funny enuff... that was entered into my thought the moment i saw this post by jangle... luther who????

when i hear luther being put into any conversation about greatest r&b singer, i always evaluate the source and the extent of their music exposure... lol... i just don't want to go there...

[Mosiah]

hilarious!

i seem to remember someone like Winsome saying all that.

[Rudi]

always wanted to know the meaning of that line.

is some kinda bluetooth love dem wenna mek?

I recall we having this discussion way back when on the forum. A young lady back in the day described it as the difference between making love and an emotional connection. Women (some) often long for an emotional connection to accompany the sex act. She liked this song because in this case it was the man calling out for an emotional connection with the women as opposed to the other way around. Hence the line "why can't I touch you".
That my friends uses up my touchy feely qoutient for the remainder of 2010.

Fully agree with everything you’ve stated here, Baddaz. In fact, I touched on the late Ronnie Dyson during a “Luther Vandross” discussion initiated last year by Lazie. Ronnie was, without a doubt, a truly outstanding singer.

Historian - about a week ago, I dedicated a chune to you, can't even remember what it was now. You're MIA 2 often

[MdmeX]

correct!! "if you let make love to you then why can't i touch you" is one of his signature hits...
