#ABCsOfMe V is for Vandross....could it be for anyone else? Not many songs can bring me to tears...this one can..everytime I hear it. What a powerful statement when a musician can do that~ I know that Luther is dancing and singing with his Father today..(pass the kleenex please)   3

In 2003, Vandross co-wrote the song "Dance with My Father" and dedicated it to his father. The title was based on his childhood memories and his mother's recollections of the family singing and dancing in the house. In 2004 the song won two Grammy Awards. "Back when I was a child/Before life removed all the innocence/My father would lift me high/And dance with my mother and me/"   1
