My Favorite Things
Luther Vandross Lyrics
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels,
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles,
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things.
When I'm feeling sad
I just simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad.
The girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,
The snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I just simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad.
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I just simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad.
So bad, any more, not any more

After Vandross left the group, he was signed to Epic Records as a solo artist and released his debut solo album, Never Too Much, in 1981.
His hit songs include "Never Too Much", "Here and Now", "Any Love", "Power of Love/Love Power", "I Can Make It Better" and "For You to Love". Many of his songs were covers of original music by other artists such as "If This World Were Mine" (duet with Cheryl Lynn), "Since I Lost My Baby", "Superstar" and "Always and Forever". Duets such as "The Closer I Get to You" with Beyoncรฉ, "Endless Love" with Mariah Carey and "The Best Things in Life Are Free" with Janet Jackson were all hit songs in his career.

Not just his voice, but the arrangement is very masterful. Has a jazz vibe to it.
Glenn Starkey
And despite being 90s instruments there is still a strong Harlem jazz feel to it...replace the synth with horns are you can feel the Duke or Count doing this number at the Apollo without much strain
Mona McDonald
Yes it is
Renda Jackson
