We know you see many tribute bands that say they are the best but let us introduce you to one that can back up the claim. Luther Vandrossʼ official website states that “His distinctive brand of satin smooth vocal magic moved international audiences and continues to touch people to this day.” These words couldnʼt be truer. Everyone has a favorite Luther song. Whatʼs yours? Few artists capture not only the audience but also their heart. Luther Vandross was one of those. So it is out of love, respect and honor that we designed this tribute to Luther Vandross. William “SMOOTH” Wardlaw embodies the sound and style of Luther and wraps it up with his own flavor. So close your eyes for a moment and listen. Do you hear Luther? Smooth is a great singer and fantastic entertainer that is burning up the country to sold out audiences. He has a striking resemblance to the late, great Luther Vandross. He looks like, talks like, laughs like - and YES - SINGS LIKE LUTHER!
