It looks like we lost another great talent, who BTW is no stranger to TV. He'll be missed http://apnews.myway.com//article/20050702/D8B2U6S80.html

You may not be aware that Vandross was a member of the teenage "Street Chorus" group on the very first episodes of "Sesame Street" in September, 1969.

Luther also was the singing voice of ABC's "Zack of All Trades" interstitials on Saturday mornings. He also was heard on WNBC-TV's first promos introducing the "News 4 New York" format in the fall of 1980, and sang backup on NBC's "Proud as a Peacock" promos that same year.
