela
Luther Vandross is a talent that cannot be imitated or replaced. I cried when I found out that we had lost him. I will treasure his voice forever.
What a voice. I will always miss you.
Love you ❤
Danke dir ,mein Herz ist so berührt von deiner Stimme ❤
Going through the hardest times in life. This song was written for me. Thank you Luther for giving me encouragement to hang in there.
I miss this beautiful man ❤
Luther was in a league of his own.
I burst into tears every time the chior comes in at the end and he really lets loose!
