It’s incredible to know that Luther’s musical contributions to the world are now memorialized among the other greats that will be enjoyed for generations to come.
His display is stunning, dramatic and gorgeous. It has his eye-catching red, black and crystal sequenced Art Deco stage jacket and was created by fashion designer Tony Chase. It's a striking reminder of the beauty, elegance and refined showmanship he created for his audiences worldwide.
The case also contains Luther’s own hand-written lyric sheet for his Grammy winning song "Dance With My Father" in addition to the only microphone he used to record his studio albums.
When you’re in Washington, please enjoy the entire museum, but make your first stop Luther’s display on the fourth floor. Take pictures of yourself with the display then post them on our IG page FANDROSS _official and use the hashtag:

Isn’t There Someone
With the season’s change it’s time to Fall in love with this little known yet powerful, heart grabbing gem ISN’T THERE SOMEONE .. Written by and released on Luther’s 1998 “I Know” album ..
In this song Luther lays out intense emotions from two different perspectives .. One is focused on someone who is lonely, waiting and questioning where love is and feeling like they are dying from lack of love .. But their night dreams are still full of hope and romance ..
The other is sadly watching that loneliness and pain, hears the desperate prayers and is more than willing to be the person who cares that you’re dying for love, so is pulling you closer to be the someone you need ..
It’s an opera! All the suspense .. Will they come together??
If you’ve ever been on either side tell us about it and tag us on our IG page, FANDROSS_Official using the hashtag:
#LVSOMEONE
For all we know some people only cry
They have no good times, no poetry rhymes
They don’t know how or when or if or why
Why the goodness never stays
Or why love didn’t come again today
Isn’t there someone who sees
I’ll be the someone who cares that you’re dying for love
I can be the someone that you need
And you wish your life could be more like your dreams
What a moonlit sound, your voice is not too loud
But somehow I hear it coming through to me
I pray you hang on to your dream
And I hope it gives you all the love you need
You need
Is there someone to believe
Well, I’ll be the someone who cares that you’re dying for love
I can be the someone that you need
That’s why I’m pulling you closer to me
But like anything you can’t see
It’s just a little harder to believe
Well, I’ll be the someone who cares that you’re dying for love
I can be the someone that you need
I can be the someone that you need
Luther Vandross and Richard Marx, Songwriters
