Do you know the way to San Jose, Walk on by, Wishing and Hoping, Then Came you (With the Spinners) , I say a little Prayer, Deja Vu many others.

To watch her eyes and mouth, this is what Luther did to women. I remember taking a girl I just was getting to know to a Luther concert and she absolutely attacked me afterward. He sounded just like the albums, just like here. I feel old now that these two have no idea who Dionne Warwick is!! She is Aunt to Cissy Houston who is Whitney Houston Mom.....and is in the top 3 charting on the Billboard 100 of female artists in the Rock Era. I will never love this way again is one of her hits.....and this song, (A House is Not a Home) was one of her songs. Luther is doing a version of it. This was a tribute to her and Luther was a big fan.... Even doing a famous duet with her..."How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye"...... Surprised they did not recognize a young Janet Jackson in the audience since they had a Michael album behind them.
