    Dam 🤦🏽‍♂️🙏🏾🕊️💙. We Met him in the Shark 🦈 bar the weekend of his last performance 🎭 at the Beacon Theatre. Pleasant beautiful spirit. Told him that we were going to be there and we had second row seats 💺 stage left. And when he walked out from stage left to SET THE SHOW OFF TO (NEVER TOO MUCH!) and looked and saw us and gave us the biggest smile and wave 👋🏾 ♥️👋🏾🎭🙏🏾. My Goodness you couldn’t tell us we wasn’t Luther’s favorites that night.. Continued Peaceful Journey to our vocal ICON 🕊️💙🙏🏾🎭🫡

      Lisa also sang back-up for Chaka Khan a couple of years before joining Luther's live concerts. She sings "NIGHT IN TUNISIA" live with her on the"THIS IS MY NIGHT/I FEEL FOR YOU" concert series and tears it up. I began following her career right after I'd saw that performance in Iwakuni, Japan while serving in the U.S. MARINES. My God she's beautiful, humble and vocal chords second to none!!!!

      Yes. Many of Luther’s background singers also either sang background vocals concurrently with other great artists, or at one time were with them; such as Roberta Flack, and CHIC. Brenda White and Yvonne Lewis sang with Roberta for a long time.
