Luther Vandross tributes on Indiana radio stations

R

Radiogeek500

Ok, so who is paying tribute to this great R&B legend? Hopefully Radio One took some time out of it's cookie cutter approaches at WHHH/WTLC to pay tribute. Then again, from what I hear what RO station KKBT in LA did tonight, wouldn't be suprised. Ft Wayne stations I imagine are paying props, but what about Terre Haute and Evansville? Delilah had to be doing something(I know she's on WIKY) and WEOA usually airs Hip Hop on Friday Nights, but for a guy like this surely they stopped playing TI and Trick Daddy for a couple of minutes, right? Did WSTO or WDKS do any mentions or play any of his 90s hits? I know they're CHR/Pops, but come on, these are female targeted stations, Luther was good at appeling to almost every female no matter what their race/background/religion was.

So on that note, once again who was paying tribute and who just lost out?<P ID="signature">______________

In Ohio, Radio One's WROU played some extra Luther with no announcements during its automated evening show. I didn't hear the live afternoon drive show, if the announcement came down during that I'm sure it was mentioned. <P ID="signature">______________
I'll get back to you when I think of a cute quote</P>

I talked about Luther Vandross on my radio show at Mix-fm. The guy was a legend in music. I even made sure that I played his music at the wedding reception I was Djing last night. He will be truely missed. Aaron Green and I talked about it in our cross talk just before 7pm. I never heard Delilah mention a thing, and tuned in to see if she would. She might have been taped that night. Luther's Dance With My Father is one of the most powerful songs I have ever heard. I can't help thinking with this Luther situation, and how people said he never really recovered from his stroke about Dick Clark. Has anybody seen him? New Year's Eve is not that far away. It makes you wonder how he is doing. I hope that guy makes it back, because New Year's would not be the same without him. I am glad I got to watch some of last year's show. He is truly a long-standing legend in the business.
