One trivia note: Of all the ULs about kids (typically African-Americans) being named after foods (like the ubiquitous “jello” twins), Luther is a real live case, his mother having picked his middle name after Ronzoni pasta, which supposedly was one of the few things she could eat while she was pregnant with him.
Love the trivia tidbit, Earl Snake-Hips Tucker!
The thing I will miss about Luther is his smile and his joy. It really seemed like he loved life and loved music. Too bad he didn’t take better care of himself…
We can add another member to the chorus, too.
Man, this is getting bad.
The world is a lot less smooth today.
“I’d rather have a bad time with you, than good times with someone else…”

Oh, I’m so sad at this. Couldn’t nobody sang like Luther. RIP, hon.
