The theme for Vocal Lyric Lord's day this week is "Mom/Mother/Flowers"
~~~~~~~~~~
Trip the light fantastic toe with My Father Once again was Luther Vandross' last Height forty unmarried but it was one of his near critically acclaimed songs winning Vocal of the Yr and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance at the 2004 Grammy Awards.
Vandross was unable to promote the single, suffering a stroke a month before its release.
The song is near Vandross' recollections of cherished times with his father, Luther, Sr., who died of complications from diabetes when Vandross was seven.
Notwithstanding, I chose Dance with My Father Once more for this calendar week'due south theme because every bit much as those times with his father meant to young Luther, the song turns into a child'south plea for his mother when he sings. "… but could you send her the only homo she loved; I know yous don't practise it usually, but Honey Lord, she's dying to trip the light fantastic toe with my male parent once more."
Gets me every fourth dimension.
FUN FACTS
- Although he and Richard Marx had collaborated on songs earlier, Vandross asked Marx to work on Dance with My Begetter Again considering Richard had likewise lost his father (in 1997), and Vandross knew he could understand the feeling he was trying to convey.
- Luther's mom, Mary Ida, loved the song and said, "I was amazed at how well Luther remembered his father, how we used to dance and sing in the house. I was so surprised that at vii one/2 years of age, he could remember what a happy household we had."
- While Vandross was hospitalized, a music video was shot for the unmarried featuring musicians, singers, actors and sport stars with their fathers. The video features childhood snapshots of Vandross. Notwithstanding, near the end of the video there is a shot of Luther with his honey mother. (Luther died in 2005 and his mom passed away in 2008.)

Dance with My Father Once more
Songwriter: Luther Vandross & Richard Marx
Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would elevator me high
And dance with my mother and me
And so
Spin me around 'till I fell comatose
Then up the stairs he would acquit me
And I knew for sure
I was loved
If I could get another adventure
Another walk
Another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I'd love love love
To dance with my begetter again
When I and my female parent
Would disagree
To get my manner I would run
From her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Yes yeah
Then finally make me exercise
Just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sail
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me
If I could steal i last glance
One final step
One final trip the light fantastic with him
I'd play a song that would never always cease
Crusade I'd love love love to
Trip the light fantastic with my father again
Sometimes I'd mind outside her door
And I'd hear how mama would cry for him
I'd pray for her even more than me
I'd pray for her even more than than me
I know I'one thousand praying for much too much
But could you send her
The only man she loved
I know you don't do it commonly
Merely Dear Lord
She's dying to trip the light fantastic toe with my father again
Every nighttime I autumn asleep
And this is all I ever dream
