Who'll sing the love songs now?

I'm in a somber mood because I have been listening to Luther all weekend. It has finally hit me that we have heard the last of that distinctive mellow voice. As that old song goes, who'll take the weight? Is anyone out there ready? Do they have what it takes to not only sing a love song but feel it too? Are their experiences enough to make you feel what they sing? Will their songs take you back to the day and the hour and be able to describe what you were doing when you heard their song for the first time? When you hear the first chord of the first verse will their songs make you raise both your hands in the air and say "yes-I've been there too"? Will everyone want to cover their song but afraid to because they know it will always be compared to the original?

I hope so.

Goodbye Luther.
