Goodbye Luther
Amr Gamal explains why R&B will never be the same again
Last July, the world said its last goodbyes to perhaps the greatest R&B singer to ever grace a stage, a man whose voice could convey all emotions, whether it be love, pain, hope or longing, allowing anyone listening to identify with him in some way.
