 SANTA MONICA, CA. (Recording Academy) - "As one of the top vocalists in R&B and pop music, this multi-GRAMMY winning icon had an indelible career writing, singing and producing hits - all made instantly memorable by his soothing and sensuous tenor. Luther Vandross was honored with his eighth GRAMMY Award during our 46th GRAMMY telecast, during which we saluted his music and his fighting spirit. Luther's life and songs demonstrated the power of love, and his music will live on forever, though we will miss a good friend and an immensely talented man." - Neil Portnow, President
